Tucked away at 4a Sheffield Street, this vibrant coffee haven has quickly become a staple for locals and visitors alike. Renowned for its rich, flavorful brews and a welcoming atmosphere, it's no wonder that coffee enthusiasts sing its praises.

Upon stepping inside, you are greeted by the inviting aroma of freshly ground coffee beans.

But Dark Horse isn’t just about the coffee. The menu features delightful offerings, like the crowd-favorite toastie—echoed by Australian Offroad Academy as "the best toastie I’ve ever eaten!!"
