Barely open for a day and the new Dark Horse Espresso has become a second home for many in the neighbourhood.
Dark Horse opened in the space that once occupied the former Square Fruit Market and the owners have done a fine job transforming it into a cozy yet airy cafe. Beautiful dark wood floors, red painted walls, tin ceiling make up the decor.
Like the other Dark Horse cafes, a communal table is located at the front near the windows. But if you're shy about sitting there with strangers, there's plenty of seating found at the bar and at small individual tables along the wall.
They're open until 7pm, which seems to be the norm for most coffee joints in the city. But they make a damn fine Americano so I'll forgive them for their somewhat limited hours.
