What a great place!... A little hard to find in the back of the building but once you get there it's delightful. 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! read more

Two Bees Cafe is a perfectly hidden gem. If you aren't specifically seeking out the front entryway, you will miss it. 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! read more

Stopped in after walking around a bit in Dover. Walked up and ordered at the counter. We got a chocolate chip cookie, a couple of pastries, and an espresso orange juice spritzer and a cortado. All was delightful. I hope to come try the quiche next time. It was quaint, lots of seating outside. Some inside. Cute pastries. Great food. The drinks were wonderful. They were a bit busy. But one would expect that at such a lovely place. I'll be back. read more

Gorgeous bakery inside and out. The patio in the back is cozy and comfortable and alongside the Cocheco River. Service was excellent! I was underwhelmed by the pastries. The peanut sesame bar was OK, everything else was forgettable. 5 stars for ambiance, 3 stars for baked goods read more

I arrived early in town to visit Garrison City before it opened, so I looked for a cafe nearby. Two Bees Cafe was highly rated. It's a cute cafe in a condo building. Everyone is super nice. It's not a big cafe but I was able to find a seat. For a latte, I chose the Orange Blossom Spiced Latte. It was mostly spiced, no orange flavor. The flavor syrups are very few choices but maybe they have more specials other than my first visit. I really liked the sandwiches. They were a bit expensive, but great flavor. The bread was amazing quality for both. The North Country Smoked Turkey is loaded with turkey. The Ham and Raclette is a little messy to eat but lots of flavor! Overall, would go back! read more

Pastries are amazing! I'm very particular about viennoiserie pastry after eating from bakeries all over the world and these are top notch. The coffee was excellent as well. The vibe of the cafe is nice: simple uplifting decor and sunny with a view of the river. Too bad it was too cold to go on the patio because it looked incredible. read more

If I lived in the apartments and condos nearby, I'm sure I'd be back. But since I live near several amazing bakeries (Lils, Beach Pea, Enzo Benzo, to name a few) I doubt I'll be back. The cold brew was acidic and the pastries we purchased OK. read more

The pastries and croissants are wonderful. Unfortunately we were almost finished eating by the time my cocoa arrived. It was delicious though. It was quite busy and it is a small place if you can't sit outside. You can buy everything to go though Because of the limited indoor seating, it was hard seeing people working on their computers for long periods of time though. We'll definitely go back. read more

Delicious, pricey but Delicious. Purchased 3 deserts and they were all very good. The peanut butter sesame bar was so creamy, I wanted to sneak away to eat it so I would not have to share. My son got a chocolate croissant that was very fluffy and tasty, my spouse got a banana cream tart. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

By far my favorite place for a cappuccino and plain croissant. While they have many other wonderful pastries I find their croissants to be the closest to those I have had in Europe. I highly recommend and return regularly! read more

Atmosphere is great. Large windows with view of the river really gave off a great vibe. We enjoyed everything that we ordered. I can tell it was crafted well with intention. Look at how pretty it all is. Out of the 4 my favorites were the jammy egg brioche which had great flavor. And the pistachio almond cake. The pannacotta was good but I'm not a fan of freeze dried strawberries. The scones was flaky but I didn't taste much jalapeño in it. The only remark and why I didn't give a 5 star was service. The person that took our order looked like a deer in the headlights. I know it's a new business, this person looked relatively young. However, when they asked us 4-5 different times what we ordered even though we were pointing and saying their names as listed on the labels and they just had no idea. Shows that maybe they need a bit more education on the food offerings. If it was another person other than us ( we've both worked food service) they probably would have gotten some rude pushback. No customer wants to be asked 4-5 times what we want to order because the person at the register either wasn't paying attention or doesn't know the menu. read more

Delicious light lunch and amazing pastries! Very European vibe with attention to detail.

This patisserie is legit! Can't give them enough accolades. My wife and I travel a lot and I would put Two Bees up against any of the amazing cafes we have visited in France, Italy or Spain. Service is always impeccable. Love this place read more

I've lived in Dover my whole life and never knew this was here. Came in yesterday with my girlfriend for a coffee and a snack was very impressed!

Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor, nice staff, and my cappuccino was good. The chocolate croissant was delicious and massive! So many buttery layers. Prices seemed a little high. read more

The food is incredible. Unique pastries are baked fresh in-house and kept being put in the beautiful display case as we sat. They have lots of gluten-free options. The drinks are delicious. The charming decor makes the environment cozy. The place was busy on a Wednesday and a Friday morning, all tables full, but everyone was polite and courteous. The staff are helpful, accommodating, and kind. read more

What a great find! We went on a rainy day so their patio was closed, but looked great, right on the river. Coffee was delicious and the pastries were some of the best we have eaten. There croissants are really good, we had the ham and cheese. The chocolate chip cookies were so good we got more to bring home. And lastly the pastry with a soft baked egg in the middle!!!!! Holy Moly that was awesome. We will be coming back!! read more

Great selection of fresh pastries and cookies! They were all delicious and great flavor combinations. The service was attentive and professional. I had take out but the cafe is open and airy with great river views. read more

Best bakery!!!! Everything is thoughtfully prepared. From the sandwiches with black pepper mayo to the cinnamon bun. Hands down best bakery I've been to and I frequent them all over wells and kennebunk. read more

My husband and I stumbled upon this place while we were in the area for a short getaway after our wedding. The cafe is so cute, bright, adorably decorated with plenty of green plants and natural sunlight, and the staff is very friendly. The coffee is excellent, the quiche is one of the best we've ever had, and the Pimento Jammy Egg Brioche Bun was delicious, but the real show stopper was the Earl Grey Morning Bun which is a true triumph in texture and perfectly balanced flavors. The outside is crispy and flakey and the inside is chewy and impossibly tender - it practically melts in your mouth. It's covered in sugar but is just sweet enough and has the subtle earthy-floral flavors of Earl Grey tea without it being overpowering. My husband lived in Norway for a couple of years so he was in heaven to find such a high-quality morning bun outside of Scandinavia. We found this place on our first day and came back again a few days later before heading out of town for more morning buns. Do not sleep on this place - get a morning bun you won't regret it! read more

Quite pleased with my first experience at Two Bees! The vibes of the space were wonderful and reminded me of my favorite boulangerie in New Orleans; the cafe is bright, gets lots of natural light, and has a wall of windows overlooking the water. My iced coffee was lovely, and my savory brioche egg treat was fresh and delicious. I'm excited for others to give this new business a try -- welcome to Dover, Two Bees! read more

Cute place, expensive as hell and the pastries are dry. Not worth the money in my opinion. Won't go back.

It's tucked away in a condo complex and not easy to get to. There is absolutely no parking close to this establishment. Now for the better part of this review. The pastry was outstanding! The clerk was somewhat snotty but despite that the baked goods were outstanding! We brought a few chocolate chip cookies home and I dare say they were the best I've ever had! I wish it were closer to my home in Portsmouth and easier to get to. read more
