| - What is the best thing when hurricane Sandy hits the east coast and you happen to be outside in the evening in Toronto with your brother and bicycles and feel its strength and wetness? A break in Second Cup.
We were looking for 20 minutes a place on Monday evening, which would offer cupckakes. Good luck, at that time they were all sold out and the pastry displays seemed pretty empty since College and Bathurst. I am glad we stumbled on Second Cup, as by the time we were really wet and needed something warm and sweet. I have been to different locations around the city, but because of that night, this spot is always dear to me.
At that evening you could see few people studying and sipping their hot drinks. Clunk, I wanted that too. It was pre-Halloween and they were offering their special pumpkin pie chai. I had that and brother had a regular coffee. OMG, the drink was so sweet. Beware if you happen to order a nice Nanaimo Bar (big size, good-looking), as I did. THE SWEET BOMB!!! Even for a sweet tooth as myself! I was struggling and I had to share my bar with brother, which I never do, as I adore my sweets :) I must say I felt quite sick after, of course my own fault, but a mint gum made the feeling better quite fast.
Ups, forgot to mention, that brother had the red velvet cupcake and he loved it. It was moist and nicely sweet. We got energy to step back into wet and windy Yonge. We were struggling with wind to get home safely. We did, but with wet underwear. At least Coffee Time visit made sense ;)
P.s. Second Time happens to have a great variety of pastry, so be sure to try their heavenly brownies too.
