Second Cup

This place is amazing, so much better than Starbucks. They have a handful of locations in the Ontario region as far as I’ve seen. The quality of their coffee destroys Starbucks or Tim Hortons hands-​down. I ordered a flat white and it was perfect!
The design and ambience is creative, modern and cozy. Nice leather seats and wooden tables. Service was very friendly. Even the restrooms are clean and modern. Consider this place over any other. Won’t be disappointed.
They have free Wi-​Fi also. They even have plenty of outdoor seating.

Due to it’s lightening-​speed wifi, super sweet staff, and much quieter vibe than Starbucks, this has become one of my recent work spots in my new ‘hood. One things Orleans is sadly lacking is a really cool independent coffee shop, but until I find my dream spot, this place does nicely.
The first time I came here I was a bit disappointed with a rather dismal iced cinnamon latte type drink, but I decided to give them another chance, and I’m so glad I did. The other lattes and coffees I have had here have been expertly prepared, and I’m in love with their chai tea latte — yum! I also really like their turkey and egg white breakfast sandwich on an english muffin. It’s a light meal and always tastes fresh.
This location always has a couple of people working away or chatting, but nothing compared to the craziness of the Starbucks on Innes. It’s got a really warm and welcoming atmosphere. There’s a cozy (electric) fireplace, lots of seating options, and as mentioned, lovely staff.
If you’re in a rush, this location also has a drive through that is super fast and friendly.
Wifi note: After two hours you are automatically signed out of the wifi, but no worries — they let you connect again :)
