Crema's Take
“Dark Horse's signature drinks—like the Fire Cracker Latte with its careful balance of white chocolate and raspberry—show real craft behind the espresso bar, and the made-to-order breakfast sandwiches and scratch egg bakes prove the kitchen takes the same care with food. The whole operation radiates genuine hospitality, with staff who actually know their coffee and a cozy vibe that makes it worth lingering over a work session or leisurely breakfast. If you're passing through Crosslake, this is legitimately worth stopping for.”
What to expect
