I’m a tea drinker and will have an occasional espresso, but not today. So I stopped in at The Stockyards Grind Espresso Bar for a decaf tea and ended up with a delicious Harney & Sons Cinnamon served in an antique cup and spoon like I have at home from my Grandmother’s Antique Store in Kingston - Allie’s Antiques. Good vibes were playing from the Marshall sound box. No laptops allowed ie. “No Camping”. It’s about connection - connecting with the space, the antiques, the music and the coffee bean. Everything is high quality down to the 7 different types of beans you can choose from medium-light to medium and dark from Brazil, Nicaragua, Honduras, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Guatemala and Colombia. Sean is the owner and host aka barista but he’s way more than that. His knowledge is unbelievable and will help you choose your bean. After we started talking I changed my mind and couldn’t pass up an espresso. I had a Brazilian Sucuri Bean and learned how to take the right number of sips and what to do with it in my mouth. You’ll need to visit to learn yourself 😀 from Sean. We sat and chilled on the patio beside his garden. There is a small food menu but it’s really about connecting as mentioned above. Sean takes cash and debit. Nice place to unplug, relax and unwind. I’ll definitely be back. Chris>

My first coffee experience while visiting the area and it was the best! The smoothest iced latte I’ve ever had and the owner had the best hospitality. A hidden gem for sure!

Under the radar! Almost missed it biking by. You can tell the owner is about the ambiance and his craft. Espresso shot was super smooth
This place is one of the best cafes in the city, if not the best. Great coffee, lovely vibes and wonderful humans.

A real gem of a place. If you really love coffee, or want a small intimate place that's intentionally geared for chatting & connecting (not laptop coworking) visit & enjoy. Sean has a clear vision and is expertly executing on it. One of my favourite places I've been since coming to the west end after decades in the east

We drove about 15 min from our Air BnB after putting "best coffee in Toronto" into our search and having this joint come up. My wife and I wanted a break from the kids so we left them with the grandparents and drove here.
It's a no frills cafe for those who enjoy a superior brew. The owner is knowledgeable, funny, and makes a killer cup of coffee. I got an Americano with the Guatamala, my wife got a latte with the same.
Great experience, superior coffee. This falls in the Top 5 Americanos I've had for sure. Go here.
