    Blueberry cake
    Bre B.

    Searched yelp for cafe near me and chose Picnic because it looked intriguing. This is a really adorable cafe connected to an inn-great choices, delicious pastries. I chose the blueberry cake...sweet, moist and loaded with berries,so good! The roast chicken sandwich had perfect proportions of meat, greens, and mayo-I chose multigrain bread which was excellent. My only constructive guidance was that the coleslaw was too vinegary tart for me but I loved the potato salad! I got blackberry mocha coffee with oatmilk-creamy deliciousness! Really great find here I'll def return! Check it out you won't regret.

    Chocolate pistachio latte and Black cherry latte

    Solid spot. My boyfriend and I came for a light lunch after passing by the corner cafe and seeing the long line. We shared a grilled cheese which came with cold slaw, salad, and potato salad. We also got a delicious Reese's cookie. I enjoyed the chocolate pistachio latte, the black cherry one was really good too! This cafe is also attached to a hotel. We sat outdoors. There are plenty of nice shops around too.

    Popped into Picnic for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of delicious baked goods and the quaint atmosphere! We were welcomed in and our questions answered as we ordered. My friends had the summer strawberry salad and I had a bowl of clam chowder (even in summer, chowder makes me happy). Their salads were lovely and portioned well. My chowder came with a ciabatta roll which was the highlight- the chowder too thin and lacked clams- the broth tasty and potatoes held, but it's not a highlight of their menu. We also grabbed a couple of their enormous cookies to go- Reese's PB Cup cookie was soft and sinful and the chocolate chip was the perfect ratio of sweet and salty. I think sandwiches and pastry are the way to go for the next visit!

    One of the best pastries I've had! Everything tasted so good and fresh even at the end of the day. We came in 15 minutes before closing but ordered a variety of pastries. Each one of them were good. The peanut butter cookie, double chocolate chip cookie, blueberry muffin, strawberry cheesecake loaf, lemon cake, pain au chocolate and almond croissant! The drinks were good too but the pastries stood out the most.

    Sad salad

    Not too hungry and tired after walking all around Newport so decided to grab a quick salad to go at this cute little shop. Ordered the "Antioxidant Salad". Sounded so good with blueberries, almonds, cranberries and greens. Plus the photos of other salads looked great with plenty of colorful ingredients. Unfortunately when I got back to my hotel I found this sad small salad. Eventually I found a few blueberries in the bottom and the greens were fresh enough but very disappointing considering the price.

    Spinach feta pastry
    Julia A.

    Coffee was okay, but I reaaally enjoyed the food here! Had a spinach feta pastry and soup of the day (at the time was Italian Wedding Soup) which came with bread, butter, and oyster crackers. The pastries look delightful in their cases... so worth it to get a selection warmed up for your walk home!

    One weekend afternoon in April 2026 I decided to pastry taste five spots in Newport Rhode Island. Unfortunately Picnic came in 5 of 5. I got a blueberry muffin and a sort of pound cake with coconut frosting. Both were fairly bland and the muffin was even overbaked on the top. Perhaps they cater to folks who don't like much sweetness in their patries. The place was pleasant enough ambience and design wise but the staff seemed very uninspired and even morose. In my opinion there are much better pastry shops in town.

    I stayed at Hotel Viking across the street but I gravitated to Picnic for my morning coffee and lunch. What I was most impressed with was the freshness of everything offered. The baked goods are fresh and baked on premises Soups are made on premises Nice lunch offerings They know how to use the espresso machine Picnic opens at 8? I was at the door 7:59 getting my latte. I must point out, they are many unique breakfast offerings. There are tarts with eggs baked in the middle as well as lots of savory baked item choices. I had lunch here twice, I ordered a New England Clam Chowder and Lobster Salad. A typical New England lunch, I'm sure they're serving these items in grade school with coffee milk. Rhode Island baby! My soup was amazing and came with a side of warm, freshly baked bread. My lobster salad was all lobstery, not made with fillers and was a large portion so no complaints from me. Picnic, it was a pleasure to dine at your establishment for the week.

    Egg croissant
    Caitlin A.

    Enjoyed the egg croissant at Picnic. The croissant was buttery and fresh. The employees were friendly and there is a cute sitting area to eat your food. No wifi or laptops allowed to encourage being present and conversation.

    Food: very delicious. Their pastries are delicious. We walked 15 minutes to get croissants and ended up getting bunch of other pastries. Service: this is a small place. You order at the counter and take your stuff. If you order coffee etc, they quickly bring it to your table. Value: prices are OK. They are a tad on the high side but croissants are really, really good. The place is really cute and I would highly recommend it.

    Mozz - Charcuterie spread from Mozz's apertivo hour

    Mozz

    4.0(26 reviews)

    Mozz is one of my favorite hidden spots to grab a quick breakfast or lunch when running errands…read morearound Bellevue Avenue and environs. You'd never know it was once a Newport Creamery (super casual diner-style eatery), because the owners have done an excellent job of renovating the space into an Italian-inspired fresh cafe. Of course, the house Mozzarella is a standout, and they do provide samples upon request. They also have an impressive array of imported cheese and meats, perfect for crafting a memorable charcuterie board. I love their Espresso brewed fresh to order with pistachio milk (!! Where else have you ever seen pistachio milk?!), and the Frittata with potato and onion is my favorite for a light brunch moment. Make sure you ask them to heat it up for you! Ample seating inside and outside at adorable cafe tables round out the Italian street cafe vibe, and Mozz is not to be missed for your Newport adventure!

    One weekend afternoon in April 2026 I decided to pastry taste five spots in Newport Rhode Island…read more Mooz came in 4 of 5. It's a solid Italian spot with lots of food and sweet choices. I got a canolli and sfogliatella.. It's the only spot I found in town with Italian treats you can pickup and go. The canolli was really tasty but it was very small and very expensive. The sfogliatella matched the taste and quality of those I had in Napoli, Italy. It was expensive though. The spot has a pleasant sitting area that's functional but not necessarily cute to sit in and relax. Not much to look at inside. Overall a spot to get your Italian fix if you feel like paying the prices. It does have a great selection of cheeses, meats, and Italian goods which admittedly I didn't try. It's a slightly expensive spot even for Newport which is already an expensive town to eat in.
