I come to this Second Cup to work due to its convenient location and ample seating. Pieces by local artists are often on sale and displayed throughout the cafe, lending an air of sophistication to the space. It's usually not too loud.
There are several things I wish would change: more plugs, friendlier service and better couches. Only one corner of the space has plugs available. When you walk in, don't be surprised to be greeted by a silent poker face. I'm not asking for a smile and a courtesy, but a "Hi" or "I'll be with you in a minute" would be nice. You know - manners. The couches are old, soft and way too low. Hello, lower back pain!
Still, a decent place to work if you choose a good seat. Plus the drinks are nice.
