Crema's Take

“Thinking Cup is a beloved Boston institution that brilliantly balances quality coffee from Stumptown with an equally impressive bakery, earning consistent praise for both their phenomenal lattes and creative signature drinks like their standout strawberry-matcha blend. The space manages to be both a quick-grab destination and a cozy meeting spot, with a genuinely warm staff that keeps lines moving even on busy weekends, while the breakfast sandwiches and house-made pastries—think sweet potato walnut bread and perfectly executed breakfast burritos—rival the coffee itself. Located right across from Boston Commons, it's the kind of place visitors find themselves returning to every morning of their stay.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Wifi.

Definitely gets busy on weekends but it moves quick. Staff is so incredibly nice! We were visiting Boston for the weekend and the baked goods, coffee, and breakfast sandwiches were all amazing. Massive bonus for GF!

Amazing matcha!! I walked in and the place and food is astonishing! I got the strawberry-matcha ‘under special drink’ and a slice of the sweet potato walnut bread. I had a hard time deciding what to get because it all looked so good, I will definitely be back soon!

Bakery Coffee Bar is an absolute gem! I stopped in for a quick bite and ended up having one of the best casual meals I’ve had in a long time. The breakfast burrito was incredible — perfectly toasted on the outside, stuffed with fluffy eggs, melty cheese, crispy bacon, and just…
