Effective November 29, 2010 guests can purchase a limited edition $3 gift card (while supplies last), and a contribution in appreciation of gift card purchases will be donated to the Salvation Army” (Salvation Army). Second Cup was very proud to partner up with the Salvation Army to help individuals in need.

                   Another charity that Second Cup donated to during the holidays was the Edmonton Food Bank. “Second Cup locations across the capital region have stepped up to show their Turkey Drive spirit in a big way. Around twenty franchise stores will have donation jars in their stories for the length of the campaign” (CBC News). All of the proceeds of the jars were donated to the food bank.

Pumpkin Spice Latte

                   

(MTV)

                    For many individuals, their fall favorite specialty drink is Second Cup’s Pumpkin Spice Latte.  Their drink is “a deliciously creamy latte that tastes just like pumpkin pie with a hint of nutmeg” (Second Cup).

                    At the beginning of September of each year, Second Cup releases their highly anticipated drink of the year. Due to the drinks popularity, they have also created an Iced version of the fall favorite drink.

                   In a personal opinion, Second Cup’s Pumpkin Spice Latte is my favorite drink. The baristas always make the perfect drink. Another thing that I personally enjoy about Second Cup’s fall drink is that during the month of October, Second Cup offers their fall drink for just $2.95 in Ontario on Latte Tuesday’s.

Questions:

Is the pumpkin spice latter your favorite fall drink?

Do you enjoy the Latte Tuesday’s?

Do College and University students prefer Second Cup?

                   

(Second Cup Canada)

                   Every post secondary student has experienced the all-nighter’s trying to complete his or her assignment or to study for a test. In order to stay awake, many students drink coffee to have energy. “According to recent studies, over 100 million cups are consumed in the United States every day. A study conducted by the NPD Group also discovered that from 2002 to 2012 there was an increase to 14% of 18 to 24 year olds drinking coffee” (Miranda, T).

                   All these students all over the world are drinking, and the majority of them are enjoying Second Cup drinks. Due to the variety of drinks offered at Second Cup, students get to decide what drink they want for their event. For example, some students may want an iced coffee on a nice warm day while studying underneath a tree, however, another student may want a triple shot espresso from Second Cup to study late at night or for an early morning.

                   Many students prefer to drink Second Cup to any other specialty coffee café. The staff welcomes customers and takes pride in their drinks. In addition, the layout of the café sets a at home and comfortable environment.

                   Due to all these wonderful traits of Second Cup, it was chosen as post secondary’s students favorite café.
