    I've been here first time yesterday.I'm happy to found Cappuccino with really foam on the top.I believed that they have it because I saw ''Italian Coffee''  on a board in front of shop's then it was.
    The Shop has decorated cute European taste.
    Separate washroom with Man&Woman.
    There are TV,some big table for group.
    Artists works on the wall.

    I had nice talk with friendly staff.
    They have fun for eyes and tasty.

    I can definitely do a Coffee crawl along Roncesvalles and get perky from drinking coffees from all these coffee shops....

    Roncy's Bean was not as busy as the Alternative Ground just south of it so I decided to order a Americano ($1.90) to stay. Price is decent when I just paid the same for a drip coffee just up the road at Starbucks. Barista is friendly, asked me to have a seat and deliver the coffee to my table.

    There is also a little fireplace with armchairs at the back of the shop, great to chill out with friends and maybe my friend can watch the sport channel while I daydream?!

    I was just short of blown away by the quality of service, and the coffee. I'm surprised to see some low reviews.
    Had a drip, which was possibly the best coffee I've had (not an uber coffee freak, but I like a damn fine cup of coffee).
    Someone I was with ordered an espresso, which I had to try. It was awesome; rich, smooth, good texture and flavour.
    As for their service, after about 10 mins of conversation, a man, (whom I assume to be the owner) gave us all a free round!
    Oh, and free WiFi.

    This new business is located in the former Second Cup. It opened in early December. It is in a good location, and seems to be an improvement over the previous coffee shop that was once here year's ago.

    The atmosphere is alright, but the owners obviously utilized much of the former Second Cup's decor. If you are going here to write your latest masterpiece on Yelp! you may need to fully charge your batteries, as there did not appear to be an abundance of power outlets in the place.

    The Americano I ordered was good, but not a good as some of the more specialized places, if that's the correct description, like Lit or Capital Cafes. next time I will try their drip coffee, which seems to be their speciality.

    Good place to people watch, as it has three tables that face Roncesvalles . Good addition to the area.

    I'm confused by this place. Wandered in one day to check it out... wha??? where am I?? Am I at Pearson? Because this coffee place feels like a coffee place in an airport. It's that boring, that drab, and has that many "pastries" that look frozen, week old, and are wrapped in cellophane. The decor is just terrible. There are TVs. Oui. And the biggest, weirdest thing? Took me awhile to figure it out.... THIS IS THE FIRST COFFEE PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN TO THAT DIDN'T EVEN SMELL LIKE COFFEE. It was very disturbing. I wish them well, I'm glad that there is a "local" biz in this spot again, but it doesn't feel local, just plain and generic. Maybe the older people in the neighborhood will like this place? But if that's the case, why not just make it a Tim's?

    The old Second Cup location, I think. It's still got that feel on the inside, much less like the new indie-coffee shops in the city (woody, long counters, and reallllly cool barristas). Americano was 2$ flat and fairly bland (using a roaster from Oakville, I believe). My favorite part was the orange juice machine you see all the time in Europe but not so much here. That orange juice was awesome.

    The coffee here is not great and the service very indifferent. I know this place used to be a second cup and it still feels like a second cup, totally bland.
