The House of Coffi

Some of the best coffee out there. They have light, medium, and dark roast. If you like your coffee a certain way, this is the spot.

Today I swallowed my depression and became a writer.
Again.
I stop believing in myself.
Never suffer from writer's block. Just writers doubt.

For over a month, I passed this coffee shop.
I knew I wanted to stop.
Fear beating down the block. My heart dropped, and I drove away.

Today I press, open my chest, and perform my best.
I met a woman outside who was decorating the tables with flowers.
She introduces me to her husband, and we exchange military stories.

She said, for an Army guy, you have a lovely smile.
I entered. New to the menu. Not much of a coffee drinker, so I went with the hot cocoa.

I asked the barista what's the best sandwich, and she recommended turkey, brie, and apple panini—shocked when it came with veggie fries. A new thing for me, primarily since I had never heard of them.

Well, my goal was to finish a chapter in my upcoming novel, and I could taste the accomplishment before I started.
Finished. Cross the line. I'm a winner.

I even purchased a T-shirt. There's a $500 contest for one lucky customer who takes a picture wearing the shirt when you are out of state.

Well, Mr. Sweet Home Alabama has a contest to enter before Oct.

Wish me luck.

The End

Cute place with amazing staff. Coffee was delicious and so was the crème filled croissant I got! Support small businesses and leave a tip if you have a couple dollars.

The location of this coffee shop was fantastic! Plenty of (2-hour) parking nearby, across the street from the Dover library, short walking distance to the art museum AND the square of historic buildings. The place was great too, though the interior was cramped. Most of the seating is outside, though there are plenty of umbrellas. Inside, they also sell some local art, which I thought was great, especially being so close to the art museum. The muffin was great and their seasonal drinks seemed very unique (Fortune Cookie latte?!) and would definitely have me coming back to see what's new.

Ordered 2 dirty chais with oat milk and the total came out to be $7.50, which I thought was such a great price! Big fan of the drinks. There’s an extensive and fun menu that I hope to try out next time I visit. Staff was super friendly and I loved the decor!

I work remotely and love to come here to get out of the house for a few hours a day during the week. Drinks are top-notch. Food tasty. Staff and owner are always so very friendly and welcoming. (It's a fun place to people-watch, too. Lotta traffic and interesting patrons coming and going all day.) & between the outside patio, the barstools, the lounge, and the dining area, there is a lot of variety to help you find that particular mood you want. Also, the HoC scored some prime real estate in lovely downtown Dover, so it's very convenient as there's a lot to see within walking distance. Great place to visit!

Love this new little piece of coffee heaven in Dover! The owner is as sweet as the cruffins! Try the mint mocha iced!

Adorable cafe, tasty breakfast, and incredibly kind staff!

Their espresso drinks are delicious, service impeccable, and overall great atmosphere. With the pandemic, they allow pick up order of their beans (which they source locally) for home brewing and will even grind it for you. Highly recommend!

I’m from Maine, heard great things about this cafe. I bought two muffins and two coffees. Loved it. Planned to come here every Sunday morning. The coffee was great, environment was great. We sat down and near the end of our meal, I was cleaning off the table. I always like to help the servers out. I accidentally spilled my entire coffee that I had two sips of. I felt embarrassed and felt terrible for making a mess. I got on the floor with napkins, cleaning the floor and wall. I was more upset that I spilled my $4 coffee. I asked if I had to pay full price for a whole new one. The two girls working both said yes and there was nothing they could do. However the owner was extremely helpful and pleasant. Offered a gift card and free coffee. Great place!
