Second Cup - North York

This restaurant is located in an upscale shopping center and offers a place to sit down, which sets it apart from other options in the area. I recommend visiting multiple locations in this chain before making a final decision. There is a social aspect to sitting and observing the people around you while enjoying your meal. The prices can be a bit expensive, but the atmosphere encourages social interaction. The food options range from sugary pastries to sandwiches and soups, so choose wisely to meet your dietary needs. Overall, it's a routine place with nothing extraordinary, but it serves its purpose well for a quick meal or coffee break while shopping.

Located at the entrance of the York Mills shopping centre, this cozy coffee shop offers easy access and ample parking. They also have a drive-through pickup service that is always busy. Inside, there are small tables mostly for two people, as well as a few armchairs by the fireplace. While the outside seating area can be noisy due to shopping center traffic, it can be enjoyable in the Spring and Fall. Background music is sometimes too loud, but it ensures the coffee is always fresh. The menu includes light, medium, and dark brews, as well as flavored coffees and a variety of Italian coffee options like cappuccinos, lattes, and espressos. They also offer a selection of savory and sweet bakery items, sandwiches, and cold beverages, all at reasonable prices.

This cafe offers consistently good coffee and baked goods, along with competent service. The atmosphere is not particularly exciting, making it one of the less appealing coffee shops I visit. If you happen to be in the area, it's a reliable option for a coffee. While you won't be disappointed, you also won't be blown away.

For many years this Second Cup location has served us neighbours as a meeting place or a pit stop for a caffeine pickup. Staff is always welcoming and helpful. The variety of freshly-brewed coffees available at any time along with tempting pastries makes each visit...a treat.

The staff here are wonderful and the coffee is good. This location is always busy so at times it's hard to get a seat.
