My favourite Second Cup location to relax and charge my phone while I work on my emails. This is one of the newly renovated locations that are designed to modernize Second Cup, along with the new app that you can scan to pay with.
When you walk in, there's brass, wood, and marble everywhere, giving it a very upscale feel that bests Starbucks. The milk and crème come out of a tap which is a bit weird, but I went along with it.
In the middle is the slow bar where you can sit down, charge your phone using the wireless chargers freely given, and order a pour over or any other drink and pay while you're seated.
For me, this is a very unique experience, and the baristas are very friendly and welcoming. One time I overheard a couple from Hamilton talk to a barista for over 15 mins and he was patient enough with them and answered all their questions. This is the Second Cup that made me decide to give this chain a ... wait for it.. another chance.
