We've been coming here for a while now and so far we're still loving it! Small cozy place good for breakfast, brunch or lunch. We love everything we have tried so far but a couple of our favorites are their breakfast sandwich and their cinnamon rolls. I believe the cinnamon rolls are baked only on weekends. Place is always clean. You line up to order and they will call your name once order is ready. Service is always good and staff are all nice and friendly.

My husband brought me home a sugar bun latte and Gluten free banana bread and they are both fantastic! The latte has a great flavor and the gluten free banana bread is the best thing I've ever had gluten free it's so moist and delicious! 10/10

Patsy's salad

A cute, quaint deli for American farm-to-table fare and baked goods just a stones throw away from the beach! For dine in, the food arrives pretty quickly but there isn't much seating and the parking is very limited. I also found a hair baked into my banana bread, which was unfortunate. That said, the portions are pretty generous and the Patsy's salad with avocado, chicken, beets, and kale was incredibly fresh and high quality. The farmers market stand outside the cafe was also a nice touch.

Pastrami

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.

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!

john's sandwich: turkey, mozzarella, pesto on a grilled sourdough = $11

We wanted to try a cold and hot sandwich for our first time. We ordered the surfin bird and the Malibu, along with a fountain drink and chips!

I even happened to come during happy hour, which was a pleasant surprise! I ordered the Surfin' Bird with chips, and it was phenomenal. The sandwich was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly put together. The cashier (I wish I had caught her name!) was amazing, she took the time to recommend the best bread for my sandwich, and she absolutely nailed it. Her suggestions made an already great meal even better. To top it off, I tried a 50/50 mix of the Blackberry Lemonade Seltzer and Jamaica Cider, and wow... it was so refreshing and delicious! I also grabbed two warm chocolate chip cookies, which were the perfect sweet ending to the meal. Between the outstanding customer service, delicious food, refreshing drinks, and fun atmosphere, I can definitely see why this place has such a great reputation. I'll absolutely be back to work my way through more of the menu. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great sandwich spot with friendly staff and a relaxed beach vibe!

I recently ordered the Seasonal GOAT with Pink Lady Apples Salad, and while the ingredients were fresh and the salad tasted good, the portion was incredibly disappointing. The website shows a beautiful, generously portioned salad overflowing with ingredients. What I actually received was noticeably smaller, with significantly less lettuce and toppings, and a lot of empty space in the bowl. It honestly looked more like a side salad than a full entrée. I understand that promotional photos are styled, but there should still be some consistency between what's advertised online, displayed in-store, and actually served to customers - especially given the price. I've had much better experiences with portion sizes at other Mendocino Farms locations, which makes the inconsistency here even more frustrating. I've attached side-by-side photos so others can see the difference. I really enjoy Mendocino Farms and hope this location can address the portion inconsistencies and bring its standards in line with the other locations!

I then douse it with the chili garlic sauce, which I think is a must have; however, there is still garlic inside the wrap, so you may smell like garlic for the rest of the day.

There are plenty of seats outside with some shade, but only a handful of tables inside. It's in a plaza with various other shops, so parking is very accessible. Food didn't take too long, I think we got our food after 10 minutes or so of waiting. Honestly the presentation is solid. I got The Bowl Bowl, and my friends ordered the chicken wrap, Newport Bowl, and we shared Za'atar and sweet potato fries. The bowls came with a citrus sauce, but we had to order extra garlic and chili sauce on the side for the wrap and fries. The fries with sauce were honestly sooo good. The sweet potato fries had this amazing soft texture and it melted in your mouth, the sweetness paired nicely with the sharp garlic sauce. The Za'atar fries were well seasoned and had a nice crisp. They give you a good amount for the price! I personally enjoyed The Bowl Bowl, the quinoa mixed with fresh corn, big chunks of sweet potato (I think they would have been better cut smaller), avocado, their grilled chicken, and chips. I mixed it with the sauce and additional toum and thought it was a perfect post-workout bowl. Hefty, nutritious, and good for the cost ($15). I tried a bit of the Newport Bowl and it was basically a regular salad bowl, nothing special and in my opinion - not worth the price. You're better off trying a more varied bowl or wrap. The chicken wrap was fine, there were some pickled veggies that added a good crunch. The main reason why I'm hesitant to come here again (besides the fries) is that the chicken was quite dry in all of these dishes, and it didn't really have a prominent char or flavor/smell that would indicate it's been charcoal grilled. I do want to try this place again when it's not as busy, basically to see if the chicken quality holds up to other reviews.

The sandwich selection offered a great variety of options and instantly reminded us of some of the delis we visited in Italy. The employee mentioned that fresh focaccia would be ready in about 10 minutes, which was a thoughtful heads-up and definitely worth the wait. I ordered the Carissimo, while my husband--who tends to prefer simpler flavors--went with the Not a Muffuletta without the olive salad. At first, the price for two sandwiches felt a little steep, but after taking a few bites, it felt justified. The focaccia was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. If I had one small suggestion, it would be slightly thinner bread to let the fillings shine even more. That said, both sandwiches were delicious, satisfying, and surprisingly light while still filling. As with many spots on Balboa Island, seating is limited, so I'd recommend planning to take your food to go and enjoy it on the beach or at one of the nearby benches. Overall, though pricier for a sandwich, this is a wonderful addition to the island and a great spot for a summer lunch.
