The Carbon Snack Bar

What is The Carbon Snack Bar? The Carbon Snack Bar is a fast-casual smokehouse cafe and event space located in the historic 1875 Richardson House at 460 King Street West, at the corner of King and Spadina in downtown Toronto. Created by restaurateur Yannick Bigourdan as an accessible grab-and-go extension of The Carbon Bar, it pairs pit-smoked Texas meats with specialty espresso drinks and craft beers.

The Carbon Snack Bar Menu & What to Order The menu revolves around authentic wood-smoked barbecue classics. The Texas Smoked Beef Brisket Sandwich—stuffed with thick, fork-tender slices of bark-crusted brisket, house dill pickles, and barbecue sauce on a brioche bun—is the marquee item. Other favorites include the Pit-Smoked Pulled Pork Sandwich topped with tangy slaw, slow-smoked St. Louis cut pork rib bowls, and crisp Truffle Parmesan Fries with roasted garlic aioli. Light options include chipotle lime grain bowls, morning breakfast sandwiches, and locally brewed Ontario craft beers.
