OOOOOO!  This could not be a better outcome for our beloved Harvey's Bakery on Central Ave. in Dover.

We just found out that there is a new tenant and she's bringing back that same loving, comforting feeling of Harvey's.  Did I just type those words?  I think I did.  Let me tell you about Aubrey.

You Already Know the Tenant Who is Taking Over Harvey's Bakery in Dover

Remember that coffee/breakfast place located on 2 Punkintown Road in South Berwick, Maine?  The coffee and breakfast items were delicious!  That was Aubrey's Coffee House and Bakery.  Yes, the very same Aubrey coming to Dover in the old Harvey's Bakery space.

 

Downtown Dover Will Have Sweet Smells Once Again

Aubrey grew up going to Harvey's with her Dad and her Grandfather, so she knows the smells of love and probably was inspired to create her own deliciousness.

She said in her Facebook post when she made the decision to close Aubrey's in South Berwick, she didn't know what was next.  Maybe she wished so much for the perfect spot for her new chapter, that it finally came true!

Here's what people said about Aubrey when she had her place in South Berwick, according to Yelp, (mostly 5 stars!):

This is my favorite local bakery!! Everything about it is just so on point. Trust me, you don't want to miss them!  Baked goods are over the top yummy- and they offer lots of gluten free choices.

They have the BEST breakfast sandwiches around (& the hot sauce is also amazing)! We've tried almost all of the sandwiches at this point & each one of them are incredible!  Aubrey's is the best coffee shop around
I can't wait to see the space, Aubrey!  Harvey's was one of our favorite places, as it was for you too, so, I'm sure you'll make Pam and her family proud!  Let's start your streak of 90+ years in business in that spot, whaddya say?!
Find Aubrey at 376 Central Avenue, Dover, NH sometime this Summer of 2026.
Congratulations!
