Cascade Café is a convenient spot to grab a bite while visiting the National Gallery of Art. The restaurant offers a variety of options, including pizza, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and soups. Their pizzas are cooked in a pizza oven, and burgers are grilled to perfection. The café also features a gelato bar with numerous flavors, making it a good place to enjoy a sweet treat. Despite some limitations since the COVID-19 pandemic, the café still provides a pleasant dining experience. It is a popular place to take a break from the busy National Mall area and recharge. The café closes by 3 pm, so visitors should plan accordingly. Recently, customers have praised the attentive staff, mentioning how they received unexpected but delicious French fries and Coke that helped them finish a four-mile art walk. The café is located in a large underground space with a glass-enclosed waterfall that many visitors enjoy for photos. With a high capacity, it is a good spot to rest and get something light to eat or drink while viewing the world-class art nearby. The Espresso & Gelato Bar next door adds to the options, and the café’s many tables and chairs make it easy to sit down and relax. The space is connected to the newer East Wing of the gallery, featuring pyramid glass skylights and an inverted pyramid water feature designed by I. M. Pei, adding to the modern atmosphere of the location.
