The folks who own and run Cote’s have done an excellent job maintaining its traditional Lowell’s Canadian French foods, heritage & charm. The Pork Scrap, Tortier (pork), salmon & Chicken pies, beans & brown bread are great and taste like I remember. You guys are awesome!!
100 year old local landmark known mainly for their light and dark beans as well as many other French-Canadian foods. Old-school grocery store atmosphere with friendly staff.
This place has been a family tradition on Saturdays in my husband's & my family 4 generations. The beans & pies R always hot, fresh & amazing & the service is always friendly & they always treat you like family. We love this place. It's so sad there are selling. If we could we would buy it in a heartbeat & keep the tradition going for more generation's to come. You will never find a down home family ran store like this ever again.
One of Lowell's true treasures, if you're a fan of baked beans, these set the standard that all others are measured by and the beans pair great with the delicious pork pies. The flavors in Cote's beans remind me of Lowell’s vibrant mill heritage and they make me reminisce warm memories of times as a child I spent in Lowell with my family and friends. My dad has been gone for a time now; he grew up in Lowell on Mammoth Road, became a productive part of the community and ran a very successful business in the area. He shared his heritage of growing up during the times when the mills were the bloodline of the community. Sitting here enjoying the beans brings me back to the age when I was in grade school and my father would take me to Rochette's Diner, where they served Cote's Beans and it was weird as a kid that I loved the beans even more than the great french-fries they served. Or eating at one of the many dinners that served their beans after a night at the Golden Gloves when I was in my teens. Before I wrote this review I spent a few minutes looking up the history of Cote's, I can remember it as far back as I can remember; so I wasn't surprised to find out Cote's was started back in 1902 and that for 105 years four generations a hardworking family has been serving delicious food. They are a cherished part of the community.
Excellent staple in Lowell!!! I have gone here easily over 100 times over the years for Stuffed Peppers, Many different Soups Incl. Chili, and Grape nut Pudding. The staff has the classic family vibe and welcomes every customer through the door as if they have been customers for years. The back of the store has delicious food made up and gives you a variety of food options to choose from - many you won't find anywhere else.
