I was staying at the Hilton Toronto and was looking for a nice cafe nearby. I found HotBlack on Yelp and made my way towards it. This is a charming coffee shop (that apparently has been featured a lot) where you can get a good caffeinated drink and/or some baked goods. I really didn't know what I wanted so the nice barista talked me through some drinks and I ended up going with the Russian Tea (Earl Grey tea infused with apricot jam). It was unique tasting and good. I like how they have a little wagon to do some local deliveries. I also like their hanging menu. If I worked in downtown T-Dot, I'd definitely be frequenting this joint. read more
