We had the turkey, brie, and apple panini and a slice of carrot cake for dessert. Delicious!

The service is very slow, with only one person taking orders and another person making the drinks. I imagine they have become much busier since the Tim Horton's across the street closed.

It had been years since my last visit to Second Cup, but I was impressed with the improvements they have made. The decor of this Second Cup was beautiful and well-organized. There were designated areas for placing and picking up orders, making coffee with sugar/milk/napkins, a yogurt station with various toppings, a round yogurt bar area with plenty of barstools, additional barstools by the window, and booth seating in the back. Above the booth seating, there was a clever painting showcasing key landmarks of downtown Toronto. The addition of phone charging spots was a nice touch - simply ask the server for a charger, attach it to your phone, and place it on the designated spot to charge. I ordered a medium Americano coffee with pumpkin flavouring and a heated blondie, which was quite tasty despite my dislike of chocolate chips. The coffee was delicious and the staff at this location were friendly and accommodating. Thank you for a great experience, Second Cup! I will definitely be returning to this location.
