Second Cup

I usually avoid reviewing big chains on principle that people know what to expect from mass-​produced goods. That being said, when I saw this Second Cup had 4 stars, I felt I had to intervene.
My experience with this Second Cup’s Latte wasn’t positive. The unfinished cup is still in fact resting in front of me, and chances are it will remain that way. The bad blend of coffee beans still permeates my palate, a bitter and icky aftertaste I can’t wait to wash away with water.
And the tiramisu? Average, at best. My husband liked it, so it’s not a total disaster, but I was sourly reminded of why I usually avoid chains like Second Cup.
I’ll stick to Starbucks and third wave coffee shops next time. Lesson learned!

I have gotten two regular lattes here and they were both quite good. It wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but it was cheap and better than Starbucks. I didn’t have any of the pastry options but they all looked tantalizing. Second Cup is a solid choice when you find yourself in a part of town with no other cafés nearby.
