### 3/5 — More coffee shop

*2026-01-04, version 2.2.0*

Why did you not reopen the second cup on Nuns Island, Verdun, Montréal, we all miss it.

### 3/5 — Payment and points

*2025-10-04, version 2.2.0*

The app used to be better when you didn’t have to scan twice to do points and the payment. Annoying for the staff and the customer.

### 2/5 — L’application ne fonctionne jamais

*2025-05-19, version 2.1.5*

Chaque fois que j’arrive au café, j’attends et attends et attends. On finit par me demander si j’ai une commande et je dois la répéter. Après trois fois, j’ai demandé qu’on m’explique, qu’on vérifie si j’entrais bien mes infos dans l’application. On m’a répondu que oui, que tout était bien fait de ma part, que ce n’était pas moi mais que « l’application ne fonctionne pas ». Hein??? Pourquoi?? Pourquoi suis-je encore en mesure de commander dans l’application si le restaurant de Laurier Québec ne reçoit jamais ma commande? Votre app sera-t-elle mise à jour?

### 2/5 — love second cup but please fix the language and offer feature

*2025-04-09, version 2.1.5*

whenever i want to see or use an offer it’s only in french, and there is no description underneath it as well… i wanted to use my free coffee offer today but apparently it only applies to brewed tea but it isn’t listed anywhere that it’s exclusively tea. very deceiving. and then when i want to order online and pickup in store i can’t add my offer to check out. please fix the app it’s very unusable and not thorough.

### 4/5 — Requested review

*2025-02-27, version 2.1.5*

This app works well, but could use a few upgrades. It would be nice to add face ID and also enable auto fill for the username or email.

### 2/5 — Errors with payment

*2025-02-14, version 2.1.5*

Tried to send a gift card and app keeps saying electronic payment doesn't work

### 3/5 — .

*2025-01-29, version 2.1.5*

Unable to pick drinks on me app avail in store or to customize a drink.

### 4/5 — Need more offers

*2024-12-01, version 2.1.5*

It’s a great app to order ahead with. wish there were more offers then I would definitely order and use the app more often.

### 5/5 — Amazing, as always

*2024-11-12, version 2.1.5*

EGGNOG LATTE SEASON!!!! Sorry, I LOVE the holiday drinks at Second Cup - although the pistachio latte has now become a very close second! My only complaint is, there doesn’t seem to be an option to tip on the app. I looked around but couldn’t seem to find it (so if it is there, making it easier to find). Your competition (I wish there were more Second Cups!!! I would never go to the “other place”) has it right in your order, accessible for 30 minutes after your order, I believe. Since it’s been VERY rare that I’ve come across bad service/product at any Second Cup it would be great to show that appreciation 🙂

### 4/5 — Chill vibes

*2024-11-05, version 2.1.5*

Nice atmosphere and friendly service however don’t go if your in a hurry because even if you order ahead of arrival they are very slow.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — As of March 1st 2026, not working at all

*2026-03-01, version 2.2.0*

As the title says, as of March 1st, 2026, the points program is not working: at multiple interactions, the cashier had to wait for 2 to 5 minutes after the scan to confirm the card and accept payment, so the user has to wait at the counter for all that time if they want to collect points. Furthermore, the scan failed independently and we had to enter my phone number, so there isn’t a point to the app, we can just use the phone number. The 2-5 minute wait problem persisted regardless.

### 1/5 — Points are not counted half the time. Scam

*2025-12-09, version 2.2.0*

It's the pitiful application that exists on Earth and beyond. One out of every two transactions isn't even recorded.

### 1/5 — Constant Payment Verification

*2025-11-04, version 2.2.0*

You know what makes me stop using an app and that business losing my patronage? Constantly having to verify my payment information so that I cannot place mobile orders on the fly. Which is the whole point of having the business app. 

You have lost my patronage.

### 1/5 — Don’t accept the AMEX payment method on the app

*2025-10-28, version 2.2.0*

Although in the store, they accept AMEX but on the app, they don't. What an inconvenience!

Second Cup, FIX IT!

### 1/5 — Account nuked with no notice

*2025-10-26, version 2.2.0*

I didn’t visit that often, but I did have enough points for a reward or 2. All gone on the last update. They changed my phone # to 555-5555 too. The location nearest my house is BRUTAL, so I’m not even mad, but that’s not the point.

### 1/5 — Cannot log in

*2025-08-25, version 2.1.5*

Keep asking you to update the app even if it is updated to continue to log in

### 1/5 — we live in hell

*2025-06-26, version 2.1.5*

you can’t look at the menu without downloading the app and making an account and then i couldn’t even online order :/

### 1/5 — Rewards card

*2025-05-19, version 2.1.5*

It is not letting me put my rewards card on it does anyone know how to do it

### 1/5 — Unable to add gift card

*2025-02-12, version 2.1.5*

Can no longer add a gift card to the app.

### 1/5 — Points are not counted half the time. Scam

*2025-01-09, version 2.1.5*

Points are not counted half the time. Scam

### 5/5 — best app ever made

*2025-11-27, version 2.2.0*

I downloaded this app, made an account, put the loyalty card in my apple wallet, and received my coffe for free, in the time it took 1 car in front of me to get their order (and my intention is to praise the app, not criticize the drive-thru)

### 5/5 — 10/10
