Definitely a little happy-place for me. It's a coffee shop inside of Mill no. 5. They tend to open…read moreup before all the shops because the people need their coffee! I used to come hide out here and do work on the weekends. I came by recently and the vibe is exactly how I remembered. Great indie-ish music, calm & almost romantic ambience, lovely team. They let me use their charger for my phone as I chilled, very appreciated! I got their coconut cooler drink, which seems like a special for the summer -- was like a coconut lemonade. So refreshing! Other things I know are good here: black coffee, americanos, scones, cookies, kombucha. I haven't tried their food yet. There's a lot of seating (tables & booth seating). And they promote events that they do as well. They seem really cool, like jazz performances, open mic nights, and comedy shows. If/when I'm around, would love to check them out. I highly recommend! And if you're around on the weekends, there's usually a farmers market or bazaar event happening at Mill no. 5 too.

It's kind of unfair to other coffee shops that this place is in Mill No 5. You get to walk through…read morethis retro wood cabin vibe up to a counter looking like it just got done serving the needs of the pre-war working class and get served by...well, a hipster. That's pretty consistent with other cafes. But the cafe just continues the vibe, it has these little nooks for you to have your conversations about organized labor and these big windows letting in all that dusty post-industrial vibe. The drinks are...I mean, they're fine. Honestly, the actual food/drinks are just kind of so-so, but because it's such a cool vibe, it's impossible not to like the place. I'll add in here they have really good wifi and it's a stellar place to sit and get some work done. I was there in the afternoon and absolutely blown away it wasn't filled by useless little laptop jockeys like me. Can't avoid this place when I'm in Lowell. It's just so much of...everything.

But it seems that each time I walk in, "I can't…read moreget no, satisfaction" - its a funky place that requires adult supervision and navigation assistance. And that is not what I have gotten. :-( Which is a bummer. The FIRST time I walked in, the cute owner was being interviewed by local news folk... and with all that attention, there was zero attention for in-coming clients. The second and third and forth times I've been in... not full... not a lot of people... same thing. I will keep trying until I get some help. Which is weird from what I hear from the CN's fans. Condiments, teas, do-it-yourself scrubs, masks, oils, soaps, planters with all kinds of cute little succulents. You'd think you are in a magic shop somewhere Harry Potter may ask Hermione or Snape to whip up (so he can get a table at the Railtrail when it's at peak craziness!). A little bit hippy, a lot new age, it's a store of wonders. But it's not for everyone. My 18 year old won't be caught in this beautiful little store. I hope I get caught (by the staff) and get a guided tour and introduction to something new - I'm a sucker for body scrubs...

Crose Nest made GORGEOUS spice blend vials for the favors at my wedding. We chose Black Lava Salt and a golden Mesquite seasoning, and Kinsey (the lovely owner of Crose Nest) layered them in glass vials, creating beautiful landscapes. You can choose from SO many spices, or create teas, bath blends, etc - so many options for cooking, drinking, and pampering! Kinsey put each vial in a beautiful linen drawstring bag, and hand-stamped our custom wedding stamp on the front of each one. Our guests were delighted by these favors. I can't recommend this service from Crose Nest enough!

It's made with the fried dough, so it's crispy and there's a huge filling to bread ratio. The fried dough doesn't taste oily either! The bahn mi is a little small (but makes sense given the size of the fried dough), but the flavor was good. More reason to buy two! I also got the little lye rice dumplings (kee chang I think?). They were sitting on the counter still warm. I love these little things dipped in sugar! They're a bit plain by themselves, but they're great with a little brown sugar syrup, red bean paste, or sugar.

First, I appreciate that in these times, the price has gone up, but is still more affordable than other local competitors, which is much appreciated. It's also nice to see so many other boba shops open up in town--many/most of them are franchises/part of a larger chain. When I think of local businesses, I am thinking here and Eggroll Cafe near UMass Lowell. I had the lychee tea w/boba (my go-to), and it was refreshing, boba very chewy. I'll have to try others/check out some of the dessert selection, too. Glad they are here!
