My fiancé and I had a really great time at this second cup café. It’s the best coffee in town that we had (I can recommend the Iced Vanilla Bean Latte!!! It was so yummy ) . Our barista was very kind and now we even call her a friend :) Although the cinnamon bun was a bit dry for our taste, it was enjoyable. Great atmosphere.

Extremely rude attendant. Monday 10/23/2023 10 am. This lady needs to learn politeness and customer service. I am surprised that after multiple reviews of unacceptable customer service, this attendant continues to work here. I have no doubt that other reviewer are talking about the same person. More

The brightest coffee spot I've ever been. Usually go grab my coffee in the morning so that I can enjoy a lot of amazing sunshine here. I can tell it's such a perfect place to work or study with friends. Don't sleep on their cinnamon toast latte! Thanks for the baristas as well. More

I visited this Second Cup on Tuesday morning to keep warm and it was a good choice. The staff was very friendly and the service is fast. She recommended me to have a vanilla latte and the coffee was so tasty! The coffee shop is so clean and cozy. More

Was traveling by myself across Canada and I had a really good iced mocha here. The girl who made me the mocha was very sweet, and she even recommended me some good places in Calgary!! Wish I could visit this cafe and try other drinks someday. ◡̈

Cozy, bright and clean space, perfect for those looking for some stress relief or just a good place to have a date. The selection of drinks and treats is very large, I personally love the Ham and Cheese melt and the Moccacino together, but

Ordered a cappuccino, the milk was scalding and burnt and the cup was full to the brim, no milk foam. Coffee was watered down. Employee named sandy was working. I told her it didn’t taste very good, the milk was burnt and coffee as watered

I liked the red bull summer drinks they had previous ; tasted good, however the Italian soda I just purchased was flat like a day old left out pop and gross. Waste of $6. It’s like syrup and water: Even gave me a head ache. It tastes like

I love this location to sit and work, while taking breaks to watch the busyness on 17th Ave. They have ample seating and many outlets for laptops. The staff here are SO wonderful! Every time I visit they check to make sure I am happy with

  • Doug Wong

This location seems to have mixed reviews for staff, so we were very glad that a nice young lady named Riya was working when we arrived for coffee on Boxing Day. Having owned several small businesses, I always pay attention to the service

I really love this cafe and always stop by before work to grab a cup of latte and recharge with positivity from Tyrin (I'm not sure I spelled her name correctly), who works the morning shift. She always greets me with a smile and already

There are places that will let you use the bathroom when not buying and those that will not, this chain coffee store will not. Have bought my fair share of coffee from second cup, but policy is policy. That being said, there are tons of

Will probably never step foot here again. I came here to work since wifi at my house hasn’t been set up. I wanted to set up my laptop first and get settled in with a good seat since I planned to be there for 1.30hrs. It took me a while

  • Morgan Lynds

Visited this Second Cup on Saturday. The female barista was extremely rude to me and my partner. She literally said to us, "No, I'm not talking to you. I'm not discussing anything with you." when we asked a question. It was very, very

my brewed coffee is not only freshly brewed but the store is also clean and organized. This is a great cafe to hang out and do some stuff. The Barista - Iryna is also amazing with her handcrafted beverages. More

  • Armee Marie

The latte I ordered was okay. The staff is rude, she is not accomodating, she doesn’t even say Hi, thank you or welcome. She didn’t even let my husband use the washroom, she said its for customer only. More

  • Lindsey Hayden

We all know Second Cup as the Canadian Starbucks. Fine, but you don't GO there. And they're everywhere and you wonder how they stay in business. Well, welcome to the future where Second Cup is boss.

  • Jason N

Polite staff, great cafe atmosphere. Great drinks and food. Priced higher than a Tim's but you pay for the drink quality. Has wireless charging for your devices when your sitting and having a drink.

Came in this morning to get some work done. The cashier lady had an attitude, like I’m bothering her for ordering a coffee. I asked if the wifi had a password and she told me no.
