Second Cup CAFÉ & Cie est le plus important détaillant de cafés de spécialité au Canada. À ses humbles débuts en 1975, Second Cup consiste en un petit kiosque, établi dans un centre commercial, où l’on ne vend que du café en grains.
Review consensus portrays Second Cup Café as a warm, welcoming and cozy spot with a modern feel, where many are impressed by delicious coffee, tasty pastries, fast friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere that makes it a good place to work or relax and a frequent return, particularly in the Montreal location; the vibe is enhanced by helpful staff and a lively yet homey setting, and wifi is reliable. On the downside, some issues are noted such as coffee arriving cold if not served in a bag, plastic waste from lids, a surcharge for plant based milk, occasional stale bagels, and a preference for ceramic mugs over disposables; there are also complaints about loud machinery and chairs, busy weekends, parking challenges, and some restrooms needing attention.
Pros : open on January 1st, very nice to get a coffee delivered on New Year's morning.
Cons : the coffee doesn't come in a bag, so it was pretty cold, & they use double lid so it doesn't spill, sounds like a lot of plastic waste to me. Starbucks uses little stickers to cover the hole. I wish Second Cup would that.
Oh, & also : they charge extra for plant based milk. Starbucks dropped the surcharge.
Just stopped quickly for a coffee & let me say it was absolutely delicious wowww!! Definitely just found my new fav spot for my morning coffee:) girl serving today gave me excellent service totally made my morning! 10/10 recommend
We stopped by on our way to our hotel. The place was very pleasant to be at, staff was nice & coffee was delicious. My son had Dubai hot chocolate that was actually'too' sweet for him so my husband had to step in. :) We did not buy any food so I cannot comment on that but we enjoyed it there.
It's a bright & nice atmosphere.
The music may change on the day but it's always good.
The food & drink are typical but sufficient for a seating.
Parking may be a challenge depending on the day & time of day.
If you want to dine in, you can ask for ceramic mugs & plates instead of plastic & paper products which is nice! That's more than what most other places offer.
It seems busier on weekends than on weekdays.
The coffee grinding machine is horribly loud, though.
& the chairs are loud when you move them & they scrape against the floor.
Can the owner please change the chairs' feet to something QUIETER?
Different coffee options to choose from. Desserts are really good. Caffeine free options. Restrooms were clean & are just for customers. Would come back.
I love this coffee place. Always a good service & warm welcoming. Their flat white is great as well as their pastries. Internet speed is amazing.
Keep doing a good job. Your team is great.
Best coffee place in Montreal with an impeccable welcome & service. Pastries are also very tasty. I recommend alot the almond croissant. Keep the good job.
