Coffee and Cotton

Coffee and Cotton will draw you in with its visual appeal and their service will delight you. I had my travel mug with me and they allowed me to have it filled versus creating waste. They're accommodating.

My girlfriend ordered a hot black tea and they fill it with loose leaf on site.

The muffin we ordered was pistachio white chocolate and while the flavor was good, it was dry. The coffee is beyond my pallet I think. Aside from these two things, it's otherwise a five star joint and neither thing will keep us from coming back to try again.

A quaint cafe in the historic downtown Lowell. This is located on 4th floor of Mill 5. Entrance to the building is a bit tricky and shady.

Usual breakfast stuff and loved the coffee. Friendly reception and service. There is also a bar here.

The interiors of this building is ancient and interesting.

Cute coffee place for dates. We went during weekdays so didn't have to wait at all. Customer service was good as well. Would definitely visit again.

Food and drinks are good, don't like the 3 flights of stairs leading up to the 3rd floor building, but it's a nice place if you are in the area, I wouldn't drive a long time to visit the cage if i wasn't in the area or on the same floor of the same building.

This Mill #5 is pretty neat! Our cappuccinos were the appropriate size and quality! The Sunrise Muffin and Croissant were very well made. Glad to have dropped by.

Coffee & Cotton is an oasis wrapped in a destination (Mill #5) surrounded by a unique history (Lowell and the Lowell National Historical Park). Once you enter Mill #5 and get off the elevator at Floor 4, you find yourself on the main street of an indoor village - a venue with a unique arts + crafts flair, populated with shops, a movie theater, a soda fountain, a bazaar, a farm market ... and your beverage destination: the spacious yet cozy cafe called Coffee & Cotton.

Coffee & Cotton is open every day. Other Mill #5 attractions are more likely to be populated Friday through Sunday. The cafe offers more than great coffee or tea. There is food. There is wine and craft beer ... and free Wi-Fi. Large, library like rooms filled with tables and chairs attract students, writers, artists, local university and college staff, entrepreneurs, small clusters of conversations, tourists and local residents like myself.

Here are photos I have taken at the Cotton & Coffee location from 2013 through 2019. Please note that interiors & furnishings were different in the older photos. I confess to missing the old Victorian Parlour and quiet for reading (no music was piped in). However, ear plugs work today, or ear buds and Spotify with sounds of nature.

The employees were very nice and the cafe was pretty. The drinks were not so good. We ordered a latte but got a chai instead and a watery one at that. Their early grey is overpowering with bergamot to the point that it was bitter

Unique spot for coffee and bagels. Located on the 4th floor of Mill No. 5. Parking can be tough during the week. People working the counter are friendly. Plenty of seating that overlooks Lowell.

The main space is small but very cozy. There is another room off of the main space that is equally cozy. Feel like you have stepped back in time. Everything around us has been so modernized that this space is a nice change. They have a lot to choose from on their menu and the Matcha latte was delicious

A very nice cafe on the fourth floor in mill no 5.

The food is decent but don’t expect anything spectacular. The staff are very nice. We spent around 45min enjoying the cafe and checking out the various items displayed.
