    Don't go on a cold day. Other patrons refused to get up after finishing their coffee leaving us to stand for 20 minutes waiting. We ended up taking our food to the movie theater to eat in the lobby

    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!
