Yes. In Seoul. This might not mean much to most people but what former or present NYU student doesn't know this logo?! I spotted an "Opening Soon" sign for this coffee shop and was absolutely elated. It was just by luck that I got a peek of the store front on my way somewhere else. As soon as I could, I made it over to Think and I have to say, "Wow."
The first thing that greeted me was a lovely sign that announced a 7am opening time. Oh, morning coffee! One of starkest differences between the US and Korea is the time of day that coffee is taken. US: butt crack of dawn beverage. Korea: afternoon or even late night pick-me-up.
I'll try not to wax poetic for those who have never been to the NYC location, but ah the memories! There were marble counter tops and wooden tables. There was even a glass case not unlike the original. Unfortunately the eclectic furniture was missing, but the menu was pretty familiar. Sandwiches and pastries...there are no egg creams or beers from Brooklyn, though.
If only this place were closer! I would definitely be there nearly every morning for bagels and cream cheese. If any NYUer's see this, give a shout!
