I found this coffee shop one day when my regular place was so busy and I couldn't wait any longer.....had to have a coffee, and fast!
My first visit was excellent. I loved everything about the place, especially the dark roast and pastry. I deliberately tried the place another time, and was a little less thrilled with the seating. The front end full, I ended up at the back, next to two very loud women, having a very personal conversation. The tables are very close together.Most annoying.
Despite that, the service is good. The staff are welcoming and efficient. The place is clean and the selection of treats good.
Unfortunately, The Second Cup will still be my second choice. But my fave is a hard one to beat. If you are in the neighbourhood, give this place a try....especially the dark roast.
