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.

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.

Ohhhh what a quaint and deliciously tasty cafe. We stayed across the street for an overnight and had to visit Picnic 2x in less than 24 hours. It’s THAT good! IRS a small shop but you can dine in at the few tables they have. We got roped in with their fresh made lattes and amazing.. AHHHHMAZING pastries! I have such a sweet tooth so pastry hunting is my thing! We got a variety of things and the winners were: almond croissant, chocolate croissant, cinnamon swirl, on cookie, custard fruit tart… soooo delicious.. the savory picks were good mainly the ham and cheese croissant.. it was a little dry but the mustard helped! Def check out this lovely cafe and enjoy the sweet service and treats!

Cute little place for coffee, pastries, salads, and some light food (hotdogs). The pastries look fresh and there’s a good number of options. I would have loved for them to be less wasteful with all the plastic and provide real plates and silverware when dining in.

Cozy place to take a break. The almond pastries were the best. Also tried the raspberry latte and it was amazing.

Jess took our order and she was absolutely lovely. My coffee came out very good as did my bacon egg and cheese. The place itself is also very cute. Great service and great food! Would definitely recommend.

Went around 3:30 when it was completely empty. The pastry and sandwich was absolutely delicious and the historic building the cafe was in was beautiful. Their hours are excellent when a lot of other cafes are closed. Highly recommend to anyone needing a meal. Parking wasn’t a struggle- but it was a weekday in the off-season so I imagine it’s more difficult to park around here in the summer.
