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.

Not of a fan of Quesada/second cup sharing the same place. Smell of tacos doesn't mix with coffee

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.

Just arrived in Montreal & was looking for a hot coffee when I came across Second Cup. Such a cute & cozy spot! The staff was super friendly, there's plenty of space to sit, read, or work, & the selection of coffee, smoothies, sandwiches, & pastries is great.

Excellent first impression-will definitely be back. ☕?

The service is good. The staff are nice & very welcoming. There's no problem there but the frappe they made me was horrible. It was 90% ice with a touch of coffee. For 7.50$ it was really not worth it.

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.

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.
