Dark Roast Coffeehouse Celebrates One Year of Brewing Community and Bold Flavors in Maginhawa


Dark Roast Coffeehouse, a thriving hub in the bustling Maginhawa area, is thrilled to celebrate its first anniversary. 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 happened last April 27th, at their location (G/F TKC Square Bldg., Maginhawa, QC), promises an evening of appreciation, connection, and exciting new tastes. Attendees will enjoy a tasting flight of the latest coffee and bread creations, including the new Dark Roast Latte, Oreo Croissant, and Black Sesame Croissant, share stories, and get a look back at the year's achievements.



Midnight Mocha: sip carefully—this midnight bites back. This unapologetically bold potion is dark and smooth, blending rich cocoa with a double shot of espresso. A splash of a secret ingredient adds a smoky-smooth intrigue to every sip. Crowned with a cloud of velvet cream, the finish is as soft as the silence after midnight. Enjoy it iced, yet it's never truly cold. This decadent and slightly wicked mocha is the perfect indulgence for those who dare to embrace the bolder side of coffee.

Black Sesame Croissant

It's bold. It's Bougie. It's a dark twist on a classic.


Crafted with rich flaky dough and filled with a smooth, nutty black sesame cream. Deep, toasty flavors wrapped in delicate, buttery layers. A bold, luxurious pastry for those who savor the extraordinary. #BlackSesameDream


Oreo Croissant

It’s an Oreo. It’s a croissant. It’s everything you didn’t know you needed.

Flaky, buttery layers packed with creamy Oreo filling. Decadent, dreamy, and dangerously irresistible. Warning: self-control is not invited. #NotYourOrdinaryOreo




"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!"



The Dark Roast Coffee House team extends a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been part of their successful first year and looks forward to celebrating this evening.

Jianne remarked, "From launching unique brews and pastries to hosting talented indie musicians, year one laid the foundation. We're excited to unveil what's next tonight and continue brewing joy together with our amazing patrons."
