I don’t want to knock the place because they provided a quick and overall good meal for my family. The pasta special was tasty and the cakes were really good! The chicken salad croissant would not be an item I would recommend to people since there was barely a quarter cup of chicken salad on the croissant and a bunch of lettuce.

Our experience here could not have been better. The food was great and the staff was absolutely amazing. We have 2 kids with food allergies and Pouran, the cafe manager, was so cautious to ensure our meals were safe for the kids. We would go back here even if we weren’t on a trip to the museum.

Fun menu and delicious food. Don’t let the fact that they are in the Children’s Museum stop you from enjoying this terrific Cafe.

The food excellent and the space is really cool. You don’t need to pay for the museum to eat here either, which makes it a great lunch spot.

We didn’t expect such great food at the Children’s Museum! It’s a bit overpriced, but delicious.

Took them 30+ minutes to make salad, toast, and fruit. I know they advertise, “Fresh” food but I didn’t realize that it meant waiting for them to grow it.
