Mostly, Dear Grain is a bakery that sells some seriously tasty sourdough loaves. But they also have a variety of sandwiches and pastries, and yeah, those are quite good, too.
I had the roasted turkey sandwich (“brie, brown butter and chutney”), and it was very tasty.
They toast the sandwich until the bread is crispy and the brie is melty, and the combo of that creamy, slightly nutty cheese and the meaty turkey works very well. The chutney is cranberry-sauce-esque, which works for obvious reasons. And, of course, the bread is great. It’s a stellar sandwich.
I also tried a sesame cookie; I found the texture to be a bit cakier than I normally want in a cookie, but it’s not too sweet and has a very pronounced roasted sesame seed flavour. It’s quite good.
