Second Cup Classic Hot Chocolate!

Hey there my lovely cups of hot cocoa!


Why hot cocoa you ask? This week I visited the newly improving Second Cup. I'm not sure if you all know about this, but they are currently having a hot chocolate contest! All you have to do to enter is (1) try their hot chocolate (2) rate their hot chocolate 1-5 (and seeing as I already do that on a weekly basis, I thought why not?).

I went into the Second Cup location the ambiance was really awesome and cozy, they location had a lot of customers (mostly students doing their homework). Their store colours were mostly dark browns, red and gold.  I felt like Second Cup had a very Canadian feel to it, which is very refreshing for a Canadian franchise. I walked up to the cash, where the barista asked me what I wanted, she proceeded by asking me which size I'd prefer (a small, I'm not typically a fan of hot chocolate) she smiled as she waited for me to give her the money. (1 Bean Point)

I then went to the "pick up" side of the coffee bar, where there was a different barista. That barista was so sweet! As soon as she saw me, she flashed me a big smile and asked me how I was doing and if I had ever tried their hot chocolate before. (1 Bean Point)

Now is the moment of truth. The second barista gave me my hot chocolate; and let me just say (coming from someone who literally never drinks hot chocolate) this hot chocolate was AWESOME! I give them a full 5/5 for flavour. It was just so rich and chocolatey, I also tasted a hint of coconut; but that could have just been my lip gloss (LOL). (1 Bean Point)

The Second Cup location I visited was right across the street from a Target store (which is where I was before I had my awesome hot chocolate). The location, I believe, is in a prime spot. (1 Bean Point) 

The price you ask? $2.75, aka perfecto. (1 Bean Point)

Now it's time for the run-down:

Flavour: 1 bean point

Price: 1 bean point

Ambiance: 1 bean point

Drive-Thru: 1 bean point

Customer Service: 1 bean point

Total Score: 5/5 total bean points!

I was overall so happy with you Second Cup, I really had some hard feelings from my previous visit and was nervous because the trust between us had been broken. I am now very happy to say that I am ready to start building our relationship of trust and mutual understanding. This coffee-chick, aka a girl who prefers salt over sweets, thinks that your hot chocolate was amazing. I will be back very soon, maybe tomorrow? ;-)
