Dark Roast Coffeehouse, a thriving hub in the bustling Maginhawa area, is thrilled to celebrate its first anniversary today. Overcoming the challenges of a competitive landscape, the coffee house has established itself not just as a purveyor of fine coffee but as a vital community space over the past year.
To mark this milestone under the banner “Darker. Bolder. Better.”, Dark Roast Coffee House is hosting a special celebration this evening, with The owners, Krista, Jianne, Eli, and John, sharing their excitement and gratitude for the community’s support.
“This past year has been an incredible journey,” said John. “Seeing Dark Roast become a second home for students, artists, and neighbors in Maginhawa is more than we ever dreamed of. We wanted to build something real, and the community response has been overwhelming.”
Since opening its doors, Dark Roast Coffee House has become a favorite gathering place for students, a venue for independent musicians, and a meeting point for press, bloggers, and various personalities. It has distinguished itself through its commitment to quality coffee, cozy atmosphere, and fostering a sense of community.
Krista added, “We started with a passion for bold coffee and a desire to build connection. Reaching our first anniversary proves that people crave authenticity, community, and yes, seriously good dark roast! We’re just getting started.”
The anniversary celebration at their location (G/F TKC Square Bldg., Maginhawa, QC), is an evening of appreciation, connection, and exciting new tastes. Attendees enjoyed a tasting flight of the latest coffee and bread creations, including the new Dark Roast Latte, Oreo Croissant, and Black Sesame Croissant, shared stories, and get a look back at the year’s achievements.
“We’re immensely grateful to everyone who’s walked through our doors and supported us,” expressed Eli. “This celebration isn’t just about us reaching a milestone; it’s about the vibrant community that makes Dark Roast special. Get ready for Darker, Bolder, Better things ahead!”
