    Pastrami
    Nayiri M.

    We ordered to go so I can't comment on the ambiance. The order processs was easy and the food was ready quickly. I ordered the pastrami and it looked great but when I bit in the pastrami it had a lot of veins and it was difficult to bite. Every bite after was the same unfortunately so I wouldn't recommend this sandwich. I did LOVE the baguette though. If I try another sandwich I would get it on the baguette. My friend said the tuna melt was delicious, so it would be worth another try here.

    They have great sandwiches here. A little on the pricy side but it's probably because it's Newport Beach

    Chocolate chip

    I have seen this darling place for years, but never stopped in; I'm so glad that I did today for a late breakfast. The restaurant doesn't look like much until you walk in, then you are greeted by a quaint, clean and cozy place that beckons you to try everything. I looked over reviews and saw that the breakfast sandwich looked to be one of the top sandwiches, so I tried it and added bacon and avocado. Wow, it was HUGE and looked beautiful! The thick-cut bacon was piled on, along with cheddar cheese; the brioche bun was soft and flavorful, the fried egg was perfect and the avocado was soft and plentiful. The sandwich is delicious and certainly not your standard fried egg! (I could only eat 1/3 because it was so big.) I read that the cookies were also fab, so I ordered a peanut butter, then asked the checkout gal what other cookies were great to take home and she suggested chocolate chip and pecan shortbread. There is plenty to look at while you wait for your food to be prepared, like holiday gifts, Voluspa candles, decorative cocktail napkins, books, etc. There is also a small market inside that serves deli items. I took the food to go and heated the sandwich at home. I also tried a bite of each cookie (for science reasons, of course). The peanut butter was my favorite, with the chocolate chip and shortbread close behind in second and third place. I cannot wait to return soon! Classic Newport!

    What a great find in Newport. It doesn't look like much from the outside but the inside is so quaint and clean. The Asian wonton chicken salad was so unique! The homemade wontons were so good. The giant cookies were a must!!

    The godmother
    Spencer S.

    We stopped by to pick up lunch to go. You order at the register and then they prepare your order. There's also a little market (hence the name), with items like fruit, eggs, beer, flowers and random gifts. We ordered the godmother sandwich, which is piled high with several meats and veggies on ciabatta. Large enough to split between two if you're not super starving. Great lunch portion for us. We also split a regular sized iced coffee and enjoyed our items at a nearby park on a beautiful day! Total was around $16 as of March 2021, so not bad at all.

    MY FAVORITE sandwich

    A neighborhood favorite in Newport Beach, A Market is a legendary local sandwich shoppe, that additionally showcases a variety of quirky trinkets, books, cards, and more. Racks of glossy magazines lay stacked on paralleling walls as you approach the cash register, a friendly employee greets you with a gaze, and your eyes start to drift across the delicate paper menu, half crumpled from the day's use and stacked with an extraordinary paperweight. I ordered "MY FAVORITE" for takeaway on my last visit, and indeed it was just right combination of what seemed like all the wrong things...this sandwich is packed with turkey, avocado, pear & ginger marmalade, honey mustard, and watercress on a marble rye bread. Upon delivery, I jetted to the beach and sampled this dish with the waves lapping against the shore, a small pot of pickles was nestled in the to go box, that amplified the mix of flavors and gave it an extra rush of flavor mixed with the salty sea air. It may not be YOUR FAVORITE...but it definitely was, none other than, MY FAVORITE!

    Honestly really really enjoyed A market! My husband and I have been driving past it for the past 6 months and finally were like we are gonna stop and try it! Such a cute market and cafe. Service was friendly and very fast on a Saturday morning at brunch time. The seating outside was nice and perfect temperature. My husband LOVED the favorite sandwich. The egg sandwich wasn't bad but wasn't anything life changing. Enjoyed the latte as well. Definitely want to come back here!

    this sandwich is fireeeeeeeez love it. service is good and menu has lots of tasty options. totally stop by if you're in the area.

    No signage. No descriptions. No prices.
    Nicole H.

    There is no signage for the pastries. You don't know what they are, and you don't know how much they are. The guy at register was no help. I asked if there was a menu for the pastries, and he said no. I bought a peanut butter cookie and an all chocolate cookie. The all chocolate cookie tasted HARD, DRY, and CRUSTY. I was like is this from the day before? I talked to an older lady who looked like she could be the manager about how this cookie didn't taste as good as the peanut butter cookie, and she told me it was supposed to taste like that because it was a shortbread cookie. The guy never told me it was a shortbread cookie, and there was no signage to tell me otherwise. She did not care that I didn't like the cookie. She did not care that there was no signage. She also did not care that she adds a percentage to all her customers for her employees' insurance without letting us know beforehand. I asked her if I could have a different cookie, and she said I could buy another one. She is so emotionless, stoic, no smiles, no putting the customer first. I told her this was my first time at this place and that I Yelp a lot. I, unfortunately, had to put that out there. How are you going to tell me to buy another one of your description-less, cookies, take another chance and waste my money on who knows what? I uncomfortably pulled up some courage to tell you one of your cookies does not taste very good. You could have easily said sorry let's get you a different one. I'm sorry there are no signs to tell you otherwise. I'm sorry my cashier didn't tell you what it was. But, no. You had to get rude on your behalf for $3.25. Then, she started talking about me to someone next to her who was staring me down. She reluctantly gave me a different cookie, never apologized for anything, agreed with me that there was no signage and expected everything to be okay. Wow. I'll never be coming back to this place again. There are too many places in Orange County to choose from as far as cookies and sandwiches go not to mention way better service and upfront signage with descriptions and prices. Unbelievable.

My wife and I took a different ordering path that day. We shared 3 appetizers, rather than individual entrees. We shared the small Nachos, Brussels Sprouts and Cevichi. Each of these plates were very good and the portions were more than expected. I had asked for a glass for my beer. Sorry to say, it took a good 20 minutes for my request to be fulfilled. This request was the sole blemish. The food was excellent, as was the view of the waterway and boats. Very relaxing. Now, its your turn. Treat yourself, you've earned it. Enjoy. By all means, enjoy.

This has nothing to do with the food and the service. Our server was wonderful and accommodating. The food was quite good and we would have visited again. The rudeness of the owner was beyond words. We were seated with 4 kids and 6 adults. My child is 4 and was hitting his utensils on the table to make music. The owner immediately reprimanded him. She suggested giving the kids pencils and papers as an activity. I thought that was a great idea and said, "yes please". My son, like most children, began hitting his utensils again while waiting. When she saw, she said she would not give the kids the activity if they didn't stop. She then proceeded to snatch all utensils from the kids. I should have said something at that point but I didn't want to ruin the mood. We were celebrating my nephews 8th birthday. After that incident, my husband went up and gave her a suggestion about their menu. He was getting something from the car and didn't witness what happened with the utensils. He has a hard time reading and told her. She proceeded to say, "well we have 5 stars. Then added sarcastically, "well Happy Mother's Day to you too." Rude and uncalled for. I am not good with confrontation and we should have left the restaurant. However, I did not want to penalize our waitress and the other staff who have been great. The owner ultimately left the hostess area but I could hear her telling others that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Obviously that was directed at us. I like to give people the benefit of doubt but not from this type of treatment. She might have had a bad day but you can't act on emotions as a business owner. The thought also crossed my mind that she may have been racist. Needless to say, our birthday lunch was ruined and we couldn't help but discuss the treatment. Our waitress apologized on behalf of the owner but that was seriously inexcusable.

The Prime Skirt Steak looked appealing but was just average. It lacked flavor. What really left a bad impression was the issue with the seabass portions. My daughter arrived later & ordered the exact same Chilean Seabass dish, but her piece was literally about 1/3 the size of mine. We politely asked our server about the obvious difference. Eventually, a manager came out with a condescending tone insisting everything is weighed equally. The extra piece he brought out was basically the same small size as the first one my daughter received. At that point, the experience was already soured. We didn't even bother taking the extra piece or her leftovers home. Good cocktails & a few strong dishes, but the inconsistency & dismissive customer service would make us think twice about returning.

It's waterfront and can be accessed via the boardwalk (it's behind the street-side shops). Parking can be tough and very expensive - you'll likely have to park in the structure and walk over. Make sure to take your ticket with you for validation. Seating is available inside and outside on their covered patio. Plenty of space for parties of all sizes. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to make a same-day reservation for a Sunday afternoon. They had plenty of open seating even when we got there. Tables were very dirty. They have a lot of work to do - it seems like months if not years of food, dust, and salty moist air mixed together and collected in the creases in the tables, on the walls, etc.. It's like a sticky gross residue that never gets completely clean. Many people like to dress nice in the area but honestly I would hate to wear something nice here out of fear it would get dirty. We also required new plates as ours had old food stuck to them. Service was not great. Our waiter was somewhat attentive but not nice - the poor guy seemed miserable like he hated his job and did not want to be there. Despite the restaurant being full, he wouldn't come by often when we actually needed something - he even disappeared towards the end and a new waiter had to help us. Food is delicious. Besides the location, their saving grace. We tried the sandwiches and yummy! Fries were also delicious with the spicy mayo. Love the different options they have, overall. They also had some great looking food on the brunch and drinks section of the menu. You can scan the QR code at the table to see pictures of each menu item.
