One door closes, the other door open. It is likewise for the cafe scene in Singapore. Dose Cafe was taken over from another F&B along Tyrwhitt Road, at the Jalan Besar area. I was surprised that there is someone who is courageous to have a cafe opposite a strong competitor, Chye Seng Huat.
Dose cafe has an elongated space. The design of the cafe was pretty cool with lots of warm light bulb hanging both as light source and ornament.
There were a number of small green cactus ornament to complement the brown wooden wall. The design of the cafe were by the owner.
Menu isn’t the most exciting. Maybe pretty boring for most. Especially when one compare with the competitors in the area.
At least, Dose serve some pretty filling All Day Breakfast Platter and Croissants with various filling, savoury waffle sandwich and pasta.
I ordered the Ham, Bacon and Cheese Croissant ($7.50). This is a warm sandwich. I am sure it is welcomed by many. The best part was the ham and bacon were fried by the Air Fryer, no additional oil required. It was healthy. What I like about this plate was lots of greens were on the plate.
The saving grace was Dose offer excellent home made Tiramisu (and coffee). It uses Bailey instead. The amount of Bailey was generous, I could savour the alcohol.
Dose Cafe uses Etude blend from Blacklist, a Perth, Australian roaster. The blend is a light roast, comprises of Brazil Fazenda Matilde, Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Konga, each 30%. The remaining was Kenya Sasini Estate Peaberry.
The white was well balanced with medium acidity and body. It has chocolate and berries flavour notes.
NAHMJ Verdict
NAHMJ thought though Dose Cafe doesn’t offer exciting food option like their peer, what they offer is good cuppa and with nice home made Tiramisu. And Dose offers Wifi too. That was nice!
