The Stockyards Grind

The best coffee in the city! This place is so unique and special. The owner Sean has an incredible passion for coffee and he curates our experience in a way that is completely different from anywhere else. He is like the Willy Wonka of coffee. Nowhere has better espresso or a better coffee experience. One of a kind.

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 friend and I went out of our way during errands to check out this spot and I feel transported to an easy breezy relaxing atmosphere I don’t get in the city much! I ordered the Protein Shake Mocha so now I feel when we get our groceries and lug our little granny cart around I will feel jacked! And my friend got a handmade chocolate milk (an off menu deluxe item? or was the barista super nice and accommodating? Either way, very appreciated!) The wait is longer than fast food places because this isn’t a fast food place! Food is made to order with care and it feels more like the food you get when visiting a friend (who really knows how to cook and knows everything about coffee). As other reviews say, this really feels like a gem in the city!

Five star coffee at this hidden neighborhood gem! It's an education in global beans and various styles of coffee. Sean the owner knows his stuff and has an infectious passion for all things coffee. I've loved the friendly local vibe and community comraderie that gets your day or weekend of to the best start! Warning - It's been the best kind of craving causing addiction to cultivate!

Such a pretty, quaint and cozy cafe in the stockyards district of Toronto. The coffee is amazing and the owner is the nicest ever. This is the reason I love supporting local businesses. Went there today when it was -20 outside and didn’t regret it. Tried the dark roast Zimbabwe and Guatemala beans. They have all kinds of beans though. It was my first time here and will definitely keep going back. Just one thing to keep in mind- they only accept debit or cash. They can customize your drink based on your preference which was a plus. Thanks stockyards grind for an amazing experience.

This might be my favorite coffee shop in Toronto. So lowkey you wouldn’t know it’s there. Amazing atmosphere and so cozy specially in a rainy day. Old rock music is so nice in the background. Afew seats to sit and enjoy super tasty coffee. I honestly was really impressed by this cafe and customer service. I’d sit here for hours and work on my laptop or read a book.

Was in the neighbourhood and stopped in at Stockyards Grind. Wow, excellent coffee and really neat atmosphere. These guys know their stuff. Will definitely be back.

Me and my girlfriends went to this event hosted by @Snackbarzero. The coffee is top notch! We had a cappuccino and coldbrew with oat milk.The Food was absolutely amazing 😋. We tried everything on the menu. I'm marking the next event on my calendar (June7) The atmosphere is awesome and service was friendly and fast:) Thanks again!!
