HotBlack Coffee

One of my favourite coffee shops downtown. Always can identify the cafe by the red trim and red door. Espresso is strong with a smooth taste. Iconic black cups with red top. Love the under counter espresso machines, gives it a clean look. Staff are always pleasant and friendly. Pastries are home made. My favourite is the "jam cookie", sweet jam in the center with a not too sweet surrounding cookie. Makes my day better every time I get it. Somewhere to check out for all coffee lovers near and far. I'm happy it still stayed open and made it during the pandemic.

The best latte in my short time in Toronto. The steamed milk was marshmellowy in texture, silky smooth and gave the drink a hint of sweetness. The espresso part had almost no bitterness and tasted like it came from high-quality beans. Loved it!

Well who knew a Vanilla Latte and a Pistachio Brazilian Chocolate could make me come back to this place several times in a week? Absolutely brilliant coffee, the sweetest staff members, and a great environment to chill/ study/ catch up with friends/ or even gather your thoughts! Highly recommended Ohh and you have to try the Brazilian chocolate!

Consistently good coffee, also a great place to pick up beans for your own at-home brewing. The back patio is always a nice nook away from the buzz just steps away. Non dairy beverages for your drinks are available.

the latte was great but $8 for a small cup is quite expensive. they had some nice seating areas though, extended in the back and patio space when it's weather permitting.

My go to cafe whenever I'm in Toronto! Amazing place, staff are friendly and their fresh made sourdough bread with homemade jam is DELICIOUS! I tried the Russian tea for the first time today as a suggestion and I'm so glad I did! It was perfect! Dietary restrictions: Had GF & plant based options

A cosy little coffee place. Latte was nice. They have interesting pastry and chocolate, a little backyard, and a nice big washroom.

Great coffee. Inside has some seating but it's usually busy. There is a cosy back patio space with 4 picnic tables.

Went in expecting a good experience due to the glowing reviews, but was ultimately disappointed. My breakfast sandwich was dry, they were out of oat milk, business was slow this time of day but I waited for 15 minutes for my cappuccino because they "didn't find me" in the outside patio. When I finally got my drink the glass rim was very clearly chipped. The café itself is beautiful, but this was a miss.

Excellent egg & cheese toast... Delicious vanilla latte... Friendly staff, excellent service... The food was too delicious to take a photo of before I ate them... Sorry...
