Whether you’re taking a break from exploring the galleries or simply enjoying the view, the Museum Café is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and indulge. Nestled within the iconic Calatrava-designed Quadracci Pavilion, the café features awe-inspiring architecture and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the lakefront in a stunning 270-degree tableau. During the warmer months, step out onto the patio to savor the outdoors and enjoy the lakeside breeze while tucked under the Museum’s wings.

Enjoy a rotating menu of hot soups, salads, sandwiches, fresh pastries, and snacks. Savor a full barista menu featuring an exclusive roast by Milwaukee’s Valentine Coffee. Pair your meal with a seasonal cocktail, fine wine, or bubbly. Join us for a dining experience inspired by stunning architecture, complete with a patio overlooking Lake Michigan.
