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.
Second Cup Café is widely described as a cozy, warm, and modern spot with very good coffee and a generally fast, friendly service that makes customers feel at home and encourages lingering or getting work done, while the atmosphere and staff are consistently praised; reviewers note pastries are decent and the location is convenient, with easy bus access and a welcoming vibe, though experiences vary with occasional slow service on a busy or off night and some logistical annoyances such as restrooms needing attention, loud coffee grinders and chairs, and packaging that can leave coffee cold or result in extra plastic waste; several guests question the value of plant-based milk surcharges, and a small number mention recommendations like ceramic mugs over plastic; overall, it is seen as a dependable favorite that many would return to for reliably good coffee and friendly service.
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?
Ordered a cream cheese bagel & iced latte by Ubereats this morning. I couldn't even take a bite in my bagel since it was hard & stale, I had to throw it away. The iced latte was fine, but I wish it came with a straw. I won't be ordering from this place again!
Depuis mon arrivée à Montréal il y a presque 4 ans, cet endroit décontracté (au coin des rues Roy & Saint-Laurent) est devenu l'un des endroits que je fréquente le plus souvent pour une simple pause-café.
Le café filtre est toujours corsé & son prix est très raisonnable. Bien que je n'aie pas goûté la plupart des plats proposés, ils sont également proposés à des prix raisonnables pour leur volume (une pâtisserie que j'ai déjà goûtée était cependant un peu trop sucrée pour mes papilles japonaises).
La simplicité & l'agencement spacieux de la salle lui confèrent une ambiance réconfortante & relaxante. L'ambiance est d'autant plus agréable grâce à l'accueil chaleureux & professionnel des excellents baristas.
À l'exception d'une occasion où j'ai trouvé la musique assez bruyante, je n'ai pas encore trouvé de meilleur endroit pour passer le temps, lire ou écrire tout en savourant une tasse de café chaud & apaisante.
