I've always gotten the Ham and Cheese croissants, flakey puffy croissants with perfectly tasting and paired ham slices and cheese, and all the muffins are fresh and topped with sugar or crumbles. Coffee menu is standard but more than enough for me, without the California nouvelle experiments. I love soups and have tried their tomato, creamy and like my homemade, but it was refrigerated and had to be microwaved to reheat. Not bad but mine wasn't as steaming hot as I like from a fresh pot. It's busy most mornings, but tables and window seats open up quickly. Parking is easy and plentiful.

Ya know, I once navigated to this place on accident before? Yeah. Still not sure what my GPS was…read moredoing that day. Because I normally go to the one in Salem. But on this day, I thought to myself, "Self, I really hate making that busy-as-hell left turn on South Broadway in Salem. What if we took a journey to the Andover location instead?" And so it was. I enter this cozy little restaurant carefully tucked against a slightly submerged parking garage. Although, I probably shouldn't say "little" because the interior was noticeably larger than its Salem counterpart. It's also noisy AF in there when it gets busier than a New York subway. So naturally, I ordered my usual to-go (a Country Classic with an extra egg and hashbrowns for those who don't know). Only it wasn't *quite* ready on time. Which, to be fair, is kind of a minor point. Thing is, they have to shout your name whenever your order is finally ready. This in and of itself can prove to be quite the challenge when bellowing atop the already roaring crowd of customers impeding the otherwise accessible pickup shelves. I'll do my best to describe the interior since I wasn't really able to take pictures. But try to imagine an L-shaped dining area with the longest part hosting a row of countertop seats facing the windows. Beyond that sits a rather modest dining area with a few more tables. Next to that sits the gender neutral restrooms. It's strange and cramp, particularly when the place is packed tighter than a sardine can. Sufficed to say, I'm not much a fan of the interior design here. Being the partial recluse that I am, I offer the following best practice for a place so riotous: mobile order that shiz, cuh! Seriously. I had to put in my noise cancelling earbuds to appease my misophonia. The good news is....the food is still awesome. The eggs? Creamier than crème fraîche. Taters? Eh, I don't why...but these seemed way more seasoned the very first time I tried them. Fortunately, they actually pair rather well with their refined version of ketchup. The bacon? Well...let's just say I wish it were served well done. Not sure if I'm able to request that. But I'll scope out my options next time and get back to you all. That's it though. Nice place, WAY easier to get to than its Salem counterpart, but a bit too cramp and noisy for my taste which means....I'll likely ever dine in here. It's all good though, because I'm still giving Crack'd Kitchen & Coffee in Andover 4 Country Classics with all the fixins out of 5.

It's not just a coffee shop--it's a community hub where I always seem to run into neighbors and friends, which makes each visit even more special. The coffee is consistently delicious, and their homemade baked goods are a standout--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Their breakfast sandwiches are also amazing and always hit the spot. Whether you're stopping in for a quick coffee or staying to catch up with friends, True North Coffee delivers every time.

The baked goods were definitely the highlight, I loved everything I tried on the food side. I saw they have ice cream as well! The latte was not great, I think maybe it's a machine or something. The milk was not steamed or anything like that, so lattes are not their strong suit. Coffee and tea, however, looked great, I'll likely try those next.

Lulu's Lunchbox is hands down one of the best spots in the area for a quick, high-quality meal…read more Their coffee is excellent--smooth, rich, and made with ethically sourced, fair-trade beans. The lattes are especially good and always perfectly made. Their food is just as great. The chicken shawarma is my go-to for lunch--flavorful, fresh, and reasonably priced. But what really impressed me were the pastries. I once ordered a selection of cakes and pastries for a family birthday, and everything was beautifully made and absolutely delicious. The pistachio baklava was the highlight--so good that people were literally competing for the last piece. I used to live in this neighborhood a long time ago and have seen a lot of businesses come and go in this little corner of Ballardvale. Lulu's is easy to miss since it's near the train tracks, but it's absolutely worth finding. The family who runs it is incredibly kind and welcoming--once, I was late picking up an order because of traffic, and they stayed open just to make sure I got my food. That kind of service is rare. It's also great to finally have more diverse food options in the Andover area, and Lulu's Lunchbox is a fantastic addition. If you're looking for a spot with great coffee, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere, definitely check them out.

They also asked about folks family, how their move went, how their work was, ect in a way that shows not only do they truly care about their customers but their customers come back over and over. I can see why. Adorable little spot has it all figured out. Cute area with easy front door parking, tables inside and out, to go options and great food.
