This is my new goto place to get for my caffeine addiction. The beans are reasonably priced, and they are able to do same day pickup for small orders. I would highly recommend this place and I look forward to trying as many variety of coffee beans they have to offer.

I happened onto this spot during my routine at the nearby gym. So happy to have a quality roaster with good fresh beans for espresso. Easy to order online and pick up if you’re in the Scarborough area. My order was ready less than 3 hours.

I've been buying both roasted and green beans from here since 2009 and it's by far the best roasted coffee I've had in Toronto and has the best selection of green beans (with the least amount of defects!) that I could find in Canada.
Danut Tabacaru Google Review
Consistently high quality, competitive pricing, and same day roasting. Best coffee roasters in the GTA. The Black Dog Espresso and the Dark City Espresso are perfect for lattes/cappuccinos.

Amazing quality, amazing service, reasonable prices, good people. Have referred many friends and family and all have thanked me for it. Dark City also supports fair trade and gender equity. Have your coffee with a side of good feels! (City Lights and Yirgacheffe Worka are can't miss options)

Favourite place in town pick up freshly roasted beans. Order them in the early morning and they're always prepared promptly and available for same day pickup. The staff are incredibly friendly as well. Pricing is very comparable. So fortunate to have found them this gem in the city.
Peter Michailidis Google Review
Just received an order of Dark City and am extremely pleased. I ordered the Coffee, it was roasted and shipped and I got in less then 24 hours...... That is silly fast. The quality of the coffee was top notch, the staff I chatted with on the phone was friendly and knowledgeable . If I could drop 6 stars in here I would. Why would anyone buy coffee anywhere else?Thank you Dark City.... you rule.
Joe Connell Google Review
What a variety of beans! I only drink decaf and anywhere else I've tried the selection of swp decaf coffee is quite pathetic but Dark City is extraordinary. Thank you!
Agra Baroti Google Review
I tried the Bali Kintimani and once I adjusted it to a finer grind than I typically use for brew coffee, its the best dark roast beans I have tried in a long time. Very full body and smoky and definitely not dominant with acidity. Their roast to order concept is amazing. I got two more bags to try (extra butter, IV drip) and then I'm coming back to order some more!
Arthur Cheng Google Review
Great place. Very good service. Best coffee. Asked lots of questions to understand what kind of coffee I was looking for and then custom roasted 2 different 1/2 pounds right there as I watched. Amazing.
Shane Gilbert Google Review
Great spot! Super friendly staff and they helped me find the perfect coffee blend. The beans are fresh and taste amazing. Definitely recommend!
Dany Z Google Review
I recently visited Dark City Coffee Roasters and had a fantastic experience. The beans were great and incredibly fresh – they were actually roasted 20 seconds into my visit! The service was friendly, and they had exactly what I needed. I’d highly recommend placing an order by phone or online beforehand to make sure they have what you need, but if you're a fan of fresh roasted beans and great service, this place is definitely worth checking out!
Sufyan Vashi Google Review
The staff and service are amazing! Always on time, always good at answering emails and phone calls. So thankful we get to enjoy coffee from here.
Onsia Ansari Google Review
Love that the coffee is roasted to order, so fresh! I place my order on the website and the next working day they're open I get an email that it's ready. I've tried a few roasts at this point butt have landed on IV Drip, I love it.
Jay Google Review
I stopped by In person today to check it out and get some beans. They were the only roasters in the city that had Organic beans. David (owner) was fantastic and welcomed me in, gave me a little coffee lesson and let me watch the process of roasting my beans on the spot. I came home and got to enjoy the best cup of coffee of my life. I am in awe of all the flavours that were present. Who would have guessed that coffee with a natural blueberry flavour is my favourite?
