I'm more of a Brew'd guy for flavor and cost, but have to acknowledge that Coffee & Cotton has way more space.

The Lowell public library has a no food or beverages policy, not sure how much they enforce it.

UML has plenty of random study places and they sell Starbucks products. There's some nice couches at University Crossing overlooking the Howe Bridge.

Chelmsford has KJ's on Chelmsford St across from a Dunks and Java Room closer to the center. Both decent size with good coffee.

Future of Dentistry in Dracut! I am in the Dental Industry for work and the things the Dentist said as well as does for continuing education had me put a LOT of faith in him.

Stylos is outstanding

Lowell Tooth Docs

I second this

I go to Smiles by Stylos (Dr. Lou Stylos) in Chelmsford. Very comprehensive care.

Cross Point Dental has been good. Limited hours though.

I go to Dr Yankowskas, he is great, but in Tyngsborough

Java Room in Chelmsford!

Just to be specific: warp and weft is welcoming and lgbtqia friendly in its way - I can’t think of any of the more established restaurants downtown that aren’t, really - but it isn’t what I would call a gay bar. Downtown doesn’t really have one, and it’s a shame.

I suggest looking into The Keep and The Safe too. Bit younger crowd

Dragonfly Cafe just opened and is a great place!

came here to say this, it's been said, i upvote, i leave... after a quick comment

Second Warp and Weft. Excellent food, great/friendly service, live music. They have a huge rainbow flag draped at the front window and saw plenty of LGBT+ from both customers and servers alike.

Brew’s. Or pick up coffee at Nibanna and head over the the Pollard library. UML library also is good during the week with a starbucks inside.

If you like art go to Western Ave Studios. Lots of awesome art and Navigation brewery is downstairs. Also Mill No 5 in downtown lowell has alot of cool shops and stores and an old-school movie theater. Lots of amazing food in downtown lowell as well if your into Cambodian, Vietnamese and Thai food. If you like Pho I recommend Phnom Penh on Westford St. The best oxtail Pho in the city.

Panela is a great restaurant, Columbian with a twist, they also have free Salsa lessons on Thursday nights.

Do you live there currently?

Thanks for the responses everyone :)

Brew'd Awakening always has a lot of people working.

Panela is fantastic and I wish it was more well known. Always changing around the menu and they care deeply about the food they’re making.

LEMON AND THYME IS THE BEST!

Nibbana Cafe (in addition to Coffee and Cotton, already mentioned)

Coffee and cotton in Mill #5

Living downtown is great.

I'd recommend Warp and Weft as a great restaurant to check out.
