My wife and I stopped in at Peets to get iced tea. They had good fresh tea. We skipped the desserts.

We went there because it was our first day in town and hadn't planned for lunch. The place is huge and dirty. They have overpriced cafe food that gets cold while you're waiting 10 minutes to get through the checkout. Then you find that the food sucks.

A locally-based coffee store chain, they will serve up your favorite coffee drink and there are a few comfortable places to sit.

We stopped while in the museum. The food is okay but like others have said it is cafeteria food and VERY high priced. Best to avoid and eat somewhere else.

We needed a snack while visiting the American History Museum, so stopped at the cafe. It was overpriced cafeteria food, just like you might expect. The place was clean and the food wasn’t bad, but not cheap.

We happened to be right in this Museum of American History at lunch time, so instead of leaving and coming back, we just decided to stay and enjoy our meal in their basement café. Although the prices were above average, there were plenty of good choices for all palates and all diets – Salads, Burgers, Tacos, Chicken Tenders, Egg Rolls, Pizzas Bottled Water and Sodas, and even Desserts. Considering the convenience of the place on a hot and humid day, and the fact that all Museums are free in DC, we had no qualms or complaints what-so-ever in paying that little bit extra for cafeteria food. It was not a 5-Star dining experience, but the place was clean and the food was fresh. That’s all we ask for when we are traveling. There was plenty of nice seating available since the crowds rotate quickly in a touristy area. It is certainly better than the food trucks outside where the hygiene is questionable.

The museum is free and one of the most popular and favorite attractions in D.C., but my advice is that if you want to eat in the building, either bring a fat wallet or bring your own food. I passed on the peanut butter and jelly sandwich for $7 in favor of the salad bar, but ended paying $12 for a bottle of water, a very tiny amount of salad and a few pieces of fruit. I can't imagine if you are a family of three or four that you would be spending over $50. At least bring your own water. The rent for the concession must be high, but hey, these are children and these prices and small portions are over the top.

Paid $14 for a soda and a turkey wrap that was largely tortilla rather than filling. Had to open it up and pull out the nasty old lettuce. My sister had a Caesar salad that she didn't like. Go elsewhere.

The name of this place does not sound very appealing to non white people ! Or do they just want white people in there...?
