If I lived in Toronto, I'd never go to a Starbucks when I could get a better cup of coffee at Second Cup.

At church today, the speaker made a starbucks joke....

Said, the name would be more accurate, if they called it "FiveBucks"

Hope you met up with your GTG.

As for Second Cup, the name would be more accurate if they called it "Second Choice"

Oh snap!

I'll take Starbucks over second cup as well.... But neither compares to "bridgehead" if you're ever in Ottawa!

Timmies, Second Cup and Starbucks are total rubbish!!

If you're downtown Toronto; check out Jimmy's Coffee on Portland/King, or
Manic on College/Bathurst, or any Dark Horse location!

We recently moved to the boonies on the Westend, so now my only choice for
proper coffee is Fair Grounds on Lakeshore/Brown's Line (still a bit of a drive
from the house but I take the Porsche so it's all good!)
