Dark Horse Espresso Bar is my favorite coffee spot in Toronto, hands down. The java they serve up is the some of the smoothest and intensely flavored lattes and espressos in the city. But on top of that, it's the whole environment where you can spend a good hour sipping your coffee that makes this place.
The scene has a cool lofty New York feel about it. The room is a converted art gallery, with wood beams on the high ceilings, exposed brick, and glossy hardwood floors. There are two big communal tables for people to have idle chit chat, although it's usually filled with Queen street hipsters managing their iTunes on their Mac books.
Okay, so the coffees aren't cheap. The lattes and cappuccinos start at $3.15, and as for regular coffee, you can only get that in a french press. This is one of those places where you certainly pay for quality. The barristas take their time pouring out the rosettas on your latte, and as a result you do have to queue up after you've paid. So if you can put up with the hustle and bustle of the joint, you'll certainly be treated to something special.
