You'll notice the formidable figures on the price tags but ok fine, it's a touristy spot. There was some pseudoscience-looking literature around, as well as a Jesusy vibe, which granted has nothing to do with candy but nonetheless hurts my respect level for the place. An ice cream stand is here too, which might not be open during the cold season. Coconut/dark chocolate morsel yummy, but I don't see how you could mess that up. The toffee was nutty and buttery and not quite right, my friends and I agreed. I bought Ranch Style Divinity because I'm a sucker for nougat/marshmallow treats and I wasn't in my right mind from the altitude and jelly beans that I had already been snacking on. It turned out to be as much fun to mush around in my fingers as to eat. I decided to enjoy its saccharine substance because it cost a lot of money. While playing Candy Crush, I nibbled until my pancreas was humming and my brain was pleasingly packed with fructose and swimming in dopamine. So if that's what you want from candy, it works. I realize there's not a large range of possible quality to many candies but some products seem to not be as delicious as they could be, compared to, say, Kilwin's. And my sampling is admittedly not large so they could still win me over, with a banana chew perhaps.

Wonderful menu with all the classics and more. Super friendly and helpful service staff. Very popular with the locals as well which is a great sign. Had trouble making up my mind.

Subbed bacon and fruit cup for the potato and toast. Coffee set up is great. They leave a little pot on table so you can help yourself. Very unpretentious interior, just the way I like it.

I've been to Dark Heart about a half a dozen times. Their drip coffee is consistently very good…read moreand the cortados excellent. They offer sparkling water with their cortados, as some cafes do, which is a pretty cool touch. Sometimes they offer the choice of two different roasts for their espresso drinks, which I've never seen before anywhere else, ever. Stop reading here if that's all you need to know. Today. I order a Smokey Mocha (they also have a regular Mocha on the menu). Side note. It's really hard to screw up a mocha. At its most basic it's hot chocolate with shots of espresso. Even with bad or mediocre espresso shots there's usually enough milk and chocolate to cover it up. On the flipside, it's really hard to make a mocha that stands out from the crowd. (Spoiler-Dark Heart surpasses all that mocha mediocrity). Rewind. The first time I went to Dark Heart a couple years ago, a menu item caught my attention. The Smokey Mocha. My friend and I asked what it was. The barista at the register smiled and gave us her sales pitch. Something she'd obviously done many times and still didn't seem to mind doing. My friend and I were both sold as we each ordered one. After I was done with my Smokey Mocha, I wanted to order another. Unfortunately, we were coffee cafe hopping and had four more stops. When I got home, I started gushing about my Smokey Mocha to the SO and anyone else who would listen. Fast forward back to today. I order the 8-ounce Smokey Mocha for here. My drink has a nice heart design with a generous amount of black lava sea salt sprinkled on top. I smell notes of cocoa, but I can't tell if it's from the espresso (Relentless blend) or the cocoa powder. With every sip I take, I taste warm sweet (from cane sugar and maple syrup) mocha that ends with a touch of salt. The smoked paprika is an afterthought. I savor my drink, but I reach the bottom of my mug much too quickly. I swirl the mug to get the last dregs of salt and cocoa powder (single origin cocoa powder from the Philippines according to the barista). As I drive away, I can taste the salt on my llips, and I still feel the astringency of the cocoa powder in my mouth. This is no ordinary mocha drink. The Dark Heart Smokey Mocha has no equal.
