It was the grand opening of the much anticipated second location of Dark Horse in Toronto today. I don't know if it is possible to say WOW too many times in one day, but it was uttered many times during a relatively short visit with Beanie today.
You can just see the lovely 4 group La Marzocco at the end of the bar in the first photo, and the spectacular space in which it resides. This must be one of the most impressive espresso spaces that I have ever seen, yet it retains the welcoming comfort of the original DH location. Of course, the coffee is excellent. Congrats to owners Ed and Dee.

Edit: you can't really see it from the first photo, but the second photo is taken from another cozy seating area that is raised, and behind the bar. You can sit up there in comfy chairs and watch the baristas work their magic through the glass balcony. Very cool.
