They have a large menu of offerings both drink and food wise for both breakfast and lunch as well as many baked goods on display too. For those having a difficulty time making choices may struggle. I noticed their drink menu said to ask about seasonal specials and asked. I will say I was impressed the size of the list they had but was surprised the had "harvest specials" that all felt like Fall specials. I did end up grabbing an iced banana bread latte while my wife got their brown sugar shaken oat milk espresso. They were tasty drinks but not my absolute favorite of each drink I've ever had. The banana bread latte had a surprising amount of chunky banana purée in it. Food wise my wife and I both settled on getting The Southie; Egg white, Swiss, Avocado, Spinach, & Tomato. It was tasty and would be something I'd order again. Although, next time I would likely try one or two baked goods instead to give the bakery aspect more of a try. Even the red velvet cake slices looked delicious and tempting. Ambiance was a large and inviting space for those looking for grab and go as well as others looking to sit and enjoy or do some work. Variety of table seating and some window seat stools. A solid enough experience I recommend giving them a try for food and drinks!

Highly recommend checking it out if you want some good food.

As we walked in, we were met with the great aroma of coffee and baked goods. The place was very busy and there were a lot of staff moving around and customers having conversations or in line to order take out. We sat in a separate area downstairs and we were the only guests there. It was somewhat dark but it was private and there were bathrooms downstairs. We tried their tiramisu that was one of the bests I've ever tried. We also ordered their pistachio martini that was a super treat as it also had pistachio gelato. Their cappuccino made me want a second one. I am coming back to this place next time that I visit the North End!

Faint enough that it seems like the coffee grounds were used a few times... the rum cake was okay. It tasted commercially made. Unfortunate because I used to enjoy a coffee and pastry here.

She was making my drink. I just walked out leaving it there. I cannot believe what I saw. EDIT Based on Owner Response: So if you watched, you'd see me standing staring open mouthed watching through the blue glass, look around to see if anyone else was seeing what I was, then LEAVE WITHOUT THE DRINK I PAID FOR because of what I saw. I understand you're doing what you need to for your business, but don't try to make it seem like I imagined it. She blew her nose and used the napkin to clean up empty Yakult containers and wipe the counter down. She was not wearing gloves. Repeatedly touched her hair and face and was texting in between tasks.

Nice vibes and simple decor, I can see coming here to work sometimes if I lived nearby. I got the breakfast sandwich with scrambled eggs but on a croissant instead of the sourdough. The scrambled eggs were perfectly soft like I like them and not overcooked, and the croissant was so nice and buttery and flakey. I couldn't help myself and got a slice of the lemon poppyseed loaf too, and I couldn't believe how big of a slice they give you! I saved it for later and even though I didn't eat it until the next day, it still tasted great (even better warmed up!) The latte I got was a good quality too. We really enjoyed our food here and it's a local place worth checking out!

It makes it fun if you're sitting down. I've gotten food here before but I wouldn't say that their food is my favorite (although it is really good, I just like some other spots a bit more for breakfast). Their coffee is outstanding though. I myself rarely have just cold brew. I like a foam, I love a dessert drink. But their honey cinnamon cold brew....out of this world. It is my go to every time. I've tried their lattes and they are fine, but you're missing out if you don't try their cold brew. Their hot chocolate in the winter with the macadamia milk is also exceptional if you aren't a coffee person. The service is always pretty quick, while there might be a line it does move fast and they get drink orders out quickly. The staff is also always really nice and helpful. The price is on par with the neighborhood. Love thinking cup and have been back + will continue to go back many more times!

The salad bar didn't look appealing so I went with a bowl of chowder (which they were out of so I got a bowl of spicy soup). Tiny portion for the price. The orange juice was also overpriced. I guess they have a captive eating audience since there is limited food in the area and lots of businesses. Seating was hard to find. They closed very early which was surprising. I've had better food at other office park cafes and restaurants for better prices. Even if I was in the area again, I would search out other places to try.
