At 3004 Juniper St in North Park, Dark Horse Coffee Roasters has pursued direct-trade bean sourcing and in-house small-batch roasting since its 2013 founding. The shop shares its Juniper St address with sister company Mutual Friend Ice Cream, and customers can order affogatos that combine both brands in a single cup. Every bean is roasted at the company's own facility and served as espresso, French press, pour-over, or cold-brew alongside vegan pastries baked in-house each morning. Craft-beverage visitors on the Juniper St corridor can continue next door at Fall Brewing Company South Park Taproom for small-batch ales and lagers. The roasting operation distributes direct-trade beans to restaurants and cafes across San Diego County and maintains a retail footprint spanning Normal Heights, Golden Hill, Hillcrest, Chula Vista, La Mesa, and Koloa on Kaua'i.
