The sign on Queen street proclaims that Hot Black serves the best coffee ever. Does it live up to the proclamation? It sort of does.The coffee itself is good but perhaps not the best ever. However, if you take some time to appreciate the homely atmosphere and talk to the friendly staff as you sip your coffee, you'll appreciate it even more.

Not wheelchair accessible, difficult to get in the door and there’s no room to maneuver and only high tables, no low accessible tables. Can’t review anything else as we didn’t get a chance to visit because there was no place for a wheelchair user to eat.Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible, difficult to get in the door and there’s no room to maneuver and only high tables, no low accessible tables.

Good cappuccino. Probably not the best in town, but totally passable. Delicious breakfast cookie.

The coffee is so smooth. The back patio is nice, though be warned that, at least in winter, the firepit isn't there.

As a former Starbucks barista, there aren't that many tastes of coffee that I'm not familiar with ,and I usually enjoy my coffee one sip at the time to make it last longer. However, I have to admit the taste of ginger latte at the HotBlack is an out of the world experience that is extremely pleasantly surprising. It was so good I couldn't drink it slowly as I usually do ,and I drink the entire cup in less than 5 min.I would say if you are around and you have 5 min to have a unique experience of lifetime go here and order a ginger latte ☕

This coffee place is a treasure of Toronto. The kindest owner and staff. Thank you HotBlack Coffee, to more years of successful business! ☕️
Looks like a hole in the wall, but not only does it feel bigger inside, but the warm Atmosphere, coffe and wonder people make it even better.

I really wanted to like this cafe but the chai latte was bland (the latte was too milky, so the chai flavour was weak). The raspberry jam cookie was great though. I liked the vibe of the place but probably won't come back. Limited seating is available.

Checking out the 'best coffee in town'! Cappuccino verdict: good, not extraordinary. Loved the anti-work, pro-chat vibe of the place. Plus the cup's color play is a visual treat!
