Thinking Cup

Really cute spot! Definitely gets crowded fast, but if you snag a table it’s a good spot to sit and enjoy coffee. I tried the brown sugar cardamom latte and liked it a lot. The cardamom flavor was very subtle and the brown sugar made it perfectly sweet.

Stopped here to warm up on our walk through Boston’s North End. Although there are several locations throughout the city, this one felt like a local hangout, much less industrial in decor than your typical Starbuck’s or Pete’s, and featuring a plethora of tasty-looking baked goods. They also offered a variety of teas, which come served as bags steeped in personal teapots with accompanying cups and saucers. The herbal tea I ordered was quite good, and I enjoyed being able to pour out several cups that were still piping hot, one after the other.

I was here 11 years ago with my husband. I immediately fell in love. This time around I brought my two adult sons. The food was amazing! The coffees were top notch. I don't know if I'll ever get to go back again - so thanks for the fond memories of a lovely coffee shop!

Great place, nice and warm, larger than expected once you’re inside. Large variety of food, baked goods and coffee. Good place to meet a friend or get work done.

Has the feel of a real Italian Bar, minus the stand up counter for your morning cappuccino. Great coffees, a wide selection of pastries with several gluten free options!! Super comfortable inside with plenty of seating. Friendly service, reasonable prices, and right in the heart of The North End on Hanover. Mornings are better on Hanover but have seen this place can get busy.

Very vibey coffee shop. Stumbled across this spot while on a morning walk - and was so glad I did. Warm, welcoming, beautiful display cases, and lots of drink options. I tried the turmeric latte - fabulous - and really wished I hadn't gone to another bakery first. Such a nice spot to sit and sip!

Great and very friendly staff. Karina took our order and was very attentive. Dustin made the drink order and it was great. I had an iced matcha Its a pretty big spot, if you are Boston it's a must stop!

I thought my latte was great, and the decor and atmosphere here is beautiful, and fits the North End vibes. The pastries however didn’t do it for me. They werent bad in any sense of the word, but with the local competition, I would say the next time I visit I will probably grab a latte, hang out, and go grab dessert elsewhere. I still have ridiculous love for you all though.
