When it comes to picking Starbucks or independent, I'll always go with the little guy. However excited as I was to remember this Dark Horse (as I'm not from this part of town) I was immediately disappointed upon my first sip. Not only was it during TIFF and there were a bunch of super-important-feeling people around, but I felt like the service was much the same. The barista shouted at every customer in the most obnoxious way, and when his friend came in he completely disregarded anyone else. He then proceeded to eat a cinnamon bun whilst continuing to make drinks and talk SO loudly. Dark Horse on Queen East used to be a favourite of mine, so my standards were high coming in this morning. Such a bummer.
