Dark Horse Coffee
646 F St, Anchorage, AK
Crema's Take
“Dark Horse Coffee opens early and fills up quickly with locals who come for expertly pulled espresso drinks and surprisingly thoughtful food—their quiches are perfectly executed and the matcha lattes taste nothing like chain versions. The small space is set up smartly with plenty of outlets and wifi, making it genuinely functional for working despite the crowds, and there's a warm, unhurried energy whether you're grabbing breakfast or settling in for the morning. It's the kind of place where they nail the fundamentals, from the thick-foam cappuccinos to the flavorful soups, and do it all with genuine hospitality even when slammed.”

Amazing spot for coffee and breakfast. They have good wifi, lots of outlets (the black strip on the wall), despite being small. Tables are arranged for maximum capacity and it will get full around 8am-9am because they're so good. Tasty options and good deals. 10/10, will always return. Edit to add: $0.50 refills on Drip coffee if you dine in! Can't beat that
Visited for a light lunch. I had a matcha latte and the soup of the day -potato and leek. The soup was delicious and the matcha was flavorful and not as heavy as the ones served at chain coffee shops. They had an assortment of pastries that looked great, so I'll have to come back and try those another day. Seating is a little tight inside, but they have reading materials and games available for patrons.
Absolutely delicious coffee and food! Our highlight was the Quiche; normally restaurants manage to burn the outside but this one was perfectly cooked and tasted fresh. One of our pet peeves is finding a place that can make a good cortado (espresso shot with a tiny amount of milk & foam, not a latte as most places seem to think). This place made it perfectly, no special instructions required! Finally, try the rosemary brown sugar house made syrup! It’s delicious New all time favorite in Anchorage
Lovely little coffee shop, delicious latte and cappuccino which had a thick layer of foam! Quiche is large and delicious 😋 There is some seating inside and outside, and the specialty chocolate selection of Taza bars is incredible (and delicious). The staff are very friendly and you can see all of the care that goes into utilizing their small space!
By far the best hot chai I’ve ever had! The food and service was great, and everyone there was super nice! Despite it being super busy, they managed to serve my family of four super fast and with quality food. The atmosphere inside felt super home-y and had a bunch of fun signs. I also loved their currency wall where they had a bunch of different bills from different countries.
