It would be easy to fall for Cafe d'Marie's charm, slightly off the beaten path inside of a converted historic home. But my wife and I were quickly snapped back to reality... because that was the only thing that was 'quick' about our visit. Our wait to be seated during Saturday brunch hours was bearable -- 5-10 minutes for the small dining room. However once we were seated, it didn't really seem all that crowded. That's an important point because it took about 10-15 for anyone to come take our order, to offer us water, to say hello... anything. I had to grab our menus from another desk. Believe me, we were very tempted to leave. Someone who appeared to be in charge (perhaps the owner) came over in the nick of time. I ordered the muffuletta which was supposed to be served with puréed hot peppers and olive oil sauce. These were missing when the dish arrived tableside which was very disappointing. When everything was finally delivered, the sandwich tasted really good. But I can't get past the poor quality of service. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would hahaha. If you love quiche and quality..this is the place. It was cold, snowing and we aren't from the area. Naturally I looked to YELP for a rec and this place came up. Sooo glad we came. We will come back. Again, and again, and again. The service is above and beyond. The owner brought a sample of soup to make sure we would like it. Of course it was the best mushroom soup we have ever had. All fresh ingredients. Creamy. read more

I found an old review draft of mine, and want to finish now. I had Turkey Panini Sandwich here 7 years ago, and it was the best Sandwich ever. I ordered another piece of sandwich as it was so good. I wonder if the quality is the same now, but will definitely go back there if I ever go to Iowa again. read more

Cafe d'Marie is a gem for the city of Davenport. The customer service is amiable, personable, and very humble but will give great guidance on menu choices upon request. They will do everything they can to assure your morning or afternoon is a relaxing, blissful, and peaceful one with the hugs of their warm, rich lattes and impressive savory of their quiches. read more

Every once in a while, you find a truly special place that feels like home, has amazing food, and that you know you will never forget. We did not want to leave this delightful spot. The asparagus soup was world class. Food was fresh and full of flavor. And get dessert! Warm bread pudding or chocolate cake. Both were perfect!! I'm tea lover, and they had a whole menu of fresh brewed teas. Hot or iced! Black teas, green teas, white teas, even the delicate pu-erhs. Must stop in Iowa!! The owners are the most lovely people you will meet! read more

Cafe d'Marie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davenport, Iowa

I don't like writing bad reviews but I feel like my experience should be shared. I would like to say, there were a couple times that I was at fault and I understand that but I feel like I made honest mistakes whereas, the management made worse. So when I first came in, I parked in what seemed to be an alley of the parking lot (totally fine since the cafe is in a neighborhood) and I was confused on where to go inside since there were 2 different doors from that I could see. For reference, I parked behind the outdoor seating area but the sign said to go in through the front foyer. I wasn't sure where that was since, from my point of view, I was in the front (Looking back on it and how the house was designed, not the owners fault of course, I should have deduced that the front foyer was on the opposite end of the property. However, I feel like that should have been clarified or had more signs showing the direction of where to go because there were multiple doors). Therefore, I go in a door that I thought was an entrance and I ended up in a closet/kitchen/bathroom area. At this point, I wondered if I accidentally just let myself into someone's house but I heard voices and cooking so I kept going inside. However the hallways were very small (not even a single arms reach wide) and it was very busy so getting through was a mess. Eventually, I got up to a counter to order and as I ordered, the lady made my food. I specifically wanted to check out this cafe because I heard it had gluten free cinnamon rolls and I'm gluten free so I was very excited but when I was looking at the menu (which had very very small font and was formatted weirdly) I couldn't see the cinnamon rolls. However, I noticed that to my left was a shelf that had a lot of stickers and whatnot, and intermixed with the stickers, there was a piece of paper with the ingredients of the gluten free cinnamon roll (think of an ingredient sheet). I believe it said gluten free cinnamon roll on it but the text was so small and nothing was bolded so it was hard to decipher. While that was not a big deal, what comes next is the customer service. Since this was my first time there, I wasn't aware of any "rules" (like if you sat yourself or if they would seat you) so I just picked an empty table and ate my cinnamon roll there. However, they were very very busy and I looked around to see that many of the other tables didn't have food (I don't think any of the tables had food and the cafe was filled). I was in a room/area with only 2 other tables and a couple at one of the tables also looked confused. I overheard them talking and they were saying how they were there for 20 minutes and nobody had checked up on them. They were also wondering if they were supposed to go to the counter and order or if someone was supposed to take their order. As I was taking a bite, the lady that took my order (I assume was the manager) had come up to me and asked me to leave. I was very surprised because all I did was order a latte and a cinnamon roll and sit down to eat. She said that she thought that I was ordering it to-go (at no point in my order did I say that was ordering it to-go and at no point in my order did she ask for here or to-go). That was when I realized that she had given me a to-go cup for my latte and my cinnamon roll in a styrofoam container. Since this was my first time here, I didn't know that they would typically use actual plates and a mug for guests that were eating there and I had nowhere to look for reference since no one else had their food. Furthermore, the lady told me that she already sat someone at my table (I don't know how because I was sitting for a total of maybe 2 minutes and nobody had come by) and that I needed to go. She looked behind her to see if the couple was still there but they had left. Once she realized they left, she swore out loud and still insisted that I needed to go. At this point, I was frustrated because the people who were supposed to be taking my seat had left and I was already sitting there first. While I recognize that maybe I was supposed to order at my table or with a waitress (none of which that they had on the floor), I feel like this was a management issue. There was no sign saying that I was ordering at a takeout counter, it was also the only counter that I saw that you could order from and additionally, you couldn't see the front foyer (which I found out later was the place you were supposed to go to get seated) from the restaurant area. Overall, while the food was good and the ambiance was incredible, this poor management really showed. There was no one out taking orders from tables nor were there people actively getting seated however I saw at least 7 workers behind the counter making food. All of this to conclude that the service (more specifically, the management) was awful read more

Food was okay. Service not so much. Ambiance is quaint. The staff honestly acts like they don't care if you are there or not. Was ignored forever in the entryway and they weren't really that busy. Mentioned up front we would be wanting dessert and nobody ever came back to wait on us and didn't really see any staff to flag down. Won't be returning no matter how Christian chic they try to be. read more

I almost hate to add to the flood of good reviews, because this spot gets busy enough already. But it's excellent and deserves all of its success. You can't go wrong with their soup, sandwiches, deserts and coffee. Their quiche is alleged to be wonderful too, but I can't stop ordering the lunch combo (soup/sandwich or salad pick 2 combo). Perfect lunch sizes, great combinations, fresh and delicious. The kind and friendly service is casual and unpolished, but no complaints from me. They're open fairly limited hours and seem to be very busy whenever they're open. This lovely place is a local gem and I'm always glad get a chance to get there read more

We were in the Quad Cities for a dance competition on Saturday, and decided to play tourists on Sunday. That's when we stumbled across Café D'Marie--and I'm so glad we did. The staff here are warm and welcoming, the kind of people who make you feel like a regular on your first visit. The food was absolutely outstanding--thoughtful, fresh, and full of flavor. Every bite reminded me why hidden gems like this are worth seeking out. If I lived in the Quad Cities, this would be one of my go-to spots without question. Café D'Marie is the kind of place that makes you wish you had more Sundays to spend here. Highly recommend. read more

Very adorable cafe in a house. Unique food choices and lots of tea and coffee choices . Be prepared to wait awhile but well worth it !

Found Cafe d'Marie online. Good thing we did because if you're not local you'd be hard pressed to discover the goodness inside of this place. Driving by there's an open light in the window and a small banner on the deck. That's all that tells you this is a public establishment and not a private home. Cafe d'Marie is a family affair and great care is shown toward wanting the customer to enjoy their experience. The owner was very welcoming and pleasant to chat with while we waited for our drinks and cookie. The homemade bakery items are the bomb and while we didn't have one the panini sandwiches sounded equally intriguing. There's indoor seating and a nice backyard area as well. A fun little stop we stumbled across only a few blocks from the downtown market area. read more

So, I'm from out of town some 3 + hrs drive away. I had some in town local business, and I had wanted to try a top rated lunch place. It's a breakfast, lunchtime spot with an abundance of character. It's located in a later 1800's Davenport IA. historical converted home. Next to the railroad tracks in the city. I placed a take away phone order, in which they didn't pester me for any payment. Wow, total trust. So, I ordered two Muffuletta (with the ham, salami) sandwiches which come with potato chips. You can specify the spiciness level. They were quite flavorful. I also ordered the Lemon Zest cake and the Chocolate Espresso slices. Both were moist and tasty. I wasn't crazy about their flimsy takeaway containers and they packaged everything in one paper bag. When I had asked, they separated some items like the cake slices. Overall, a very nice welcoming experience and a nice chat with the harder working woman owner. I would definitely return when in Davenport. read more

Haven't been in a long time but thought it would be somewhere different than our normal rotation. Happy to be back here. This is one of those places that offers fresh, simple food that's well-executed. Nothing fancy but extremely homey and comfortable. Makes me feel like I'm a kid at a family members house being served lunch -- in a good way! It gives you that cared for, sleepy Sunday afternoon feel. Yes, it's in a home and a little packed with tables and decor (Christmas stuff year round but who cares). It's quaint and adorable and lovely. It's clean despite being lived in so I'm here for it. Their coffee and baked goods are where it's at. But the paninis are really yummy and the soup was great! Note that strollers are a little complicated inside. I would recommend leaving it outside or sitting on the beautiful patio weather permitting. Don't come here if you're in a hurry - which by the way is very European in and of itself. So sit down, relax, have a nice conversation or bring a book (or order to go). This place clearly has a good following but is approachable for anyone who is going for the first time. You'll likely be amazed at how lively it is in such a small space when from the road it looks like nothing more than an 1800s brick river house - another part of the whimsy and fun of this place. We will be back again soon! read more

I'm visiting Davenport from California and my daughter brought me here the day after Christmas for brunch. It was amazing! The ambience is extremely homey and close knit. The food was delicious and service was outstanding. It truly feels like you're dining with friends. They owners greet and take your order. They treated my granddaughter like an absolute princess. You've got to try the bread pudding, it just melts in your mouth. Absolutely will be coming back because there's just no other place that compares to Cafe D'Marie. Not even in California. read more

Happy to see the owner's friends come and support this business, but overall feel of the place was strange. It took an hour from the time we walked in to the time we sat down and had our order taken. You can hear the employees chatting/yelling and watch them prep food (ingredients from plastic containers moved to plastic bags), gloves (worn to prevent contamination) staying on while touching the fridge or other surface. Very overpriced for plainly and lazily served food. We were very excited to enjoy this experience since most reviews online are great. Sad to say it was a great disappointment. read more

Delicious options, unique sweet and savory combinations. Large tea and coffee selection and don't forget to take home a dessert, these are all made IN HOUSE unlike most restaurants. Lovely spot in a historic home run by the owners who have always been very friendly! read more

Though I was raised in Davenport, Iowa, my visits home are whirlwinds. It is dependent upon my mom to show some of the best places to eat. She claims that I have high standards since I live close to NYC. Cafe d'Marie is now my new favorite place to eat whenever I am in the Quad-Cities. We were joyfully greeted by the staff when we entered. (There are two entrances - one that is directly in front of the cafe, a second which is on the side. The former is cool because it gives you the feel that you're visiting the home of an old friend: short stairs, foyer, etc. The latter is great because you get a chance to walk through the study before entering the dining room. Both gives you a chance to view the sun room that provides a view of downtown and The Centinniel Bridge.) My mom enjoyed her hibiscus tea - balanced, full of flavor, but add your own sugar. I had an espresso. I think it was slightly more than a double, but still it was quite good. Both came out relatively quickly. My parents had The No. 1 - turkey, cranberry, provolone, spinach on artisan bread. They both thought it was quite good. I ordered The No. 11 - Cafe d'Marie's take on the muffletta. I chose to have the "mild" olive tapanade. That was a great choice because even the mild had a bit of a pleasurable kick to it. It wasn't overwhelming but definitely added to the sandwich's flavor. The bread was also artisan which made it more of a panini. No arguments by me. It was quite good - so much so that I've been telling everyone about it this afternoon. The portions were perfect. You will not leave stuffed but you know that you had a hearty lunch. For dessert, my parents had the traditional bread pudding. The cafe offered three options cinnamon, pecan, and cherry. My parents chose the "original" (cinnamon) with a smile on their face. The cinnamon roll was fresh and warm with an overflow of icing - just the way it should be. Cafe d'Marie is an ideal spot for a mid-afternoon lunch with plenty of seating both inside and under a huge shade tree outside. If you're living in the Quad-Cities, this is a great change of pace from many of the local offerings. If you're visiting, then make this your first stop. My only complaint is that Cafe d'Marie does not have an Instagram. It's 2023! I want to be able to continue to follow their progress before my next visit home. read more

Hope to try the soup next time I'm in town. read more

It's a pretty good restaurant and I see why so many people like it but I won't lie the food was a bit too simple for my liking, especially considering the price, I don't feel like it's worth it paying about $15 for a sandwich, bagged chips, and a bottle of water, but it was good tasting at least! But we also waited for a long time to be seated and be given our food which was a bit of a bummer but understandable since I don't think they have a lot of staff. The ambience was very nice and mellow though, great for having a conversation with someone but it is quite cramped when there's a rush..! read more

I was, for a long time, a staunchly traditional breakfast food girl, but I have since been converted. Two ripe years ago, I came to cafe d'marie as a last-minute alternative to avoid the long wait at QC pancake house. Initially, I was somewhat disappointed and off-put by the lack of traditional egg-and-potato breakfast dishes offered. After one meal, I knew that this would become my go-to. The sandwiches are immaculate and crafted with the finest tomato/basil/pesto breads around. The quiches have a respectably tender and flaky crust. The teas--all served hot or iced--are refreshing year-round. The soups (in particular the cream of asparagus) are quite honestly heaven in a cup, if you believe in such a thing. I have yet to save room for dessert, but in my humble opinion, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more
