It’s bold. It’s rich. It’s velvety. Yup, it’s Second Cup’s Flat White that I told you about last week: a coffee with its origins in Australia, featuring a double shot of signature Second Cup Espresso Forte, paired with steamed milk and a very thin layer of micro foam. The Second Cup Flat White is the perfect balance of espresso and velvety steamed milk with a robust, intensely rich flavour and smooth consistency and it’s now available at Second Cup locations across Canada. Second Cup is the first national specialty coffee retailer to add the Flat White to its menu and now it’s being served fresh from a one-of-a-kind Piaggio truck in Toronto this weekend.
That’s right – this weekend Torontonians will be able to sample the Flat White for themselves, served out of this cute Piaggio truck
Where: Second Cup, 355 Danforth Avenue, Toronto, ON
When: Saturday, September 20, 2014 1:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, September 21, 2014 1:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
The Flat White Piaggio truck will travel across the country throughout September and October 2014. Visit Second Cup on Facebook and follow them on Twitter @secondcup (#espressoloversrejoice #flatwhite) for up to date information on the Piaggio’s location.

Congrats Tiff who won my Dinner in 30 Minutes or Less giveaway – I’ve sent you an email!
I’ve had about ten flat whites since they launched, and my are they delicious. A new favourite, for sure. Thanks for putting me on to them, Mardi! I finally understand what all of my coffee snob friends (love ’em) were on about!
I haven’t tried one yet but I absolutely have to. I always get the irish cream coffee at second cup and I love it, but the pics of the flat white online have left me hankerin for one…
Thanks for sharing this! I’ve been missing flat whites since I left Australia 3 years ago 🙂
Something new! I don’t think we have one here. Catherine
Too cute! I have to see about moving to Canada!
I have never tried nor heard of a flat white before but I am so tempted down, it sounds delish! Thanks for the great giveaway 🙂

I’ve heard of it but having never been to Australia, have never tried it. With espresso and steamed milk, it’s sure to be delicious.
I would like to try Flat White because it sounds like it would give me the jolt I need in the morning
I’d like to to taste the Flat White because I love espresso and all coffee drinks. Sounds good.
Cheers.
