Honestly I will just say the food and the matcha was hands down SOO GOOD!! What I can say is out of both burritos the Hot Honey GOAT was super delicious, loved every bite even tho I stole it from my mom , not that mine wasn’t good but the this one was so much better!! Strawberry Matcha is 10/10 My mom who is not a matcha lover at all LOVED it and finally understood why I love matcha. As a fellow coffee drinker , I will be going back to try the coffee out - side note: try to go early it was super busy when we went (9am ish) but we had to play musical chairs to get a table it really is not built for dine in with limited seating. But the staff were super nice and friendly

Was home visiting family on Long Island. My sisters and I came here for brunch. The food was amazing. Everything tasted fresh and the flavors were on point. Andre and Tim were very welcoming. They even had gluten free bread and wraps to make any of the sandwiches or wraps. Will definitely come again!

What a gem this place is. The coffee was top notch. The croissant and apple turnover were delicious and warm. The aesthetics were good. It needs a bit more color and atmosphere but it's beautiful as it is. I felt like my butt was in people's tables while I was on line, it was busy. Maybe they should push the line to the wall? No other critique. This place is worth a visit for a coffee and a snack at the least. The lunch item looked amazing. Tell em Barsnobs sent ya!

Came here for lunch and it did not disappoint. Got a table number and staff brought over food and coffee when it was ready. Iced coffee delicious as always. The Caesar salad wrap with grilled chicken was really good and got a side salad with it. Would highly recommend

I stopped her for a latte last weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it, so while out running errands today, I decided to go for another latte and this time try the food. One of my sons came with me. I ordered the BLT along with a peach and avocado salad, and my son got the mozzarella and pesto sandwich with a Caesar salad. We both enjoyed our lunch. We also decided to get a couple of chocolate chip and macadamia nut cookies, and we both agreed they were the best cookies we've ever had. The best part is this establishment is run by the nicest people. I'm looking forward to our next visit!

I recently placed a catering order from Dark Horse for my coworkers, and I couldn’t be more impressed! The sandwiches were sooo delicious and full of flavor—everyone raved about them. They made things incredibly easy by including utensils, tongs, and plates, which was such a thoughtful touch. I also ordered one of their giant jugs of coffee, and it was FILLED TO THE BRIM—plenty to keep the whole team energized. Overall, I’m so happy with the order and will absolutely be placing another one when the next event comes up. As a bonus, I love that they offer a healthy lean bone broth during the season—it’s such a cozy, nourishing option. Highly recommend Dark Horse if you’re in the Sayville area!
