Dark Horse Coffee Roasters. — Restaurant in San Diego

Not impressed or pleased with my experience whatsoever. The girl/barista didn't seem to care that I was having trouble making a decision with there very basic menu. The barista after I said I wanted to try something "dark horse related" grabs a cup that had obviously been sitting out for who knows how long not in a fridge and gave that to me, slapped some creamer and sweeter and called it done. The barista didn't seem to care I was there or care to impress me after saying it was my first time. I also was enjoying the other I’m assuming employee or friend sitting behind the counter stuffing her face with a sandwich the whole time I'm ordering. it's best/professional to eat your lunch not in front of customers. I was even referred to them from a friend but saddened because he made it seem so great. Overall first impressions are everything and my first impression with the coffee or the service was below standards to the competition. Dark Horse was not pleasing and I will not be returning, there are many boutique coffee shops out there and this one is...

Coffee : 5 I ordered the Champ, which is made with honey and cinnamon, plus I added a pump of vanilla syrup. Mighty tasty. All the flavors blended well with the nutty, slightly chocolatey taste of the coffee. All of that in there, but still not too sweet, which is how I prefer.

Donuts : 5 Vegan, shmegan, who cares! They're f%#$ing good. My only complaint is that they are too tiny. We got the churro and the sprinkle ones.

Parking: 3 I didn't see any spots nearby, however I did walk up from 24th St.

Atmosphere: 4 Everyone was nice and chill. Not too noisy. At 2:30pm it was standing room only inside. There were seats outside, but it was...

I was gifted a pound of coffee from Dark Horse and I payed them a visit to have it ground.

My first trip into there was a good one, it's a small low key location with sitting from for maybe 16-20 people and there's plenty of room out in the court yard if you need some space.

There isn't much room to navigate between the patrons and the merchandise so keep that in mind.

They have patches and cups to browse as your coffee is Brewing and the baristas offer their l helpful opinions in perky tones... And usual talk of bands enjoyed between co workers creating that awesome coffee shop vibe... Stop in....
