Hype and Reviews

People have nothing but great things to say about Dark City Coffee and our coffees:

  • 2008 - The Globe and Mail Beppi Crosariol: Wine/Spirits columnist
    "It helps to love the bean if you love the grape, especially where mornings after are concerned. But you haven't tasted coffee until you have tasted just-roasted. Toronto-based Dark City, one of a growing number of micro-roasters around the country, couriers insanely perfumed beans to addresses in Southern Ontario, usually within 24 to 48 hours. Two of their best espresso offerings: Extra Butter and IV Drip. From $15 a pound through Dark City (http://www.darkcitycoffee.com)."

  • 2008 - NOW Magazine Greener Beans
    "Scarborough's aptly named Dark City (410 McLevin, at Neilson, 416-282-2307) has been around even longer, first as a hugely popular coffee house on the Danforth back in the 80s and now as Toronto's leading roaster. Beans, both fair trade organic and not so fair trade non-organic, are available in more than 40 roasts, including some from Papua New Guinea and the Galapagos Islands, and are hand-roasted to order within 24 hours. Better yet, with a minimum 2-pound order, delivery is free in the GTA."

  • 2008 - The Common 1071 College, at Gladstone
    "The emphasis here is on the consumption of strong, hot, brown liquid. Powerful Dark City blends are efficiently pumped out by experienced hands behind the counter."
