Think Coffee New York Reviews
Simple flat white Good selection of baking goods including gluten free
Great place to sit and work, the only down part is that they don’t have any plug points in the entire row at the end.
I stayed here for hours. Wifi took forever to stay connected, like eventually, it might depend on where you sit. Did overhear barista tell to another customer that best place to stay is the inner part when she asked. I forgot my baristas name but I'm glad she paid attention to details because I forgot to mention my milk preference
A five star coffee experience every time! The service is fast, the coffee is fabulous, and the place is very well managed. Not to mention Nellie and Tootie are the absolute best, always greeting customers with positive energy. A 10/10 experience every time.
Update: 9/5/23 - the wifi still often does work here. Good vibe, but can get crowded because it's near NYU. In summary, Think Coffee on Mercer Street in NY is a great cafe with a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Their coffee is delicious and their food options are appealing. The staff is friendly and attentive. Highly recommend trying it out!
Pretty good spot! Prices are okay and the food is well prepared. I really like their quiche and their oat milk lattes. Two complaints: 1) not enough comfortable seating 2) not even close to enough plugs in this place. If you want to come work here, make sure your laptop is fully charged.
Cool place with a large space, which makes the task of finding a free table super easy. Many people come here to work on their computers and it still feels very airy, quite and welcoming. But the sitting area inside is very dark and the coffee got a score of 8 out of 10 from my friends.
Beware! The chocolate chip cookies are not good do not fall for the hype. They are more sugary than buttery or vanillay. and the chocolate tastes like medium grade milk chocolate :/ atmosphere and service was nice
This is disgusting!!! The dirties restroom I’ve ever seen. Do workers use the same restroom to wash their hands before they serve the clients??? Looks like this place never been cleaned. Even the door handle was dirty and sticky. Employees touch this door handle and then they touch our coffee cups. I almost vomited. Who is managing this place?!?! Never going back to this place again!
Terribly slow service. Yapping at the bar all morning long, meanwhile several drink orders piled up. If you have all morning to wait for a coffee, only for it to taste sour/bitter due to no dialing in of the machine, this is the place for you! Don’t come here if you expect quick and quality service. Staff is mostly polite, but no sense of urgency and need proper training on dialing in an espresso machine. Staff talking about being hung over after the Super Bowl, walking to the kitchen with other employees to chat instead of making drinks with proper technique. Bitter bean water served. Gave a it a few tries but there are much better shops in the area.
The baristas watched laughing as a dog JUMPED UP on the counter. They also then pet it multiple times and did not wash their hands after. I frequently go to this location but as someone with a dog allergy and who cares about basic hygiene, I will not be going to this location again. Disgusting.
This Think Coffee location is not a place where straight-haired staff (of any hue) welcomes dark-skinned women with "nappy" hair, as my phenotype automatically deems me unattractive. It saddens me that in the twenty-first century, numerous companies do not understand that treating darker-skinned women with non-straight hair as human beings, versus criminals, will bring in more profits. If this company continues to value colorism and misogynoir, they will continue losing revenue they could have gained from humanizing women of my particular phenotype. Management does not exhibit empathy and compassion (a hostile and manipulative response I received via email clearly showed this), which automatically tells me every individual on their team has not processed any trauma, as-ault, ab-se, rage, hurt, pain or invalidation they've experienced as children and/or adults. When individuals - be they baristas, managers or CEOs - have done the emotionally challenging work of processing their private pain (versus denying it like billions of humans do every day), it will show in their values, in their hospitality and in their compassionate response to incidents. I wish their humanity the best.
Man who took my order was so rude! The board says non dairy milk so I asked if they had almond milk which isn’t 100% given before I presumed. He scoffed. So then I ordered al almond milk cappuccino and I received a latte. Not worth $7! But really Atticus to ask. Find a new profession.
Very rude staff. Went to the washroom first before ordering a coffee. Later When i went up to order, the old Asian guy rudely Yelled at us that we should BUY something first BEFORE I am allowed to use their washroom. Been a customer before. Won’t be going back. Very bad service. And their bathrooms are gross and no toilet paper. Bring your own toilet paper. If he kept his mouth shut, I would have bought a drink for my Partner and I.
I don’t leave many one star reviews, but whoever says Think coffee is obviously thinking of a better coffee place than this The place smells like it belongs in a hospice care. The food sucks. The coffee is ultra burnt terrible terrible experience.
THE MAN didn't even say hi to me when I came in, and he had a racist attitude, I don't know what right you have to have that kind of attitude. He also just threw change coins on the table and I had to pick them up one by one. The drip coffee tastes terrible. I very much regret taking time out of my precious vacation to visit this place.
