The Academy Cafe provides a convenient dining option within the museum, offering friendly service and a variety of choices. While the prices are considered high—burgers and sandwiches range from $16 to $23 with fries—the quality of the food and the relaxed atmosphere are appreciated by many visitors. The cafe features clean, adequate seating, and offers water, condiments, napkins, and utensils. The fish tank beside the dining area adds a charming touch. Some guests feel the pricing is inflated, with items like one slice of pizza costing $11 and a side of fries priced at $8, which they find unjustifiable compared to outside options. Despite this, the food is described as warm and good quality. The cafe also provides kid-friendly options and an outside area for children to play, making it a suitable spot for families. The "pay what you can" academy day makes the cafe accessible to a wide range of guests, though some visitors suggest bringing snacks or eating beforehand due to the high prices. Overall, the cafe offers a pleasant environment but is often viewed as expensive.
