Good coffee, good vibes, but still charging for alternative milks in 2025? Cmon now…
A lot of plant-based people in this community and we are still up-charging for not using dairy?

Limited food menu but the coffee is the best in Normal Heights. Highly recommend stopping by for a caffeine fix

Went there for the first time on a neighbor’s recommendation. I ordered my usual black coffee. The coffee wasn’t hot. It was just warm. Everywhere else manages to serve steaming hot coffee. Wasn’t a good experience. I won’t be back. But at least I gave it a try.🤷🏽‍♂️

I really appreciate that both Dark Horse locations that I go to- Normal Heights and North Park, value a drip coffee customer! So many coffee shops emphasize coffee drinks, as in espresso drinks and don’t care about offering good drip coffee during normal business hours. I will continue to support Dark Horse over all the other options because of this. Hooray for fresh brewed drip coffee at 2:15 pm!

This place is pretty good! I got a chai tea and tried some sort of almond flour cake or almond lb cake? The people there were nice and I received my drink very quickly

It definitely felt fairly sugar heavy but it was still pretty good

The coffee here really is phenomenal, but I'm new to Dark Horse, so can somebody tell me... is "poor customer service" part of their brand? As a barista myself, I'm naturally joyful with our customers even on our busiest days... I can hardly get any acknowledgment from these gals when I try to ask them questions or simply smile in their direction.

Highly recommended for coffee lovers!
They offer really good food and have amazing coffee beans for brewing at home. .
My #1 place for coffee, no doubt.

Bought a 16oz Latte and it was watery, bland, and could hardly taste any coffee. We came to try out the coffee as we wanted to get some new beans to try at home, so we were disappointed. No better than an average Starbucks. Don't bother and go to somewhere else.

Small walk up spot, some seats inside but more benches outside. Coffee is fantastic and very strong! They also had some alternative brevs like tea and sodas and small pastries.
