About Dose

Dose is a coffee shop at 70 Long Ln in London, directly across from Farringdon's Elizabeth line entrance. The team has served coffee since 2009, with Square Mile Roasters beans as the house coffee alongside guest roasters. Flat whites and lattes are made with Estate Dairy milk, and milk alternatives are available, though soy is not. Matcha is on the menu, and the food side covers pastries, yoghurts and homemade treats, including toasted banana bread. The space is small, with limited seating spread across different levels. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the coffee itself, especially the flat white and latte made with Square Mile beans and rotating guest roasters, which several call extracted properly and not bitter. Close behind are the jasmine tea, a matcha, toasted banana bread and homemade treats, with a few mentioning pastries and yoghurts. The relaxed, calm staff and welcoming atmosphere come up repeatedly, with one reviewer saying it reset a flustered day. Seating is limited, with a few seats inside and out, and the small space gets some relief from its different seating levels. The criticisms are scattered. One reviewer found the iced latte a little watery and not very strong, another noted there is no soy milk, and one long-time regular described a tall young staff member as impatient, dismissive and unfriendly over several recent visits. Even so, one reviewer calls the service friendly to laconic and counts that as a good thing, and another remembers it as a near daily stop, backed by good tunes and a quick morning rush.

Featured reviews

  • Emilie Woodhouse
    “I stumbled into this little cafe a bit flustered, and atmosphere and staff was so calm and welcoming it fully reset my day. I had a jasmine tea that was brewed perfectly. Very happy with this chance discovery and greatful for the kindness received.”
  • Dori
    “Been coming here for years and the coffee is decent, but my last few visits over the past couple of months have been disappointing. The same tall young guy (wearing a top with orange details today) has been consistently impatient, dismissive and unfriendly. Just really bad vibes, unwelcoming energy every time.”
  • Damian Lubanski
    “Local coffee shop with welcoming atmosphere and warm décor. Just look outside on that signboard. Iced latte was ok, little watery, not very strong, just a little creamy. Nice service and it's a place one would like to sit and enjoy their time; I was in rush, so it wasn't possible. Maybe next time. It’s a cafe with character.”
  • Pritesh Meswania
    “One of my favorite coffee houses! Dose always delivers incredible coffee with real personality, using excellent house beans from Square Mile Roasters and a great variety of guest roasters. They clearly put the coffee first—every single cup is extracted to absolute perfection.”
  • Del Daoud
    “Lovely small cafe in Barbican. I had a matcha which was delicious and a Jasmine tea which was perfect. They also do pastries and yoghurts which are great too.”
