Department of Caffeine (Closed)

Finally visited D.O.C after ages. Went to DOC for lunch during my intern times. Lucky us who made a reservation beforehand. It a pretty small area and gets really crowded during lunch hours. Decorated with wooden furniture and dim lighting. A warm and cozy feeling.For their weekday menu, they have a mixture of brunch items and mains ranging from pasta to burger to pies to like chicken fillet. They also serve salads or other small bites. You can also choose a main with 2 choices of salad from ove

Department of Caffeine ('DOC') is one of the most recent happening café in Duxton. So when my caffeine buddy (Monkey Boy - 'MB') was in Singapore for a stop over, I decided to brought him here for a quick shot of cuppa.Our first impression when we enter the cafe was that “Wow! This place is packed”. Where did all this people come from and it was 3pm on a working day. Luckily we manage to get a table, a two seater. However, getting in and out of that table was actually quite a challenge as you do

The cafe is located one end of Duxton Road, with a rather plain looking brown door. Inside it is very crowded and noisy. Although there is only 2 of us, we are asked to leave our number should there be a table available and estimated waiting time is 30 minutes. Oh my god, I am thinking that should we just leave for the next nearest cafe. But we are lucky to get a table after a short wait. The place is quite hot, even when there is extra air coolers been turned on. Tables are placed quite near to

For full review:  http://uniquelious.blogspot.sg/2014/03/department-of-caffeine-doc.htmlD.O.C is located at a quaint corner of Duxton road with no fanciful signboard or clear glass panels, whereby one would not notice this cafe if you are just passing by this street.You would be greeted by strong waffle and coffee aroma as you pull open the door panel.Display of cakes, pastries, salads and main dishes at the counter. However, the available space to walk is really limited, sometime there is a nee

Another comparable competitor of good cafes around the area The place, being relatively new, has gathered steadily crowds flocking to the cafe especially during the peak hours. Decorations are pretty simple with three loud peculiar portraits hung on the wall. The place is fairly constricted so seatings are limited. Reservations can be done via the DOC website. So it is advisable to reserve beforehand to avoid frustrating long wait.To satisfy my sweet tooth, I ordered the Banana Rum Buttermilk W

Menu items comprised of breakfast classics ranging from sausages to French toasts. My wallet might have tried to run away when it first saw the prices (breakfast items ranged from $13 to $20). But the good thing was there was no GST or service charge so it seemed the prices have taken that into account.The latte ($5), which was smooth and the perfect art that decorated it warmed the heart. Although I found it slightly over bitter and sourish, it was acceptable. The cappuccino ($5) was also simil

Department of Caffeine was one of the hyped places for brunch that I really wanted to visit but sad to say it was a disappointment. I tried the their D.O.C Breakfast Platter of scrambled eggs, bacon wrapped meatloaf on brioche. This was a rather....flat dish. The eggs were nicely scrambled but the meatloaf tasted like bland luncheon meat. The 2 fried items were fried cheese which was not bad. Skip this order. I also tried their latte and for a place that has a name like this, I had higher expec

We came 15 mins before the kitchen was closed. So we made order as fast as we could. I was dying to try the D.O.C Breakfast and my bf decided to try the shepherd's pie. Their signature cafe breakfast was so good but a lil bit pricey. However, the shepherd's pie was so so. This place has no GST and service charged. No wonder that service is a bit slow and the waiters werent even show their smiling face at all. For those who are around the area can drop by and give a try.

My usual is a flat white. but today i felt like some chocolate and stepping out of my comfort zone was tough. I asked for a recommendation and the servers weren't all that forthcoming.maybe they thought it was a weak pickup line. haha.still, i told them to make me a whatever. eventually he keyed in something.loses my spontaneity. loses my fun.simple planks of wood line the ceiling. the decor is a lot more of warmer browns and maximizing seating area. a total change from broadway cafe.

Department of caffeine: I'm definitely in for a good coffee fix. What a generously large cuppa. My flat white with a pretty leaf latte art. I love my milk foam that makes everything so creamy. I'm long gone from the days of sugar in my coffee. Although i still drink the sugared ones at Starbucks and Coffee Bean. $5And a slice of an amazingly moist carrot cake covered generously with cream cheese icing. It's a toss up between cheesecake and carrot cake. These days, let's go a little more waistlin

While this Department specializing in Brunch, also known as the Department of Caffeine, takes reservation, I was not as fortunate. I attempted the calls periodically as I know how it can be an ass waiting in line for a brunch spot, no less a popular recent addition to the busy Duxton area. However, not only did no one pick up the countless calls I made, it was the same too, even when I got through just seconds after the line was engaged (meaning someone would had been by the phone but refused to

Cafe hoppers really ought to hop their way to Department of Caffeine located at Duxton. This newbie in the area has proven themselves serious on the coffee note, with food worth recommending as well.We had the Honey Lavender Tea Cake, Carrot Cake and Breakfast Quiche together with orders of Flat White. The Honey Lavender Tea Cake stood along the perfect line between moist and dry, topped with honey that takes your tastebuds on a sweet waltz and your sense of smell towards a meadow of lavenders.

Finally found some motivation to travel out of the cosy home on a Sunday morning, to Department of Caffeine (D.O.C)! I’ve been hearing a lot about D.O.C’s buttermilk waffles and its been some time since I found my last favourite at Wimbly Lu, thus a trip down to Duxton was warranted. A large wooden plank hung on the pillar marks the territory of D.O.C clearly, or its frosted glass windows with black frames, right beside a night pub would have been rather misleading. If you know where Littered wi

The cafe service area is just this narrow strip of real estate, no hidden corners. The semi-industrial woody interior decor gave the cafe a no nonsense, pragmatic character.With no spare seats around, customers are forced to put their bags and barang barang on the floor or have them placed on their laps. It can get quite unsightly, hope the management can provide a solution for this.The cafe does not charge service fees so you have to queue and order your food. Magazines are placed near the coun

Department of Caffeine, like its name, focuses a lot on coffee. But besides coffee, they serve quite a satisfying range of other food like sandwiches and waffles. I was craving for waffles so I decided to order their buttermilk waffles with banana and rum ice cream. The ice cream was not too bad because the rum taste was strong. The waffle was crispy and quite fluffy as well. For $12, it's pretty alright. Good to share it with a friend.
