Review Summary

Reviews describe Second Cup Café as a cozy, welcoming spot with good coffee, pastries, and a generally friendly staff, especially after renovations that brightened the interior, added a two level layout with ample seating, and created a more relaxed vibe. Many note a strong selection of seasonal drinks and reliable service, with some praise for excellent lattes and warm interactions from the team. At the same time a number of visits report slower service during busy periods when only one person is working, occasional rude or inconsistent behavior from staff, and mixed impressions of coffee quality including drinks that were lukewarm or not what was expected. Some patrons miss certain menu items that are not always available, and a few encounters mention price concerns, odors or restroom cleanliness issues, and in one case a change that makes the spot feel more like a restaurant than a coffee shop. Overall the venue remains a popular choice for coffee and a good atmosphere for study or work, with the atmosphere and care from staff standing out despite periodic glitches in service and offerings.

I find the employees often make mistakes & act cold with customers. Lots of seating & electric outlets available, great place for studying. However, I would rather go somewhere else.

The staff is very nice & very quick. The vibe is really nice as well but the bathroom is disgusting!!! It smells horrible, the floor seems like they haven't been cleaned in months, the paper toilet rolls are just on top of the toilet, the soap dispenser is holding on for dear life, & the toilet takes like 10 seconds to fully flush down... for a second cup I would imagine the bathrooms are better maintained. Besides that, it's a nice place to study & chill.

It's a nice place to come & study, but the flat white I ordered was very watery, & I could barely taste coffee 😢
