Reviews and Ratings
Write a reviewIts museum food folks. It costs more than it is worth and you could have easily have brought your own snacks if you wanted. Not bad just museum food. Take that as you will. At least there is a lot of tables. More than they will ever need. Update - They even warm up some of the food if need be.

Good food. Fair price for the area.
I find it a adequate place where just to want to sit and grab a coffee and sweet snack in-between museum visits. The line was indeed long. Maybe the manager should change the system so that one person charges and the other prepares your coffee, which is actually what takes longer.
