Love this place. Perfect if you want to just grab and go or if you want to come and sit and enjoy your coffee there. The staff is super friendly and I always feel welcome when Im there.

Second Alarm is a really cool place. Everything inside for decoration, is meaningful. The coffee was really good, the service was VERY good. They have a conference room you can rent out if you need a place to meet! Its a super cozy, warm, community-type place.

Great coffee, very friendly place. You can tell the owner takes a lot of pride in what he has created and is doing. It’s a welcoming environment for everyone. Also great first responder support.

Drove by first time and the parking lot was PACKED! Went to the store and drove back by and there was one spot open - so of course I took it. Got the Toasted Marshmallow Latte because I saw so many raving about it. I was definitely NOT disappointed. I will be back again. Delicious

Staff is very warm and friendly. We saw their toasted marshmallow lattes in the paper and had to try it out. 5/5, very yummy, very cozy interior.

This is the coolest coffee bar and pub in Maryland. The atmosphere is a combination of firehouse museum and friendly meeting area. On top of that, money raised goes to fund volunteer fire stations around the state. Try the house coffee and the peach, blueberry and honey smoothie as they are both straight fire!

Awesome place! I have been 2 days in a row now! Drinks are great! I got the white mocha. The staff is extremely friendly and explained to me the history and decor of the place...everything firefighter!! Great space inside, lounge area w sofas, tables for work spaces, and they even have a great conference room you can rent by the hour! The decor is awesome! Extremely unique and great way to use this space! Definitely worth a stop in!!

The inside decor is excellent and great for working on your laptop. The bad was the guy gave me a two semi smashed cups with a lid that popped off as soon as I touched it and hot coffee spilled on me. The same happened again in my truck spilling everywhere again. The coffee was o.k. I do like where the profits go and I will try it again soon.

Great coffee! I love that it’s not overly sweet like other coffee shops... and the coffee to buy and brew at home is probably the best I’ve had in a while!

The coffee easily rivals Starbucks and the fact that they give funds to the volunteer firefighters is a win/win. Great staff and atmosphere! Love this place!

Love this place!!!!Atmosphere: Morning coffee shop/ friendly atmosphere. Fire service related items throughout the building definitely spark my interest. Cool stuff to look at and read while enjoying my cup of cider and eating my breakfast.Products: My favorite drink here is the Apple Cider and my favorite snack is their chocolate chip muffin. Their products are on point! Fresh, local sourced products that are environmentally friendly.I hope everyone can take a moment to stop by for a cup of coffee or tea, and experience it for themselves!

Lets be upfront here... I do *not* like coffee. I really cant emphasize enough how much coffee doesnt appeal to me even in the slightest. Even a few years in the military couldnt get me to like the stuff.But... But.. but, my girlfriend likes coffee. So there we were, 10 miles in to a 12 mile bicycle ride, and she was hungry and dangerously undercaffienated.See where this is going? We had been discussing places to sit down and eat - you know, to avoid our respective kids a little longer. And then we got to the SABH.We had seen the place plenty of times before, and thought maybe we should pop in sometime. Well, here we were, and the real big question was do they serve food, too?I stuck my head in, and this was quickly answered- why yes, they do!It was a cozy place, not too crowded, and we had a decent breakfast sammich while we totally cooled down from our ride.4 stars for making the last 2 miles hurt.

I dropped my wife and daughter here for coffee on Christmas day. They wanted to support a local business and try something new. They said the staff was nice and the place was clean and inviting. My wife said the coffee was better than Starbucks and probably equil to DD.

We’ve been wanting to stop by for a coffee for weeks now and finally stopped in today. We were so impressed! We were greeted so warmly by the staff and they were eager to answer questions about the coffee, firefighters, decor, etc. We couldn’t stay and enjoy the atmosphere while we drank our brews (the best decaf coffee I’ve ever had) but will definitely plan to do so next time. I’m excited to have a new local go-to coffee place for our family to visit on the weekends!

There is not better place then Second Alarm for your coffee. Their delicious beverages, excellent breakfast sandwiches, awesome customer service, and great location add up to the best place around. Oh, and dont forget a great mission to support volunteer firefighters. You should be giving them your business ASAP.

My sister heard of this place from her neighbor. So we decided to try it out and you won’t be disappointed at all! The coffee’s with marshmallow in it were very, very good and I’m sure any other flavor you want to add to your coffee would be the same. We also had the sausage, egg and cheese sandwich and it was delicious! The bun was very fresh. We also had the French toast muffin, which was also very delicious and fresh! I didn’t think I could eat everything, but I couldn’t stop eating it, it was that good! We will both definitely order from here again!! Thank you!!

My daughter and I stopped in on Saturday to try them out....WOW! We were so shocked by the warm welcome from the staff and were even more surprised with how good the coffee was. We also order breakfast sandwiches and they were delicious. Great job to the staff here and we will be coming back.

I LOVE this place. It is my home away from home!Everything about it is so unique and wonderful. Duane, the owner, is a true first responder hero. He runs this place to raise awareness for the AA County Volunteer Fire Companies while still serving as a volunteer fireman for Riviera Beach VFC. The coffee and tea are both from Maryland companies and are both phenomenal! His teas are honestly the best teas I have ever had.The meeting space is wonderful and the WiFi is Crazy Fast - 200/200!Duane and his staff are super friendly and keep the place spotless! Duane also has excellent air purification and sanitization equipment running all the time.Visit this place once and you too will be a fan!

An absolutely incredible experience. The decor is amazing, the food hit the spot and the coffee is the best in the area. They also only serve one size, large, “because it’s America.” Support your first responders, support this coffee shop, thank you guys!

Closes at 2pm? People drink coffee all day. I will never understand why some of these businesses have such short/temporary hrs. If I owned a business I would be sure to cater to all people with different, daily schedules. Good luck!
