Normally I opt for a dark coffee, black with no sugar. So it was with more than a little trepidation that I ordered a chocolate banana flavored iced coffee. I was more than pleasantly surprised!

Finding out what you want to try is going to be the challenge at Dover's newest coffee, breakfast, pastry, and candy shop, . I asked owner Ben Dube's opinion on where to start and he'd mentioned a number of the earliest customers were gravitating to the bacon flavors. I wasn't so sure how that would worked in iced form. Check out the options!

I don't even know where to start!

Despite the 500 available coffee flavors, what suggests The Java Factory is likely to quickly become a downtown Dover staple is candy. Lots and lots of candy. City officials came up with the idea and they were completely on board with the idea.

The store just opened up and isn't 100% up to speed just yet-- more breakfast sandwich and milkshake options are on the way, as well as more signage. Ben seemed a little sheepish about how well the start has gone, noting that he'd nearly sold out of a day's worth of doughnuts before noon. Fortunately, I was able to snag a couple of the apple filled offerings that survived the rush and ogled these for several minutes.

Between great coffee options like Adelle's and Flight, bakery options from Harvey's and Duston's, and breakfast options from Cafe Espresso and Week's (just to name a few), Dover has no shortage of excellent places to visit. The Java Factory has a little of everything and with chocolate covered twinkies too!

This. I want this right now.
