The vibe and friendliness is not there as it used to be even with the owner there. Everyone is too serious. A Coffee place is where your supposed to relax.6 dollars for a matcha green tea oat milk latte now with no vanilla.

I went to the Nibbāna Café today, i tried a vietnamese egg coffee, breakfast burrito sandwich, chocolate croissant, and a lemon muffin, everything I had today was excellent, they have a great outdoor area to sit and relax and enjoy your food and drinks. The Vietnamese EGG Coffee, yes egg coffee was unique and amazing, i loved it, the owner is friendly and the staff are very nice, I will be back soon

We were passing through Lowell and tried this café in search of excellent coffee. I was not disappointed. I had a pour over with the Ethiopian Llala and it was simply outstanding. One of the best coffees I’ve ever had. I was so impressed, we went way out of our way on the way back through town to try it again and it was just as good. Their servers were friendly and very knowledgeable about their product. A great experience!

Beautiful cafe with delicious drinks. Staff is so kind and welcoming. While waiting for your drink, you can read one of the many messages hanging from the ceiling or look at the many plants growing in every corner.

I love their Vietnamese coffee. I’ve watched them make it and they stay pretty true to how Vietnamese coffee is made. I’m also a plant lady so I appreciate their atmosphere. Plus, their community garden stole my heart!

I LOVE this coffee place. The tiramisu, vietnamese coffee....yummmm! They have a little library inside for patrons to sit and read and offer swinging chairs outside and the creator of the menu is a clever genius! Great place to relax and enjoy your time or grab a good coffee to go.

Breakfast burrito is spot on..kudos to whoever made that up👏, could be a little bigger 😅 if you want pastries, they got a massive selection.. iced tiramisu latte was incredible, probably one of the best coffee drinks ive had..seriously you can taste the premium grade. Their dedication to using everything local also deserves recognition..staff is also incredible. Much better than those chains..yes even top donut and honey dew🙄

I love this place, A LOT, and I’m usually too wildly critical of everything (especially coffee and tea). Please visit if you have the chance. You’ll be so happy that you did. Super kind and knowledgeable staff, wonderful environment, and absolutely the best drinks (I’ve never tried their food but I’d trust I that it’s tasty based on everything else). Thank you, Nibbāna!

Best specialty coffees in Lowell. Consistently try and love unique coffees like the black sugar latte. Try the coffee jellies. Experiment with unique flavors like lavender. The cafe itself is adorable, full of books and plants. I also love supporting this business because the owners care deeply about their customers, the community, and social justice. Theres nothing like a surprise handwritten note on your cup or knowing that this business is consistently giving back through its food pantry or by promoting and supporting other local businesses.

I happened by this place on my walk...what a find! One of the few places that knows how to make a proper macchiato. I had the grilled goat cheese and basil, awesome! I sat outside on one of those 75F days of November. I could have stayed all day. After a while of basking I he sun i tried the Vietnamese iced coffee. You can’t go wrong here. I had a great chat with the owned, super kind and generous. I’m making this a regular spot. See you there😁

Egg coffee was delicious! It was so strong it made me contemplate the purpose of life. Cool vibes with lots of great reading options. Baristas were friendly, I’ll have to return again for more drinks and reads.

Review №17

Outstanding cafe, with the most incredible owners. This is a truly different experience when it comes to coffee. Even their Instagram is full of knowledge -knowledge of caffeine, culture and storytelling. The vibe inside is mellow, welcoming, safe and beautiful. The treats are delicious and I’m almost overwhelmed with the amazing choices. Truly if there was such a thing as latte cocktails, this would be it. But best of all, they have a mutual aid table set up outside. A community garden for anyone. A free library to pursue. A fiercely diverse and inclusive staff. This place rocks and lowell is lucky to have such a gem.

Holy smokes, this cafe is absolutely amazing! Delicious coffee drinks, beautiful aesthetic with live plants, books and cute notes hanging about. The employees were so kind and friendly and not to mention that my caramel macchiato was made to perfection, surpassed Starbucks taste and quality. While I wanted to sip and slowly enjoy it, I slurped it down in 30 seconds because it was that good! Im looking forward to being a regular customer. I hope they thrive in the beautiful city of Lowell. Definitely my favorite new coffee shop! Thanks Nibbana!

A little slice of heaven in Downtown, Lowell. Amazing vibe with plants everywhere and spacious outdoor seating. The coffee is honestly probably the best in downtown but youre also paying for it (dont be surprised if two medium coffees with special creamer run you over $10). Absolutely must try the Black Sugar latte and the pistachio latte.

Just discovered Nibbāna Café! Wow so so good. I really like all the plants inside, it smells amazing and has a surprisingly calming affect. I ordered the iced pour over Kanzu and it was delicious. Thank you for bringing other options besides Dunkin’s or Starbucks. Also the app is 5-stars, loved the service and the free pick up parking spot.

This place is incredible! Once i entered a huge smile hit my face as there are TONS of plants inside, and it created a beautiful aura inside the cafe. I ordered the Raven milk tea, which is incredible. I loved it so much and I would move to lowell just so i could go to this cafe everyday. 10/10 I would live there if possible.

Overpriced, average tea. I got the black milk tea with less ice but the entire cup was still full of ice. The tea was very average and cost $5+.Update/response to owners message below: Im not sure if you know but your response is public. As a small business owner, I would hope that you will eventually become more empathetic to your customers needs and appreciative of feedback to help you improve.

I was in the area on business for a few days, and a few of my colleagues stopped in this wonderful cafe twice each day. The staff were very friendly, and they knew us all by name by the second day. They knew their menu, and were able to make great suggestions. They were even able to tell us more about the area, as we were all from different states. This was a truly spectacular place. If you go to Lowell, you have to go to Vinaan Cafe!

Being a self-proclaimed Connoisseur de Hollandaise, I can dub Gormleys variant both buttery and thick, which makes it well-equipped to place most Eggs Benedict consumers taste buds on holiday. But why stop there? Why not just lather this buttery perfection atop anything and everything you order? Eggs? Check. Hash browns? Check. Coffee? Why not.

Nice staff, very clean, great smoothies and bulbs tea. New obsession. They were randomly closed on a day they were listed as open last week though. That was odd and hope it was a fluke.Update- happened again. They are closed when they should be open. That’s just irritating to drive out here for it to be closed. Please fix your hours on google and you website if you want to be closed
