The staff are so friendly, and you'll likely bump into one of their regular customers while you're there. Their signature roast (which they use for their drinks) is balanced and smooth, but they also have a number of other beans for purchase. I wish that there was the option to select the beans for to-go drink orders. They also make syrups in-house for their seasonal specialty menu, so I had to give their blueberry pancake syrup a try with my iced matcha. Unlike many store bought syrups, it wasn't a weird artificial, overly sweet flavour.

It was empty in the cafe but the staff member was not pleased to have us open our laptops. The coffee was decent and there is a variety of seating. It's dim inside with a bit of an antique aesthetic.

For me not only because of the drinks, it is the vibe, the atmosphere and all these makes a good and enjoyable experience. Indie Coffee Passport was welcomed with a smile and I settled for a Capuccino with double shot. The milk froth is creamy and dense, remind me of what I make at home. I do love the interior space as the deco is just so homey and inviting. I was lucky to be there half a hour before closing and got the whole place to myself. Free WIFI just ask for the password but sadly cannot plug your laptop into the electric outlets. So my stay here will not be too long. Full of Beans is a great neighbourhood coffee shop and especially they are roasting their beans in house. Great if you want to get freshly roasted beans.

Cute little hidden gem inside the Farmer's Market!…read more I got the pourover and had a nice little chat with the staff there. They're knowledgeable and it's such a cozy hangout area. You can tell them your preferred roast and they'll pick the beans based on your preference. They have a wide selection of beans and prices vary based on brand, but they're pretty much between $19-27. I'd definitely pick up some more beans next time I'm in the area! This time I got 42 because I told them I make espresso drinks (eg latte) at home, so they picked something for me. My drink took about 7 minutes and it was full of flavour. It came with some biscoff, so it was a perfect match. They used the Chemex and did a double pour lol The staff told me they recently took over the soup business from a fellow vendor (within the market), so they've been getting busy trying to manage all the orders and customers. There's also these homemade jellys which are good for souvenirs/gifts!

They only sell high quality special coffee beans. On the wall shelves, you can see the special coffee tools they sell. The interior style really like a lab or a factory. Raw but stylish.

I ordered a pot of hand-drip "Melona." The first sip wasn't particularly amazing. But it was very clean. Slowly, the clear fruity aromas of honeydew melon and cantaloupe emerged, not overpoweringly acidic, but rather a gentle, restrained layering. It's the kind of coffee you find yourself drinking the whole pot without even realizing it. The space inside is also a big plus. The front area displays various coffee beans and related products, and a whole wall of transparent glass allows you to see the roasting factory in operation behind it. And their product line is incredibly comprehensive: coffee beans, equipment, instant coffee, canned coffee, espresso, and even ice cream (The most complete I've ever seen) I didn't have time to try many beans today, but I'm already looking forward to the Lychee flavor I'll be ordering in a few weeks More suitable for coffee enthusiasts (especially pour-over lovers) Clean flavor with detail, not the overly pleasing type Perfect for sitting alone for a long time

My husband liked them so I'll likely to return to procure him more.

Was greeted and informed they usually roast per order and my heart sank. They walked to the back and came back with a few bags for me to select from and I chose their signature Dark Knight that was roasted a few hours ago. Nothing fresher than that! Met the proprietor David whose passion for all things coffee was infectious as he described their history and what they provide.

If you're looking for Roasted Seeds (beans) or Green Seeds, this is the "go to" place to get some! (Btw, coffee beans aren't beans, they're seeds, the seed of the coffee cherry. The flesh of the coffee cherry is removed and the seeds are "processed" into what we generally call "beans", but they're seeds!) Dark City has a wide variety of seeds, sourced thru distribution, but I think they also source them directly with the coffee plantations as well. If you want to support coffee growers more directly, then buy from here. The seeds are roasted to order! If you buy from Grocery stores, Costco, whatever, they'll all post an expiry date on their coffee. Expiry dates are stupid. Why? Well, as a person who buys Green seeds from Dark City and roasts his own coffee, I can tell you that I can tell the difference between "freshly roasted", like yesterday, and 3 week old coffee seeds. At 3 weeks, you can see that the crema isn't as visible or doesn't form as frothy and dissipates quickly. The taste is slightly less pungent (I drink espressos, black) and, like I said, I can begin to taste the difference @ 3 weeks. At 4 weeks, I can tell more and, as a rule, I try to roast enough coffee so that it lasts just over a month. That way, I can limit my roastings to 12 times a year. (Preferably, I would roast every week, but who drinks that much coffee and who has the time?) I can say much more but, be assured, at Dark City, you're getting farmer sourced seeds from Dave that better helps the farmers and you're getting expert roasters (like Kevin) who take pride in the quality of their work. Say hi to Julie when you pick up your order! I've tried finding another place like Dark City in the Metro Toronto area. I haven't found one. For parking, park across the street, that's what I do, cause they don't have enough.
