Dose coffee in Red Deer, Alberta. Where Phil and Sebastian Coffee and the Dose Roast by Coffee Concepts (all Alberta roasters, who even knew?) are the house beans.
The simple, clean, contemporary space matches their menu of food and drinks. Simple, elegant, well prepared by thoughtful staff. The uncomplicated nature of it all gives my mind space to wander or work.
I can plug in (with the one or two outlets and Wifi) or unplug (and quietly watch the city life go by)
The restroom is large, ungendered and kept clean and well stocked (because the staff uses it, too)
Loyal and numerous, the people who frequent the cafe seem to be a refined bunch who value a calm cup of coffee before the caffeine takes hold.
