I got an iced caramel latte with almond milk and an egg/cheese sandwhich oh my goodness so good, wish I could have it everyday!! Great place to study but a few downsides are no outlets (at least that I could find) so come with fully charged devices and it's a bit cold so bring a sweatshirt! read more

Updating my review from many years ago. I now work in the neighborhood and go to this think coffee frequently. The staff is nice, even if not terribly well informed, the wifi is consistent, and there are usually free seats. Most importantly, the coffee: In one word, espresso drinks are erratic. I have had exceptional cortados on occasion, and awful ones almost as frequently. I think the beans are outstanding, but some of the baristas are not well trained. Note, i reached out to management and expressed this feedback, making it clear i wasn't looking for anything free, but i never heard back, so not sure this place values their customers enough. Ps-i appreciate they have a rewards system now which i think they didnt used to. read more

1 star because of the dirty bathroom. I doubt a manager really comes here to even check on the place. Absolutely disgusting. Seriously, I came to study for one week straight, and the toilet has not been cleaned for 1 week (the part behind the seat). I refused to take a picture because I didn't want something on my phone that dirty. The coffee is expensive, place is loud, staff is unable to give larger cups (I ordered an Americano once and asked for a larger cup so I can have more water) because "everything is formulated into the price." The price is exorbitant for such a mediocre cup of coffee. read more

I came here to do a little work and I've never experienced such a horrible coffee shop before. People sit down at coffee shops to have meetings and do work. So naturally black eye peas blasting in the background is NOT conducive to that mood. I could barely hear my thoughts here, no clue how anyone was able to hear over the music for the too many meetings going on. To make matters worse, my soy latte tasted like water. As a coffee shop fanatic, this was an infuriating place to spend my time. read more

The never-ending exams, papers, projects have kept me busy all winter long and has me holed up in different coffee shops around the city. I find myself constantly checking my yelp app for coffee houses that are open late. Most of the Think Coffee locations are open late (at least until 11pm). I came here after 8pm on a weeknight and the place was filled, but it wasn't too crowded. There were a few open tables and I was able to find a nice table in the back. Too bad I sat next to women that kept talking about the "devil" creeping into their lives. And never mind the homeless man sleeping in the corner. The coffee is average and nothing really to rave about. I get the usual cafe au lait and then set to work on cramming useless statistical information into my head. I did find myself singing along to some Nirvana songs, and some Cure. Nothing like Cure to help absorb material on Kaplan-Meier curves and stupid hypothesis testing. This place is spacious by Manhattan standards and I like this location better than the one near Union Square. If you're looking to people watch, this ain't the place. Be prepared for mediocre coffee, but a great place to hide when you need to study! read more

Good place to go and get some work done. The interior is surprisingly spacious with plenty of room in the back, plenty of small tables, and a good mix of seating options. WiFi speed was fine, and the coffee was good. Bathroom was meh, and kind of inconvenient since there was only one for a decently-sized coffeeshop. read more

I've been a great fan of Think Coffee and it's co-office atmosphere. This was my first visit to their MePa location (most of the time I tend to slave at their soho location). First impressions, this place was bigger and brighter than its soho counterpart. Like the other location, you line up at the cashier and pick up at a separate counter. Offerings are the same in all the Think locations it seems (the food consist of various baked goods and grilled cheese sandwiches). I ordered a latte in a mug and a grilled cheese with cheddar and tomatoes (each additional toppings for the grilled cheese is extra). The coffee was alright and the grilled cheese was on point. However, the most important part of think coffee is the possibility to work continuously for hours and not get bothered. Of course don't be a dick and order a few more cups of coffee if you plan on chilling there for 5 hours. All in all, a great place to get your work done. A problem with Think? Their bathroom. Seriously, all their bathrooms stink. I really wish they could do something about it. If they could, they would be a 5/5 in my books! read more

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

If you're looking for a coffee shop with an abundance of seating with free wi-fi, even during the weekends, then Think Coffee is a good place to get work done. However, the coffee isn't amazing; it's just decent. We ordered the Cold Brew, but it tasted very watered down. There are a lot of tables and seats in the front and back of the shop. If you want to work in a quieter space, then sit in the back. The front can get noisy, because music blares from a speaker hanging near the entrance. The music is all over the place; it goes from 90's R&B to modern Rap/Hip-Hop to indie to rock. It can get distracting, but it is interesting to guess which genre will be played next. read more

Think Coffee is a mini-chain of coffee shops that you'll find around Manhattan. This is one of two locations I know of offhand. It was a sunny but chilly day and I had to walk to the East Side so I wanted a cup of coffee to keep me company. The interior of Think Coffee makes you feel like you've stepped into another time and place. Dark wood surrounds you. Moldings along the wall and the patterned ceiling give a very "old world" vibe. There's a small seating area in the front near the counter where orders are taken and drinks are prepared. Towards the back I saw a much larger seating area which I believe is more of the lunch/brunch section. Overall, there was a very comforting vibe to the place that I dug a lot. The line for coffee was understandably long (it was a Sunday morning after all). If you encounter a long line, prepare to be patient. Many of the drinks made here are prepared to order, especially their single origin coffees. This isn't Starbucks with a rapid and efficient ordering/drink creation system. In this rather chill atmosphere odds are the guy taking your order is the same one making your drink and taking care of your payment. I ordered the regular coffee blend, which includes their Ethiopian and Nicaraguan single origins. A counter near the door is where you'll find everything you need including sleeves and covers for the cup. With a bit of sugar and skim milk I was off. Interesting note: the tops they use for their cups are compostable, which I thought was really neat. The coffee itself was tasty. I definitely got some of the spicy and sweet notes mentioned in the descriptions of the single origin beans. The coffee had a dark, deep flavor to it (the way I prefer my brew). It was served hot, but not so hot that I burned my tongue off. I'd definitely go back to Think Coffee any time for a good brew. Worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

Service is extremely slow, waited fifteen minutes for a cup of hot tea. The place is a little old and run down. Not a very comfy coffeehouse to linger. read more

I think therefore I am! This place is new and oh so nice inside! Think Coffee took over this small little bakery that I liked last year. So lets talk coffee! Its awesome, great latte. Baked goods? Great looking pastries and biscotti. After you collect your drinks, there is a great big area in the back for lounging. If you needed to have an impromptu meeting at a place that costs a few bucks? My choice would be T.C. (free of any bucks...) Overall, a great place to stop for coffee before catching the A-C-E subway. See? All thought out.. read more

4-star cold brew at a 4-star place. Although not as rich as some, Think's cold brew is refreshing and sweet - great for a daily cup. Love the always-friendly staff, spacious cafe with plenty of seating, and phone number-linked rewards system. I do have to echo others about the lack of cleanliness but Think will always be a staple in my book! For the best cold brew in NYC, follow @nyccoldbrew on Instagram! read more

Crowd: Young, some hipsters and some non, people who need chargers for their phones/computers, mostly between 20 and 35, some older but barely Area: Large, a lot of space, crowded, music was properly loud (but not too loud,) reminds me of the back of a log cabin, homey Tea: Lapsang Souchong (solid, recommended) Snack: Fig bar (OK, semi-recommended as it was a bit pricy for the taste, it was the norm) Maybe it was my dead phone and that I stayed there for 3 hours on my computer but I like this place, recommended and right near a subway. read more

The Spanish latte is life! Staff is nice here. Coffee is good and they're thoughtful about the origin of their products. 10% of after-tax $$ go to a local org in Chelsea. The food options are plentiful and, from what I've had, tasty. The only downside is that there can be a bit of a wait. And I've seen some confusion with orders (luckily not mine). But, it's usually worth it. read more

I was in line at the Starbucks across the street when I saw this place. I didn't have to "think" twice...I got out of line and ran across the street and never looked back! I love the dark, woodsy feel of Think. My iced Americano was delicious. However, beware, this is a laptop parking lot. Don't bank on having an outlet to plug your 'puter in. read more

The overnight oats are amazing. The place is really great for studting. I barely see anyone who isn't. Amazing vegan options. 8/10 would study here again read more

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

This was a nice quiet coffee shop. My group was tired from a long day of walking and we holed up here for a few hours and enjoyed some hot beverages. We also broke out the scrabble tiles and played a few games. They also are very conciencious when it come to recycling and all their containers can be composted. read more

Nice establishment except usic was too loud to focus and there were no outlets to plug into. It was also uncomfortably warm inside. Recommend Rebel coffee a few blocks down. Plenty of outlets, and environment makes focusing and getting work done a lot easier. read more

Great coffee, better than average pastries, wonderful place to work, with wi-fi. And they also offer a rewards program which few coffee shops in NYC offer. read more

Lots of smarty entrepreneurs brainstorming and perusing their dreams (or plots). Great vibe. Bring your own power strip so you can ensure you can plug in. Since 50% of customers have a computer and 1-2 other gadgets to charge, the extra 5 outlets you add will make your Mr. Popular for the day. Decent wifi, high quality furniture and friendly staff make this the best sit-down/work/think coffee place in the area. read more

Points for the solid amount of seating which is hard to come by in nyc but I always end up using my hotspot on my phone bc the Wi-Fi is no good read more

Really loved this place pre-COVID. Went there for a coffee with my partner this morning. The food selection was very limited (scones and basic muffins but no fig bars and other great pastries that we used to enjoy) and the place lacked atmosphere. Is this place under new management? The barista was unable to give us any info and it seemed to be her first day on the job. Probably give it another try but will go to another Think Coffee instead. read more

I have gone to this Think Coffee a few times and my experiences have been mixed. My last experience was earlier this week when I decided to begin reading "The Sirens of Titan" over an Americano on what was a rather dreary, sullen Monday afternoon. I have gone into dozens of coffee shops in New York City and I have generally been rewarded with music conducive to maintaining a subtle, pleasant ambiance for patrons. For some reason, Think Coffee locations, particularly this one and the one on Mercer, seem intent on playing loud Rap and Hip Hop. While I generally do not mind these genres, I find them rather distracting and more of a hindrance than anything else when I am trying to focus on something or put my mind at ease. I am not saying they have to play Arcade Fire or Bright Eyes, but something that is not blasting profanities and loud background noise would be a decent start. Moreover, the service is hit or miss. That seems to be a Think Coffee consistency across Manhattan. read more

This place is better than the one by NYU, at least! It's difficult to get a seat, but I do like drinking out of their mugs! Free wifi, yay. read more

The coffee is decent. I like that they offer three single source blends freshly ground upon order. In NYC, it's too easy to buy good coffee, so atmosphere becomes another important factor for me. The ambiance here is nonchalant. The lights are dim making it a very easy place to relax. I also like that the wifi password is easily accessible. read more

I don't think so honey - Think Coffee - more like Think Again Coffee. I don't think so honey anyone patronizing this place. You be the judge...our party of four came in and three of us ordered, sat down, and were enjoying our drinks, when the front employee came over and asked for our COVID vaccine records and then told the person in our group he had to leave because he hadn't ordered anything. WTF. I think it was a classic case of ageism - as the employee then told us over our objections, that "seating is a privilege". I don't think so honey. Getting and retaining customers is a privilege and this place should NOT be in business with this rude employee. Join us across the street at Starbucks. I don't think so honey - Think Coffee. read more

This is a very spacious yet with an intimate feel organic hip music coffee shop scene... That's a mouth full. Try the vegan chai muffin, very delicious. Also, there's free WiFi, YES! read more

I was in the Meat Packing District with my cousin and she was in the mood for some coffee so we decided to come here. Outside there was a sign with a rainbow so we thought it would be a pretty welcoming coffee shop.. we thought WRONG! Little did we know we were entering a racist establishment! For starters, the girl at the counter was looking at us so wrong while my cousin was looking at the menu before placing her order. She ended up ordering a macchiato.. biggest mistake. It was difficult to even find a seat even though the back area is spacious because it was one person per table and they would spread all their belongings so there was nowhere to sit. So, we had to squeeze in a table to sit even though the people by us were not too happy. Then, she gets her macchiato and aside from being like $5 for a teeny tiny cup, it was disgusting! My cousin literally looks at me and says "that is the most disgusting thing I've ever drank" so I took a sip and it tasted so bad, and the after- taste was even worse! It tasted like the cheapest American black coffee without sugar or DIRT (if you were curious to know how it tasted). Also, she was surprised on how tiny the cup was and the worker spoke to her in the most condescending manner because of that. It was our first time so we obviously didn't know what to expect or anything? We were both nothing but nice to them, so we were surprised to be treated bad. The ladies working were white as well as all the customers there (at least that specific day). They were smiley, sweet, and patient to all the white customers yet we (being the only Latinas) get the dirty looks, rude tones, and terrible service. I hate to call other people racist, but I hate to be treated differently even more. And a message to the manager, or owner.. have a stricter selecting process when hiring the next time around! read more

This is a great think location! It's really huge which makes it stand out compared to some of my other go-to coffee shops in the area. Hunker down with free wifi and delicious drinks. Their brewed ice teas - black, mint and green, are all top notch. Most importantly, however, is the fact that they have gluten-free grilled cheese! Pick your cheese and add additional toppings - yuuuum I personally got a cheddar grilled cheese with ham on gluten free bread - it was delicious, melty and the bread was a pretty good size and quality for being GF! They even took the time to wipe down the panini press thoroughly when I asked about shared equipment. Definitely look forward to coming back here for a quick morning coffee, work time or a reasonable delicious grilled cheese for a lunchtime treat! read more

Nice hidden spot in west village, think coffee chain I general is a good place to meet friends and have a chill environment, this one is one of the better ones. Shout out to Noah a heavily pierced dude here who was super nice. read more

Awesome place to get work done. i didnt try their coffee but their green iced tea was great. Place is huge, plenty of seating. I didnt see many outlets, and also it can be loud. If you need a quiet place, like a library... well, go to a library. read more

Stop in for a quick cup of coffee. Nice soft lighting,fresh pastry's also offering breakfasts sandwiches and more. The coffee was fairly priced and the donut was from one of my favorite distributors. If I'm in the area I'd pass by again. read more

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

Here's a breakdown on my experience: Suboptimal flat white, weak espresso Drier in bathroom didn't work, no paper towels Expensive $10 egg sandwich that didn't taste good. Might have taken $0.75 to make. Really horrible music selection. Sounds like the basic playlist you'd hear at LaGuardia airport / TGI Friday's / Home Depot Plus: reliable Wifi read more

I love a coffee shop as much as the next guy, especially if they have make a good iced matcha latte with oatmilk. BUT I was here this past Saturday and saw not one but two cockroaches so now I may not go back, even for that coveted latte read more

Perhaps the largest coffee shop I've stepped foot in on this island. Plenty of comfortable space for work. From what I can tell they're very conscientious about where their coffee beans come from. For more details check out socialprojectcoffee.com Lots of options for food - another reason to stop in. Small Spanish latte was great and would definitely order again. read more

This coffee shop was recommended to me by many people. Naturally, I had high expectations! The coffee, space, and friendliness of employees all met them! In addition to great coffee, they had a wide selection of sandwiches and pastries to choose from. I didn't get to try any of them because I had come after a big meal but it looked tasty. Another huge plus to this location is the large seating area with spacious wooden desks to actually fit a whole laptop. The table even allow room for writing space even in addition to a laptop! It's hard to come across a good study space as many coffee shops only have tiny round tables. However, the temperature was a bit weird as it was hot the first hour and extremely cold the second hour. Overall great impression! Will be back. read more

Think Coffee - Large study/group chat space in the back - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Probably one of the worst in NYC. Bad service, bitter coffee, and no life to their vibe. Starbucks across the street is better.

Really good matcha latte and great options on the menu. Good location and lots of available seating. Laptops allowed as well.

Coffee was good. Restroom was extremely dirty. No place to hang your coat inside too.

I can't say enough about this place. Price wise it's online with NYC and the quality is quite good. I work,from here several days a week and the large space is great. I think largest coffee house in the city, a hidden gem with WiFi and lots of space. Problems: Avoid early morning when the girls from Notre Dame are there till 8AM. They're extremely loud, vulgar, cheating on work, bring food in from other establishments and never clean up after themselves. The French Club: An older group of French speakers seem to think they can walk in anytime and despite what might be happening dislodge people from their favorite table. This group is often disruptive and zero courtesy to those around them. One particular elderly woman is incredibly rude, often getting into verbal spats with people. Management really needs to curb these two groups in. The bathroom: OK, it's disgusting and the staff do try and keep ahead of it. With everything else perfect, it's a trade off. Really a great place for coffee. read more
