Great Coffee, great staff, spotlessly clean, cool place, plenty of parking, what could you wish for better than that, will be back.

I don't see the coffees on the menu above. Are they reasonably priced or very pricey like Starbucks? Also, I see a nice breakfast for 155 but wonder if that includes coffee or tea and juice. So many times the Thais will make a menu and it's not always clear what all is included. I appreciate any responses.

smaller coffees in shorter glasses, and nice beans and all individually brewed etc mocha is 75, others 70 ?? or 65 ???

The girls who own it, lived in Sydney and the concept is an up market café / bistro well set out

The coffees are short.....and pricey....but delicious. No refills. I haven't had their breakfast, but I'd guess it's like their other dishes....well prepared and good quality....but for a size 32 waist.

From Dose Espresso facebook page, nice photos of their collaborating chef "Nak" at a Makro Horeco competition, his dish came in third place and it sounds like that means he will proceed to the national competion.

Tried it out and food and coffee was very good, will go again.

If this place was 3x, 4x, 5x the size and perhaps a more visible location, it would likely be the toast of the town...

Congrats to "Nak", he used to run Funghi but has been an excellent addition to Dose. Interesting to see culinary references, contests, etc. as part of Udon's happenings. Pretty good for a place that 5 years ago pickings were limited.

Good on Dose and others for making it so...

Udon's lack of an art museum is somewhat made up with an occasional visit to Dose Espresso for a cup of joe and slice of dessert....all fancied up for the eye as well as the palate.

Somehow, my eyes expect the coffee on the bottom and I'm getting dizzy from looking at this pic!! From the angle, it looks like you're standing over the table and looking backwards. Is it only me?

My apologies for making you nauseous. My ipad isn't cooperating despite trying to edit the post. I'll fix it when I'm on my desktop tomorrow.

UM

Seeing as the girls worked in Sydney or Melbourne ? they have bought their ideas back with them.

Maybe its a Coffee from Down Under, LOl

Seen this happen before, when uploading picts onsite sites, or has Parrot fallen off his perch ??

I poured some Milk of Magnesia over the photo......all's well. Amazing that none of the coffee spilled.

Excellent food.

Just been to "Dose" for lunch after reading the reviews here...Nim know's here coffees after a few years in cafes etc in Sydney..Great to see Flat Whites and Long Blacks on a menu. Tried one of each and the blend is superb. The barista knows her stuff as well. It was as good a coffee as 90% of the cafes I frequented in Brisbane, or maybe I was just hanging out for something better than the norm here.
The Salmon pasta was delicious, and according to my mate, so was the salmon pizza.

Staff all friendly and smiling. Really impressed with the whole setup [except for the wooden stools which aren't good for bony arses].

I'll be back, even though It is much further than "Beyond". Excellent. =D>

I had another dinner at Dose last night. As before the meal, service and ambience could not be faulted. I had the special "Chicken Breast stuffed with Spinach but they altered the meal for me with salad instead of potato. It was excellent. Started with OJ then main meal and finished with a flat white and a yoghurt muffin. I am certain thy are destined for greater things in the future.

Just a note to say that I visited this place 3 times in August for both hot food and drink and can highly recommend it. A better location makes it a winner

My wife and I enjoyed our first lunch today at Dose Espresso Thailand:
Pasta Carbonara.
Margharita Pizza.
Garlic Bread.
Fresh squeezed passion fruit juice.
Some kind of fragrant herbal tea.
465 THB + tip.
All very good.
We give this place three thumbs up =D> =D> =D> :
1. Good food at a reasonable price.
2. Ample EZ parking.
3. Air conditioned comfort.
Plus one of the owners, Miss Dim, speaks excellent English, having studied and worked in Sydney for four years or so.
Also, if you care about such things: Free Wi-Fi.

I missed my 15 minutes of mediation getting my haircut a few days ago (noisy.....and that dual pricing sign just sort of ruined the day)......but I made up for lost time today at Dose Espresso. The barista must be taking art lessons......it gets better every time I go there!
