Even though this is primarily a coffee bar, I am firmly in my matcha era right now, so that's what I went for. It was pretty decent, and I really liked that they use ceremonial grade matcha. I added vanilla syrup to mine for a little extra flavor which was a nice touch. I don't want to rate the place unfairly since I didn't actually try their coffee this time around, but based on the vibe, I would definitely go back to try a latte next time.

What makes it different is the rotating selection of specialty coffees from some of Canada's best roasters, so there's always something new to try. The espresso drinks are consistently excellent, the matcha is a standout, and they offer creative seasonal drinks alongside pastries and retail coffee beans. The team is friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely cares about making every drink properly. It's a great stop whether you're serious about coffee or simply want a really good latte while shopping. Definitely worth checking out.

My friend ordered a regular latte and she said it was good. The customer service was extremely friendly. This location is situated in a mall, so not tons of seating on the inside but there was more seating outside of the store. Inside was clean and the walls were decorated with their products. They are opening a location in Hamilton soon, which I do look forward to visiting.

Just stumbled into a total hidden gem in Guelph -- Planet Bean Coffee…read more If you're into handcrafted espresso, ethically sourced beans, and baristas who actually *care* about your pour, this place is it. They roast their own fair-trade coffee right here in town, and you can taste the difference in every sip. The best part? The barista walked me through all the pour-over options like a coffee sommelier -- from bright, citrusy Ethiopian notes to smooth, cocoa-rich blends. You get to choose your own flavor journey, and it's honestly an experience every coffee lover should try. If you ever find yourself in Guelph, skip the chain and come here. You'll leave with caffeine, conversation, and probably a whole new appreciation for good coffee.

While the coffee itself was genuinely good the overall experience left something to be desired…read more A cappuccino with almond milk and decaf came to $9.58 a price point that's hard to justify for a small cup. In my experience, most coffee shops, whether large or small chain or independent cafes don't charge separate for decaf and an additional surcharge for alternative milk on top of that feels excessive. Unfortunately, this pricing makes it difficult to see myself returning, especially when comparable or better options are available at reasonable price. I'd encourage management to revisit their pricing structure

I had the toasted caramel latte a seasonal offering and it was absolutely delicious. I also tried the orange blossom macarons, which were equally delightful.

The music playing consisted of beautiful covers of popular songs. It was a whole vibe in there... I will definitely be back.

The ambiance is charming without being all stuffy, and the coffee is really good, not too acidic like some places. Also, the desserts aren't too sweet, which surprised me. Servers are great and try to go above and beyond. Just as an aside, Market Square seems to have been hit really hard by the pandemic. Most shops have closed up or aren't doing too well. So please come out and try to support some of these small businesses, they really need our help! Lola's Choco Bar & Sweet House isn't far from RBG, so you can take a coffee break after your garden stroll!

I'm not a huge fan of their decaf (it's a pour over and very strong), but it was a nice spot for a chat! Parking is on the street, and the location is quite convenient.

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.

I am a fiend for thai MT and my first sip was bliss, the tea wasn't like any i've had before and the owner says they ship theirs directly from thailand. the regular milk tea with torched custard was cool because we've never had that before and it added some creamy, sweetness to the drink. that being said, i would probably order 30% sugar or less the next time i come just because their drinks are pretty sweet as is. genuinely can't wait to come back to try their other drinks (been eyeing the butterfly pea tea MT with cheese foam :0)

Could this be Mississauga's hidden gem for bubble tea? Possibly…read more I came across this place by chance and decided to give it a try. I got 3 drinks: one Jasmine green tea, one classic milk Boba tea and one pineapple tea with Boba. I was not that big of a fan of the pineapple but loved the other ones. I don't like the Boba used as I find it a little too chewy and the taste isn't as good as other Boba pearls I've had. I find this one to have a bit of stronger taste. It's a small shop, but cute. There are board games available and it gives off a cozy/chill vibe. When waiting for your drink, there's a seating area near the door and even a game you can try. The timer/game gives you the chance to win a free drink on the house if you manage to get a perfect 10:00 score (I mean you manage to stop the timer on that time). Product was well packaged. Drink was not too sweet despite not having adjusted the sweetness level, which I liked. The only thing for me was the waiting time which took forever, as in more than 20 minutes to be served. It was busy and there was only 1 person working. 1 person for the entire place, to make drinks and take the orders. I can imagine how much slower it would be during peak hours. I went during non-peak hours and there was only 2 people in store sitting down, yet it took me over 20 minutes to get my drinks.
