In our backyard: Dundas, ON (Part 2)

 Dundas Part 1 found here
 
I forgot about this series -- but here is the contination of my trip to Dundas - can you consider this the GTA?? I don't, so here's the the Gems found outside of the Hmmer!

Located just off of King Street in a renovated house, through a side street gives you a glimpse of a charming 1950s structure. With an old screen door you're instantly welcomed with warm smiles that greet you as you start to defrost from our cold Canadian weather. With cycle jerseys and credential tags adorning the walls you feel as if you have been  transported to Canada's Cycling museum.

It was such a pleasure to meet Kris the owner on our visit. He guided us through the 4 MadCap grinders that were perched up beside the sleek One Group and Two Group Elektra Machines.

In our backyard: Dundas, ON (Part 1)

Dundas, Ontario

The Espresso Adventure team decided to go on a little road trip to experience the quaint town of Dundas. Just outside of Hamilton, about 1.5 hours outside of the GTA is home to Detour Roasters - prior feature. This time the team decided to make it an official holiday EA, by hitting up the other cafes in the area.
Described as boutique shops, and welcoming vibe filled with an "older" crowd we were in for the count. Driving through back roads, and going up the escarpment last month seemed like a winter wonderland experience.
King street is the bustling strip where our adventure would start and end. Enough time was allocated for a 3 cafe adventure, and we were in for a treat!
