Wonderful and kind service. They were delightful, even though I forgot a fair chunk of my high school French. The coffee is delicious and not bitter, and I would gladly walk a few blocks to visit Second Cup again! ...

Excellent cafe latte! I love this location too—right in central Downtown Montreal. It has plenty of seating, spacious two floors, and a cozy ambiance. Plus, it’s clean and well-maintained! Would come often and highly recommended for the latte.

The staff makes this an outstanding place! I was visiting from out of province and was hesitant to go places as I don't speak French. When I went to order , I apologized for my lack of French speaking skills and the staff immediately warmed up and helped me feel at home with their warm smiles. I needed guidance on exploring the city as I was going to be in Montreal only for a few hours - and the staff went out of their way to help. They made my day! It is a real treat to feel so welcomed in an unknown city :)

It's a great palace to grab a cup of coffee while you wait, do some work, or do college homework. The staff are friendly. I recommend having a piece of cheese cake with your coffee.

We ordered cappuccinos and desserts. The restaurant has a 2-story modern interior. It's a shame that they only operate until 10 in the evening. However, it's strange that they only offer reusable cups; I'm one of those people who prefers to have the choice between a reusable cup and a regular one.
