Dark Horse Espresso Bar

I went to Dark Horse for the first time yesterday and it was so lovely! There was a mistake with my order, but it was fixed immediately. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful! I ordered an iced chai and a pistachio chocolate croissant. Both my food and drink were delicious! I’m excited to try more food and drink items from here!

The Owner and the staff are exceptional! The best drink ever is the lychee matcha, highly reccomend. The cafe makes amazing drinks and very consistent baked goods. Also they have an amazing selection of both alcohol, tinned fish, sandwiches, bread and honestly the best item they have is the cheddar thyme loaf. This is an amazing location great feel, check it out when in the area.

Solid coffee. Decent scone (but nothing too special). Space to sit! And use a laptop! They have tubs of vegan ice cream that’s made nearby which is cool (Honeys ice cream, it’s very good).

I lived nearby for just a month, and I’d been curious about this place since I moved in. On moving day, I finally decided to stop by—and I’m so glad I did! The vibe inside is amazing, and they had a flat white on the menu, which I’d been wanting to try for ages, so of course, I had to order it. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but totally worth it. Highly recommend! The staff were super friendly, too! It’s medium and costs $5.10 +tip

Located in Riverside, one of the best neighborhoods in Toronto. Very cool, unique atmosphere. They got lots of coffee beans and supplies. They have non alcoholic drinks, pastries, cold treats and of course coffee. I had the latte. Came to $6.72 (15% tip included) It wasn’t great, it wasn’t bad, it was just alright. The lady at the front counter was very welcoming, but the barista serving the drinks wasn’t the most pleasant.

First off, the space is bright and clean. Washroom is clean as well. Staff didn’t provide too much service or welcoming attitude, they are pretty chill and talking to each other instead of focusing on the customers. Coffee quality is great, smooth and aromatic. Nice latte art. The croissant is hard and not tasty. $10 for a cup of coffee and croissant is “normal pricing” in downtown but wish the quality is better. Parking on the side street is 1 hr free between certain hours.

The coffee here is always great. They usually have gluten-free food options, which I really appreciate. There's almost always seating available and the staff is always really friendly. The atmosphere is nice and it’s a great place to get some work done as well.

Very nice cafe, good coffee and hot cocoa, good seatings too
