“ I go here once a week usually. Love the staff, so friendly. The food selection, from sweet to savoury, carnivore to herbivore, has something for everyone. Simple table and chair eating arrangements offer options for every need. Easily located on way to and from airport. It is pricey, especially compared to southern prices, but it’s the best cafe for thousands of kilometres around, and further! (You don’t have to tip if you don’t want to; just bypass that option.) ”
“ Cozy little cafe. Food selection is great, decor is aesthetically pleasing. If I could give this place 10/10 I would. ”

About
Black Heart Cafe
Welcome to Black Heart Cafe, a hidden gem nestled in Iqaluit, NU. Located at 1405 Masak Ct, this quaint establishment has gained a loyal following for its cozy atmosphere and tantalizing menu. Whether you're passing through on your way to the airport or stopping in for a local brunch, Black Heart offers an inviting space where everyone feels at home.
As food reviewers of Foodjoyy, we are particularly drawn to the exceptional range of offerings at Black Heart Cafe, from their expertly crafted espresso classics to their innovative Pci bowls. The Espresso is a must-try, rich in flavor at just CA$4.50, while the Cappuccino at CA$5.75 provides the perfect balance of coffee and foam. If you’re craving something unique, the Danny Devito—with its pleasant hint of humor in its name—should not be overlooked.
Moving beyond coffee, the Pci bowls showcase a fusion of creativity and nutrition. With options like Ahi Tuna and Char Gravlax, every bite is a testament to the cafe’s commitment to quality ingredients. For those leaning towards vegetarian delights, the Tofu bowl presents a hearty, satisfying alternative.
Customer reviews echo the sentiments we share. One patron, Em Hofstede, noted the café's friendly staff and eclectic food selection, praising its versatility for every taste—from the carnivore to the herbivore. The beautifully designed interiors contribute to a relaxed dining experience, making each visit as comforting as the last.
However, it is essential to keep in mind that Black Heart Cafe operates on a unique schedule that sometimes sees their kitchen sporadically opening and closing. But for the discerning foodie, the wait is well worth it. As Dane B mentions, a trip to Iqaluit without indulging in their offerings feels incomplete.
Whether you're in the mood for a sweet Danish or something savory like Duck Confit, each option on the menu is crafted with care. And let’s not forget the delightful pastries—like the Almond Croissant and Biscotti—that make for a perfect companion with your coffee.
In essence, Black Heart Cafe is not just a dining establishment; it’s a community hub, a place where flavors meet warmth. Each visit promises a delightful experience, and we can't wait to return to savor more of their delightful dishes.
