Thinking Cup

5/5 - absolutely loved! I am picky with my coffee, especially cold brew and syrups, but decided to try the cold brew with honey cinnamon and it was SO GOOD. Light and full of flavor. Just perfect. I got a lemon poppyseed scone and it was the best scone I ever had. Not dry at all and so delicious. Staff was nice and quick.

Cute no complaints I just don't give 5 stars unless a true walk on water experience.In Boston as a tourist and I just picked a random spot.....not a chain.Small with limited seating but I didn't have trouble with dining in for breakfast. Lots of yummy pastries. Responsibly sourced options. I had the veggie quiche with coffee. It was served on an actual plate with an actual coffee mug and they even had REAL cream . Everything was good.....I remembered to take a picture. The gentleman who waited on me was helpful and polite. Dunkin' Donuts and McDonalds are on the same block. Treat yourself to some better quality food.

This was my first time trying the "Thinking Cup" chain in the Boston city. I was not very impressed. I ordered an iced latte with extra milk, and when I got my order I was not satisfied with the amount of milk. My coffee was very dark, and I politely told the barista that it was not exactly what I had ordered. She asked me what I ordered, and after I explained she stood there staring at my drink and didn't offer to remake it. I said it was okay but was a little surprised. She then pointed at the table across the room with to the stand with the cream/milk and told me to do it myself. I am a very understanding customer, but it was a bit surprising. It's not my favorite situation when I have to make my own drink at a cafe :(

In the North End, there are options other than Italian for the residents. The Chinese takeout spot, China House, closed in 2022, leaving Billy Tse to feed the appetite within their borders.Across the street from where Cambodian sandwich shop Suasday, which opened mid 2022, once stood lies local coffee chain and purveyor of Portland, Oregon based Stumptown Coffee, Thinking Cup.It is a handicap accessible storefront, more deep than wide, with available seating throughout.Those having pre-ordered may head out back to see if it is ready and waiting. But otherwise it will be a tempting walk past the pastry case to get to those who are ready to take your order.Not everything available on site can be ordered via Square (https://thinking-cup-hanover.square.site/), for instance, I spied cannoli shells in a glass jar on the counter, terrific looking berries bread pudding and colorful macarons in the case, which were sadly not listed on Square.We have, however, sampled a number of their offerings over several visits.We found that we preferred the thick whole wheat chocolate chip cookies over the sea salt chocolate chip, primarily because we found it a bit less sweet. The peanut butter cookies are good. The eclairs were huge and light. Their blueberry cornmeal cake was soft and tasty. The ham and cheese brioche was light in bread and in ham - the ham bits were studded lightly within - fine for me with its light savory flavor profile, but perhaps disappointing to a true carnivore. My favorite so far is their light and generously topped fruit tart, 4 inch in diameter with a tender crust and their almond croissant.***Their heirloom tomatoes crostada was a fine savory option with surprise corn kernels tucked in. While their berries bread pudding was a fine moist eggy treat, yet surprisingly light.

This chain served up a robust cup of coffee with a nice selection of baked goods. They also had beans from one of my favorite roasters. A long shop with lots of seating but it can get a bit loud. With only window on one end there is not much natural light.

A staple in the North end. The coffee is magnificent and the quiche is to die for. Good morning! Ambience is Rustic inside and service is fast even when busy.

Delicious food as always. Fast and friendly service. Lovely ambiance to enjoy a pastry and cappuccino.

My mother and I stopped here for a quick breakfast before heading back to CT. They have a variety of pastries, breakfast sandwiches and gluten free options. I went with an iced latte, BALT sandwich, berry financier and tiramisu. Mom went with a latte and Smoking Jamaican breakfast sandwich. We both enjoyed our sandwiches, lattes and tiramisu. The berry financier was a little dense but pretty good. Overall service and food were good. We enjoyed it, and I would check them out again.

This coffee shop is ADORABLE! What a perfect stop for a hot cup of coffee on a cold day. The inside was very clean and there were plenty of tables to sit at while we had our drinks. The service was very quick and the staff was friendly.I got a hot vanilla latte with oatmilk and it was DELICIOUS. One of the better special coffee drinks I've had in a while. My friend got an iced matcha latte with soy milk, which was very earthy. I'm not a huge fan of matcha, but if you enjoy matcha drinks that aren't very sweet I would definitely recommend getting one from here. I will be going again next time I'm in Boston!

Great food and drink options. We had simple oatmeal and pastries. Service was good. The big negative for us: the lids on the cold drink cups were pretty darn leaky and spilled whenever you sipped. Maybe we just had a few bad lids....? Inside was cozy and moderately clean.
