Favorite coffee shop franchise

Although I prefer local cafes, Second Cup is my favorite nation-wide coffee shop. Second Cup has several advantages over both McCafe and Tim Hortons:
- Offers non-dairy milk alternatives
- Offers flavored coffee (Butter Pecan and Belgian Chocolate are my FAVORITES!)
- Is Canadian-owned (founded in Toronto, based in Mississauga)
In addition, 80% of Second Cup's coffees are Rainforest Alliance Certified, and while I do enjoy Starbucks on occasion, Second Cup provides a much better value.

I absolutely love Second Cup; it is my go-to cafe/coffee shop. The service is always outstanding, the quality of the food and beverages are great and I love that it is a Canadian company. The prices are on par with other specialty coffee places and I find the quality of their items exceed many others. I love their seasonal menus and am constantly pleased with their new menu items.

A coworkers family runs one of the local second cups and so i often will visit for coffee, all the bevergaes i have had there i have absolutely loved!!
