Dark City Coffee

This has been my go to place for coffee beans since pandemic.I was a daily Starbucks visitor until all the stores were closed when COVID starts. So I bought a C40 grinder and a V60 dripper to start my own coffee journey.I compared several roaster, downtown/uptown/Markham etc. Dark City is the farthest to my home, but is now my only place to get my beans.Dark City has very clear menu, plain but clear, so I know what I am buying. I can easily identify which beans I love and stick to it.All the beans are made on demand at the roast level I want. this is important to me as I may have the same beans roast in different levels to compare the taste difference.No need to mention the beans are very fresh with great quality. (when I bloom the coffee grounds I always smile).Last but not least, the price. their package is half pound or a pound. I saw several other roasters using 300g package. even with that package their price are higher than the full pound (454g) package that Dark City is using.BTW, Dark City has an interesting working time. they take days off on Friday and Saturday. and they finish the day early ( around 2 or 2:30 PM I think). So I usually order on Fri or Sat, they will make it on Sun morning, and I pick up at Sun noon.

I can't go back to drinking off the shelf coffee anymore. The smoothness and richness is so good. Makes me want to add a bit of cream for extra smooth

I have been buying my beans from here for the past 2 years and it is definitely the best place to buy freshly roasted coffee beans in Toronto. The staff there (along with heir office kitty) are super friendly and they stock a million variety of beans to so you'll never get bored. Just brewed mine a few minutes ago and their recommendation was exactly what I was looking for so I thought I should rave a little about it here. Very much recommended.

Great selection of roasted and green beans. Quick turnaround. Convenient location in Scarborough for pick up.

This is my new goto place to get for my caffeine addiction. The beans are reasonably priced, and they are able to do same day pickup for small orders. I would highly recommend this place and I look forward to trying as many variety of coffee beans they have to offer.

Amazing Coffee Bean Selections with hundreds of options.They have a perfect location, considering there are no other roasters nearby, and there's also no traffic on that street for easy pick-up.Plus, they're right a hop, skip, and a jump away from my residence.Very friendly welcoming folks. They are really passionate about coffee. If you ever get a moment to chat with them, you'll know what I'm talking about.They have a great after hrs pick-up system.

A great store. I get coffee beans from them regularly. It is always fast, freshly roasted, and excellent quality.

If you are looking for a really good quality coffee, then that’s the best place for you.I visited their store without any preorder, and just in 20 minutes I received fresh, custom, and for acceptable price coffee beans.Workers there are very friendly. Without any issues they are willing to help and choose coffee beans that you personally likes.I really recommend this place to all true coffee lovers.

I’ve been ordering coffee from them for years. There are not enough reviews of this truly wonderful company. Exceptional selection of superb beans freshly and perfectly roasted to order, appearing on your doorstep by next day (sometimes strangely late the same night). Prices are competitive with or cheaper than lousy stale chain coffee. Customer service is consistently outstanding. I’ve been ordering from Jully for years by email and occasionally phone long before there was an online order portal. She is an absolute pleasure to deal with and when I’ve forgotten to specify the roast or whole bean gets it right anyway cuz she knows her customers! I’ve brought their coffee on request for relatives living in various places known for excellent coffee. But they still want Dark City after having It at my place.
