This month marks a major milestone for Dark Roast CoffeeHouse — the very first anniversary! What started as a simple dream to create a cozy space for coffee lovers has blossomed into a thriving community hub where friendships are made, stories are shared, and every cup feels like home.
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.
What started as a simple dream — a cozy spot for coffee lovers — has grown into something so much bigger: a place where friendships are made, stories are shared, and every cup feels like home. “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.” “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!”
It feels like just yesterday we served our very first cup. We were nervous. Excited. Hopeful. Every laugh, every order, every new face — you’ve made Dark Roast what it is today. From the very first customer to the loyal regulars who now feel like family, the journey has been nothing short of amazing. Over the past year, Dark Roast Coffeehouse introduced signature blends and became a part of countless special moments in your lives — first dates, study sessions, deep conversations, and celebrations. And for that, we’re forever grateful. 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.”
