THE DOSE ALEXANDRIA
About This Spot
Stepping into THE DOSE ALEXANDRIA feels like finding a quiet corner of connection and calm amid the city’s gentle buzz. This cozy café invites you to slow down—whether it’s the soft murmur of conversation, the comforting aroma of fresh coffee, or the warm smiles from the team that create a sense of belonging from the first hello. The pace here is unhurried, perfect for moments of quiet reflection or catching up with friends over thoughtful, satisfying bites.
The atmosphere blends subtle urban charm with a hint of international influence, subtly hinted at in the menu’s touches of Asian fusion and carefully crafted coffees. It’s a place where flavours feel familiar but invite curious discovery—a morning wrapped in the comfort of a mushroom toast or an afternoon enlivened by a milk foam cold brew that dances lightly on the palate. The menu doesn’t shout; it reveals itself gently, through richly layered dishes and drinks that are as approachable as they are memorable.
THE DOSE’s inviting spirit is reflected not only in its food and drinks but also in the thoughtful details—like discreet service that notices the little things and genuinely cares. It’s a place where the simple joy of coming together over a richly brewed mocha or a fresh acai bowl becomes an understated, meaningful ritual. The welcoming vibe lingers long after you leave, making it a quietly treasured local spot that feels like a midday pause and a new favourite all at once.

I had a lovely and tasty brunch here. All the staffs here are warm and welcoming, especially a young lady wearing a black t-shirt at the counter. She discreetly notified me the stain on my skirt and kindly borrowed me the key of the toilet. I would highly recommend this place.

Absolutely amazing little cafe in Alexandria. Went there with the family on a coldish day, so essential to get a table inside which luckily we did. I had the 6am burger which was fairly simple, but tasty nonetheless - bacon, two fried eggs, baby spinach, jack cheese on a brioche bun. My partner had the breakfast burrito which she loved - scrambled eggs, hash brown, sriracha mayonnaise cheese and halloumi in a wrap. Again simple but tasty. Another person had corn fritters - corn fritters with zucchini, spinach, poached egg and avocado with a side of beetroot hummus. That was amazing. Someone else had the old standard smashed avocado, sourdough and scrambled eggs. Kids had scrambled eggs and sourdough, which they enjoyed. I also had a drink called “the dose” which was milk, ice, double shot and topped with house made cream with a cute cat face. This drink was next level great, so yum. Definitely highly recommended and will also definitely return, and hopefully get a seat again.

Lovely little cafe that has beautiful food and gorgeous coffee. I’m very fussy with coffee and this coffee was so delicious and just $5! The food was so affordable too and a full plate. My partner got The Dose cream iced coffee and loved it. Thank you for the great experience. We’ll be back!

Very nice and small cafe. The early grey cold brew is very nice. There are some Asian fusion dishes like Tom yum pasta. Overall the food is quite nice. The interior of the cafe reminded me of cafe layered in Seoul.

Glad we got to finally try this cafe and I'm in love with the blueberry bagel - first time trying one and I'm obsessed. The chicken burger was yummy and the chips were cooked and seasoned to perfection! The coffees were nice as well, just wish it had a smidge more foam being a cappuccino but overall very happy and will definitely be making a visit again!

Fantastic value for money — we had brunch for two, including coffee, for under $40, which is impressive given the location and today’s cost of living. The breakfast burrito and 6am burger were both delicious, and the coffee was top-notch. Only minor downside was the service from one staff member who came across a bit rude, but overall, this is a great café and we’ll definitely be back!

I’ve been to this place many times — the food is really delicious, and I’ve tried lots of different kinds of coffee, which are super tasty too. The service is great, and I always have a great time going there with friends!

Cute and cozy cafe in Alexandria. The cafe has a lot of coffee related fun quote and offers food and signature coffee drinks. Both The Dose and Earl grey cold brew are instagramable coffee drinks, but the taste of coffee is not as strong and is more no coffee drinker friendly. The food served around looks so nice and will come back another day for their food menu.
