Breakaway Cafe

Spacious & artful, this staple of Dover brings together local foods & well trained staff to provide unrivaled quality. Ben & his team are all about the love of their community: my pick for the best place to eavesdrop or playfully debate in Southern NH.

Been here for Flight. Wanted to try this place. I'll start with food I got the banana bread french toast, and it was incredible. Good tasting maple syrup. I got a large iced caramel latte with oat milk. It's my go to when trying a new place. This came out so good I got another to go. Service was great. The server asked if she could read the ingredients so I could be aware. Great idea. Atmosphere is really nice too. Went early and lots of parking and seating was easy but I can see it filling up quickly. I will return, very good.

What an amazing spot! The staff was super friendly, there was plenty of places to sit and enjoy your coffee. I very much enjoyed the hot apple cider they had. Will definitely be venturing here again soon!

Break Away has become my absolute favorite coffee shop in Dover, and for good reason. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by an old school, classy vibe that feels like a breath of fresh air in today’s world of cookie-cutter cafés. There’s something special about a place that honors tradition while delivering exceptional quality. Let’s talk about the food – it’s outstanding. Everything I’ve tried has been fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. But the real star for me? The matcha lattes. They’re perfectly balanced, smooth, and made with quality matcha that you can actually taste. It’s become my regular order, and they nail it every single time. The service here sets Break Away apart from anywhere else. The team is attentive, friendly, and genuinely seems to care about your experience. Special shoutout to Dan, the manager, who exemplifies what hospitality should be. He’s incredibly generous with his time, remembers regulars, and pays careful attention to every detail. You can tell he takes real pride in running an exceptional establishment. Whether you’re looking for a quiet spot to work, a place to catch up with friends, or just want the best matcha latte in the area, Break Away delivers. This is what a neighborhood coffee shop should be. Highly recommend – you won’t be disappointed!

We stopped on the way from New Hampshire to Boston and I'm so glad we did! The coffee is GREAT, the staff was very patient and welcoming, even though the line was long! We only took coffee and a pumpkin cake and they were both great! Other foods looked great too, hope to stop by and check them at another time. Regarding parking - we arrived on Sunday when apparently parking on the street is free.
