Perfect for bringing in the evening, Second Cup in Islamabad is made of all things picturesque. 

With calm dark and light brown decor, the moment you step inside, it calms your nerves. They have an impressive menu for coffee, cakes, cold coffee, and smoothies.

Burning Brownie

This warm and cozy cafe is perhaps one of the best places to sip on a great cup of coffee. 

The cafe smells like heaven and the charming interior will make you return again and again. Go here on chilly evenings or get here early for breakfast. 

Whether you want to bring your date here, or just want to have a girls day out, this place covers all your needs. 

Their menu is generous and plenty of stuff to munch on. I’d say try their chocolate mud cake and Latte if you ever get around this cafe.
