I had a disappointing experience with the male cashier and his female coworker. If customer service isn't something they enjoy, perhaps a different role would be a better fit. As a business owner myself, I'd advise that laughing at a new customer for asking where to put their cup is completely inappropriate. A better approach would be to help them instead of chuckling when they try to place the cup where it seems to belong. Also the latte wasn't great read more

This place needs to be renamed to Can't Think Here Coffee. There is so much noise starting first from the kitchen, then add the poor acoustics. Come here if you miss having a headache. read more

Stopped in yesterday with a friend on the spur of the moment (whatever that means) for a coffee and a pecan fig bar. Place was busy but staff was very friendly and they kept the line moving. They have a lot of seating but even more customers. Luckily we found a table just before they all got taken. Crowd other than us seemed to be heavily NYU students. My coffee was nice and strong and my pecan fig bar amazingly delicious. My buddy felt his Cortado was excellent. Great place! read more

Nice space and staff. Wait time to get my iced tea was way too long. And while the tea was good, not worth the price I paid. read more

Stopped by on an early Saturday afternoon to do some studying. I was worried I wouldn't find a spot to sit comfortably but was pleasantly surprised by how much seating there is. I ordered a hazelnut latte with oat milk. Pros: Lots of space Music isn't too loud Vibe is cool Cons: Latte was not worth the 7 bucks Bathroom door did not lock from the outside so beware of that Overall it was an okay spot to get some studying done but I'm not quick to run back here read more

Stopped in to try and to kill a bit of time. The matcha latte was good along with the pumpkin bread. The main deduction in score was the restroom condition. There were two however one was locked for employees and I can imagine why. If the condition of the one was any indication. I would be back for a grab and go just no lounging around. read more

This my friends is a day light robbery. I paid $7.50 for a 16 ounce (possibly less) for graham crackers coffee. It just tasted of milk and sugar. A great crime is being committed in the name of coffee here. The staff is polite other than that it doesn't deserve any stars read more

Good coffee. Very convenient place. Free WiFi, allowing work on laptops freely. Location is also great !

Think coffee could be great if it weren't so dirty. In my visit, there was trash on the floor, a used empty glass on the table for several hours, and the floor outlets were clogged with rust and dust and unusable. And the bathroom is another story on its own. Gross. The good: it's very spacious, probably one of the largest in the neighborhood. They offer beer and wine in addition to the usual coffee and pastries. read more

All I had was an espresso but they had a lot of pastry/food selections especially considering this is a tiny space. My barista was very friendly and helpful. I know this is a very "small sample size" but I got a really good feeling about this place. read more

Dirty, overpriced, prices are not displayed well and so the prices are sometimes a nasty surprise, sometimes gets order wrong. I am done. Back to Starbucks. read more

Think coffee has a decent amount of seating, although it does fill up quickly. I went here on a Sunday afternoon and got the Spanish Latte ($4.25). It was good coffee, but nothing special, and definitely not worth its price. They do have wifi, but I was disappointed with how slow it was. They seem to filter social media sites (making them load slower than usual) but they also weren't able to support the site that I listen to my class lectures on. It's utterly frustrating when you buy a tiny, over-priced coffee, and then can't even stay at the cafe and be productive. They have tons of students and young professionals who come here to get work done, so this was just absurd. read more

I came here around 8:30am to pick up a sweet treat before work. I'm a huge fan of banana muffins, so I decided on a banana walnut chocolate chip muffin. I thought that since it was early in the morning, the baked good would be fresh, soft, and delightful. Unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. It didn't taste very fresh, and was quite firm to the bite. It also wasn't warm. When I bite into a muffin, I like it to be soft, fluffy, and warm. The hot chocolate was good and quite rich. Overall, wasn't too impressed with my experience here, but the staff were kind and bubbly, and the interior was nice. read more

Think Coffee is located conveniently close to NYU's main "campus," which made it a supposedly good spot to get some coffee and work done while waiting for my sister to get out of class. After ordering a latte in the long mid-morning line, I hustled into a small corner table (which also housed a much needed outlet) right behind the coffee counter. It was a little crowded, especially when some guy decided to move his seat, computer, coffee and Calvin Klein briefs right in front of me. Yikes. Wifi was TERRIBLE. I had the worst time keeping a strong connection. Don't think you can use too much bandwidth here, so do what you can offline - I eventually used my phone as a hotspot so I could send some important work emails. Even so, I took my time sipping my latte in the busy and crowded coffee shop. There were a few pastry offerings available, as well as some other food options, so I picked up a chocolate croissant to accompany my latte. While it wasn't bad, I wish they could have heated it up - it just didn't seem to taste super fresh at room temp (slightly cold). Think Coffee is one of those places where I can grab a drink and snack to go, but not a recommended study spot, in my opinion, unless you're trying to avoid internet streaming. If I wanted a place with mediocre wifi and abundant wall outlets, I would have just gone to Starbucks (which is actually where I ended up after this). The only redeeming qualities are the solid espresso and somewhat chill atmosphere. But that's all you need in a coffee shop, really. Just don't advertise wifi if it's not dependable. read more

This is one of the few places around NYU where you can rest your laptop on a table in a cafe and work or meet with people- that alone merits 5 stars- but it gets even better from there. Sustainably minded packaging and socially minded coffee sourcing. True cold Brew. Locally made pastries and the best yeasty bagels only to be consumed by those who are not gluten sensitive, with thick cream cheese, Nutella, peanut butter, jelly, or butter. After 11am they start serving soups, grilled cheese, and other sandwiches. After 1pm, the wine bar and beer fridge open up. So, in one day, you could experience three different offerings only available at those times of day. If you arrive before 10am, you get best choice or spots. If you arrive after 1pm expect to hone your table stalking skills or get the courage to ask about sharing a larger spot. read more

My favorite coffee in Manhattan. I don't know what crack (other than caffeine) they put in their coffee but OH EM GEE it is BEYOND delicious. I find myself craving it almost daily, other lattes and cappuccinos just aren't the same to me anymore, as I am forevermore comparing them to the perfect creations I order at Think. Oh, did I mention their latte art is really pretty? Well, now you know. Also...hot chocolate, I think so. Sip and savor away. read more

I have loved and been a regular customer of Think for some years now. I am very upset though that you can no longer buy a small cup of tea and so a cup of tea is now more than $5!! I like my Earl Grey strong and so ask for the small cup and in fact bought the re-usable small cup and so am now paying more than $5!!! for a small cup of tea. . . .Tea drinkers unite! This is ridiculous!! read more

And the scorching summer heat plagued on and on... Immediately following my open-mic poetry reading at nearby Yippie Museum Cafe, this lemon sherbet venture to rehydrate for iced tea. One small iced tea at $1.85 and a chocolate chip cookie (automatically embedded with nuts) at $2.25 suit my budget but not the taste. The correct address is 250 Mercer Street, NOT 248 Mercer Street. Upon payment my order was served without a lid and the chocolate chip cookie was in a small, single sheet of waxed tissue paper... ayiha, talk about misery in this ailing economy! Competitor Starbucks always serve all beverages (either hot or cold) with lids and all pastries are secured in a pastry bag, not in a small sheet of waxed tissue paper. Patrons cap their own lids on coffee cups and iced tea cups at a condiment station. No, Think Coffee does not plug the hole in any beverage as PB still cannot plug the hole in the Gulf Coast from the Deepwater Horizon explosion leaving an open invitation to gush oil freely. Think DIY as if serving their own coffee or tea at a workplace canteen or kitchen, ICK! read more

Think Coffee - 250 Mercer Street New York, NY - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

A good place to study given the spacious area with plenty of tables and seats. Only problem is when I was there at least none of the outlets were working so make sure to come with fully charged electronics if you're planning to do work here for awhile. I got their coffee which was decent. Overall, decent coffee and good study vibes. read more

Real coffee, real capuccino, it's so delicious! Baked goods not my favorite sometimes it's a little too much vegan and not enough taste, the muffins are a bit hard! But it was nice to sit outside in the sun for a few minutes and feel normal for a second. read more

Good coffee and decent ambiance! It was Christmas week so they were doing there best ti keep the place together! Cortado was delicious

Think Coffee - Iced Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

A haven for those who want to "get stuff done" and also for those just looking to get some quality people watching in. Last time I spent a good part of an hour watching the colorful character next to me commandeer the shop's honey bottle and then drizzle it over an entire loaf of bread which he proceeded to devour slice by slice. Quality entertainment (she said without a hint of irony). I'm the rare breed who adores coffee shops but hates coffee, so I can't speak to the primary wares they peddle here. They make a mean iced tea, though. And a killer grilled cheese (but they'd earn that 5th star if they got closer to serving the cheesy goodness all the way up until closing time rather than just letting the lingering aroma taunt those burning the almost-midnight oil). It's a lot bigger than it looks from street level, and there are lots of tables to be had. They also get mad props for their in-store nod to local legend Dan "Will Teach You Guitar" Smith - keep your eyes peeled! read more

Decent place with plenty of tables to lounge, albeit being busy and loud inside. I opted for a hot chocolate which was made relatively quickly. It wasn't amazing and didn't have a decadent, rich chocolate flavor I was hoping for, but it did the job. read more

Pistachio latte + vegan chai tea latte muffin/vegan pb crumb are all my go-tos. A lot of coffee chats going on especially in the morning but plenty of space to do your cute little individual study time. The entire setup, brick wall, elevated study area, couches, bar tops - varied comfort spaces that you can choose! Very fast service so completely satisfied especially if you're tight on time! It's on my way to Paulson or Paulson to Bobst so a great location to grab a snack or pick-me-up energy drink. Like I see so many people going here for breakfast for morning classes so thank you Think Coffee. Also, Think Coffee is fitting to do reading highlighting/writing/language based work/writing notes/reflective work -- don't ask me why it just worked every time! read more

Think Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

A spacious cafe with tons of seating options! It is a bit louder here because there's so many people, but it often isnt too difficult to find seating. The day I went, there was a private event around 6PM so it definitely got super loud then. Their cold brew was a bit too weak for my taste, but their americano was dark and strong (I love my black coffee bitter and dark). Overall, good place to sit and get work done! read more

The music has gotten so loud, making it really hard to work and study here (even with earplugs--it's still loud). I used to come here all the time but have a hard time working here now. The staff is nice. read more

This is one of my go-to coffee spots in the city. I've liked pretty much any drink I've ever tried here: cold brew, lattes, and green tea lattes are all classics that get the job done. There is a lot of seating here, and while some people camp out, you normally don't have to wait more than a few minutes for someone to get up. All of their cups are compostable or recyclable which is really lovely. This place is definitely a little more expensive than Dunks or Starbucks, but the drinks here are stronger and their mission is pretty lovely. read more

I've been wanting to try Think Coffee and I finally decided to check it out last weekend. We ordered a Spanish Latte and a hot chocolate because it is starting to get chilly outside. This location is huge with lots of seating. It is perfect if you are with a group or if you are solo and need to get work done. The customer service is on point! I also liked chalkboard signs in the coffee shop. The Spanish Latte and Hot Chocolate was delicious but not the best. I would definitely visit Think Coffee again! read more

Pros: - Amazing amount of seating - Natural light in front seating area - Good wifi - Nice service I ordered an oat chai latte and was not a huge fan. I watched the barista make my drink and it appears their chai is a generic concentrate that they buy. It's a very spicy chai and a bit sweet, but I was not a fan and would not order again. I would come back to try out their coffees if I needed a place to sit with friends. read more

Although I tried to live healthily by minimizing caffeine and sugar in my diet, there are mornings I just can't function properly without those two substances!! I decided to go to Think Coffee this morning to grab a cup of coffee for my long day. As usual, I have an almond latte (I think it has become a benchmark drink for me) and an almond croissant (just because why not). I intended to take away but Think Coffee's coziness lured me to stay for a while. The coffee was one of the best I've had. The coffee was strong and smelled great;the almond milk foam was extremely creamy. However, the almond croissant could be better. I liked the taste but not the texture. It was served cold and was too dense for my liking. I wish it were more airy and flaky. I think Think Coffee is a great study spot. The ambiance is very tranquil as people mainly go here alone for work. The drinks are not cheap but if you factor in the hours you stay to work then it becomes reasonable. I guess I'll study here instead of in NYU's crowded study spots from now on. read more
