31 Best Bakeries near Dover

“Two Bees was such a delightful find! Everything about them was perfection. Walking into the cafe, the decor is lovely with a beautiful outdoor patio overlooking the river. The staff was so sweet and just lovely authentic people. But the offerings they had were simply divine. Their croissant was reminiscent of European quality, all their ingredients were fresh and tasty, but the best thing was their passion fruit tart- outstanding! Very highly recommend this place!“

“Three Sisters Cake Shop was an absolute dream to work with and exceeded every expectation we had. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless, stress-free, and incredibly well organized — exactly what you hope for when planning a wedding.
They went above and beyond by offering excellent gluten-free options for my now husband, who has celiac disease. Knowing that his needs were not only accommodated but treated with such care and attention meant so much to us and gave us complete peace of mind on our wedding day.
And the desserts — truly unforgettable. Three Sisters created the most delicious and beautifully curated array of desserts we could have ever asked for. Every single item was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely loved by our guests. We received countless compliments on how incredible everything tasted, with many people going back for seconds (and thirds).
If you are looking for a bakery that combines professionalism, thoughtfulness, and exceptional quality, Three Sisters Cake Shop is it. We couldn’t recommend them more and are so grateful they were part of our celebration.“

“first try vegan, delicious 😋“

“We got our first loaf of this bread yesterday from tender crop farm. The man who was advertising this bread was very informative and helpful when we picked our perfect loaf. He was very proud of this company and his wife! He spoke so highly of her and was excited to show off her picture on the top of the bread shelf. Today we grilled the bread, my daughter had hers with Nutella and i had mine with eggs over easy. DELICIOUS. 10/10 recommend. We will try sour dough next!“

“i just came through the drive thru at this location the lady at the window told me her name was maizy and she was phenomenal definitely deserves a raise i have never experienced this level of quality service at any other aroma joes location before my drink was delicious and she was nothing but sweet to me i complimented her on her service and she shared with me that someone had just left a bad review about her and i think that’s extremely preposterous this was by far my best aroma joes experince i have ever had whoever left that review on her has no idea what they are talking about!!“

“The owner is one of the sweetest people I know. I was there on Saturday and bought cupcakes. The best cupcakes I've ever had!“

“I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Because the items that I have tried from this bakery are amazing! My coworkers mom brought our office a Mocha Yule log the other day and it was outstanding. I sent my husband to get some sweet treats this morning and I was not disappointed. The donuts were perfect even my picky 5 year old loved the chocolate butternut. If you are in the area I suggest you go and get yourself a sweet treat. It’s worth it! 💙“

“I had the pleasure of working alongside sweetened memories as a vendor and I am very impressed by them! Their attention to detail is apparent. The display they had for this wedding was so beautiful! I am obsessed with the flowers they had on the wedding cake. I tried a few cupcakes and wow! Highly recommend!“

“My kids and I LOVE this friendly, local spot! And it's so awesome to finally see a thriving business in this location that was vacant for so long! The staff are cheerful, welcoming and attentive every time we visit, and the food is always top quality and so delicious! So many yummy options to choose from (especially if you get there early for the donuts!! 😋)“

“Fine pastries made by chef Sharif and his team… great espresso with a French vibe all the way down to the bistro chairs and marble top tables situated in a picturesque cobblestone alley overhung by ivy and beautiful trees. Portsmouth’s greatest hidden gem that everyone seems to know about.“

“delicious.. great food. next time we are in the area we will be back“

“We had an amazing experience with My Friend’s Bakery for our wedding on 10.10.25! Lara was incredibly pleasant and easy to work with from start to finish. She patiently answered all of my questions while I was figuring out exactly what I wanted for our cake and dessert options. My husband and I really enjoyed our tasting—it was so helpful in narrowing down our flavor choices and everything was delicious.

On the day of our wedding, I was absolutely thrilled when I saw the dessert table. The presentation was beautiful, and Lara’s team did an amazing job setting everything up. The cake and treats looked stunning and tasted just as good. While everything was a hit, the pumpkin whoopie pies were truly to die for—perfect for our fall wedding!

We couldn’t have been happier and would highly recommend this bakery to anyone looking for beautiful, delicious desserts and exceptional service.“

“Allyson was responsive and took the time to discuss a vision for the cake, taking some inspiration pictures from me and coming up with a design that matched what I was looking for. She made sure she knew what I wanted, communicated at every step, and made sure we were all set with how and when to pick it up. It turned out beautiful, and absolutely delicious! As a gluten-free bride, I wanted to have a wonderful wedding cake to enjoy, and Specially Made Cakes was worth the hour drive to pick it up! I’m happy with how it turned out!“

“This is such a cute place and quick to order. They have such unique cookies made to order. Very good cookies too my husband loves them. I'm gluten free so sadly I'm not able to eat them unless they create a gluten free option from time to time.“

“What a sweet addition to Newmarket! This friendly family has made a beautiful space with delicious food - the Key Lime Pie is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! This new spot is not to be missed!“

“Picked up some treats to try. they were delicious. They even have dog treats that my pup loved too.“

“I never write reviews but this place is AMAZING! My mom & I stopped in for crepes, we had a sweet one and a savory one and also a tart and vanilla ice coffees. Everything was perfection and tasted great! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, the atmosphere very nice. This was the highlight of our trip we loved it so much and will definitely be returning! 🥰“

“Delicious cake and cupcakes! Divine cookie dough icing! Never had anything like it ~ can’t wait to order from Heather again 💫✨🙏🏻😋“

“I am beyond thrilled that I found Beach Pea Baking Co. The best bread in Southern Maine!“

“always super clean and look the cookies usually look good or atleast decent the only complaints i have is that there cookies are usually sold out and they are SO slow at restocking them!! also on the app it says served warm or chilled for the cookie and VERY rarely they r warm…“

“Amazing food and coffee, superb staff!“

“This is a Portsmouth must!! Great ice cream and super friendly customer service, we had the peppermint stick ice cream and I recommend ordering it before it's gone!! We ordered it and took home a pint!“

“We always stop here when doing laundry in the plaza. Always pleased with the service and coffee is perfect. I just have a couple of questions: Why can't we order ahead on the app here? And even though I can't use the app to order, can I still use it to pay?“

“I’ll be straight: I’m addicted to AJs Rush & I promised my husband I wouldn’t get one again after drinking one everyday for far too many days. That shit gets your blood pumping & they taste so damn good! That said, I still sneak them when I can because they are that good. Don’t tell my husband!“

“Aroma Joes - the best cold brew around. The staff are always lovely and excellent at what they do. I always tip. I love the app and the reward points, FINALLY REAL REWARDS! THANK YOU!

The coffee and food/snacks here are way better than the big chains around. Shop local. It’s just really good coffee and a great business.“

“Until I moved here never heard of Aroma Joe's learned they are plentiful in Maine and their products are great but its their staff that makes it. Those folks are amazing and if you have never experienced the making of specialty drinks it is an art that requires patience and attention to detail in a fairly speedy manner and the young lady that waited on me is the perfect person for the job. She was EXCEPTIONAL. I will update this post to reflect her name she deserves a million 5 star reviews.“

“We love Fogarty's for birthday dinners or a nice Saturday lunch. Very large menu with lots of options. Seating is ground level or upstairs, with plenty of tables, and outdoor seating in Summer. Clam chowder, onion rings, and fried scallops are iconic favorites.“

“Bekah is awesome she is a huge asset to the company and provides the best customer service. She always greets us in the morning with a smile and always knows what the order is going to be. We keep coming back because of her customer service skills. If she would leave I would recruit her. Ashley is great too. The music in the cafe is the best ! It’s always the right volume and the music fits the scene.“

“I always get my normal 24 oz beach bum lil extra peach. Larkin, always remembers my order and doesnt take forever to make my drink. She also was very generous and gave me a free rush and is understanding when i go back if theres an issue.
Maybe if your nice, you can get a free rush or 3 :)“

“Not all AJ 's have a dine-in setup.
But the coffee is the best and the staff at every AJ's I've been to are friendly and wonderful. I stopped going to Dunkins now that they all seem to be operated by unsupervised and untrained children. Dunking Donuts has changed considerably and for the worst.“
