Reviews
"I don’t mind paying a premium for a premium product in fact, I expect to. My latte was warm, not hot and at least 50% foam. Two lattes, and one cookie, including taxes and tip was over $23, then I got the latte, which should have been called a cappuccino."
"Amazing earl grey scones, albeit expensive. Nevertheless, these scones have been on my mind ever since my most recent visit last week, so the extra cost is perhaps for the extra time that this scone will take up room in your brain. If someone who works at the museum café could kindly respond and tell me where you source your earl grey scones, I will die happy."
"This is probably one of the poorest cafe in all the art museums of the world. They might as well source it out to AMC theatres to run it for them. The staff was extremely reluctant to put any effort into the order you placed. Instead they just wanted to talk to each other. I asked where I should be to collect my order but got no response. I felt so bad to have inconvenienced them but I needed I a coffee. So I drank my coffee and left that space. Please carry your own protein bar to this museum if you instead to spend a few hours."
"This is a small coffee and snack stand within the modern art wing of the Art Institute. The food is good to passable, albeit at the expected high prices."
"An expensive assembly-line like dining experience that's not comfy and requires patience, but we did appreciate all the nice staff trying to explain the process and the delicious elote/corn side dish GG's Chicken Shop was offering. Without that yummy side I would've gone hungry because there's no way I was paying that much for a salad."
