Dose in City of London, Westminster

Great coffee shop, small but perfect if taking away

The small Cafe opposite the Frrrindon train station Environment: nothing special, Bread: not fresh. cold. I don't have my own bakery, so I can't ask for too much. Coffee: Cappuccino tastes too weak, Starbucks is better than it. It is said to be "new style coffee", but I feel like drinking it means not drinking it at all. Conclusion/ If you want to eat fresh bread, it is best to find a store with its own Bakery/

Great coffee, convenient location, friendly staff

Popped in for a coffee on the way to a work event. The queue was a little slow (but very reasonable for good coffee at about 0900 on a weekday!) and found the person at the till really helpful. Needless to say the coffee was excellent

Very disappointed to see that even today with sheer knowledge and support available from roasters that the coffee shop like this one ruins the image of specialty coffee. I walked in here after seen the cue and then the bags of square miles stacked on the shelves. Boy what disappointment I didn’t think to as if they did single shots because you don’t sell single shot specialty coffee not to mention they have larger sizes imagine drinking single Shot in 12 oz cup hot dishwater. Get your act together curb your greed. Two stars as the cashier smiles and greets

Barista put a pre made shot of coffee in my mocha and didnt heat it enough, still not the worst coffee ive had but to me its lazy

Best coffee around Barbican, they offer both flat white and other versions. There is oatly barista and also almond milk as an alternative to cow's milk. The seating opportunities are more like, well, always take the coffee to go

Coffee is next level here. It’s the best I’ve found in the area. Never been disappointed with the coffee or the food (I’m developing a bit of a dependence on the salted caramel brownie). I love the rotating roasters and guest filter and espresso. It’s often busy but I take that as a sign that the coffee is good and worth the wait. Even when busy, the staff take the time to get the coffee spot on. I wish there was more seating (London rents, what can you do?) but the church grounds are right out back if the weather is good.

Cool local coffee shop ordered coffee and curassos. Tasty.

Coffee taste nice, but I thought it’s quite pricy for what it is -£3.9 for reg oat latte, which in size looks more like a small cup rather than regular. The place is usually busy, there is almost no space inside, so it feels very crowded. I’ve waited 10 min for my coffee to go, which I think it’s quite long considering there was only four people waiting in front of me. The staff are friendly, although barista lady looked stressed.

I've tried most of the coffee places on this street and Dose is the best! The coffee just tastes better... I don't know why! Can get very busy and space is small so best for takeaway. There is a one way system so you can leave by the back door.

Always great coffee (Square Mile as house coffee plus a rotating guest selection of espresso and filter) and small bites. It is cosy space so not suited for big groups. Definitely best of the bunch around the Barbican / Farringdon.

Loved it - while a really small place (thus -1 for atmosphere), it's a really cozy place with some fantastic coffee. Went for an anzac cookie and decaf (yep, sorry), and it had an absolutely fantastic aftertaste which I still can't place on anything specific. Good stuff, love it, go there.

Excellent coffee and lovely baguette, would definitely recommend! Also not too busy if you arrive at 12.

Been here several times after appointments at Barts. Coffee (from Square Mile) is truly the best we’ve had every time and the cakes are always fresh and very nice. Staff are incredibly pleasant too.

Top tier coffee taste, tried flat white extra hot milk. Made to perfection and tasted just right. Perfect coffee tasting and not bitter at all. Banana bread toasted was lovely and overall highly recommend them 🤩

Best coffee provider in the area. Always busy, always runs smoothly. Very focused but friendly team. They know their stuff. Very much enjoy my visit daily

I think this might be my favourite coffee shop ever ! One of the best cups I’ve had and the funniest interaction with the baristas given it was rush hour - the line that extends all along the shop and onto the street is testament of the good coffee. The pain au chocolat was also delish. The playlist they had on at 8:15 am was so rogue I loved it ! Who doesn’t want a some rock and roll to start the morning If the store was open on weekends I’d definitely be here every Sunday !

Excellent coffee prepared by knowledgeable friendly staff. Excellent coffee beans to purchase to brew at home too.

Excellent coffee and a lovely little shop. My new favourite in the area for sure :)

The best espresso I've found in London, the guest beans are always worth a try.

Don’t serve handmade filter coffee, the coffee was nothing special and they assumed my order was to take away because i didnt ordered any food

Favourite coffee shop in London. They serve red brick coffee but it tastes better here than anywhere else I've had it, possibly due to water filter and barista skills. Food is also great including the avo toast with feta, breakfast muffins, bacon halloumi ciabatta, banana bread, and croissants. Good for takeaway but also nice to sit and work in or just ponder life.

Really really nice coffee, queue moves quickly, great service and the almond croissant is delicious.

A truly excellent flat white, beautifully presented. Cafe was friendly and had some great looking pastries available. Probably the best coffee in Farringdon.

I'm usually picky with my coffee but this place was up to standard! Small cafe, offering coffee and some small pastries. I enjoyed my cappuccino and my husband enjoyed the unusual choc+chai.

Best coffee in London. Always playing a wide range of great music that you won’t hear in a normal coffee shop or store. This cafe has a ton of character, knows who and what they are, and aren’t about to change!

Hardly any seating...what is there is cramped. Coffee served less than luke warm. Uninspiring.

Love the coffee (truly excellent) and the mini omelettes, in particular. Great spot in an interesting location. Two minor observations: pastries could be better (smaller and more authentic); and the owner could do with cracking a smile a little more often :)

Great guest roast coffees! Slightly small and busy.

lovely little place with delicious coffee and good vibes...

Best chai latte & mushroom toastie I’ve ever had!

Busy spot on weekdays but they have a system and it works fast. Great coffee and long time spot for a great fix. Definitely recommended if in the ’hood. Plus they play awesome tunes!

Great coffee, only wish the working hours were longer!

Super friendly and they serve amazing coffee. The cold brew is a must.

Great find - in the heart of farringdon you have great coffee, nice staff , lovely little coffee shop. Better than all the chains around the city 🌆

Beautiful tiny cafe place, great speciality coffee and tasty pastries, small garden place to drink outside. Our fisrt coffee in the city, very good decision! Thanks ☀️

Great coffee and fast service - what more could you ask for when your caffeine levels are running low?

Hand down the Best cappuccino I’ve had in ages (made by person in black purple top and tattoo sleeve). I also got warm Friand which was first for myself. 110% recommend. The only down side is they close quite early.

Awesome coffee - rich and tasty.

Very good coffee. Using Square Mile roasters - tastes similar to Tried and True in Putney. Nice vibe too.

Still craving the banana bread + cold brew breakfast from the other day.

Perfectly extracted espresso and milk steamed to perfection 👌🏻

Best coffee in the area by far. It’s my favorite spot!

Nice coffee, cosy decor and friendly staff. Didn't try any food but the display and menu looked great!

The coffee was excellent, the service very friendly and efficient, and the French Toast to die for. Great place in Revy to hang, stay warm for a few hours a enjoy the WiFi.

Lovely coffee and the fresh mushroom toastie was gorgeous. Tiny little coffee shop that is well worth looking out for. Highly recommended.

Tasty Square Mile coffee in a snug cafe

Randomly pass through and glad I stopped by. Great selection of coffee and friendly staff. They change their guest beans weekly so you can always let them surprise you.

I go here everyday. I love it. Coffee is bang on, staff pleasingly tattooed and friendly but not in your face. Good atmosphere.

Great coffee and excellent customer service

Top place for a coffee and great sandwich for lunch!

One of the best coffee shops in the area with very knowledgeable and down to earth baristas.

Introduced to this place by colleagues of mine. Truly delicious coffee, an absolute treat before work. Every sip is to be savoured. Their toasted banana bread is a lovely treat too, especially if no time for breakfast. My favourite café in the area!

Accidentally stumbled upon this coffeeshop, was very happy with my coffee and banana bread. Loved the vibe as well.

Great latte and flat white. Fantastic and quick service. Also great background music (if you like me are into NUFAN and similar bands!)

❤️Dose 📍70 Long Ln, Barbican, London EC1A 9EJ ❤️给伦敦小伙伴推荐Coffy这个软件，免费兑换五杯咖啡，上面很多独立咖啡馆小店。 🌟Dose坐落在巴比肯艺术中心附近，是一家很小的店面，但是咖啡师小哥人很nice，店内有一些简单的面包饼干和咖啡选择，路过旁边可以喝一杯哦！

Best coffee in the area and wonderful people! So happy they’re staying open during lockdown. Go support this lovely local coffee shop!

One of the best coffees around. Must visit if you are around during their working hours

Best coffe in the area. Well balanced and smooth taste. Really hard to find in London. Would also recommend their cold brew beats and any iced coffee!

Friendly staff and delicious coffee

Fab coffee. Ordered a flat white and it was superb. Staff are super friendly and service was good. Recommend this place.

Great coffee every time. The staff take real care in preparing the drinks.

We called in here for a restorative coffee after our train journey from Cheltenham before booking in to our nearby hotel. What a great choice - they serve a perfect flat white by any measure. We even took a bag of beans home with us. Highly recommended!

Fantastic independent coffee shop. Lovely porridge and coffee. A great place to start the day.

Small coffee shop opening early, near Smithfield market. Coffee is very good and the people who work there are friendly. You can also have breakfast.

The coffee and brownie here rocks ✔️

Gran variedad de café, hecho a tu gusto. Recomiendo el 'ladrillo rojo', muy diferente, café que realmente tiene sabor a fruta. Caro por la bolsa pero sabroso en la copa! También haga una gran variedad de golosinas para el desayuno, que incluyen gachas frescas.

If only this was my local coffee shop! I was aimlessly walking around London and the board outside got my attention. I place is clean and has a chilled vibe. The guys were friendly and talkative. The coffee was Amazing! Also bought an oatmeal cookie that I forgot about until I got home - then my mum enjoyed it so much she didn't even offer me any! I'm gonna try and make it back sometime, somehow.

Great coffee, expertly blended, delicious. Love the vibe too

Exceptional filter coffee, and fantastic service. They went out of their way to give me a table near a power point so that I could charge my phone as I was traveling, even kindly asking a couple to move tables. But be warned there's limited seating and no toilet!

Really superb coffee and a charming little place. And you need to try their blondies. It will change your life in quite a big way.

A unique coffee house (however small it may be) that fits right in to its location. Great coffee, a variety of teas and snacks such as croissants, sandwiches and pastries. Also sells 'bean bags' of square mile coffee to take away.

Superb coffee, good porridge too. Great value.

Fantastic coffee, nice cozy small space with excellent service. Food choices are limited.

Easy to miss, but I was introduced once and keep coming back to taste the coffee again and again.

Great place for those looking for a decent coffee!

Butternut, lentil and spinach soup is delicious.

Decent coffee and oat milk steamed to perfection – what's not to like?

Great flat white and friendly staff

Best coffee in London! Plus an amazing variety of breakfast options for a small caffee, most of which is made directly in store! You can choose your kind of beans, and also the staff is very friendly and recommending. If you want you can also buy the coffee you just drank to make it home for yourself. A nice place! Will definitely come more often when in Barbican.

Good coffee but rather small place

Overlooking the ‘rump-side’ of Smithfield Market, this measured small ‘Dose’ delivers a coffee wallop. A small selection of the pastries/lite bites in pocket space, serving a commendable ☕️ coffee. The staff are capable and satisfactorily detached, not necessarily a bad thing.

Great coffee, tasty comestibles!

Dose know how to make a good cup of coffee. If you drop in - ask for the banana cake (toasted of course and do not decline the butter). I stay on lactose-free side but still stick to the full butter. Location is convenient and historical: between St. Paul's, Barbican and Farrington..

¡Celebrando 150 años de Smithfield Market y necesitaba un café! Así que me alegro de haber llamado. Un lugar pequeño pero conseguimos 2 asientos. Personal encantador. (No he estado en Londres en años y me sorprendió gratamente la amabilidad del personal). ¡Maravilloso ciabatta, tocino, aguacate y halloumi! Buen precio también

Fab soya cap, and almond croissant, great start to the day, recommend!

These guys have redefined what i thought good coffee is and have turned me into a coffee geek. Try the black speciality filter coffee. Always amazing!

I've recently moved to the area for work, and this is my number one coffee spot. Reasonable prices, excellent coffee and I love the halloumi, avocado and bacon breakfast panini.

Really freaking good latte. Also good black coffee. Just incredibly good coffee.

Have been meaning to stop by this place and had the chance recently. It was definitely worth the wait. Really lovely coffee. As it is very tiny it’s not ideal for hours of lounging - which is not necessarily a bad thing! Only suggestion would be to have some coconut milk as a dairy free option.

Really good coffee (I had a double espresso), friendly and efficient staff. There's not a lot of space to sit, but no problem finding a seat on a weekend morning. It's certainly a lot better than the chain coffee shops that seem to be taking over the area.

Great coffee, I only wish the staff would cheer up a bit

Nestled among the trendy gin-joints of Smithfields market, Dose is small chain (?) of independent coffee shops offers single estate, blends and generally beautiful coffees and cakes in a homespun ambiance. Vegans or lactose-intolerant types well catered for with oat or almond milks and the cakes way better than your run-of-the-mill dried out specimens available in lesser establishments. Music kept down to a dull roar so conversations are possible. Good place for a leisurely read, or companionable chat. Very small, so don't be put off by the scrum of customers at popular hours, it IS well worth the wait, believe me. They operate the ubiquitous loyalty card scheme, so if you work or live in the area, or visit often, you will be well-rewarded (geddit?!)

Coffee connoisseurship in a friendly atmosphere. A few tables for a social or business catch up and pastries plus decent sandwiches for lunch. A very reliable local.

Good coffee. The guy made a batch of filter and said he messed it up so I had to wait a while longer but he was apologetic and i wasn't in a rush.

Had a perfect piccolo here today. The milk was at the perfect temperature. Great experience overall.

Friendly, cosy, top quality coffee and nice pastries.

Dose is one of my favourite coffee place in Farringdon. The coffee is great. Especially love the latte with oat milk

Had a Flat White. Lovely texture (perfect microfoam), right milk balance and temperature. Complex flavor, warm and hints of milk chocolate, but also a light fruitier tone, not sharp but complementary.
