HotBlack Coffee

A charming little spot that's nice for a quick stop on a rainy day 🩵 The oat latte was deliciously strong, and the friendly barista made the experience even better. Just a heads-up—they don't accept cash, which is understandable for staff safety and the drinks are on the pricier side for their size. Worth a visit if it’s on your way!

It's a very small and hard-to-see shop that you may easily miss when you are passing it. But in case you didn't، you will taste one of the best coffee in Toronto. There is no place to sit، just grab and go. They also have an egg breakfast sandwich that is worth testing. This is the reason that people say size does not matter. Some people say!!

Unfortunately, they don't accept cash. I don't know how they can refuse to accept cash. The cashier who informed me was nice and friendly but I was shocked that I couldn't get a latte because I didn't have a credit card or debit card with me. 'cash not accepted' How is this allowed?! Since I wasn't able to purchase anything, it led me Three Doors Down to a Cafe that accepted cash and where I enjoyed their lovely latte.

Guess what I got here. I got RIPPED OFF! 10$ for a small cold brew and an oat cookie! Wtf! I guess I just paid for their next As Seen On TV appearance. The coffee too was.... Bleugh. It had a Spice aftertaste and not in the good way. Should have just got a tiny drip coffee and ran away from this literal hole in the wall before they charge for sniffing the aroma.

I was looking for vegan treats after eating vegan Indian meal in the neighbourhood, and noticed that this cute little coffee shop had some. I appreciate that the treats were displayed in the window, where they take your order and give you the food. This is a take-out only coffee shop. So, the vegan treats available at that time were: 1. Strawberry oat bar 2. Beet chocolate loaf 3. Banana bread (vegan & gluten free) 4. Date square I purchased one of each and they were nice. My favourite was the strawberry oat bar. It was chewy, sweet with a bit of tang and ginger flavour. Second favourite was the Beet chocolate bar, it was like a brownie, dense but soft and chocolatey. The banana bread was a a bit dry, due to it being gluten free, and it tasted very mild. It was okay. The date bar was underwhelming. It was not as sweet as I was expecting; it tasted rather flat. The crumbs on the date square were on the saltier side. Overall, I am grateful they have vegan treats options 😊

Tiny little window coffee shop with amazing Raspberry Jam Cookies! Flat white and cappuccino are really nice. I wish there was a place to sit down to actually enjoy all these good things but other than that this is a must try place

We enjoyed stopping by this coffee shop while we were biking around Toronto. We got stuck in the rain, so we had to stand under the overhang, but it was still worth it. Great service—the barista let us try some tasty cold brew!

Momi and her team are amazing, always can count on a yummy cup of coffee and sourdough bread! Stopped by for takeout brunch on the weekend by Gerry and Mandy, also delicious. Able to keep it fancy with the brunch to go meals during these covid times
