"Dark Horse Espresso Bar, Downtown by Jacknife. This Spadina location is the jewel in the crown of the Toronto coffee chain. It’s a bright but rustic affair combining hardwood with exposed brick and punctuated by an ornate pressed tin counter front. It’s strictly an espresso scene so queue up for a flat white, cortado or plain old americano. Downstairs from a co-working space, it is home to digital nomads sipping the day away at laptops, office workers grabbing lunch and students checking social media accounts. If large work tables are not your jam, cozy up for a conversation in the intimate armchairs in the back."
