I am soooo glad I was introduced to Second Cup. Bit hard to find, tucked away by the Hilton, but conveniently close to the lifts and bike park. Look for Lululemon as Second Cup is right next door. In the summer they provide outdoor entertainment. Bring your laptop as they have free WiFi indoors.

Love their cold Hot Chocolates, and Chai London Fog (which I think should be re-named Mumbai Fog). I've never been a coffee drinker, so to find a coffee shop that satisfies my cravings is wonderful. The staff are great too in Whistler - bubbly and you almost think they are mistaking you for someone else they know because they are so genuinely friendly. Someone knows how to hire the right staff.

I often have their muffins - love the carrot, zucchini and raisin with walnuts on top. There's always newsapers to read, and comfy leather benches.

Only problem - place needs a renovation. Tiles falling off, paint peeled, bit outdated colours. Sounds like management knows, but great thing is it doesn't hold staff back from ensuiring you have a welcoming and relaxing time there.
