Popovers On the Square
8 Congress Street, Dover, NH
Crema's Take
“This Dover bakery has built a devoted following around their signature popovers, those pillowy pastries that locals swear taste best when warmed up just before eating. Beyond the standout baked goods, they've created a genuine community space where you can linger with a laptop, gather for meetings, or celebrate life's big moments—they even do custom wedding cakes with the same care they put into their daily pastries. The consistency across everything from breakfast to light lunch options and thoughtful touches like gluten-free choices makes this feel like the kind of neighborhood spot where you trust that whatever you order will be excellent.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

This is the kind of place where you just KNOW everything on the menu is delicious! Best fruit tart I ever tasted with a nice touch of fruity jelly on the bottom. I picked the “pick two” option for lunch and was also blown away by the BLT and the Greek salad. The tiny popover (I…
