It was busy, but not overwhelming at all. It's a great spot to sit and get work done if you're planning to stay for a while. I got the cinnamon sugar cookie and an iced vanilla latte and both were delicious. The latte was made really well and the cookie was perfectly baked and so good. The space itself is small and cozy, with cute Christmas decorations up. There isn't a ton of seating, but it's enough for the cafe. The service was great overall. They didn't have a huge staff, but it worked perfectly for how busy it was. Everyone was efficient, kind, and welcoming. I'd definitely come back!

We ordered some coffees and muffins to eat in and chat. Most of the tables were full when we got in, however, we were able to snag a table for four. I enjoyed the variety of baked items in store. The prices were quite reasonable as well. After ordering the staff give you a number and bring the food to your table! The coffee was great! (Caramel Latte) and the muffin was tasty also. I will definitely return if I'm in the neighborhood.

Skylights are also a nice touch and make the space feel more airy. There's a good selection of pastries and cookies available, and I'd highly recommend the ginger brew coffee! As a heads up, they don't have wifi - but this is a good spot for doing offline work (some counters are too small for a laptop but would work for a book) or having coffee and talking.

Ordered: 8oz Iced Mint Brew Latte (~$6 CAD)…read more Aya's take: I've heard good things about HotBlack Coffee and decided to try it while we were in the area. My eyes immediately gravitated to the Iced Mint Brew Latte. It sounded like a Mint Mojito from Philz Coffee (iykyk) and I was excited to try it. Unfortunately, it was such a let down! First of all, it looked & tasted watery. It didn't have that creamy texture you would expect from a latte. Second, I asked the barista if they use cold brew or espresso and was told they can do either. I requested espresso but I don't know if they gave me that or if it was just made wrong. It was bitter with hints of mint but even that wasn't pleasant. If I ever come back, I'd probably just stick to a regular iced latte.

Checked out this place when I was looking for nearby cafe that was open a little later (many cafes…read morein the area close around 7 but this one was open till 9!) The inside has a great layout/design and there is plenty of seating available inside. Service was great as well! We ordered: - Bear Coffee Latte - Hazelnut Muffin The latte was yummy (I liked the whipped cream on too with the biscuit crumbles). The muffin was also really good. I liked that it was really moist (would have loved it if there was just some more chocolate hazelnut flavour throughout the muffin instead of just at the bottom and a bit on top). Will definitely be back to try some of the other flavours! It's a great spot to enjoy some drinks/snacks and hangout with friends or chill solo. Will definitely be back!

Roosters is one of my favourite coffee chains in Toronto - but this location ain't it. It sucks…read morethat it's so close to home too, because I thought I'd be here everyday but I've been even leaning more towards starbucks than this. The coffee is actually good - the lattes, americanos etc. The honey ginger latte is honestly amazing, it's been a fave of mine for almost 10 years now, when I first had it at the bloor/sherbourne location. I'll say their drinks are always consistent. The interior is also very homey, love the vibe and decor of this place, especially the comfy couch in the back. It''s a cute place for a sip! The staff here are just so dry, it ruins the coffee experience for me. They're just so 'gen z staff' coded with their empty stares, no expression and like buying a coffee and supporting the biz is bothering them or taking up their time. Those tiktoks that make fun of niche coffee baristas giggling amongst themselves and then instantly turning to the counter with zero warmth - that is this place to a tee. I think out of all the times I've been here, there's been one nice staff (the asian girl) and everyone else has just been so uninviting. From the cashier experience all the way to waiting for your drink, you feel uncomfortable and like you're begging for a favour even though YOU'RE PAYING AND THE MACHINE IS gOiNg tO aSk YoU a FeW qUeStIoNs! and trust me, tip or no tip, that has not changed the attitude of the staff. If you look up the negative reviews on google, you'll see exactly who is the rudest and l o l, the way I'm talking about the exact same people. Anyways... do better, please.

The space is inviting and airy with plenty of sunshine, and indoor and outdoor seating. They offer coffee drinks, pastries and sandwiches. Since we wanted to explore, we ordered iced lattes and a (seasonal) blueberry earl grey scone to go. The service was fast and friendly, and the lattes were quite good. The scone was delicious and plentiful, albeit a bit too sweet for my taste. I can see myself going back if living in the area.

I was really excited to try this place but unfortunately it was underwhelming. First the ambience:…read morethe space itself is cute but they don't allow anyone to sit inside with computers. It's apparently "laptop free". This feels like a silly arbitrary rule, especially when it's 100 degrees outside. I'm not deducting points for that, but like... let people sit inside and get a little work done. The staff were friendly, so no complaints there. The coffee itself was just.... not delicious. I watched the barista accidentally pour a little bit of frothed milk in my cup and didn't think to start the drink over. Instead he put cold milk on top of now melting ice and served it to me. The ice melting meant the drink was watery and the espresso was acidic. The vanilla flavor was non existent. It was a warm mess and poor excuse for an iced latte. We are in an affordability crisis and people are spending their hard earned money to treat themselves to coffee outside of their home. These businesses should put a little more care into what they're serving and ensure there's quality control. Don't rush the drinks, pay attention to what you're doing, and have a little pride in service.

The cafe is pretty small on the inside, a few floating bar seats near the front window, a couple cushioned chairs/ benches and a few tables with chairs near the front door and counter. Seating was all fairly close to each other. Although, there is a good amount of sitting area on the outside. The cashiers are friendly and the baristas know how to make good lattes, that's for sure. I will definitely be back to try other items on their menu, and get another coffee drink!
