    Maybe the best espresso pulls in Boston. Rivals Simon's in Cambridge. And brewed from solid Stumptown beans.

    Hazelnut latte is totally unbeatable. Try at least once.

    Quality drinks, desserts and decor still don't make up for the fact that they make you put cream cheese on the bagel yourself.

    Don't waste your time here. Got a cold breakfast sandwich on the wrong bread. They do NOT have Wi-Fi! Wi-Why!? It's a coffee shop right in the middle of Boston with the word "thinking" in it's name!

    I got a tea and granola coffee cake slice which tasted like it was previously frozen or it was a couple days old. Total $6.90. I don't know about sandwiches, but I won't buy pastries from there.
