Recently ordered a lox bagel sandwich and their BBQ sandwich. Both were fabulous. The salmon was fresh and very flavorful (not fishy at all) and the BBQ was bursting with chicken and flavor. Definitely this is THE sandwich stop in Newport. read more

Marco's has some great sandwiches. Located on Spring street, makes parking tricky. It's a small place that produces some amazing "grinders"sandwiches.. I recommend their Italian grinder. They really pack a lot of quality different cuts meat. Ask to have it toasted. Warm toasted bread with melting cheese takes it to a new level. read more

We had a great time here and it was so refreshing to see a reasonably priced place in Newport, ha! It's a cozy little cafe which limited seating. They allowed our dog inside which was lovely. My husband made his own sub with chicken and loved it, specifically the bread. I had iced coffee and an avocado toast plus egg which was lovely. Definitely putting this on our must-visit list if we return! read more

Great people. Great food! I like this spot. Will be back. The staff was nice to chat with.

Nasty sandwich! I came here to use my RI Food Fights coupon for their "The BBQ" sandwich which sounded so good ($10). I was a little disappointed when the cashier said I could only get their "best" sandwich, their Italian, but hey I'll give it a shot. I unwrapped the sandwich and I knew right away it was not going to taste good. The worst part was the bread. It was dense, wet, tasted frozen or just a bad recipe. The meats had a dull color and they didn't put in the best cuts. They were super low quality, like they bought them at Stop & Shop or Walmart. Definitely are not making their own meats in-house. Let the real Italians in the Providence area make Italian Grinders. Who knows, maybe The BBQ sandwich would have been inferior as well. read more

I recently went to Newport with my mom to checkout the Elephant Structures on Salve University's campus. When we were done checking those out we decided that we were hungry for some lunch. I suggested Marco's Cafe because about 2 months earlier, I was in Newport and drove past it. So I made note of it and have wanted to go back since. This was a perfect opportunity to go, which I must say, did NOT disappoint at all. It was worth the wait of a couple of months. It's really cute because Marco's Cafe is right on Spring Street in this more residential neighborhood of Newport, so it kind of blends in. There really isn't much to Marco's Cafe is in being quite honest with you. There's an order counter, a cooler with drinks, a few chairs and a little coffee bar. Then obviously the kitchen in the back, which you can low key look into. The vibes of Marco's Cafe are really really cute though. Cute, homey and casual. Anyway, the menu isn't super big. They offer sandwiches, salads, soups, pizza and drinks and some desserts but nothing crazy. The prices are also very reasonable too. So what did I get? Well, I saw that the New Yorker is a popular choice so I went with it and got it. It was honestly one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. It comes with "breaded chicken, prosciutto, lettuce, roasted red pepper, provolone, oil & vinegar, oregano served on Marzilli's homemade bread" The part of the sandwich that stood out to me was the roasted red peppers... I've never had such tasty and delicious roasted red peppers. When I think of roasted red peppers, this is what I think of. They tasted sweet, but with a chary and smoky taste. Again, that's what I think of when I think of roasted red peppers. I've never had roasted red peppers that tasted like this. Everything about the sandwich was incredible though. Everything tasted fresh and especially the bread too. Which tasted and had the texture of fresh bread. The oil & vinegar was a nice compliment to everything on the sandwich as well. To mention the service of Marco's Cafe, it was decently fast. There were a few orders ahead of us, but even then we didn't wait for a super long time. The people working there were also really friendly too. In terms of eating there, there is one table on the inside and there are two benches on the outside. But too be honest, for the part of Newport that it's in, you could just walk to Fishermen's Wharf and eat your sandwich down there. Or you could walk to Aquidneck Park which is where me and my mom ate our sandwiches. Overall, I would 100% go back to Marco's cafe if I'm craving a sandwich when in Newport. And I highly highly suggest you give it a try too! I again had the New Yorker, but I'm sure any of their sandwiches are delicious! read more

This place is so great. The prices are good and the staff is amazing. I went in and got a few sandwiches for lunch today, including just a plain turkey and cheese. Every single thing about this place is the best, and we can't wait to come back. The inside is a little small so next time I may get it taken to go, so that I can sit at another table inside, but the inside overall is very cute, just not a lot of seating. Everyone that works there is so nice and the food is so good. The barbecue sandwich was amazing. Their bread is the bomb, which is why we keep going back. Not even joking. We've been there twice this week. Nothing better than a good sub. read more

We were looking for a quick lunch spot near downtown Newport and found this place on Yelp! They have breakfast, soups, salads, and sandwiches. Despite their website saying they serve breakfast all day, I tried to order a breakfast sandwich and was told it was too late in the day to get breakfast. Instead, I went with a build-your-own sandwich. I got tuna salad and had them add tomatoes and arugula (the didn't have regular lettuce). The sandwich was served on a hoagie roll and came out cut in half but both halves were huge! I could only finish one half of the sandwich. The tuna salad was quite good, there was enough on the sandwich to still have the tuna be the primary taste instead of all the bread. It was filling and satisfied my craving for some tuna salad. Prices were affordable and food was served within 10-15 mins. Parking was easy, there is street parking right out front. The inside is small (only 1 table for indoor dining) and I did not see a public restroom. This was a pretty good spot for lunch but I wish they actually did serve breakfast all day as some of their breakfast sandwiches sounded great! read more

The breakfast sandwiches were so good that we returned to grab lunch! Staff was very pleasant and our order was prepared quickly. Portions are generous. Wish we had a cafe like this near us! Perfect for grab and go...there is minimal seating. read more

More people in Newport need to know about this new Marco's cafe!!! I was visiting from NYC for the weekend, and always make it my mission to find my boyfriend the best sandwiches in the places we visit. Even with minimal reviews for Marco's, I knew we had to try it based on how good the menu looked. We came in a Sunday morning and it was pretty quiet, so we got our sandwiches fast. The menu had plenty of delicious options for both breakfast plates/sandwiches and lunch sandwiches, or you could also make your own sandwich which is a great option. I went with The Patriot and was able to add some Proscuitto to my liking, and my boyfriend got The Buffalo. They were super accommodating with any modifications requested, and the sandwiches were DELICIOUS!! There's a little indoor and outdoor seating so we were able to enjoy them fresh, and we're so glad we did. Very delicious and fresh, and the perfect size! I hope this place gets some more people in because it deserves to grow amongst all the delicious cafe options in Newport. 10/10 recommend! read more

Was in the area, pulled over to walk my dog at nearby park and dropped in for a breakfast sandwich. Cute, rustic look inside, ordered a ham, egg and cheese on an English muffin--you know, an Egg McMuffin. No comparison! Service was quick and courteous, of course sandwich was made fresh, stuffed with a good deli ham (not a Canadian Bacon puck), choice of cheeses nicely melted. I could only eat half, my daughter enjoyed the rest back home. For little more than fast food this was an excellent find, can't wait to try their lunch sandwiches in the future. Hint, if seating is all taken walk three minutes up Spring Street to nice park with benches behind the Newport Library. read more

We called at 8am for a 6 Sami order and they got it done in 10 minutes. The samis are absolutely incredible! Each ingredient is so fresh. Wish we lived here so we could return. Thanks Marcos cafe team!! read more

Sandwiches were very good. Parking is impossible. Had to drop off my wife to go inside to pick up our order then go around the block. Typical Downtown Newport in the Summer! read more

This is such a gem!! I was in town and stopped by to grab some lunch. I got the BBQ sandwich, which was on homemade bread and it was so so perfect! It's a super quaint shop with some seating inside and outside. The sandwich was delicious and I'll definitely be back next time we're in town. Everyone working there was extremely friendly and accommodating. read more

My husband and I loved Marco's Cafe's food so much, we ordered from there twice during our short, 3-day stay in Newport. Our first breakfast was their Cali breakfast burrito, which is absolutely massive - about the thickness and length of a loaded sub sandwich - and filled our hungry tummies with fresh, delicious ingredients, and generous portions of salsa verde and sour cream on the side. Those are the largest breakfast burritos I've ever had. Our second breakfast from Marco's Cafe were their bagel breakfast sandwiches made with the most delicious bagels - the good bagels with the blisters! Their staff was super friendly and welcoming during both visits! I would definitely eat at Marco's Cafe again (multiple times!) if I ever found myself in Newport again. read more

Purchased a certificate from a restaurant.com for this location. No restrictions were listed, but they refused to accept it. Feel like we dodged a bullet anyway. One of our party has a gluten allergy and they were not very knowledgeable. read more

Best addition to Newport! And still #bestkeptsecret located in the old Rosemary & Thyme space on Spring Street. Subs, salads and breakfast are literally the most fresh and innovative! The bread is their secret--a perfect light crispy on the outside snd soft on the inside. (You won't be pulling any teeth trying to bite through-ha!) Staff is incredible! Super nice and cares about making u happy! A must try if you are visiting, or on your way out of town for the road trip back home. I'm a local and super happy to welcome them into Newport. Rosemary & Thyme would be happy to know that another great place has made this home for the locals and tourists. read more

Everything a sandwich shop should be. Super clean, super fresh and the guys in the kitchen seem to have a passion for making great tasting food. Not a sit down place, so do yourself a favor and get a grab-&-go sandwich. read more

We had lunch today at Marco's as we were looking for a place where we could just get a sandwich. We were welcomed enthusiastically, there were many choices on the menu, and they all sounded delicious! They encouraged us to sample banana bread that they had on the counter and it was delicious! We were able to dine in and Benny the dog kept us company. Our sandwiches were delicious and they provided us with a sample of freshly baked cookies, which were also scrumptious! This will now be our go-to lunch spot whenever we are in Newport. read more

Stopped in during a girls weekend in Newport and the sandwiches did not disappoint. Bread was fresh and yummy! Great place to pick up a quick lunch to go! read more

Marco's has a great selection of sandwiches and wraps. We tried the New Yorker, Spring Street and ham/cheese for the kids. Everything was super fresh and delicious. The veggies in Spring Street were cooked and seasoned to perfection!! We received excellent and very friendly service. We wish the store was a little bigger to accommodate indoor seating so we could've enjoyed our sandys in that cute store. read more

I don't really leave many Yelp reviews, but this establishment absolutely deserves it. We make it appoint to come here at least once a week for a delicious breakfast sandwich, but also try to pick up one of their MANY fantastic deli sandwiches during the week. We have never tried something and been disappointed. Their eggplant parm sandwich is my favorite, while my S.O. Really loves the cliff walk and the Italian. You cannot go wrong ordering anything off the menu! Just walk up a side street from Thames and you'll find yourself with a delicious lunch without all the waiting and hassle. read more

What a gem! Marco's cute, welcoming and delicious! Oh and the food is great, too! In all seriousness, this is just what Newport needs! A cool spot run by great folks where you can get a tasty cup of coffee and a delectable breakfast sandwich to start your day AND the best sandwich on the island to go for whatever adventures your day has awaiting! You simply must try this bread. You can't beat it with it a stick! Get to Marco's! Tell them Aaron sent you. (I'm not Aaron but that doesn't matter!) read more

Stopped in on a Friday. Marco was there fixin' the sandwiches. They had a special, The Pot Roast Sandwich, it was awesome. One of the best sandwiches I've had in a while. I'll be there next Friday same time hoping it'll be back. read more

Horrible in many ways. First of all the price of my sandwich was listed in the place as a dollar more than on-line. When I showed the cashier the menu on my phone he insisted it wasn't their place even though there was a picture of the building! Secondly, my "Cliff-Walk" sandwich was virtually inedible. The bun was ice cold and stale as if just out of the freezer and my slice of cheese still had the paper on it used in the packaging. Definitely stay away from this place. read more

I accidentally happened upon Marcos while driving by, looking for lunch. Its a cute, small establishment with some indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the BBQ chicken sandwich, and ooooooh man it was good! And very filling. I also got chips and a drink, for around $15. The staff was friendly and prompt with my order. I'd definitely come here again! read more

Amazing fresh bread and friendly staff. We had the Chloe and the club and both were fantastic. 10/10 would come back again.

Delicious sandwiches and salads. Loaded with meat! We ordered to be delivered for a bridal party preparing for the wedding! Big hit and would recommend them for catered luncheon! read more

Hands down the best sandwich's in town. Don't forget to sign the get book when you visit!

Great deli on Spring Street in Newport! Really like the chicken salad, BLT & caprese sandwiches. Their breakfast sandwiches & bagels are also really good. They have online ordering which is great - the one thing that isn't clear is how the sizes work on online ordering, for example the small size won't let you select which bread you want. There's 15 minute parking spots out front. Really great addition for sandwiches in Newport! read more
