I got a small milk hot chocolate and it was very tasty! It was rich and decadent, but still had a good amount of sweetness. I also thought it was the perfect balance of being thick and still drinkable. If I lived in Boston, I would be frequenting this shop especially during the winter.

It definitely has a lethal amount of sugar. I must admit it's very aromatic, but I can only eat half a chip at most. Perhaps it would be better with an iced drink.

Service was helpful and kind. We asked for pasta recommendations, and our server recommended the tagliotelle. The food was delicious! The scallop sauce had unique citrusy flavors, the seared halibut had a yummy squash sauce, and the pasta had scrumptious balsamic flavoring. Great job with the presentation of the food as well. The cannolis were complimentary. Sticky sweet crust with a slight tangy custard filling. Cocktail drinks were also great. Thanks!

Every one was delicious with well balanced flavors. We arrived on time for our reservation, but our table wasn't ready until 15 minutes later. We were sat by the bar to order drinks while we waited. At our table we had an issue with our server, who tampered with our beverages without asking us after they had been delivered by the bartender. When we expressed our dissatisfaction to the floor manager they were very accommodating and our new server was very lovely and respectful. The food was underwhelming. We ordered the focaccia to start, the tagliatelle pasta for primi, and the swordfish for secondi; everything was extremely dry. The focaccia seemed to have been dried out in an oven after baking, ultimately leaving it stale. The pasta was rather tudgy and the cream sauce on it congealed very quickly. The sauce on the swordfish was too thin to compensate for how dense and thoroughly cooked the filet was. Ultimately a fine evening, but not a place I would recommend for dinner. Come for drinks and sit at the bar, since the dining room gets quite loud making it difficult to talk with your party if sat across a table.

I will warn you: Don't think of this as a healthy alternative. Yes, it is dairy free, but it is absolutely loaded with fat sugar. Go for deliciousness...not for health.

The vegetable frittata was delicious--fresh, satisfying, and a perfect light breakfast. We also shared a scone with fruit jam, which was very well made. Scones are highly subjective, but this one was exactly the style I enjoy: flavorful without being overly sweet. I didn't try the coffee myself, but my partner really enjoyed hers, which isn't surprising given Thinking Cup's reputation as one of Boston's standout coffee shops. Between the welcoming atmosphere, quality food, and excellent location on Newbury Street, I'd definitely return the next time I'm in Boston.
