About Esso

Dark Horse Espresso Bar + Dear Grain is a popular cafe and bakery in Toronto known for its good coffee and baked goods. The cafe offers a variety of drinks, including matcha lattes, regular lattes, and great hot chocolate, as well as sea salted brownies and an excellent coconut cookie. The kale scone was also mentioned as being okay. Customers have reported the coffee and matcha to be good, and the latte art is nice. The Jalepeño and cheddar sourdough bread is a standout, perfect lightly toasted with butter and an egg. The atmosphere is great, with friendly staff and quality coffee, though the cafe can be busy, making it challenging to find a seat. Located on a quieter street, it’s a perfect spot to sit and enjoy a drink. While the food and drinks are generally well-received, some customers have found the staff to be rude and unhelpful, which has detracted from the overall experience. The cafe is also recommended for its sourdough bread and "Morning Buns" (glazed cinnamon rolls), praised by customers. Dark Horse remains a go-to spot in the city, with many visitors never disappointed.
