Why Locals Love Second Cup Café
Nestled in the heart of Sherwood Park, Second Cup Café at 390 Baseline Rd #190 offers more than just your average coffee run—it’s a welcoming haven for coffee lovers craving quality, flavor, and a genuine Canadian coffee experience. This locally owned gem prides itself on delivering richly brewed, full-flavored coffee that stands out distinctly from the more ubiquitous chains. As one satisfied customer, Monique Gogich, put it, “Best coffee, friendly service, not Starbucks-level pretentious,” capturing the essence of what makes this café a community favorite.
Beyond exceptional coffee, Second Cup Café tempts visitors with a delicious array of baked goods that are crafted to delight the palate. Imagine unwrapping a moist, rich Iced Fudge Brownie bar, its deep chocolate notes melting in your mouth, or indulging in the “Monster Brownie,” an irresistible layered concoction combining white chocolate, dark chocolate, and tropical coconut flakes for a decadent twist. If you’re in the mood for something lighter but equally satisfying, the Breakfast Dairy-free Cookie, gluten-friendly and packed with 10 grams of protein, provides the perfect guilt-free treat to power your day.
The café’s menu also boasts traditional favorites with a comforting touch: the sweet-tart burst of the Blueberry Muffin and the perfectly balanced Bagel & Cream Cheese, which together pair flawlessly with their expertly brewed coffee selections. These offerings complement an inviting atmosphere designed for connection and relaxation—cozy chairs beckon you to settle in with friends or soak in some quiet contemplation without ever feeling rushed. Frequent visitor Shannon Doyle attests to this ambiance, sharing how she and her special someone "gravitate to comfy chairs for hours of chatting," capturing the genuine warmth and welcoming vibe that Second Cup Café cultivates.
The friendly and attentive staff deserve special mention, with numerous customers highlighting standout service moments. From speedy, cheerful drive-thru window interactions to perfectly crafted beverages, the team’s commitment to quality and courtesy shines through consistently. LeeAnne Kermode raves about the attentive service and well-designed eco-friendly packaging, emphasizing how the café outshines competitors not only in price but also in thoughtful customer care.
Whether you’re seeking a familiar spot to energize your mornings, a cozy nook to linger for an afternoon coffee break, or a reliable drive-thru stop for your caffeine fix, Second Cup Café combines great taste, genuine service, and an authentic Canadian spirit that invites you to savor every moment.

Firstly, Canadian owned company so always bonus points for this. Our order was $2 cheaper here than S.Bucks and had MUCH more flavour. Another bonus...plastic straws!!. No soggy toxic glue and cardboard in your drink gets extra stars. Service was really friendly. To the owner of this site, please update your speaker system and drive thru menu. The speaker quality is awful for both server and customer making it hard to ensure orders are correct and the outdoor menu is hard to read through the weathered/yellowed film.

Best coffee, friendly service, not Starbucks-level pretentious. Debit doesn't auto-guilt you into tipping 20% for a cup of coffee so you feel good about leaving some change in the tip jar. I wish there were more of them.

Second Cup is a favourite location when I meet a very special person for coffee. The coffee's consistently great and the comfy chairs are where we gravitate to for hours of chatting. We never feel rushed.

The girls at the window do a great job, prompt and friendly, serving a fresh cup of coffee.

Lovely view of the Staples, which I had heard was moving, but then remembered it can't, because it's stationary.
