I can't imagine a better coffee shop! Dark Horse on Queen East caught my eye months ago and I had stopped in to check out the scene, taste an organic pastry and taste the coffee. It's a nice shop, but the Spadina location is even better. Lucky folks…More »

Dark Horse staff are so decent and have HAD to expand because they have the best coffee in town. Purveyors of the 49th parallel brand of espresso roast, I buy beans to take home and I've tried a lot of their drinks. One of the best parts of this…More »

A really good cup of coffee or espresso-based beverage. I had a perfect foamy cappuccino. This place is actually quite small inside. Enough room to sit alone and study all day. Or, if you feel more social, pick one of the stools in front. The quirky…More »

I am a coffee drinker.  I've had my days where tea sounded like a good idea, but then a nice short cappuccino pops in my mind. However, DavidsTea is so lovely, I had to go in. I always like the idea of drinking something hot at night before bed.…More »

The white Squirrel is exactly what a little Bellwoods coffee shop should be. If Broken Social Scene could have designed one, this is what it looks like. It is a cmmunity with good branding. The drink called The Flat White (Squirrel) is like a…More »
