The Second Cup

Great place for meeting a friend or client, working on your laptop, or bringing the kids.
Whenever I walk into my local Second Cup, I get a really good feeling. The staff is welcoming to me whether I’m pushing my stroller or toting my laptop or just grabbing a cuppa for the road.
I generally prefer locally owned, indie coffee shops for the vibe, but this Second Cup location is an exception. For its cleanliness, friendliness and closeness, I give this place four stars!
All you laptop monkeys looking for a place to put in some hours on whatever work you have, this place boasts lots of tables, several plug locations, free wifi with sign-​in, and a good vibe.

Good iced coffee friendly staff and its far less expensive than timothies across the street.

I frequent this Second Cup location because it is close to a dance studio that I train at. I find the staff here very welcoming and they remember my drink even though it’s totally complicated and slightly pretentious.
Better yet, they have TWO patios that are pretty awesome to sit on in the warmer months. One side is in the shade!
There are three washrooms and at 2 are fairly clean (the other is the men’s washroom so I don’t go in there) despite the fact that they must have a lot of traffic and let’s face it, clean washrooms are very important!
The only reason this place doesn’t get 5 stars is because I heard second hand that this place may have had some «health issues.» I only drink the coffee so I’m not too concerned but if you eat the food you may want to look into this. I don’t know for sure but thought I’d put it out there!

It’s been a while since I’ve been to a Second Cup, and believe me, it’s not because I’ve been spurned too much by the business to go back, but because I haven’t been out about town lately to hit up a location. Now that I’ve found this one, it’ll be hard to stay away!
It’s a relatively welcoming and relaxing place for a chain establishment, with nice music and lighting that’s slightly dimmed. Second Cup offers cupcakes from local businesses (Dufflet) at very reasonable prices, but I’d leave the cake, it’s about $ 5 for a small slice, and good, but not great. I was very surprised at the quality of the coffee, very good –strong and smooth– and definitely comparable to Starbucks. Also serves great iced drinks that are way cheaper than at SB. This location is pretty low key and always has seats available.
Even though there is a Tim’s and a few Starbucks locations around the area, pretty close to Second Cup actually, I would say that this is a much better place for working, or even reading a book. In short, it’s much quieter and less busy, but still offers good food and drink at good prices, I’ll be going back for a second cup ;D

Been a while since i hit my old Cup.
Came by here a lot back in the 90s while doing renovations in the neighborhood.
still busy.
still a good place to hang your hat

They (the owner) intentionally misplaced orders just to make you pay more expensive drinks. We ordered two chai tea, but they made us pay for chai latte; even though we told them more than once. Plus, we served normal tea, while we ordered green tea.
