Talk about inflated pricing. The food and atmosphere may be good, but the price takes away from all of it and ultimately just leaves you with guilt. They had a lot of options, but everything was unjustifiably expensive. $11 for one slice of pizza? Really? It didn't even look that appetizing. Even a side of fries, regular, unseasoned fries, was $8. You can get 20 nuggets and a double cheeseburger at McDonald's for less than that. Me and my party wanted actual lunch, but it just wasn't something we could afford here. We all shared a bowl of fries to fill the empty space in our stomachs before we left the museum to have a real meal elsewhere. They were warm and good quality, I'll give you that, but not $8 in quality. That's museum pricing for you, though. We should have eaten beforehand and brought more snacks.
At the very least, there was clean, adequate seating, and they offered water, condiments, napkins, and other utensils. The fish tank beside the dining area was cute, too. Overall, 3/5.

The coffee was good. The area was very loud. The prices are very high.

The food is mediocre and extremely expensive. Service and ambience are okay.
Joy Ha
Compared to prices, foods were so bad.

I visited the museum multiple times and always make a stop for garlic fries. The only reason I gave 4 stars was because of the price. I felt they could have smaller portions for toddlers at cheaper price. That way I don’t have to share food with kids.

I got charged 17 dollars for two chicken tenders and some fries. Food was decent but I would NEVER pay that much for 2

Love the loaded chowder here and the white truffle pizza. Food isn’t bad for a museum cafe but it is pricey and gets pretty packed.

Not only is a single slice of pizza $9, the food is all-around terrible and bland. For the price I'd expect to be eating like a king but I'd rather just leave the museum for lunch and come back later.
3 soup and 2 sandwiches costed 85,-$. That’s science.

My family and I enjoyed attending the academy day. Parking was a headache so aside from parking I would totally recommend! We drove 1 1/2 and it didn’t disappoint. All the staff were very friendly and helpful (not a common thing nowadays) Thankful they have academy day (pay what you can) other wise we probably wouldn’t of been able to go. So we are very thankful for the opportunity & the experience.

We ate lunch while visiting California Academy of Sciences. The portions were quite large and delicious but on the expensive side.
