Reviews of Dose Coffee Downtown (Bakery)

Rueben Tschetter

One of the best little coffee shop in downtown Red Deer.

Joshua Murdoch

The staff and environment was nice, We ordered a hot chocolate and an americano, both were terrible. The espresso was sour, the hot chocolate didn’t even taste like chocolate. For the price it was a big disappointment. In the end I dumped my americano down the sink. It’s rare to be so below the mark that I dump out a coffee, so it’s saying something.

Doris Kibermanis

Staff were nice and coffee was good. However, EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!! $14.00 for two coffees and two muffins.

Stephan Bendall

Coffee is quite good but the service is a little cold.

Michael Cellini

Renny Mac

Beet root latte, need I say more?

Heather Bain

This little coffee shop has the absolute best coffee in Red Deer. I love supporting the small local shops like this in Red Deer. You have to try their latte it's to die for.

Teresa Blake

Best latte I've ever had. Love the atmosphere and great customer service.

Garth Erick

A hidden gem in the downtown core. Staff are friendly and the coffee is super tasty.

Zdenek Cejka

The only one opened coffee in RD downtown on Sunday afternoon. That is good. But capuccino for 5 CAD in a plastic cup I am so sorry it is too much and the taste was horrible. I was thinking about returning and never come back again.

Brandon Hofer

Best place to get high quality coffee in Red Deer. An extra buck for good coffee doesn't hurt.

Joseph Leyk

Very cheque atmosphere, by far my favourite place to stop in for coffee in the entirety of Red Deer. Open fairly early so you can grab a cup to go on your way to the office. I highly recommend the mocha, and their Danishes! Only down side (if it could be considered a downside) is there is not very much room for activities or additional indoor seating for that matter. However, on a bright sunny day I highly encourage you to sit outside and people watch!

Bee Ginning

Cute cafe downtown of Red Deer and friendly service

Sara Sylvestre

A respectable selection and delicious baked goods. A little pricey, but definitely a place to check out if you love little coffee shops.

Karl Domning

Always visit here when I am Red Deer. Minimalist aesthetic, perfectionist coffee, and a relaxing vibe.

Stephen Densmore

The Dose staff have all been super knowledgeable and helpful with my search for the perfect coffee bean! I have never been disappointed yet with a drink from Dose!

Very good coffee. Cute and quaint shop. Friendly staff.

Erik Mohns (Erock)

The drinks look good and I love the decor but the quality of the drink was lacking for the price. The staff was kind and helpful.

Dominick Gartner

Awesome staff every time I visit. If you're in Red Deer this is the best coffee in town. (edited for poor mobile spellcheck)

Doug

Great little coffee shop. Very personalized service. I walk in and my beverage gets prepared without me asking. Love it! Great service, great hot beverages.

Benjamin Butcher

Huge fan. Wonderful flat whites. ????

Zach Payne

Awesome staff and even better food. The new holiday menu is the best part

Keegan P

Speciality drinks that you can't get anywhere else. Chilli pepper coffee is amazing. Great stop in the Red Deer downtown core.

Karen Dorval

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff

Liam Smith

The cappuccino’s are alright. It’s nice to see those old buildings still being used.

K Hamer

I always love this spot. The staff are friendly and kind. Everyone is welcome, and treated the same.

Dakota Hourie (VA6DAH)

Amazing coffee and experience overall. They are currently operating at reduced hours, I assume due to some effects of the pandemic. If you can, take a walk over to this shop and get a cup of joe or some beans for use at home.

Igor

Roomy place, especially during covid19. Friendly' staff. Tasty coffee

Trish Holt

The coffee is good...but this will be the last visit here as the service is cold and rather rude which is the same service received in the summer. There are many small businesses which I'm happy to give my money to. Service with a warm smile goes a long way.

Jaclyn Bell

Lots of very unique flavours for lattes with no coffee! Very delicious!

Kelly P Kramer

Awesome. Stopped in on my way back up to Edmonton. Fantastic service and great coffee!

Victor Kuang

Americano was great. Cozy atmosphere. Fresh variety of beans for sale.

Ethan Fraser

Fun, creative drinks and an unique atmosphere make for the perfect spot for meeting up with friends, or having a quick business lunch.

Ali Hiltz

I had the Dolce Latte which was not too bitter and not too sweet. The barista made a little latte art in my drink too which I loved. I ordered a gingersnap cookie to do with it and it was so soft and very flavourful and was as big as my face lol. Then had a few tables and chairs set up outside as well which was very nice with the downtown atmosphere. The inside was very tidy and had a nice vibe. Loved it.

Leila Noonan

Good coffee and atmosphere. Seating is VERY limited.

K C A

Best coffee in town, awesome staff, cool atmosphere and amazing latte!

Carter Chalifoux

Hands down the best cup of coffee in the area. Small location but very good coffee

Sunny Ho

Short staffed during our visit, but the barista was still polite and helpful. Would definitely try again during a less busy time.

Karina Cross

This is one of my favourite coffee shops in Red Deer! The atmosphere and feel of the shop is one of a kind!

Alfred Yung

Great service and nice cozy cafe! Tried a large charcoal latte and an oatmeal cookie. Bit pricey for latte but still fabulous. Cookie was so soft and chewy! Would come back!

Eric Larocque

Great little café.

Esben Neander Kristensen

Best coffee in Red Deer. Good light roast espresso and milk done right.

Bryan Rowsell

Great coffee and friendly staff.

Caleb Allen

It was pretty good, nice atmosphere, good service, just not a fan of the almond milk but that's just a personal taste.

tye “Tmboy442” baggett

By far the best place to go for coffee in Red deer, the people that work there are very friendly and the coffee is amazing

John Hillis

Cosy atmosphere with great coffee!

Tailspin Two

Nice cozy place. A little pricey but for good reasons like living wages and fair trade products . Yeah ☆☆☆☆☆

Gorgeous location with lots of variety and lots of selection- Amazing location! Amazing staff they know what they are doing, well trained baristas, incredible food! GO here for lunch! You will love it here I guarantee it because there is something for everybody

Patrick Moore

Best coffee in Red Deer. It's not even close. Exactly what you'd expect from a proper third wave shop.

Ryan Curtis

Best coffee in the city hands down. Beautiful space, nice and relaxing.

Derek Szyszka

Great location, sleek atmosphere, the quality of beverages prepared is high, although the temperature was Luke warm at best.

Banafsheh Mohammadi

I enjoyed this little cafe's ambiance, it's minimal interior, and rustic washroom! The coffee is not all that good but the croissants are. If you happen to pass by the town , it's worth checking out this little place!

jOda Popcan

Phenomenal ☕❗ Where only the coffee machines are from Italy. Which is hard to believe, because the coffee tastes amazing with a respectfully clean atmosphere and hard working employees who go out of their way to meet your needs.

Phil S

Over priced coffee that doesn't compare to the imported ¿Blendz? I have had at home.

Diana.t

I love the atmosphere of the shop! Very hipster in a small town :) I ordered a cappuccino and it helped me to wake up while exploring the town! It was a very good cup of caffein

Dan Schiltroth

Surprised! Just stopped in because it was handy, and had the best cappuccino I've had outside of Rome. Friendly staff as well. I'll be back.

Christina Lister

Dolce is my favorite drink. Love the atmosphere. Could spend all day in there!

Courtney Anderson

Very good Third Wave coffee here. I’m not in Red Deer much, but when I am, this is where I will stop. Hip cafe!

tiffy hopper

My favorite place to grab coffee downtown.

Blair Stretch

Red Deer's best espresso and purveyor of high quality fresh coffees.

Justin

$3.50 for a barely warm dark roast. Could tell it was good coffee but if your charging that much you should have your product in check.. After reading your reply it appears safe to say that you missed the point I was trying to make. I didn't drive by 10 other $1 coffee places to complain about the price. I go to well reveiwed establishments that serve quality coffee and I don't mind paying for good quality. What makes it even more annoying is that I asked the blond girl for a dark roast coffee, which apparently you don't even sell. Anyway, by the time I walked across the street to my vehicle and made one turn and took my first sip, I could have popped the lid off and chugged it like it was a glass of water, by then I'm in gatez and turning around for a warmer coffee is not worth the time. So before you pick and choose the points of a discussion that you may or may not agree with, maybe try to actually read what a person writes. If your first response when I said 'dark roast' was 'we don't even sell that' the red flags should have started and maybe then you would of realized that there was actually a legitimate complaint.

Maria Metcalfe

Nice place. Staff were kind of distant and too cool for average people. Coffee is strong. Decor is minimal.

Whimsy Ashley

Amazing service, the lady working there was extremely friendly, happy and kind. The drinks were delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Fräncis Dexter

Quaint little spot very nice decor and a variety of flavours to explore not a place if your in a rush but more for a day off or possibly an afternoon get together or date

Rick Vanderveen

Triple shot latte' was awesome! One of the best I've had.

Paula Nutting

If you're an Aussie coffee snob then this is mecca from heaven. Gotta get your butt down here. Girls are friendly and can accommodate our accents and weirs requests.

Jay

Coffee was fine service was fast. No food at all when we where there (200 pm ish sat). Allowed outside food.

Juston Chadney

Best coffee in Red Deer. Try there cold Brew of you get a chance.

Falyn Renault

Tasty coffee, good vibe!

Christine Maurette

Modern and clean design coffee house. Really friendly staff. Great ambiance. Got the blue mint tea for a friend and she loved the floral leaves that turned the tea blue. Yum!

KEVIN FELIX

Finally found a place that makes London fogs and coffee ☕️ the correct way ah with quality and care. Almost thought I was back in Europe when they gave me the Glass of sparkling water with my coffee . First time that’s happened since being back from Europe .

Jennifer Byrne

Friendly Barista. Great espresso flavor. Cute space.

Clare Jones

Cute little place that Red Deer needs in its centre - and so good that they are open on Sundays as so much is closed around this nook. I loved the charcoal in the water! The pastries are yummy and latte very earthy. Will be going back to try a few more beverages and see if they do a soy chai latte.

Mike Kunicki

Such a great 3rd wave coffee shop. I wish they had more food pairings!

Edward McIntyre

Dose is one of my favourite places. They truly have a passion for coffee and deliver an exceptional product in a comfortable atmosphere. Their service is fantastic and the food is always great. Whether your a coffee connoisseur of just starting your java journey their knowledgeable staff will provide you with more then you expected.

Iron Fur

Love this place, one of the best coffees in town

Shae Paterson

Love this coffee shop! Love the aesthetics and importance of proper branding, and coffee is great!

Scott Lobban

I'm a person who loves coffee. I was highly impressed at the decor of this shop. The service was just fine. The reason I give this shop a low rating is the coffee. It was a very watered down tasteless medium roast. The cream was milk at best. Also for a coffee refill on a normally 2 dollar cup was 3.50. I wouldn't mind that price for a good cup of coffee. I was highly disappointed and will use my time for any other coffee shop in red deer. Good luck you have fantastic decor choices.

Tim Holt

Best coffee shop in red deer. Only place where you can get high quality coffee.

Jordan Shelton

Just the coffee is good - haven't met the owner yet lol

samantha brooks

Great coffee! Great staff!

Wikk Labossiere

The badass barista in the leather jacket made a mocha so good I came back for a second one an hour later. Win.

Noel Wyman

Awesome coffee shop. Best place in town!

The baristas here are very friendly and open for conversation! Location is very nice, space is cozy, there's nice bright natural lighting here so it's perfect for taking photo's! Doesn't get too busy in here, there's always a place to sit. Pet and children friendly! Okay, onto the drinks! I recently tried their matcha latte (photo shown) and it's very good! Not too tart or too sweet, gives just enough of a buzz to get my day started. I've also had their espresso here (can't remember which roast) but it was floral and fruity.

Joab Jamieson

A wonderfully calm minimalistic ambience with a friendly employee climate. The pastries are well done while the coffee is imaginative and able to cater to different allergenic needs.

Vene Zuela

Exceptional service and quality of product. They have a variety of stuff which is at par with the big brands. Thanks guys, keep it up.

Daisy Hart

Coffee was perfect! Atmosphere was very chill and relaxed, if you’re looking for a place to get some work done this is definitely it! Also everyone seemed to know everyone, so that was pretty cute.

Jonathan Todosichuk

Extremely good coffee.

Kim Rome

Latte was cold, tasted terrible, no vanilla like I asked. Super disappointing.

Adhara Hodgson

Small local coffee shop, with a interesting selection of unique coffees, great atmosphere and design.

Alex Corriveau

Great little local place. Best coffee in town

Nick Cerna

This is a great meeting place for one to four people. Its in the historical part of Red Deer which will be obvious when you sit down for a fine cup of coffee.

Shawn Middleton

The best coffee in the trendiest little downtown shop #supportlocal

Benjamin St.Croix

Best coffee in red deer by far 5/5. Only complaint is they are not open on Sundays

Sara Mullen

Love the local ownership and great coffee! Highly recommend this place.

Spencer Greff

Watched a barista humour a talkative man dressed up as a cowboy with a disability with the warmest smile on her face for over 30 mins. Keep being awesome to human beings folks.

Attic Accius

Love the coffee. Love the dulce and flat white here. Short walk from my work downtown and sometimes I make the trip from home to grab a coffee here. It's a locally owned business, something that there just isn't enough of in Red Deer. Too bad crime in downtown Red Deer is so bad, if come here even more.

KJ

Pretty coffee shop with small and quite place!

Steve B

The coffee and latte was great. Great cozy little place fairly busy around 9am and the baked treats they have by the till are really good. However the prices are pretty high. The service was great.

Lisa Moriard

Great local coffee shop!

Kevin Macleod

The coffee is good but staff wasn't even friendly on a quiet and slow Saturday afternoon. Maybe they don't actually need the business.

Renee The Vegetarian Hairdresser

My lavender coffee was yummy. And the barista made a design in my coffee. My first ever :)

Shannon West

Such a cute little shop! Great tea and coffee and they have some pretty stellar cinnamon rolls.

Lisa Lou

A darling cosy café! Service is exceptional! x

Ryan Prins

Best Coffee in Red Deer. Staff are relaxed, friendly and seem passionate about the "craft" of making coffee. The latte had interesting flavours and a subtle sweetness without added sugar. Dose is not the cheapest place to grab a cup but definitely a worthwhile treat!

Nicole Charbonneau

Awesome coffee/snacks and great business neighbors! Staff goes above and beyond.

Ash Cozey (Ash)

Fantastic little coffee shop, my favourite espresso in town, as well as great fresh beans they roast themselves. They frequently change their roasts so there's always something new to try.

Jonathan Loree

Nice coffee shop with beans from Phil and Sebastian. Prices are in line with what you would expect at a higher end barista location. Interior was comfortable and quiet enough to work or study.

Carson Maier

I am not from Red Deer but I stopped at Dose with a good friend (who was also not from Red Deer). We trusted it would not disappoint us since they use quality beans and also were quite busy. The atmosphere was nice, not a ton of places to sit, but I would rather that than cram a ton of seating into a small place. The coffee was brewed wonderfully and tasted great. I would be happy to go back again!

Michele Meyers

Lovely staff, delicious coffee, cozy feel

Jamin Hamelin

Dose are absolutely phenomenal. Every single person that works there is extremely helpful and friendly, plus all of their drinks are amazing. Best place in the city to get hot drinks, great food and kind humans is a big bonus. ❤

Samantha Lawlor

I've been in the city only 2 weeks and I've been here a handful of times. The staff is incredibly nice and always makes a fantastic coffee. I've tried something different every time and it always is delicious. I brought home a bag of their coffee today which they ground in store for me and now my roommate is hooked as well. You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't at least try something from here.

Chantelle H

I'd liked this little coffee shop it's very quiet and quaint

TMGAA molina

Very nice place , but I think they should have more food options and more people working, because always when I go there it takes so long to get my turn to be serve!

Mike Machuk

Best coffee in Red Deer! Nice atmosphere! Check out their other location!

David James

Love the traditional cappuccinos

Shea Serzisko

Adorable coffee shop with attentive staff! I had the chocolate lavender latte and it was delicious - I would of preffered a bit of a stronger hint of lavender but overall I enjoyed it so much I got a second. …
