Dark Horse Espresso Bar + Dear Grain — Restaurant in Toronto

We saw the words “sourdough” and were pulled in!

Food: we had the sourdough kale cheddar scone and we were able to get it warmed up! The consistency of the scone was perfect. It was fluffy, moist, and so tasty. I also loved the addition of sesame seeds. We also wanted to get a loaf, but unfortunately, they do not slice the bread and we wanted to split it in half with each other. I will come back to a Dear Grain location to pick one up in the future though!

Staff: the staff were friendly and were nice with giving us recommendations! They also started coffee eagerly for guests as well.

Space: there is limited seating with only a table and two chairs and a wall table with three tall chairs. We were lucky enough to have the table open. Just anticipate that there might not be indoor seating available on your visit.

Cost: the loaves are very affordable! Our scone was reasonably priced too. The coffee is on the cheaper side so that was great!

We were so happy to spontaneously stop by and I will definitely be...

Just a few minutes ago, I ordered an iced cappuccino and waited at the corner.

The barista with pink t shirt short hair with glasses made an iced flat white and it is in a smaller cup. She shouted iced flat white and nobody responded. Then we had eye contacts, so she asked me what did I I get? I sailed iced cappuccino with oat milk.

She told me this is mine and she said it’s the same.

I am looking at it quite confused, because all the places in the world give a bigger sized cups. I saw some other people with bigger cups, so I asked her why do they have bigger size. Then she said that’s because they ordered iced latte.

Since it’s my first time having coffee in this shop, I wasn’t sure if she saying the truth or not.

Overall I’m not happy with the size for cappuccino and I felt scammed. Especially I am a person...

Nestled on a quaint corner, this small cafe offers a cozy ambiance perfect for a relaxing afternoon. From the fresh smell of coffee to homemade pastries, each bite is a delight. The friendly staff adds a personal touch, making it a hidden gem worth visiting again and again. I had the London Fog and Flat White. The London Fog had a delicate taste of lavender which complimented the Earl Grey beautifully. The Flat White was perfectly steamed and finished with a Rosetta. The Flat White carried aromatic notes of dark chocolate and toasted almonds, which was deliciously paired with their offering of oat milk. I had grabbed myself a bag of Rwanda beans, Natural process -- something that I don't see very often and am very excited to...
