Word on the street
What locals are saying
The Black Door Cafe, located inside the Mills House Hotel at Queen & Meeting, draws mixed reactions: regulars and visitors consistently praise the cozy atmosphere, friendly named baristas, and decent coffee/pastries (especially the chocolate croissant and chicken biscuit), but a recurring complaint is that prices feel high for what you get and menu prices posted in-store don't always match what's charged. It reads more as a hotel-adjacent neighborhood spot than a destination local coffee shop, with food quality described as inconsistent.
