Great coffee, great staff and relaxing environment. There was a steady stream of customer getting their fix and obviously a couple regular patrons. The regular staff seemed to know their customers by name and were super friendly. Too early to try the pizza that also shared the space. Maybe next time. A great neighborhood coffee place!

I've been seeing some good news around HotBlack Coffee but didn't quite know exactly where it was…read more I was out for a walk when I happened by the store and decided to pop in. It's actually so much more than a coffee place which was actually super confusing to me at first. Right when you enter to the left, there was a whole wall of wine bottles to choose from. There was a sommelier that was walking a few customers through their wine selection. In the middle section of the place there looked to be an espresso bar/bakery display case and some tables. I was waved over by some friendly employees. I didn't notice a menu straightaway so I told them I was on the hunt for coffee and they produced a menu for me. Now whenever I say coffee what I'm really looking for is a latte so I went with that. You are able to advise on the milk and sugar levels here since I was asked for my preferences. I just deferred to the employee to make their best recommendation. The latte which was about a tall size at Starbucks came out to $5.98. Wowza! A bit expensive. I have to say that it was hot and delicious however. I was also barehanding the cup and it seems to be insulated enough that I didn't need a sleeve to protect myself. Another thing they specialize in appears to be pizza as we saw they had a pizza menu and per some signage, looks like they do tastings on certain days. The tastings sound super intriguing so I'd love to be able to check that out one day.

One of my favorite flavors of Keurig k-cups was on sale by the case by a large percentage here in comparison to my normal spot, absolutely love all of the options they had for everything COFFEE. To go back to Rebecca for a second, very warm, bright and absolutely welcoming. asked me about my relationship with coffee, what i like in a cup of coffee, and what brought me in today. I love the section of both Bialetti makers and Aeropress section, Aeropress has been a game change in how I make coffee at home, is a life changing experience, and everyone who even dabbles in coffee should have one (it looks like it shouldn't work, but it's fantastic) I stocked up on so much coffee that I broke Rebecca's heart when they cashed me out, taking advantage of the sale, I won't be back for a bit, but I'm telling everyone about this place can't recommend this place enough, very very good

This beautiful spot also boasts some great baristas with so much bean knowledge--ask them anything! Always a great time to chat. I have been here a few times and this time, actually stayed for a few hours to get some work done. Located in the industrial part of the Junction the space presents itself industrial but filled with warmths. When you walk in, you will see immediately a long coffee bar with various coffee machines for your pour overs, cappuchinos, espresso etc. At the far back, giant machines (roasting things perhaps), workspace for the techs (I think) and a beautiful graffiti art on the back wall. The main seating area comprises of high bar stools, a few desks area with sockets and roman theatre style steps with some tables that you can work from (also with sockets) or just chat away. There is a section in the shop that is a retain space with all the beans you can buy to go and various coffee related pieces.

Leslieville is one of my absolute favourite areas to frequent whenever I am visiting Toronto, and I…read morealways walk right past Pilot Coffee Roasters. I never actually tried it before because I was a little skeptical that it might just be hype, but I looked up their menu this morning and saw a matcha called the sticky toffee pudding matcha that caught my eye. I decided it was finally time to go in and give it a try. The interior is a gorgeous, open, and clean space that I really loved. It was quite packed inside so I could not grab a table indoors, but they still had their outdoor patio open which was fantastic. It was a bit chilly out, but still a beautiful, sunny fall day. The service completely won me over. The cashier who took my order was super nice, rocking a big smile, super friendly, and very prompt. The barista who made my drink was equally lovely, incredibly enthusiastic, and absolutely radiant. I actually gave her a compliment because some people just glow from the inside out. I took my order outside, sat down, and took my first sip of the sticky toffee pudding matcha. It was so good. It was not overly sweet at all, featuring a deeply delicious flavor that made it the perfect novelty drink. I also ordered a slice of their chocolate chip banana bread. It did not have any heavy butter or fancy toppings on it, which is normally something I would add myself at home, but it was surprisingly moist, flavorful, and delicious on its own. Normally when I visit a coffee shop I try to watch my calories, so if I get a pastry I usually only eat half and save the rest. That pastry was so freaking good that I ate the whole thing without any regrets. While I did not try an actual coffee this time around, usually if a spot can nail a specialty matcha like that, you can count on the rest of their menu being solid. Judging by how packed the place was with a steady stream of traffic coming in and out, it is clearly a great spot. The clean, modern look, open layout, lovely lighting, and prime view of Queen Street East for people watching make it a total winner. Easily a five out of five experience. I will definitely no longer walk past it, and when I am hanging out in Leslieville, this is officially going to be my go to spot. Sorry to my other regular favorites, but I am hooked.

I like that their cookies are on the thick side (rather than flat), so your get a crispy outside and chewy inside. There's wifi available and some outlets too.

I mentioned I had never bought beans here before and the woman at the front immediately asked what I would be using to make the coffee (a French Press in this case) and suggested the Brazilian as it holds up well with this type of coffee maker.

We got a matcha latte with oat milk, cappuccino, and the breakfast sandwich w smoked salmon (forgot the name). Matcha latte was great, I loved that they clarified whether I wanted sweetened or unsweetened. Sometimes cafes serve them sweetened without me realizing. It's not super crazy high quality but it's definitely better than most cafes. I only had a sip of the cappuccino but I could tell my mom didn't love it. It's just on the fruitier side so it tasted more sour and not creamy/smooth (which is what my mom prefers). Depends on your preference. She really liked the latte art though and didn't want to ruin it by drinking it! The sandwich was big and delicious. There's a hint of dill flavor which paired well with the salmon. I could tell my mom liked it. The cafe itself has a few tables and high top counter seating, as well as seating outside. There's two restrooms in the back. They seem to bake everything in house and it smelled wonderful as they brought stuff out the oven. Loved the all female staff!
