Dark Horse Coffee Roasters

Review applies to coffee and ice cream only, separate occasions.Had “The Champ” latte, their cinnamon/honey latte, which was wonderfully balanced and even better than expected. Not sure if they do latte art in drinks that are not to go or if they even offer sit down coffees, but the taste and texture of the latte was a strong 9/10.The ice cream is also delicious, albeit nearly the same price as a good gelato shop around here $8/two scoops is a bit steep for ice cream). All the flavors I’ve had were great.The atmosphere is rather lacking very limited seating and sort of ramshackle in its decor and layout. Not really on par with the high quality third wave coffee they’re serving.Service was, while friendly, surprisingly slow for coffee. There was only one person getting one drink in front of me and I still waited nearly 10 mins for the latte. Like many businesses here, the staff assumes zero sense of urgency, even in the face of long lines.If you can catch it with a zero or 1 2 person line and plan to take your items to go, the drinks are fantastic and the ice creams are excellent as well. Just don’t expect to enjoy a posh, relaxing and modern coffee shop ambiance along with it.

Great coffee, wonderful service, everyone always seems happy to be there and they always make the extra effort to show they appreciate the business

We ordered a scoop of spiced chai cardamom (Mutual Friend in a waffle cone. While the ice cream was a bit sweet for my taste, it was very creamy and flavorful. The waffle cone was also very tasty (and gluten free! . The vegan ice cream options were clearly labeled, and I also noticed a few vegan desserts in a small fridge on the counter. We arrived near closing time, so I was unable to see if they have vegan pastries at this location but I have had their drinks at other locations and enjoyed them! Note: the cones were labeled vegan, but I am now concerned they may not be… make sure you verify before ordering. Updated from previous review on 2023 11 14

Dark Horse is the brand that made me love craft coffee, and I've never been let down. Great drinks and a perfectly crafted atmosphere.Vegetarian options: Vegan donuts that are actually tastyKid-friendliness: A well designed store that I wouldn't worry about a kid breaking something. And it's great to have a $3 treat option with the donuts when you're buying coffee, versus other coffees where getting something for you kid means you end up buying a day old croissant for seven dollars.

A solid coffee shop where you can also shop for their own beans. My cortado was strong with some bright fruity notes. The instant coffee I bought it just to try during the busy travel time was surprisingly not bad at all! Strong, nutty and I enjoyed it.
