Harvey's Bakery Coffee Shop - Dover

If you’re over 70 this place is a gem. It’s not a modern bakery, not an Italian bakery. It’s just an old person bakery. Closed on Sunday? Odd. I would think the weekend is the most profitable time for a bakery. Anytime I want a pastry it’s on Sunday.

Great place enjoyed a breakfast on our way through town, super nice people and great food.

Superb hidden jewel in Dover, first time there. We had BLT with home fries, and the Pork pie platter, eggs, toast, home fries, and a pastry. My companion delighted in the pork pie and there were ready made ones for sale in the entrance. The service was perfection-two people there to make sure, and the display case tempted the palate and eyes with sweets and savory items, they were busy early but we had no problem getting in and out with a promise to keep returning, everything offered sure to please. Priced around $20.00 for 2, there was coffee and tomatoe juice, and the tip was well earned. Very large inside, wouldn't know it from the outside. On a return visit for lunch I was let down with my order-the Crab Cakes are not a good choice-2 tiny patties had a strong fishy smell and I could not eat them. My associate again had the pork pie. In contrast I compare the Crab Cakes from Hannaford-at $1 each a real bargain-got 4 and will buy again on sale this week-plump, very tasty and weigh in at 2.5 oz. each an excellent side or main dish, good all day and cold.

Service wasn’t great at all! I was never asked if I needed anything else, no refill on coffee and no smile on here face. I didn’t feel welcomed. But the bill was placed on the table and I wasn’t even done eating! Normally I prefer to go to traditional family owned restaurants, bakeries. But this was very disappointing. BTW … Carlene was the waitress

Pastry was good and reasonably priced. One staff member was polite and helpful, the other, not so much.
