Sisters, Abby Hanson, and Holly Holcomb just swung open the doors to Dark Horse Coffee in Blues Prings at 1702 Southwest Route 7. This spot's playing the underdog card, dropping unexpected drinks to shake up the local scene and surprise every sip. Their sourcing beans mainly from Onyx Coffee out of Arkansas, the crew that snagged a James Beard finalist nod, and even topped the world's best, coffee shops list. You'll also find roasts from archetype in Omaha and metric in Chicago, plus fresh pastries from Bloom Baking Company. The menus loaded with wild twists like a cherry cola float, blending Coca-Cola, espresso, and house cherry cold foam over ice, or the spring stallion. Cole brewed with tamarind brown sugar syrup and toasted coconut foam. Don't sleep on the shakerado or their namesake latte, mixing brown sugar, honey, and salt. These sisters launched during tough times.
