Thirsty Mind Coffee and Wine Bar

Lovely chai and $1 books, and the option to have wine. Though I couldn’t sit inside (stupid COVID), chairs outside on a warm October day made this a great place to just BE for a bit.

Nice local coffee house. Most of the baristas are great, but a few are clearly not people persons. The coffee is fantastic. They also have a large selection of teas, and a small selection of craft brew. They also have a good number of frozen sugary type drinks. A lot of their pastries come from Barstow's and are quite good. They have live music 2-3 times a week including an open mike night.

I go here must Saturday nights for live music and a latte. Best latte in town. I have been given free CD's from local musicians and get to hear great music from them. They have a large coffee tea and alcohol selection as well as snack and light food. The prices here are average, and from the time of this post, my large latte with soy costs $5.35. There is normally good to hear attendance to events here but the cafe is small.

Blackberry Watermelon Lemonade - Yum! Chocolate crossiants and coconut macaroons are fantastic. Nice space to chat, work, or just hang out. Not a coffee drinker, but those I've been with love it. Nicely air conditioned. Great place.

One of my favorite coffee shops in all of Western MA...and I've been to dozens. The entire Village Commons looks like it's a cross between a Dr. Seuss book and Lord of the Rings, and this place is nestled right in the heart of it. Add in a friendly owner and staff and lots of Mt. Holyoke students and this place is right at the top of the list.

I absolutely adore this place. The staff are super friendly and warm (at least when the poor dears aren't SWAMPED by us coffeholics!) and the atmosphere is homey and welcoming. I love just cozying down in a big comfy chair in the corner, pulling out my laptop and art tablet, and making a day of it. Thirsty Mind replenishes all of my creativity like no place else ever has!

Checking in, January 2017; place has still got it! They seem a little more popular now, but it's well worth it. Their menu continues to innovate and amaze!

It's a great place to get coffee or stop and read a book, they have live music and a great drink selection.

Went here to grab a coffee and a glass of wine with my sister tonight and was taken aback by the poor attitude of the barista behind the counter. We did think it was open until 10 (which was our fault, we didn’t check) so we knew we couldn’t stay for wine...which was fine with us. I went to the counter to order a drink to go and without even a smile or a greeting she asked if we wanted any pastries, which made it seem like we shouldn’t even think of ordering any drinks.

I looked up at the menu to order a drink and was made aware that the espresso machine was closed for the night. Thirty minutes were left until closing, which seems like a huge window to close the whole espresso machine down for the night. I only speak from experience of both mine and my sisters, where we have both worked in many coffee shops before. Since the espresso machines were down for the night, I ordered a coffee which was luke warm.

I understand that the store was closing and things need to get done in order to do so, but running water through an espresso machine and pulling a shot won’t set you too far back. A smile wouldn’t influence the time that you were planning on getting out tonight. Just having decent customer service skills wouldn’t have held you up either.

Unfortunately I won’t be returning.

This place would fit in well on Market St in Lowell next to Life Alive, it's got that nice eclectic decorating style that just has a good vibe to it

The coffe is well made, and the price is right. You're gonna get a quality cup here and you're not going to spend more than Starbucks.

LOVE Thirsty Mind. Room to sit alone, have a date, or grab the big table for a meeting of 6-8. Solid breakfast sandwiches and coffee - if you have a sweet tooth, go for the Thai Coffee (iced or hot). Plus beer and wine for your evening adventures!
