Had lunch before viewing a special exhibit and waited six minutes to get to the counter to order. Seating was readily available nearby and our food came out quickly. The chicken salad was good with bits of citrus and dry noodles. Iced tea was fine and the gluten-free desserts were fine as well. Staff were excellent. We were fine with the overall vibe and decor with lots of natural light, hard surfaces in glass.

Nice big space, menu on cards as you enter. Some amazing choices. We had a salmon rice bowl and an oyster mushroom sandwich, both delicious and so tasty. Lots of choices.

Great ham and cheese croissant and incredible coffee. Well designed.
Staff didn’t seem that happy, but other than that they have done a thoughtful job to make this nice.

Had the delicious salmon rice bowl for lunch while visiting the museum. It was SOOO good I’ve been trying to copy it for my family after returning to Australia. Great quality food and beautifully made dishes. Thank you!

We went to the Ruth Asawa exhibit at SFMoMA last Thursday and decided to have lunch at Cafe 5. We ordered the tofu and chicken salads and a slice of apple cake. All three were flavorful and fresh. You can eat inside or out on the roof patio. What a find. I would go back just for this restaurant.

May2025 Cafe in a museum with a minimalist cafeteria layout.
In fairness, the cafe menu item standards were pretty creative and of good taste. Serving sizes were standard.
Service is strictly counter
The immediate interiors are bare while the al fresco area was more assuming due to the presence of some art installations.
Tables can get filled up quickly due to the number of museum goers
Ideal for light meals and quick bites.

It is ok for a coffee place in a Museum. Athmosphere is actually great, Service as well.
Coffee was not so tasty, but it was good enough :)

The food and presentation are fantastic! Staff taking orders are meh. Food delivery to food is seamless.
Kid-friendliness: These are the best chicken tenders!

Well, what can I say about a cafeteria in a museum? Overpriced drinks and fast food in one of the most iconic museums in the world. Poor decoration.

Stopped in for a quick snack, 45 minutes later the single sandwich we ordered came out.
