Holy cow is this place awesome!! I've popped in for great coffee a few times, but yesterday decided to get a couple of bites to go. I don't know what they are called, but I asked for quiche and was shown a perfectly sized, crustless, egg, souffle-like creation that was EXACTLY what I wanted. Absolutely delicious and I was so happy I got two. The owners are warm and welcoming, and the staff is so friendly and helpful. They are organized, bright, clean, and it's just a happy vibe in the best location. BUT THE FOOD! Can't wait to go back to try more. Keep up the great work, guys!

small cafe in the upper part of Newport, easy to reach on foot, a little outside the tourist center of the port. In addition to the coffee, it is suitable for a lunch break, simple sandwiches, sweet and savoury pies. Very nice The adjacent room or the table outside you can sit and taste The picnic service is nice and smart

Picnic Cafe is a hidden gem in Newport with so much to offer! From a wide variety of coffees and refreshing drinks to an impressive selection of croissants, cakes, sandwiches, salads, rolls, and burgers—there’s something for everyone. We ordered a croissant with oat milk coffee, the chocolate and almond croissant, and a slice of strawberry cake. Everything was absolutely perfect—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Truly one of the best cafés we’ve visited. Highly recommended for a cozy and delicious stop!

They have sandwiches, salads, coffee, pastries, etc and the food is fantastic. They have a variety of hot and iced teas which is harder to find these days. They also over picnics and food for your boat outing. Sophie helped us and the service was excellent.

★★★★★ 5.0 Andrew Schneider · Sep 2024

Loved everything that entered my mouth in this place. Blackened salmon and turkey sandwiches were both incredible, although both sandwiches I tried were pretty messy (complimentary). The dirty chai was a perfect blend of spicy and sweet. The fruit tart pastry was top tier as well. Perfect cute lunch/coffee shop vibe, but don’t go here to work on your laptop because that’s not what this place is about. Loved my experience and food here all around.
