Next time, do like I do and return to North America with a 30 inch checked bag FULL of 1 lb. bags of my favorite brew. If I don't drink it all, I give it as presents...everyone thinks the stuff is like gold!

We do the same thing, but this doesn't help youngseniors right now.

I know that Cafe Santo Domingo is sold in Canada, sooner or later someone will post where.

Actually, we had a thread if any of the resident experts can dig it up.

Nice fetch, BB... but thats not the one where the Santo Domingo coffee man (McLay) pops up.

somewhere else I guess....

Thats MY thread... I still drink the Monte Alto when mi esposa is in residence -- the choco one when she isn't.

My sister travels here frequently and fills up an entire suitcase with whole grain Santo Domingo coffee.
We once went to Colombia together and she packed the suitcase with Colombian coffee and said there was no comparison, she preferred by far the Dominican brand. They put them in the freezer.

I have seen Santo Domingo coffee at one of the Latin groceries in Kensington Market on Augusta Ave. i think it was mentioned earlier by someone else.

Call before you go - according to their FB page it looks like they're only open in summer, they closed Sept 1 last year.

Its quite hike from Toronto... and yes.... things slow down fast up there in the fall

snow in October for sure and all the summer residents are gone after Labor Day

Take a look at the chairs -- you may think those are Adirondack chairs

no, no no..... Canadians won't call them that ...Muskoka chairs those are
from the local region of that name

A duplicate in every way - except name

Must have been the War of 1812.... Ticonderoga etc.... no more Adirondacks

Lately been craving DR coffee and have run out of my stash:cry: Anyone know where I might find it in Toronto?

Not sure if you will find Dominican coffee in Toronto but in the coffee section of your market there should be coffee labelled as cafe latino. This is very similar in strength to what you will find in the DR. The grounds are very fine, almost like those used for espresso. You could also find a latino grocery store and they will also have a selection there. Good luck.
