So worth the journey! Great atmosphere and relaxing setting. Wide open floor plans with super comfy chairs. Natural light combined with beautiful decor. A true Zen experience. Not to mention that the quality of the food and presentation of dishes goes above and beyond. Most importantly, they cater to the community that has severe food, allergies. They are passionate about creating flavorful dishes! I travel well over an hour to visit this establishment and it has been such a pleasure to have a moment to unwind in a fun, cool place ! There are plenty of long tables if you need to do work and study . The only negative thing that I would say is that they do not have outlets so that you can charge your electronic devices. Other than that one out of 100 we rate this place a 99!!!! The staff are exceptional and so kind. They are very appreciative and patient with each guest.

This place is amazing! Highly recommend. The atmosphere was relaxing and modern. The food was fresh and super flavorful. The staff was helpful and willing to explain items or make recommendations. The menu was diverse with something for everyone; from drinks to light snacks to full meals. The bowls were huge and flavorful. Making changes to the bowls was easy and not an issue. I will return when I am going through the area again.

This is my favorite cafe. I come here pretty often. Their bowls are absolutely amazing and very large portions. They’re drinks are well done as well. The Build Your Own Bowl is 15.95 and the Lagoon Lemonade is $4. The price is very reasonable given the quality. Their toasts aren’t as big in quantity but still high quality. The atmosphere is wonderful and the chairs are very comfy.

Passing through and looking for something gluten free. The best PB cookies we’ve ever had! Loved that the syrups were also house-made- it makes such a difference. Also super comfortable seating which was much needed after a long car ride!

Everything here is so yummy and fresh! The cherry matcha is the best drink I have ever had! I think about it all the time. I love the addition of tofu as a protein option on their bowls, too. Also, if you can snag a warm chocolate chip cookie, DO IT! So good!!!
The vibe in the restaurant is super fun and cozy. I went to one of their trivia nights and it was a blast! I have also gotten DoorDash (I told you, I need my cherry matcha!!) and I really appreciate the care they put into keeping the food safe/tamper-proof. The staff is upbeat and friendly. 🙂

Based on my first impression walking through the door, I was ready to love this restaurant. The atmosphere is perfect- modern, sleek industrial meets Lowell old mill architecture. Huge windows, gorgeous high ceilings. Everything was clean and visually appealing. The staff was friendly and the food was brought to the table with beautiful presentation using fresh ingredients. I was so excited to take the first bite!
Yikes, what a disappointment. I ordered a southwestern wrap and am left wondering if the people who are in charge of this menu item have ever been to southwest?? Never have I experienced anything labeled “southwest” to be this level of flavorless. Understand Dragonfly Cafe is a gluten free restaurant, but is it also salt-free? No herbs and spices? Plain eggs over unseasoned black bean paste and unsalted avocado- why?? Also I was unaware that roasted red peppers could taste so boring.
If you enjoy bland bites in a beautiful atmosphere, you will love this restaurant. Additionally, if you value gluten free over taste, this is probably your scene.
For those who enjoy fresh food with vibrant and complex flavors- I cannot recommend Dragonfly Cafe.

I stopped by Dragonfly Café this morning and was blown away by both the presentation and flavor of their food. I ordered the avocado toast, and honestly — it looked too pretty to eat! The toast was perfectly crisp, topped with creamy, fresh avocado spread, a light drizzle of house-made sauce, and finished with a sprinkle of vibrant microgreens that added both color and texture.
Every bite was balanced — the crunch of the bread, the smoothness of the avocado, and the tang of the sauce blended beautifully. You can tell they put thought into every detail, from the plating to the flavor harmony. It’s the kind of dish that makes you slow down and actually enjoy breakfast.
The café itself feels warm, modern, and inviting — a perfect spot for a quiet morning, a coffee date, or getting some work done while enjoying great food. You can really sense the care and creativity behind everything they serve.
If you’re near the area, Dragonfly Café is an absolute must-visit. Delicious, aesthetic, and full of good vibes — it’s the kind of place that turns a simple breakfast into an experience.

Life Alive + Capital One cafe vibes.
Came here for a quick breakfast on the patio, and it ended up being a solid find. It’s probably the only spot in this part of Lowell with a nice setup, and honestly, one of the only gentrified-feeling corners of the area. Inside, it’s spacious and inviting with plenty of couches and tables. For a relatively new café, prices were surprisingly reasonable.
We tried two of their toasts and the Uplifted Bowl. The bowl was the best thing we had here. It was very reminiscent of the warm grain bowls at Life Alive. Seasoned rice, raw cabbage and carrots, and that familiar peanut sauce combo.
The toasts, though, were underwhelming. Signature avocado toast was just smashed avocado on a piece of pretty mediocre toast. No acidity and heat (could barely feel the chili crunch). Tasted more like a hotel lobby version of avocado toast.
The Banana Toast was even less appetizing. Not sure if it was the cinnamon powder or just the heavy smear of peanut butter, but it was extremely dry. The honey and cinnamon probably pulled out even more moisture, turning the peanut butter into this thick, paste-like spread. The bananas helped a little, but I still ended up picking off the toppings and leaving the toast behind.
Still, if you’re in the area and looking for a spot to chill, get work done, or hang on a patio, this is one of the better options in Lowell. Just stick to the bowls.

The food and service at Dragonfly are excellent. They offer a fantastic gluten-free menu, and I’d honestly love to come back and try everything on it.
However, during my visit, there was a “free mic” style event happening, and unfortunately, one of the speakers began by telling the audience to leave if they felt uncomfortable with what she was about to share. That approach didn’t feel very welcoming or inclusive. I chose to stay and simply focus on my meal, but the atmosphere shifted noticeably.
This was my second time dining at Dragonfly, and I truly hope this was an isolated incident. I appreciate the space and the food, and I hope the management considers how to ensure a more inclusive and respectful environment for all guests moving forward.
