Thinking Cup

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF options especially the Blueberry Donut was amazing, thank you!

Love this place...loved it before celiac diagnosis and never been disappointed with their gf offerings. Try the chocolate chip cookie.

They had a gluten free key lime pie that really hit the spot when I stopped in on a hot day, and I didn't have a reaction or any problems. Very happy with the coffee and the service too.

Had the sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and it was warm and delicious ! They asked if I had an allergy or preference so they prepare it differently with an allergy. Also got the lemon blueberry donut and it was really good !

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Separate gluten free menu. Gluten free bread and wraps available. Waitress asked if I had an allergy or not. Recommended.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Sooo good and so many gf options!

Celiac friendly?

No

I asked questions about my grilled cheese and they assured me they take precautions to avoid cross contamination. My food took longer to make, so I was reassured that I’d be fine, but ended up VERY sick. It was definitely GF bread, but there must be cross contamination occurring in their kitchen.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Picked up GF tiramisu and neopolitan to go. Tasty desserts and no celiac issues (there were non GF items in the case on lower shelves).

Egg bacon and cheese sandwich on gf toast was delish

Celiac friendly?

No

They use the same toaster for their gluten free foods. We left without eating anything.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

It took longer to make my food because of the gluten issue- a good sign in my book. Sandwich was good and tested negative for gluten on my Nima.

Celiac friendly?

No

I asked them about their cross contamination practices for grilled cheese. The sandwiches are prepared and cooked on the same surfaces. We didn't even stay

Great options, have GF bread along with lots of treats. Everything is labeled very well. Even GF and vegan options

You can eat every sandwich glutenfree. They also have glutenfree cake and many more sweets.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love the sandwiches here. They use gf bread and always ask if it’s an allergy or a preference. I have been there several times and have never had a problem.

Celiac friendly?

No

The first time I went to the thinking cup I got a gf sandwich and donut and had no issues. The second time, however, I had a REALLY bad reaction to the tiramisu, which I was assured was gluten free and was listed as gf on their menu. Not sure if it was cross contaminated during baking or during serving, or if it just straight up contains gluten, but I might as well have had a slice of white bread, for the reaction I had.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best gluten free desserts! Have never gotten sick eating here and usually stop by multiple times a week!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Nice coffee shop with good dessert and sandwich options for GF diners. We had the cocoa pebbles donuts for breakfast as I didn’t see any other gf breakfast options, but the sandwiches looked delicious. Didn’t have any negative gluten issues in my experience.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great gf options! Any sandwich on gf bread, various gf baked goods depending on the day! Chocolate chip cookie isn't bad, blueberry donut is great! Staff verifies if it is an allergy or preference to ensure safety!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Knowledgeable staff. All sandwiches could be made on GF bread

Really good food and coffee. Stumptown coffee is delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious blueberry donut and gf blt

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good gluten free options for breakfast and dessert.

Excellent sandwiches and delicious chocolate chip cookie! Full of flavor.

Yummy choc chip cookies and delicious grilled cheese and ham sandwich - read someone else's review and had to have too. Wish we'd found earlier in our Boston stay

Celiac friendly?

No

Uses the same toaster to toast regular bread and GF bread. The cashier didn't seem to think that would be an issue. Asked for the bread not toasted, and the guy preparing was preparing all regular sandwiches at the same time as GF.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Absolutely delicious!!! Gluten free white bread that you could probably do with any sandwich. Got a gluten free grilled cheese with white cheddar and maple honey ham... SO GOOD! Go if you can. Not an everyday thing because it's a little expensive but definitely will be coming back soon.

Delicious gf sandwiches and best of all fantastic coffee (best I've had in USA)

The sandwich was good but the mushrooms were ruberry. They offer gluten free cookies and macaroons.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Went here for 2 breakfasts and 1 lunch when we were in Boston recently. They were knowledgable of Celiacs and my daughter had no issues. They can do breakfast sandwiches and regular sandwiches on gf bread. She really enjoyed all the food she got there so I'm sure I'll be swinging in again the next time we are in town.

Sandwiches are great. Gfree chocolate chip cookies, not so much -- crumbly.

Always good to find somewhere I can have GF bread and almond milk. They had 3 other GF pastries I didn't try (I'm not a big chocolate fan and I read their cookies weren't great). The bread was very Udi's-like but I'm willing to have mediocre bread just to have bread. All in all, a nice breakfast.

The gluten free bread was the yucky Wonder Bread type. Bread was soggy, lettuce was bad.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Enjoyed a GF breakfast sandwich and latte, and had no problems finding a place to sit on a Sunday morning.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Sandwiches are delicious!! You can get any sandwich on gluten free bread. Their GF cookies aren't very good, but everything else is fantastic.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very friendly staff that's knowledgable about the gluten free food offered. Plus the desserts are yummy!

Celiac friendly?

No

The food is not gluten free in the slightest. They have GF pastries, but they are prepared using the same utensils and equipment as gluten-containing food. Avoid if celiac.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Decent gluten free cookie! Would go back

Pretty good selection. The bakery options change but the sandwiches are always a good bet

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great! They wiped down everything for me. I got a grilled cheese and flourless chocolate cake. They had a great selection. (Cheese wasn’t melted inside sandwich but still a 5 star from me)

Breakfast bread can be changed out to GF bread. Several GF baked goods: key lime pie, chocolate chip cookie, snickerdoodle (yummy), and lemon-blueberry iced donut (moist, fresh, and flavorful). They had beet salad (like at other location) and chia seed pudding. I definitely didn't feel like GF was an after thought. They also had free refills of coffee at this location (vs at the one next to Boston Commons that charged 55 cents for refills). Nice atmosphere and reasonably priced.

Gluten Free Tiramisu, cookies, key lime pie...yummy

Amazing G/F options and large gluten free cakes selection!! Heaven

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Got a grilled cheese with gluten-free bread. Choice of cheese (I went with cheddar). The bread was pretty dry and the cheese didn't melt well. The gluten-free chocolate chip cookie was average, the chocolate torte wasn't too bad. They can make any sandwich with the gf bread. All around okay, I've been to much worse places.

On a word-of-mouth recommendation I tried a gluten free grilled cheese sandwich. The cheese was not melted, the inside of the sandwich was soggy and inedible, probably from the jarred, cold, "roasted" red peppers. What little bread I ate left a bad after taste. This was a total disappointment. I left hungry.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Soo good! It has the best homemade gluten free bread grilled cheeses!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good variety of baked goodies with GF labeled and listed. White GF bread available for sandwiches. Got a grilled cheese with fancy cheese. At counter was asked allergy or preference. Allergy placed on kitchen ticket.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF pastries and sandwiches. They asking you have allergy or sensitivity at the counter when ordering. delicious!

Phenomenal food! Had a breakfast sandwich and the tiramisu and both were delicious and I didn’t get sick from either. The lines are long but completely worth it.

Run don’t walk! This place is amazing! I had gf tiramisu that was delicious. Took home a gf brown sugar pumpkin donut that was so good. Also tried their gf vegan snickerdoodles- wow! They taste like pure butter but there’s no butter (vegan). Great place for dessert!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a GF sandwich, coffee and a dessert and loved it! Definitely good for people with celiacs they are great with allergies and labels!

Awesome GF snickerdoodle, rice Krispie treat, chocolate chip cookie and flourless chocolate torte.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a GF bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich with no reaction. Cool spot for a quick brunch.

Donuts were wonderful. Always a treat when I find Gf pastry’s. Also tried a sandwich...it was delicious...dont get sandwiches very often. Definitely try. And their coffee is wonderful.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Coffee shop in North End part of Boston. They offer both GF and non- GF baked items. Have GF tiramissou, and an unbelievable Vegan/ GF Snickerdoodle made w/ Almond flour. I would consider this a place to go after having dinner in North End, to grab a Cappucino and a sweet after dinner.

Great food, very GF friendly. Wouldn’t recommend coffee or lattes though, the coffee was too bitter and after two tries with lattes both which had no flavor to them

Celiac friendly?

Yes

staff has great knowledge of GF risks and takes extreme precaution. one of the cooks actually has celiacs, which made me feel at ease! the GF black forest cake and the meyers lemon tart is delicious

Celiac friendly?

No

We’ve been here as celiacs, my son and I, on numerous occasions thru the years. Every time we visit Boston, it’s our first stop. Delicious GF cookies, delicious coffee, cool atmosphere, super nice serving staff. However, and this kills me to say this, the last time we went, we both got really sick after eating the GF chocolate chip cookies. And both of us eat out often and very rarely ever get sick. I assume there was some cross contamination issue in the baking preparation.

Great food & safe! Will be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesomeeeeeeeeee donut. So good. Coffee was pricey and they charged extra for almond milk. But the donut though...

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Went here today for the first time... placed my order and let the lady at the counter know that I was a very sensitive celiac so proper handleing is essential. She assured me they were very aware and used all precautions. I walked down the line and watched the young lady making my sandwich. She started by changing her gloves.... then wiped off her counter... next step was heating my bread which she did by wrapping it first in foil before placing it in the press... I was so very impressed that they would take the time to think that far in to the process... I had actually been thinking as I was watching "Oh well, there is the cross contamination potential, and I would probably be eating the filling and leaving the bread even though the bread itself was gluten free" When she wrapped it in foil I wanted to hug her!!! Then the poor girl dropped one slice on the counter when she unwrapped them... she immediatly without any hesitation took that slice and put it in the trash and prepared a new slice! I am so excited to have found this place! I know I will go back there again, and again, and again :D Very, clean, very pleasant, right on top of the allergin issue... I just wish I could give them more than 5 stars!!! Had to come back and edit this review! I indulged and purchased a gluten free pastry, they had a black forest cake today.... little layers of cake with cream filling and cherries.... out of this world!!! Anyone with celiac can attest to how rare good pastries are and a shop that sells really good gluten free bread for your sandwich!

This place was delicious! They had gluten free bread for sandwiches, gf cookies and other pastries, and great coffee! The staff was wonderful as well.

Celiac friendly?

No

I am a sensitive celiac. While, I did take a chance, I didn't get sick. I had the gf tiramisu and it was delicious. A lot of chance for cross contamination here but the employees were extremely helpful!

Delicious gf sandwich and the staff was very conscientious of notifying the kitchen it was an allergy.

Amazing GF chocolate chip cookie, great coffee, and helpful staff

Stumptown coffee is awesome. Good GF treats.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Super yummy gluten free breakfast sandwich! They also have great lunch options and some pastries. When ordering tell them it's celiac or for an allergy and they will be careful of cross contamination. It's

Celiac friendly?

No

Did not change gloves before getting out my bread (from a basket with other non-gf bags of bread in it too), and putting it on tin foil to heat it up, or before getting out the bacon to heat it up. After those things were warmed up, they changed gloves to put the sandwich together, but it would have already been contaminated. I didn't dare eat it.

Went here for the first time last weekend and it was great. Got a gf breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. Can't remember the last time I was able to pop in somewhere and get a breakfast sandwich and a coffee.

Coffee and latte are very good, not your cheap chain stuff. Lots of GF options and knowledgeable staff. Can make pretty much any sandwich GF

Stopped here for lunch. It is alittle coffee shop with sandwiches, prepackaged items (fruit cups, sm salads, juices, puddings, etc.) They have GF bread and they said they use a separate toaster for GF sandwiches. They also had GF chocolate chip cookies, GF chocolate torte slice and I think one GF pudding. My daughter had a turkey sandwich with honey mustard. I was alittle nervous as it was really busy and the place is really small (there was no open indoor seating left, so we ate outside). She didn't get sick, so I think it was ok - I would recommend for a quick bite and the cupcake place right next door (Georgetown Cupcakes) has 1 GF cupcake selection per day. So if looking for a coffee or a snack it is ok but not for a big meal.

Gluten free chocolate chip cookies!!

Very good. I had a BALT on gf bread and thought it was delicious. The bread was perfectly crispy. They also have French macarons which are delicious (but very tiny). Portions could be better, service could be better, and prices were a little high. But overall I would go back.

I had a breakfast sandwich that was good. They offer gf bread for their sandwiches and also have gf chocolate chip cookies!

I second the Tiramisu being yummy. 👍 5 stars for the tiramisu. The coffee is also good. I haven't had any other offerings.

Chocolate chip cookie is awful

Celiac friendly?

No

I would give the chocolate chip cookie two stars, but overall the place gets one because while they have gf bread, they do not understand celiac at all. I asked the person taking my order to change gloves and wrap the sandwich in aluminum foil and she looked confused. She asked, "why?" That's when I knew not to risk it.

I'm in love with their GF bread. Makes a great grilled cheese

Tiramisu tasted good.

nice sandwich on gluten free bread and delicious cookies too

Has sandwiches.

GF cookie was good. They have a GF Boston Opera cake that is amazing!!! Also the GF tiramisu is great.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gf chocolate chip cookies are so delicious! I also had a grilled cheese on the gf bread and the sandwich maker wrapped my sandwich in tinfoil before grilling. No reaction!
