My husband & I stopped in last Saturday afternoon after a long morning of wandering Old Montreal, & Second Cup was exactly the rest we needed. The barista was so warm & patient while we debated between the lattes & the chai, & she even suggested the maple scone which turned out to be absolutely delicious. The cozy window seats gave us a perfect spot to people-watch while we rested our feet, & the whole place had a relaxed, unhurried vibe that you don't always find in busy city cafes. We will definitely pop back in next time we visit Montreal - a lovely little stop.

We visited yesterday after a cold long walk, the atmosphère was so warm & the cashier was super welcoming & friendly. They were so busy due to the protest running outside but the service was super good. We got cappuccino & americano. Definitely going to visit more often.

The cafe & the coffee itself are not bad, the service however isn't ideal. There was a cashier who was significantly rude. Maybe she was under pressure, this being a busy location, but she was quite uncivil.

We got lucky & were able to sit right up front so we got to enjoy our coffee & snack while watching people walk by.
This is a very busy corner, it was nice to slow down & warm up for a while!
This Second Cup is huge, there were many people either on their computers or just reading a book.
The noise level was very low for such a busy & large coffee shop.
Coffee is always good at this chain!
Their baked goods were super fresh & well priced.

I've been here a few times in the past couple of months & each time I placed a mobile order & each time I've had to wait & wait & wait - & it wasn't busy. They clearly have an issue with mobile orders, because everyone who walked in AFTER I placed my order & was already waiting for 5-7 minutes was able to order & get their drink before me. Definitely will not give this location another chance.
