Café d'Marie

What a lovely place for us. Soup is delicious! Atmosphere is fantastic!... and the coffee... so good I had quiche which was devine, while others tried the Panini. We all loved our experience at this little Cafe... highly recommended

This Café is extremely welcoming and pet friendly! Atmosphere feels like home. They have outdoor seating or you can eat inside what ever you prefer!

I am from out of state and heard so many good things about this restaurant. It did not disappoint! The atmosphere is cutely decorated and welcoming. Everything was so good. I ordered the #17 panini and oh my goodness. The way everything melted in my mouth and came together was so perfect! The egg nog latte was creamy and the perfect balance of latte and egg nog. And the owner is so friendly and passionate about her restaurant. I would recommend this place to anyone!!

I felt like we had been invited into the home of friends. The menu is quite different and among the 4 of us visiting, all ordering different beverages and dishes and desserts, there was not a stinker in the bunch. Everything is incredibly delicious. There was no wait time for a table on a Thursday morning but I have heard the weekend gets crazy busy. It is true -- "the napkins don't lie" :o)

We were visiting out of town from Chicago. The owner is very attentive, warm, and welcoming. The weather was warmer than usual that day. She offered to let me and my bf sit outside at the big table in the nice patio even though it looks like it’s closed for season. We enjoyed the food a lot. Also love the the historical building and the ambience. I’d love to come back if I’m in town again.

Beautiful Victorian home made wonderful cafe. What a gem! If you haven’t been here - try it now! You will NOT regret it! Wish I had a picture of our paninis, but they were too good to get a picture in! Haha! Thank you, Café d’Marie! We will be back!

My husband took me here for the first time and I was instantly in love. The food was delicious, staff so kind, but by far my favorite part was the selection of loose leaf teas that they offered — and entire page of the menu dedicated just to tea!! I squealed with happiness. Will most definitely go back again!!

A couple signs up in the front instructing to wait in the hallway to be seated, loud chimes on the door to alert the 6+ staff inside about someone entering, yet nobody acknowledged or welcomed me to seat me or inform of any potential wait. To me that's lack of customer service so I just walked out.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Cute French style ambience. Coffee and sandwiches were great Service excellent I recommend it!

Wonderful food! Cozy ambiance. Extremely personably service. You won't be disappointed!

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 !

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

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.

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.

The food is always delicious! Can't beat homemade fresh. Love the blueberry vinaigrette. Lovely people in this special place that makes it feel like home.

Food is always good, fresh and homemade. The staff is very friendly. The bathroom could use some updating and general maintenance to the home. I do love the atmosphere though.

Great vibe with fresh food and homemade recipes. Super friendly but busy and hard to park.

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!

The service was great! Would recommend Also the food was top noice and healthy thank you staff

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!

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.

Cutest cafe with a peaceful patio!! The staff was so friendly and attentive! So many unique latte choices! We got the pecan pie and the trio latte, both so yummy! For food we got the mushroom and cauliflower soups, the artichoke goat cheese quiche(amazing) and the Reuben panini!! SO GOOD! Can't wait to come back!!!

Homemade soup and amazing food. Locally owned and operated beautiful atmosphere too! It's a hidden Gem and looks like a bed and breakfast atmosphere

Cafe d'Marie is a wonderful little gem. The ambiance is unique, and the food and drinks are amazing. The owners always make sure you are happy with your selections. If you are ever in the area, you should definitely stop by.

What a wonderful little cafe. Fantastic atmosphere. Eclectic decor. The most spectacular cup of tea (Earl Grey Supreme) I've had this side of the pond! The food was delicious. But the real star was the owner. Exceedingly kind, infinitely knowledgeable, and utterly beautiful. Thoroughly enjoyed our conversation regarding our mutual faith. Hope to try the soup next time I'm in town.

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..!

Always a staple to visit when we are in the quad cities! The coffee, smoothies, paninis and soups are absolutely delicious. You can tell everything is made with love. The owners are so sweet along with the staff. I love that you feel like you're in a French countryside chateau when you're here!

Absolutely amazing! First of all the ambiance is fabulous. It just feels good to be in the space. It's cozy, but not cramped. All the staff we encountered were kind, attentive and knowledgeable. I had the blueberry, honey, goat cheese and spinach quiche. It was soooooo good! Unlike any quiche I've ever had. I also had a side salad. The dressing was phenomenal. I took a chocolate chip cookie to go, which I'm nibbling on as I write this review. Talk about satisfying my sweet tooth! If you are reading this review, trying to decide if you are going to give this outstanding cafe a try, I really hope you make the decision to check this place out. You won't regret it!!

I love Cafe d'Marie ! Anytime I have a friend from out of town it's the place I bring them! Celebrating Birthdays here is perfect! The Curry cauliflower soup is AMAZING!! Everyone is so friendly and the decorations and atmosphere make you feel like you're in a quaint cafe in Europe. The bread pudding and the vinaigrette dressing are also honorable mentions!!

She gets all her bread from Panera. Makes her own sandwich on them. Y'all are welcome.

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.

I love this little family owned Cafe! The service is amazing and so is the food! Perfect place to grab a coffee and study or bring another to catch up. The chocolate chip peanut butter cookies are my favorite! They are busy on the weekends and do open late morning during the week. If you are traveling through the Davenport or Quad Cities area give this cafe a try!

What a great find! You can get a proper latte, a fresh salad and a delicious panini. The outside seating area is lovely (I'm sure inside is too but we were outside). Don't be in a hurry because it's a small place that gets busy, and just enjoy the ambience and the amazing food.

My husband and I went on a business trip to Davenport, Iowa and found Café d'Marie on Yelp. We are both so happy that we ate there! The ambience was amazing, the decor eclectic and fun and the food was fantastic! We had a delicious quiche, a flavorful panini and two very tasty homemade soups. And, I indulged in a rich chai latte! They also offer fresh baked pastries, and we took several of those home with us! The cafe is located in a lovely historic building that was built in 1864 in the Gold Coast area of the city and it has so much charm. The cafe owners were incredibly kind and attentive to all of their customers! Another plus conducive to relaxation was that they were playing tasteful jazz vocal standards in the background. This place is now one of our favorite finds! When we return to Davenport we definitely will be stopping there again! We highly recommend Cafe d' Marie to anyone near Davenport, Iowa. You will love it!

This is a quaint historic building with a feel of New Orleans nestles in the Gold Coast District of Davenport. The service had a family feel, rhe food was off the charters delicious. We had paninis and I had the curry soup and I will be dreaming about that curry soup for weeks. There was indoor and outdoor seating. I heard during the winter they have the outdoor igloos and I can't wait to come back and try it. It's a must go to place to eat and experience.

-Ambiance: great, little house feels -Food: great, food and drinks came out great temp -Service: Sub-par. We were put in the room next to the main area so the server's traffic never really crossed our table other than drink order and food order. We eat our food, and sit and wait in front of our empty plates for about 15 minutes wondering when the check will come, by the way no check ins to make sure everything came out okay. Had to speak up wondering how we pay to get out of here, to be instructed to pay at the front. Fine, but would have been great with a heads up that's what I needed to do. I stand behind other guests talking to the owner into a deep conversation. I wait about 5 minutes without any signal that she was trying to get to me. I had to speak up to get her attention, *and she felt inconvenienced that I interrupted so I can leave*. Clicks a few buttons, and says "it's waiting on you, it's not hard" is what she says...like what kind of response is that?? I don't do zero tips often, but that response certainly warranted one. I won't be coming back. Plenty of other good spots around the QC.

Great menu and drinks! Very good for summertime lunch, however I'm sure their soups are very comforting in a winter time as well. We had panini Sandwich & Cup of Soup (1/2) AND IT WAS A GREAT CHOICE! Especially wild rose tea Very friendly stuff and owners, open to talk to you and their service is ON POINT! Obviously! The owner is out there in the floor with visitors, employees and clients! Just love it and I want to thank them for a warm and welcoming atmosphere!

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.

Amazing food, wonderful patio, and outstanding hospitality! A wonderful gem that everyone should know about!

We loved everything. The service, the food, and the outside ambiance of nature. We sat on the patio and it was nice to hear the water fountain running and seeing the birds outside. The mushroom soup was the best we have had, my wife even ordered a second bowl. We will be back.

This place definitely lives up to the reputation. I went there today for the first time and lemme tell you...spectacular stuff. The service was prompt, the vibes were kosher, and the overall aesthetic was very inviting. Will be going again

Food - you can't go wrong with any choice on the menu. I always get a salad and sandwich. The blueberry dressing is to die for! It's in a beautiful old home which is really nice to dine in or outside in their beautiful garden. Service is usually pretty quick even if they're busy (they often are)

Delicious food, fantastic menu options, adorable restaurant, lovely quaint patio, great service! We were visiting the quad cities and looking for something local for lunch and Cafe d'Marie did not disappoint! Exactly what we were looking for with a fantastic atmosphere and delicious food.

Absolutely delicious and never feel rushed. Everything is made fresh daily, in house and the The caramel frappe is wonderful!

I love getting to spend time in Cafe d'Marie as the environment is calming and adorable. The food and drink always exceeds my expectations as well. One of my hometown favs!

Really cute cafe on the main level of a historic house. The family that owns this place live upstairs. Very homey, farmhouse decor, super friendly, warm staff. The food was wonderful. I got to try the cream of mushroom soup and cream of Asparagus soup. Also 2 paninis and a large piece of quiche. Everything was so wonderful. I'm glad I was able to visit this place.

Absolutely blown away. Don't be turned off by the entrance -- it's a small gold mind. I travel for a living and it was probably the best panini I've had. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a light lunch and coffee.

If you are ever in the Davenport area TRY THIS PLACE! The owner is an absolute sweetheart and you can tell she cares so much about her workers and customers! I'm from Chicago but visit my friend all the time and this is a MUST HAVE on our itinerary, the Cauliflower Curry Soup is the best thing I've ever had- kid you not I dream about it. And don't even get me started on the muffuletta spread, such a delicious topping for the paninis! Make sure you end the meal with the specialty bread puddings, she's always changing them up and they get better and better each time!

The food was average. It was something I could easily make at home. I got the combo meal which included 1/2 a sandwich & a garden salad. I should have gotten the whole sandwich because what I ordered didn't satisfied my appetite. I also got a Carmel mocha Frappuccino & it was nothing special about it. I could have easily gotten this at another coffee shop. Service was friendly. The wait was around 45 minutes, but given it just opened for the day. The environment was unique. There's outdoor seating & indoor seating. The indoor seating had a homey decor like... this is my home with a coffee shop. It was cute. Overall, I don't think I will come back for how much I paid for just two meals & two coffees. Maybe a once every so often, but not a causal spot. Do recommend for an experience.

This place is magical. The ambiance outside is lovely. We were served by the owner who was so sweet and service oriented. We chose the cherry, goat cheese and spinach quiche which was a tasty combination. We also got the salad and mushroom and asparagus soups which were so yummy! Thank you for this special place, and the monster cookies for later!

The paninis are great and very filling. The salads are fresh with a delightful blueberry feta vinegarette dressing. The owners are just as charming as the building! We took home a homemade cinnamon roll and it was fantastic! Not too sweet or doughy and reheated up nicely! Looking forward to going this summer and sitting on the patio to enjoy lunch.

Amazing atmosphere, more amazing staff and food. Talked with the owner after lunch, such a nice lady with a very generous heart. Love the vibe!!

I'd pass. We attempted to visit on Sunday, July 28th. Waited until 10:30, and nothing.... Waited and waited, called and no answer. Called and.no answer, called and sent to voicemail which still has Christmas information....... doors opened finally at 10:42. Seated near immediately outside and never saw anyone again. We left at 10:50 and nobody seated outside was waited on during these 8 minutes. There was no apology for late open or were short staffed we will be with you soon. There were at least 4 tables seated outside. Us and another table of two also left. While your place may be cute and owners nice if you can't open on time and serve people it matters zero in the end.
