Overall impressions of Second Cup Café highlight very good coffee and friendly service with a smile, a relaxed atmosphere that makes it a good place to meet friends, and a convenient location for many customers. The space inside is tight with many chairs, while outside seating is available, and some chairs could be removed or the design updated to ease crowding. The art in the back is appreciated and the cleanliness is generally fine, though renovations are noted as needed with a rusty heater and cobwebs on the high ceilings. The hot chocolate is good but could be improved, and a flat white was described as tasting like charcoal by one reviewer, with some saying they would not return. Overall, Second Cup Café earns praise for coffee and service with mixed comments about space, decor, and beverage quality.
Coffee is decent but not the best, the cheecake is good but I wouldn't give them credit for it since they're not making it. Service was awfully slow even though it wasn't rush hour (1030 am barely 10 clients) approximately 10min just to order. Overall not great just okay but convenient if you're not in a rush.

The Oreo cake was to die for. So full of flavor, not too sweet. We're only in Canada for another full day, but I'm probably going back for more cake. The coffee was also very good too.
Un très beau second cup café à Van horne, spacieux & confortable, je me suis amusée là bas! Le café était bien servi, les employés sont gentils & amicals. Actuellement ils ont beaucoup de choix pour l'été, smoothies de toutes les couleurs!
Just another second cup corner cafe. Offers nice patio style windows that over look a busy road. Staff & crowd on most days will trick you into believing that you're in an East Asian city cafe which is interesting in Montreal. Coffee was not well made, had ordered pistachio latte & it was disappointing. Most eatables are not fresh so you've to be smart while ordering. Strawberry cheesecake was good (see pic). It's usually busy, so finding a seat takes a bit of time. Service is quick though. Overall, I didn't enjoy this place.
J'adore m'arrêter à ce Second Cup pour prendre le latté pistache : c'est la succursale qui le réussit le mieux dans tout Montréal. Les employées sont très gentilles & patientes, toujours aux petits soins. Ceux qui critiquent les toilettes, personnellement elles sont dans un état correct toutes les fois où j'y suis allé & j'y vais souvent.

Très bel endroit malgré la qualité de la clientèle, beaucoup trop de bruit. N'y va pas le soir si tu cherches un endroit calme. Cet endroit est fait strictement pour les gens qui ne font pas pipi, les toilettes sont réservées au personnel, pas d'accès aux clients. Pour le reste, ça va
Les employés sont gentils, some of them. Cependant, ils se trompent souvent avec les boissons, & je prends toujours le même. Les toilettes: un vrai bordel.
The service was quick which is great. It's a typical second cup. I don't understand why they put cold drinks in warm-drink cups & their prices are a rip off. I bought a large matcha latte for over $7 & it just tastes like milk & ice. This taught me to make my own at home because totally not worth it & I encourage you to do the same whenever you can.
I think it's a good location. I've finish a bunch of essay in this place. consistency on the products are amazing. I guess my only complain is probably the owner/manager, or whoever the man that constantly roams around in the day time. No outside food allowed when he's there, making this a not-so -student friendly coffee stop... like the usual ones where you can sit for hours to do your homework. Understandably, he wants us to buy there.. but I guess it was just unusual for a premium coffee shop to have this regulations. That said, I've started coming in the evenings, the staffs are nice & I can eat my snacks freely.
