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!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Bitsy O.Dallas, TX10492511299Dec 11, 2023
A little late on this review from the Boston trip, but I wanted to follow a terrible experience with a positive one, and Thinking Cup mornings linger in my brain.
Was there a Starbucks in our hotel? Yes. But no one was rushing and life is too short for corporate coffee.
We ducked in here out of the rain on a cold mid-morning. It wasn't packed and it looked like a local's spot, people were settled in.
A group of (I assume) retired men in the corner having a spirited catch-up. Accents abound (love that). A barista wearing a Nosferatu shirt. It's the little things, y'all.
I hate when people say anything is a vibe but I will and it was. Is Cozy AF a thing? Old newspaper/historical decor and calming colors juxtaposed with the huge board of gluten-free offerings (to me GF is more now than then). To be fair, the list was written on a chalkboard which worked well. Non-robotic friendly staff for the win.
They have a great menu to suit any taste. Plus, their own pastry chef and house made syrups!
For me, always a keto latte and they do it well. We had breakfast sandwiches once and they hit the spot. Each time we stayed longer than we planned.
Apparently during one visit, I'd purchased a large peanut butter chocolate rice krispie treat. Found it in my bag at about 3AM after a night out. It was amazing and I will never forget it.
Thanks for the memories, Thinking Cup. You live up to your name ;)Helpful 38Thanks 7Love this 33Oh no 0 - 36114223Jan 27, 2024

Get the Quiche!
Cute place, nice people, great coffee, the best quiche I've ever hadHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dec 13, 2023
What a cute and quant coffee shop that offers a variety of coffee and drink offerings. They have a really long dinig area that cannot be noticed just by looking at the front of the establishment. The service is amazing and really gets to know you. I came in during lunch on a Wednesday afternoon and it was packed. The dining crowd was diverse, from young to old, singles studying to groups laughing it out over a coffee. The sandwiches they offer looked delicious and something I have to try next time

I loved my quick visit to the Thinking Cup! As my husband and I were visiting historic sights along the freedom trail, we needed somewhere to stop for a quick caffeine boost and to get some work done- Thinking Cup was exactly what we needed!
I ordered a Honey Cinnamon latte, which was both beautiful and so good that it converted my usually coffee-hating husband. Service was fast and so friendly - our barista was super sweet and I enjoyed chatting with her for a few minutes.
The shop itself is quiet and peaceful, enabling us to and get some remote work done before heading back out. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Boston.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Ricky C.Chinatown, Boston, MA806496Mar 28, 2024
Really cute place, drinks aren't as sweet or strong caffeine wise. Food is pretty good, it gives me Panera bread leveled up vibes for food. Just wish there was wifi!
