Last Saturday, we had breakfast at the Backwater Cafe. We had never eaten there before so it was an event for us.

The Backwater Cafe is located on the Flatriver in downtown Lowell. They serve breakfast and lunch six days a week.

Unlike most restaurants, the coffee cups do not match. That is because they have been purchased at garage sales or have been donated. The one that I had was from Corpus Cristi or at least that is what it said on the side. Kathy’s was a meadow scene.

Like most diners in the area, the Backwater Cafe offered a lot of home style food including a lot of bread and potatoes.

Good food, reasonable prices and a view of the river. Life is good.
