dark horse.
Newly opened espresso bar in Toronto, Dark Horse is favoured by a few of my coffee-loving friends. My usual at a new cafe is always a double short – it provides a solid baseline for comparision. Despite their most excellent butter tart (I snaggled a bite – or two or three – from my generous friend), the espresso was not to my liking – unbalanced acidity.
But what a lovely space! I could have stayed ’till the cows came home.

Not necessarily … FAVOURED…just…the most convenient/well decorated/non-starbucks coffee place.
I was more referring to the butter-tart eating friend of ours. Granted, he DOES work a stone’s throw away…
