Thinking Cup — Restaurant in Boston

I ordered a matcha latte with whole milk, which I received quickly in about 2 minutes at lunchtime on a weekday. It was frothy, smooth, not bitter at all, and just mildly sweet from the milk. The only thing that could have made it better was if they did latte art; it surprised me and disappointed me that there wasn't any, but it isn't a dealbreaker since it's just aesthetics.

I also enjoyed the Smoking Jamaican sandwich, which took about 8 minutes to make. It was flavorful with roasted red and yellow peppers and Havarti cheese. It was spicy from pickled jalapeños and sweet at the same time from the mango chutney. The multigrain bread was also nicely pressed to add a light crunch.

There was also a small selection of macarons, but they were out of pistachio so I tried a chocolate macaron. The shell had a light crisp, and the filling was soft and moist, but it was much too sweet for me.

It is a very crowded place, but there is extra space in the back with about a dozen tables and leather bench seating along the walls.  While dining in, I saw a cleaner wipe all the tables, so they take care to keep the place very clean. I had little to no cell reception in the back room and I didn't see any available public WiFi networks from the cafe.

Tip for first-timers who may miss the menu: It is behind you when you face the baked goods or the registers. It is in front of you when you enter, but you're also navigating steps and crowds that I completely missed it and had to ask if...

UPDATE: the location on Tremont st is a very great location, it’s a bit less prestigious as the location on Newberry st. as to be understood so there is so judgement there but I do appreciate the more welcoming feel this location provides. It’s been a few months since I went but their barista David was very kind and perfected a mocha. I stayed in Boston for 7 weeks and this cafe became my morning go-to. I really love that they don’t charge extra for GF bread either, it’s very welcoming to not have to pay extra for having an allergy :) The seating and ambiance is very comfortable as well, there is many places to sit. Thank you to the owner for opening up such a wonderful place to enjoy a cup of coffee. (Old Review) This place had really good coffee and a pleasant amount of foam. I got the B.A.L.T sandwich which satisfied my taste buds impeccably, the bacon was thick cut and cooked to perfection. I paired the sandwich with an oat milk iced mocha that was perfectly blended. I enjoy a G.F tiramisu and a few other GF things they had in their cabinet. The only thing that could use some work was the customer service from the barista. I understand it being difficult with things now behind the counter but it be nice for think about the grass on...

If you are in Boston and love great coffee, Thinking Cup is a must-visit. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was amazing. It was crowded, and now I completely understand why. The coffee was absolutely phenomenal, truly one of the best cups I have ever had in my life. Rich, smooth, and full of flavor. You can feel the care and passion they put into every cup.

The pastries were just as impressive. I had the raspberry cheesecake, and it was so good that I ate it slowly to enjoy every bite as much as possible. It was pure perfection.

The service made the experience even better. I was welcomed by a petite Colombian girl at the register who was incredibly friendly and kind. I had picked a dessert that was not exactly my style, even though it was very well made. She immediately spoke with a manager and helped me exchange it for another option. The replacement dessert was absolutely delicious.

Everything about Thinking Cup feels genuine, from the outstanding quality of the coffee to the warm, personal attention from the staff. It is easy to see why this place is so popular. I will definitely be coming back the next time I am in Boston. Highly...
