Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I love this location! The service is excellent and atmosphere is top notch. My regular is the Cortado, but I have also tried their entire list of tea. Additionally, the sandwiches and snacks (chocolate) are quite good. It’s a good place for remote workers and quick dates, but too noisy for reading."
"Dark Horse Espresso Bar is a fantastic new spot with direct access to Indigo . Despite its small size, the place radiates great vibes . The pastries and sandwiches are top-notch , with gluten-free and sourdough options that are absolutely delicious . Their cookies are also a must-try . The coffee is outstanding — rich, flavorful, and expertly brewed. For coffee lovers, they even offer beans to take home. The friendly and helpful staff make the experience even better . Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or savoring a cup of coffee, this place delivers. Highly recommend! ⭐"
"It’s absolutely refreshing to see another Independent coffeehouse with great roasts. Fantastic choices of single origin beans. Great accompanying pastries as well. And of course well-rounded by Awesome and Courteous Service."
"This is an absolutely great little place to get a coffee and treat. Their coffee is incredible, consistent quality, lots of options for drinks and baked goods. The staff are always so friendly and kind, and they allow dogs! :)"
"You’re guaranteed a terrific coffee here! Great pastries and espresso blends. Seated is limited as the café is attached to Indigo."
"First, I do want to acknowledge I’ve been recently disappointed to find out hours have changed and now only open at 9am I’ve been coming less and less because I prefer an earlier coffee and treat run! Otherwise, I love that this Indigo connected location changed to Dark Horse. I would rather support local! Service is always so friendly, the staff are very nice. Coffee and food is always tasty, never had an issues at all. Please consider opening earlier again!"
"Love this place! The coffee was on point and the staff are super chill and friendly. It’s got a cozy vibe !"
"This newly opened coffee shop was a wonderful experience. It is small, with interior access to Indigo but it has a quiet, peaceful vibe—much different than the Starbucks that used to be in this space. The baristas knew their craft and I enjoyed my hot latte. We also tried a cold latte which was also delicious. They have a selection of snacks and treats including vegan and gluten free choices. The food seemed a little better quality and upscale than their competitors. Overall a good value. I have got to go back to try the Apple pie croissant! The area was clean. The unisex bathroom was spotless. Certainly worth a visit."
