Dear Grain

We were recommended Dear Grain Bakery from a friend. We were in the mood for some sourdough bread and we couldn’t have found a better place. There was a very nice selection of freshly made breads to choose from. The service was great, very helpful and very kind. The prices seemed reasonable, we got two country style loaves and a pre-cut loaf for 30 bucks. Not too bad considering the quality of this bread was amazing. Very crunchy crisp outer crust with a perfectly soft, airy center. Definitely worthwhile checking out Dear Grain Bakery, if you are in the Hamilton area and looking for some fresh made sourdough bread. We will definitely be back to try some of the coffee and baked goods.

The bread is more expensive than store bought since it’s made from scratch using high-quality ingredients but well worth the price. It was so good I won’t be going back to store bought bread anytime soon if ever!

Discovered this little gem today in Hamilton…super nice staff and the baked goods, out of this world! I was in the mood for sourdough bread & googled where to go. ‘Dear Grain’ popped up so off I go. I ended up buying a cookie (Ube & Coconut) and a scone (Ham & Cheese) in addition to 2 loaves of bread. The country loaf sourdough was very good (they don’t slice it for you, they only have sliced pan loaf). But what blew me away was the cookie, WOW!!!!! Have not tried the scone yet but I’m sure it will be just as delicious as it looks. Everything they bake is sourdough based. They don’t have parking space but you can park out front & run in to pick up bread. It’s not a Bakery Café where you can sit and have a coffee date. It’s literally just for pick up & go. (hence the 3 stars for atmosphere). The building looks like it’s been abandoned from the side (if you drive along Bay Street), their entrance is off the side street, a little door. Highly recommend it…amazing amazing!

The place is cute, the service is good too. I loved the classic sourdough! Perfect taste and wonderful crumb. The croissant was delicious, so buttery and flaky🤤 I’ll definitely come again either at this location or the other in Toronto, to try some other pastries!

I ordered one pain au chocolat and one flat white! Flat white was amazing, coffee quality is top! The croissants great but a bit too buttery for me!
