Review Summary

Second Cup Café receives mixed feedback, with many customers praising the warm, cozy atmosphere and friendly staff who contribute to a welcoming environment for studying, working, or relaxing. While the quality of the coffee and specialty drinks is frequently highlighted as a positive aspect of the experience, the integration of a food counter within the space has led to concerns regarding conflicting food odors and a limited menu selection. Consistent issues noted in the reviews include reports of long wait times during busy periods due to understaffing, concerns regarding washroom maintenance, and occasional dissatisfaction with specific drink preparations or menu options. Overall, the location is valued for its central location and inviting interior design, though experiences can fluctuate depending on staffing levels and shared service arrangements.

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.

Lovely café with such a warm vibe. The lady working there was very kind, I had chocolate cake & earl grey tea both were great. A perfect spot to chill for a bit.

I'm a long-time customer of this café & i like the new look after the renovation. The interior design has improved a lot & the atmosphere feels really nice now. The staff are friendly, helpful, & always smiling. I really enjoyed my coffee & dulce de leche cake on a very cold day. recommended ✨

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.

Excellent café latte! I love this location too-right in central Downtown Montréal. It has plenty of seating, spacious two floors, & a cozy ambiance. Plus, it's clean & well-maintained! Would come often & highly recommended for the latte.
