Breakaway cafe is an amazing gem in Dover. My friends and I came on our visit to New Hampshire and…read morewere impressed by the friendly staff, amazing food, and great coffee. I love that they make their syrups homemade. We also tried their local kombucha, pumpkin chocolate chip loaf, avocado toast, and one of their vegetarian sandwiches. All of us enjoyed our food and drinks. If you are looking for a fun coffee shop with good music, friendly staff, and great food, I recommend stopping in. There is lots of seating and I believe it would also be a good spot for studying.

Genuinely the catalyst for me liking coffee. Gotta get the vanilla iced latte. Food and pastries are great too, especially their pumpkin and banana breads. Baristas are friendly and great at what they do, and the service is quick, no complaints whatsoever. The place itself provides a perfect variety for doing work, lounging, or just grabbing a meal with a group. Big fan of the MF DOOM art on the wall, cherry on top.

Once inside, you will find a spacious, airy, open, indoor/ outdoor American patisserie with a French flair. The back patio is on a deck surrounded by trees and is waterfront on the Cocheco River. You would never know you were in downtown Dover. The pastries are baked to perfection from scratch each morning. The croissants are light and melt-in-your-mouth. We also ordered the "house-cured salmon tartine", which was loaded with an explosion of great complimentary flavors. The coffee menu was extensive. This place went from quiet and intimate to a flurry of activity with friends meeting friends quickly after 8am opening. Service came with a genuine smile. I love this place!

We stumbled on this cafe on our way up to Portland from Boston. The falafel plate is delicious with…read morefresh cucumber and tomatoes, house-made falafel, house-made hummus, and PITA that is warm and chewy. The falafel was well-seasoned and cooked just-right. The hummus was a wee bit on the salty side, but paired perfectly with the pita that is so good I ordered an extra piece to polish off the hummus! Their sweet potato fries are a bit on the pricey side at $8, but they are addictively good, perfectly caramelized, and portioned generously -- ideal to split between 2-3 people. There's plenty of parking and indoor seating in a spacious, tidy, and well-lit cafe. There is a clean, single-stall handicap-accessible bathroom. There was only one server who was kind and sweet. Best of all, the cafe is a nonprofit and the profits are used by a local synagogue to serve the needs of their local community!

Everything was ready to go when arrived- quick and easy. Online ordering is always a plus. The restaurant is more spacious than I was anticipating and very clean. Let's start with the falafel plate: Delicious and fresh! The homemade pita was a winner. I truly hoped the hummus wouldn't disappoint because sometimes it just does and it was the whole dish's base. My concern was totally unfounded. As for the rugelach? Let me tell you, had I ordered in I would've ordered more than I did! The dough and sweetness was just right. Best I've had in New Hampshire.

If you have a sweet tooth, do not expect chain restaurant type of smoothies or juices, they are definitely fresh and pristine but not very sweet. I personally love it but other people I have come with have described some of the green juices as bitter. Everyone working here was so nice, it's counter service and the vibes are good.

This isn't Raisin Bran here, this is homemade sticky, crunchy, flavorful granola bits bound together by honey and sugar or whatever. Mortadella. Bomb. Epic.

Even its name has a connection to Egypt, referencing Elephantine Island and an ancient bakery discovered there. The café is tiny and popular, so expect a crowd and consider taking your order to go if you can't snag one of the few indoor or patio tables. I ordered the ham and cheese baguette, which was phenomenal, but they're especially known for their handcrafted pastries, breads and coffee.

Until Covid hit we were regulars at the Wednesday night open mic, an area hotspot for students and singer songwriters to show us what they can do. The freedom Café is a nonprofit whose proceeds go towards stopping human trafficking. A serious social issue that is on the rise in the United States, it comes in many forms ranging from forced labor to sex trafficking. There is an extensive menu for a Cafe of this nature , including many different types of coffees, pastries, and crapes. The crêpes options range from sweet to savory. I've tried both and can recommend them without reservation. If you want some good coffee, good food, good atmosphere, and lots of other amenities, choose The Freedom Cafe and put your money where your mouth is. It's a good cause, there's nothing to lose and everything to gain by dropping a few bucks here.

All of the workers are very laidback and kind - I love their monthly specials and that they serve their in house items in mugs and glasses.

LOVE the mission behind this place also, if you're in the neighborhood and you're spending the money anyways, why not do it somewhere with a purpose? 5 stars, no notes.

We tried: Breakfast Sandwich -- Egg, avocado, cheese, and sausage on an English muffin ($8.50). 8/10 Super satisfying and customizable, with fresh add-ons like spinach, mushrooms, onions, peppers, and tomatoes if you want to load it up! French Toast Crêpe -- Cinnamon, brown sugar, and bacon with a side of real maple syrup, powdered sugar, and whipped cream ($11). 7/10 Sweet and decadent! We just wish the bacon was a little crispier and more candied for that perfect salty-sweet crunch. Overall: A cute café with a cozy vibe, friendly service, and a great menu selection. Definitely worth checking out if you're visiting Meredith!
