The Works Cafe
9 Congress Street, Dover, NH
Crema's Take
“This Dover institution has earned its loyal following with generous, thoughtfully-made sandwiches on fresh sourdough and a full breakfast menu that keeps both regulars and travelers coming back. While consistency can be hit-or-miss, the reasonable prices, welcoming family-friendly atmosphere, and solid coffee drinks make it a dependable spot to settle in with your laptop or grab something satisfying on the go.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
