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.

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 ✨

Extremely disappointed with my visit. I ordered filter coffee, & they served me a single shot with hot water, claiming it was filter coffee. The quality was terrible, & they were blatantly dishonest about it. The place also smelled like onion & food, making it impossible to enjoy coffee. I will never come here again & definitely won't recommend it!'

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.

Je tiens à exprimer ma profonde gratitude envers Oscar, qui a véritablement rendu ma visite au Second Cup Café mémorable. Son accueil chaleureux & son sourire sincère m'ont immédiatement mis à l'aise. Il a pris le temps de m'écouter & m'a recommandé une boisson qui était tout simplement parfaite. Son professionnalisme & son attention aux détails sont exemplaires. Merci, Oscar, pour cette merveilleuse expérience! Je reviendrai certainement. Merci Oscar!

Honestly most mid beverage I have gotten. Two redbull infusions for 18$ is bonkers. Tasted watered down. Would recommend to someone who doesn't like sweet things though. Edit: Wrote this while finishing my beverage, I take back what I said about the sweetness. Bottom of the cup gave me diabetes.

It's a great palace to grab a cup of coffee while you wait, do some work, or do college homework. The staff are friendly. I recommend having a piece of cheese cake with your coffee.
