About Second Cup

Second Cup Coffee Co.™ is Canada’s largest specialty coffee retailer. From our humble beginnings in 1975 as a kiosk in a shopping mall, selling only whole bean coffee, we have continued towards our goal of being the Canadian specialty coffee brand of choice. For us, that means putting coffee at the core of business, focusing on quality, innovation and creating an individual experience for our customers.

In addition to coffee-based beverages, Second Cup cafés carry a variety of complimentary products, including fresh locally baked goods and Better For You smoothies. Recently, we’ve introduced Pinkberry® frozen yogurt into cafés across the country and Second Cup has the exclusive rights to this category in Canada.
