Absolutely my favourite local coffee shop (which is praise indeed considering it is right next door to the excellent Kipferl). Friendly staff, great food and good coffee. Try the pesto & avocado on toasted sourdough for breakfast - you won't be disappointed!!!!

The smallest and loveliest place to eat on Long Lane. Soup was amazing - full of flavour - and their sandwiches and filled croissants all looked super-fresh and delicious. My brownie was perfect and I'm definitely going back for one of their hot chocolates. Coffee looked good too - they obviously know their stuff.

The only downside is that there's only a small 'eat-in' space but if you're lucky enough to work nearby, the take-out option is the way to go. If you've ever felt robbed by the sandwich chains up the street, try here - you'll never look back.

Thursday, July 02, 2009 - From the takeaway salad selection the pepper and fetta salad was light and refreshing for a bargain 3 quid. The salad was packed with spinach leaves and cherry tomatoes along with a dash of vinaigrette dressing...Run by yet another enterprising Antipodean, Dose prides itself on being an owner operated artisanal espresso bar. Like Lantana the coffee is made by a gorgeous La Marzocco espresso machine however using Square Mile beans...If you work in the area this is the best coffee around.

Thursday, March 12, 2009 - Barely a month old and I’m well impressed. The usual wonderful grub that we now associate with the antipodean know-how on establishing über cafés in London. James the owner, barista and coffee god blabbing away while perfecting a cup. The Flattie that came with a wonderful Rosetta was instantaneously divine. Strong and avaricious, it tasted as if it was concocted with passion, bravo!

Wednesday, March 04, 2009 - In the space of 24 hours, two separate people asked me if I had been to Dose yet. I hadn't! And I wasn't sure how I had missed the opening of London's latest and greatest little coffee bar…The Coffee: Square Mile. Only my absolute favorite decaf ever. The Latte: Great. The Service: Chatty. Friendly. Like it should be. The Verdict: I like it here.
