It's the place you want to sit with a lavender latte (my favorite!) or grab something quick without sacrificing quality. The food is where they really shine--everything I've tried has been amazing. The bahn mi, buffalo chicken wrap, dilly salmon sandwich, gyro with lamb, and the açaí bowl have been my favorites so far. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Their homemade sauces take everything up a notch (and I often get extra because I love sauces) and the smoothies are great for a quick filling option. I also love that they've got plenty of grab-n-go options, interesting bubble waffles, and a big variety of drinks including lots of coffee teas seltzer drinks and even ice cream floats. The pastries are also to die for (chocolate croissant and spinach ham swirl have been my favorite so far). There's always something new to try. Whether you're hanging out for a while or just running in, this place is a total gem and hands-down beats any cafe around. I'm so glad they've stayed open longer this fall, and I hope they'll stay open year round eventually! Don't miss out during the summer tourist time, and order by phone or online in advance if you're driving by for a quick efficient stop.

I had a fantastic gluten free banana chocolate chip muffin and a breakfast sandwich.

Definitely stop in if you're nearby!

He was kind of overcast day but we can't wait to come back on a sunny day when the doors are open to the patio with a beautiful Riverview!. We had the breakfast special sandwich which was a fried egg with arugula, hot pepper jam, cheddar cheese, speck and an aioli. It was delicious. The croissant was light and buttery and we topped it off with a brown sugar oatmeal cookie to die for. She had an oatmeal latte with a shot of almond and I had a mocha. Both were delicious. It was topped off with wonderful service. Delightful barista and just felt welcome for our first time there. Highly recommend!

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!

It was just a large iced latte (two double espresso shots & whole milk), but it was delicious! The espresso had a nice, strong flavor without being bitter or overpowering. It hit the spot and put some pep in my step on a hot summer day. I did to-go, but there are an ample amount of tables for sitting and enjoying your beverage or one of the many delicious sounding food choices on the menu... which I browsed whilst I waited for my latte. I will definitely be back to visit Tilly for another beverage, perhaps a strawberry matcha, and something from the food menu next time I'm in NH.

The interior felt bright and airy, with light woods and cream/off-white tones. The space carried a slightly upscale coffee shop feel, but without the snooty third-wave energy of plastering tasting notes and bean origins everywhere. I got a large cold brew ($5.50) and a pour over ($6). At the pour over's price point, I would have expected more than one coffee bean option. Service came across as cordial, with my pour over brought out to the table. The establishment offered free Wi-Fi; even on a Labor Day afternoon, multiple people set up to work.

I got an iced coffee to drink with oat milk. I enjoyed the coffee. There's street parking. I came on a Sunday so the parking was free. Quaint place. Your order then get a number and sit at a table and they bring your items to you. Just a couple seats outside. They also carried a few gluten free desserts like cookies and brownies and have season banana bread. I'll have to go back and try them another time.
