On Mondays, till December 9, 2019, if you buy any hot chocolate, you can get get another one for free. I have a weakness for hot chocolate. I used to go through canisters of hot chocolate mix as if I expected an apocalypse to occur. I stopped going through them so quickly after I looked at how much sugar I was consuming. Instead, I treat myself to a hot chocolate here and there. I did a search and found this Second Cup that is close to the hotel where I am staying. Yay! The cafe is in a small plaza. I actually entered where cars should exit. You can't see the arrow at all on the pavement. I noticed it when I left. Oops! Parking is limited. There were two spots that were opposite each other. I pulled into one and backed into the other. I then walked into the cafe. It's cozy. I can see folks sitting here for hours, chatting with a friend, or working quietly on a laptop and occasionally sipping a beverage. I knew that it felt right the moment I walked in. I headed to the counter. I had a patient person help me with my order. I wanted two hot chocolates. I am not a Second Cup regular. I pulled out my phone and rattled off the two flavours that I wanted: candy cane and cinnamon roll. I asked for no whipped cream. Done! I paid using my debit card. I did the tap thing and I was good. There is a small table where you pick up your mobile order. I waited by the regular drink counter. It didn't take long for my drinks to be ready. I sprinkled cinnamon on my cinnamon roll hot chocolate. I topped my candy cane hot chocolate with crushed candy cane. Yep, that's how I roll! I thanked the man who helped with my order. He smiled and wished me a good evening. Here's the fun part. I managed to get both drink into my car with my usual iced black tea from Starbucks already there. Trying to carry three beverages without a tray can be done. I had an insulated bag in my car trunk that fits all three beverages in a row. I put them all in, carried them up to my hotel room, and nothing spilled out. My hot drinks were still hot. Yay! The candy cane hot chocolate was okay. It was heavy on the candy canes that I could barely taste the hot chocolate. I need to hold back on the crushed candy canes! I loved the cinnamon roll hot chocolate a lot more. Extra cinnamon on top of a cinnamon-flavoured hot chocolate is the best. I have found my drink of choice at Second Cup. It wasn't terribly sweet. It was perfect. The baked goods looked yummy. I had already eaten dinner and didn't feel like dessert, so I passed. This cafe also has Pinkberry frozen yogurt. I'll need to try them next time. If you live in this neighbourhood, I am envious of you. Walking over here for a drink after dinner or whenever seems wonderful to this suburban. (446)

Coffee is excellent and the decor gives off very warm vibes. I tried the cayenne chocolate latte and they weren't shy with the spice, which I loved. It's definitely on the pricey side, with said latte costing about $8, but I guess that's inflation for ya these days? Definitely top tier quality coffee so worth it for the coffee connoisseurs, I'm sure. The only issue I had was that the stools in the window are very wobbly. Definitely was a bit worried I was going to fall on my ass, but thankfully that didn't happen ^.^

On a rare Sunday outing last weekend, I headed over to Oakville to meeting a good friend at a…read morepatio. I used to drive on highway 407 to get to work. I haven't been on it since we were all asked to work from home just before the pandemic's official declaration was made. However, being at the lowest tier on 407 ETR's rewards program, I get to drive a certain number of kilometres for free on Sundays. I decided to relive driving it. I got to Oakville earlier than I had expected. I needed a drink on a hot, sunny day. I did a quick search and found this Starbucks close by. I headed over there. This cafe is its own standalone building. I dig it. It's rare to find. It's either a part of a series of businesses, or is built into a Petro-Canada gas station. I spotted a drive-thru and decided to check it out. There was a single car in front of me. When I was my turn, I spoke to a man. I ordered my usual when it's summer, which is a grande iced peach green tea. It still bugs me that, by default, staff assume that you want it with lemonade. Um, no. If I had said lemonade, it would indicate that I want it. I got to the pickup window and spoke to a male barista. I had him scan my Starbucks barcode on my phone to pay for my drink. He then asked how I'd like to pay, holding a payment machine. I was confused. I asked him, "Didn't I just pay?" He had to check. I don't know what he did or did not do there, but he needed to rescan my barcode. Weird. I did get my drink. I thanked him, despite being weirded out by the double-scan oddness. I drank my iced peach green tea. It hit the spot. It was refreshing, cold, and perfect. If I'm back in this area, I'd drop by again. It has a patio with many folks enjoying it that day. Here's hoping that I don't need to scan my payment barcode more than once! (264)

Located at the corner of Dundas & Quebec, in The Junction, Claudia's Coffee is one of the local…read morefavorites. The space is thoughtfully designed as great spot to settle in for hours, whether you're working or just relaxing with a good book. With ample seating and free WiFi, it's easy to spend time here, and the added bonus of a customer washroom makes it convenient for those planning to stay a while. For busier days, the takeout window adds extra convenience, allowing you to grab your drink on the go. The staff is friendly and efficient, ensuring your experience is always pleasant. Claudia's is also an excellent choice for non-coffee drinkers, like myself. They offer a wide selection of drinks beyond coffee such as hot chocolate, tea, lattes, cider, and rotating seasonal specials that keep things interesting. I've tried a few different drinks here, and each one has been just as enjoyable as the last. Whether you're a coffee enthusiast or not, Claudia's has something to satisfy every taste. However, the café isn't considered wheelchair accessible as you are required up go up a couple of steps you reach the door.

I will never understand why coffee shops are built in clusters, in close proximity to each other…read more The Mississauga City Centre has to be coffee overload for anyone looking to get their fix, as there are so many options within a one-block radius that it's staggering. I'd like to meet the designer who thought this would sit well a block away from a Starbucks and a Tim's, not to mention the dozen coffee shops inside Square One as it is. I would have never found this place were it not for the fact that I was attending a show nearby at the LAC and wanted a quick coffee and snack. I made my way over here and found the experience to be pleasant, though the rough edges are definitely showing. The first thing I noticed was the service. As others have said, the servers are a bit aloof but cordial. I ordered an Orange Spice tea and a slice of banana loaf, and one of them wished me goodbye and seemed to be expecting me to leave the counter while the other woman was getting my food. The right hand doesn't know what the left is doing, but the service is decent enough. I was surprised by the amount of seating tucked away in the place (you definitely can't see it all from outside), but the padded seats I perched on were fraying and had definitely seen better days. Couple that with the existing power outlet problem (did no one bother to rewire/renovate when they opened this place? Did no one expect that?), and you can see why this place only has a middle-of-the-road rating. That said, the tea's solid (can't really screw that up) and the loaf was fine. This Second Cup is fine for what it is, but it's not a place I'd go out of my way for again, especially with so many other options in the area.
