Dropped in for a coffee to go and spoke to the barista who mentioned they rotate their coffee beans weekly which is pretty cool. They had Happy Goat brewing the day/week that I was here. After seeing a few tables having lunch and smelling the food, I decided to place and order for patatas bravas. I grabbed my coffee and let them know I'd be waiting outside. 15 minutes later and I had my food delivered to me in a brown paper bag that was nicely packaged. I got home 15 minutes later to have patatas bravas and damn they were still delicious. I believe all the food there is made at Le St Laurent. Staff and service are really nice and I plan to head back for something more substantial next time. Yelp won't let me add their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/revivalbylsl/ but at this time I don't see them with their own website

We ordered an egg/bacon/cheese breakfast sandwich, a bottled juice, soy chai latte and 3 vegan doughnuts (because they were delivered by their bakery partner when we arrived!) Lots of plant-based breakfasty items available like wraps and pastries. We shared the maple walnut, chocolate dip Oreo, and apple fritter doughnuts on site/later. All excellent, with no greasy after-effect. Super friendly staff, quiet atmosphere, and loads of seating. Every hand-crafted beverage we spotted had that pretty foam design, so you probably can't go wrong with one of those. You can take Happy Goat Coffee grounds or beans to go. We'll definitely be back!

I do not see a lot of students coming here to study as much as I see at Starbucks, but when they do, they are usually at the back of Second Cup, near the rear doors surfing the net or doing homework. I enjoy their ice drinks more than their hot drinks, always found their coffee a bit bitter. But, when I do venture out here, I usually get a chillate, or a frozen hot chocolate. They have a small selection of baked goods and snacks like cookies, cake and biscotti, but nothing really amazing!! The comfy seats between the fire place is a nice touch! Great place to spend a couple of hours chatting and catching up with friends!

The place was busy, but not crowded at all and we were able to easily find a seat. We ordered an omelette on an English muffin, smoked salmon on a bagel, flat white and a milk shake. Milk shakes are made fresh with ice cream. Breakfast food was just reheated pre-made, however the staff was wonderful and made us a fresh bagel with cream cheese when we asked for no onions. The flat white was great, similar but a bit better, then Starbucks. They have lots of non dairy options like soy and oat milk. The decor and food was standard for a coffee chain, would be nice if there was more local charm or more fresh made options.

And many spots to sit outside in nice weather. Baked goods are hard to resist. Small but mighty selection. Everything is good! Coffee is reliably well made, and the cozy seating area is great on a cold day. What I love about inside is the low key quirkiness, from old hair salon chairs to snow shoe art, I usually spot something I've never noticed before. They do also have a small light lunch type of menu, and anything I've ordered from that has been tasty. Staff are top notch - well versed on the product, always genuine, and efficient. It's a little gem hidden away in the neighborhood. In summer, parking can be a challenge, and the ice cream line looks daunting. But good things come to those who wait, and the line moves at an efficient pace.

There's not much seating room, but there are benches just outside. It didn't really bother me since I prefer to grab my coffee and walk around...but it is in a nice central location in the mall and easy to find. Great for a meeting spot! I enjoy treating myself to holiday drinks around this time of year, and I was torn between the gingersnap latte and the peppermint moccacino. The staff said both were good, so I opted for the gingersnap latte with no regrets, it was great! I try not to have too many of these special drinks because then they become less special, but I think I'll be back this holiday season!

I generally try to avoid any kind of food vendor at the Rideau Centre, as they all have lineups and…read morethe quality seems to be lacking as a result of a relatively captive audience. This location of second cup is no different. The customer lid station is in disrepair and filthy. Chairs are damaged. Tables are wobbly causing spilled drinks. The lids all looked dirty like someone had spilled tea with milk on them.... who wants that on their drink? The drip tray was foul looking, someone needs to give it a proper cleaning. Ordered a hot black tea. Not sure why, maybe the water wasn't hot enough, but it wasn't particularly enjoyable. Service has ranged from disinterested to mediocre on the three occasions I've been here. Would i return? Hopefully not, but sometimes your desperate. Would I recommend? No. Edit 3 June, 2014, this location is closed for renovation. We'll see what happens when the reopen.
