Dark House in Chinatown was my go-to coffee joint when I lived in the area. I come back every so often.
I don't think the lemonades and tea are worth the money, but coffee is good.For cold drinks, I usually go with the Chai Tea Latte or the plain latte. The latte's are milky, perfect for my taste. For hot drinks, I usually go for the Americano. The French Press orders are good too if I'm sitting down for awhile. The pastries are average and interchange everyday. My favourite is the caramel square but I rarely see for sale anymore.
The service was good but now the baristas are more busy and have less time to be as friendly. The atmosphere is bright, perfect for working on the computer or just people watching. The place gets really busy in the afternoon or late afternoon, but I can usually find a seat for one or two in the morning.
I took a star off for the lack of plugs.
