The staff is top notch with a tone of coffee knowlege, really friendly, and had lots of recomendations. The layout is unlike most coffee places with a large coffee bar that wraps around itself, leanding itself to easy conversations with either other customers or staff. It is also set up in a way that you can have space to yourself as well without feeling inclined to chat so either way it is nice. The warp around couch is also pretty comfy and would work well with groups. The coffee itself is clean rich and complex. We got a cordato with the recomendation from the staff. It was creamy and hit the spot. Overall a great place for some coffee.

We also got the sandwich au jambon which was good, but could've been better with better flavor combos. Still great quality. Loved the ham here. Also highly recommend the chai latte.

The Short Version: It's a Canadian chain coffee shop in the…read moretrain station. Consistent with other locations. The Long Version: This location is inside the Gare Centrale (Central Station) were the VIA, Amtrak and commuter trains are. We were at the train station dropping off our luggage for the day since we had to check out of our hotel but our train home wasn't until later that afternoon. The hubby is a coffee fiend, so needed his coffee fix, even though he literally just had a coffee when we left the hotel, lol. Anyway, he got this second cup of the day at Second Cup. How fitting, haha. He said it was fine. Better than the Cafe Brossard coffee at the hotel, but nothing remarkable. I had a sip and agreed. Service was courteous and efficient. The ambiance is quite nice. It's spacious and fits the overall train station vibe. Review #214 (2025)

While not as obvious as McDonald's or some depanneurs, this Second Cup coffeehouse is not that far…read morefrom the main hall at Gare Centrale. It shares some of the walkways and passages in Place Bonaventure with other food and drink establishments. For starters, I like Second Cup more than I do Starbucks. It doesn't have as much hype and branding. It seems lower key. However, on this particular visit, the service ran a little more aloof and they weren't crowded. Also, I prefer their selection of desserts. I went in to get something to eat and to do so in the dining area. I settled on a big cup of hot tea and a hefty slice of chocolate cake. While far from nutritionally balanced or healthy, that might have been dinner. However, in Montreal, using transit is always accompanied by walking - how much is up to you - and that can help counter those calories. Second Cup is a Canadian coffeehouse chain. Per the maxim "when in Rome," I try to patronize Canadian establishments when in Canada, be they stand-alone or chain entities. I will only go to Starbucks outside the U.S. if all the stars line up in its favor, so to speak. I've always had good to excellent experiences at Second Cup and, with the dynamic hustle and bustle of Gare Centrale and the Financial District, this is a nice store in which to sit, eat and drink, people watch (which never disappoints in Montreal), and do some laptop or "to do list" time.

I ordered their Hojicha Latte with Oat Milk (props for having non-dairy options), and it was fine. Nothing about it was a standout for me but it got the job done in providing a caffeine fix. This store is much smaller than the "flagship" location inside a historical bank, and works to get your coffee/tea fix if you're in the area... and to buy some socks too.
