"Great coffee and really friendly service. Each time I visit Darks the coffee is consistently good and the service always extremely friendly. The team do such a great job, especially on Knights home games, extending their opening hours until near kickoff. I visited recently right on closing time and they were having trouble with their eftpos machine, yet they were still kind enough to make a coffee free of charge. Appreciate the kind service team, keep up the great work."

"No-so-tucked away at the front of the stadium, Darks is one of those places you end up calling your regular without even meaning to. The coffee? Always good. The treats? Always tempting (and usually too hard to walk past). But what makes this place quietly special is the people — a crew of strong, independent women who run the container with calm confidence and easy charm. There’s a warmth here that isn’t just from the espresso machine — it’s in the banter, the names remembered, and the way your order’s halfway made before you even finish your sentence. Nothing flashy, just consistently great coffee and genuinely good vibes. Simple. Steady. Solid. Just how a neighbourhood spot should be."
