Dark Horse

Dark Horse Coffee Co. grew out of a passion for artisan coffee and consistent roasting quality. Founded in 2016 the business has grown significantly with the Dark Horse brand building a strong reputation for their Bucking Delicious blends and single-origin offerings.

Bucking Delicious Coffee isn't just a tagline, says Dark Horse Coffee General Manager Blair Harley, it's their daily discipline. They have an amazing team at their Sheffield Street Stables who are deeply committed to ensuring that same distinctive Dark Horse flavour in every cup.

The espresso bar, is a comfy and cool spot situated on Sheffield Street and offers a quality caffeine hit of your choice seven days a week. Complete with heaters and blankets for the cold months and plenty of sunshine and shade for the warm ones, this is a spot that works all year round. There’s plenty of greenery and nice touches such as hanging lights that all add to the welcoming atmosphere. On top of taking care of that caffeine craving, you can also pick up everything you need for your home brewing right here: bags of various coffee beans, filters for your pour-over, keep cups and merch are all available.     

Fridays and Saturdays see the next-door lot house a pop-up space for the cute caravan of Montfoort Dutch delicacies, which go oh-so-well with a lovely cup of Dark Horse coffee. From time to time, the surrounding area also hosts other food trucks for pop-ups, and the backyard neighbours Duncan’s Brewing co. bring on a buzz on a regular basis as well.     

Future plans for Dark Horse Coffee Co.’s flagship espresso bar include growing the cabinet food options and providing hot food for its patrons’ enjoyment. The growing business is always developing new ideas, so a good way to keep on top of the happenings here is to follow its social media.
