There was no one at the info center to leave a comment card, so I am doing it here. The gentleman who works in this café that goes by Herbert is amazing. He is very kind and courteous and personable. I think the world needs a whole lot more Herbert’s!

Grilled cheese with the tomato soup was delish! A bit on the pricey side but well worth the price.

All the staff was working Starbucks. Waited in line 15 minutes before leaving. Lady ignored us when she walked over to grab something and go back to Starbucks side.

Excellent service, good but on the Starbucks side there is no way to give tips, WHY? Such an awesome service and no way to award it? They deserve 25%. Pls fix it. Keep it up!

Just got a coffee there. Everyone was extremely nice and fast. I got my coffee very quickly. Be warned you can’t walk around the whole museum with your coffee.

I can't vouch for the food, but for drinks there are some positives: Starbucks coffee, and drinkable wine by the glass. The atmosphere is relaxing, especially in the lower area with cafe tables by the big window with daylight and an outside view. Temper your expectations, and this is a nice place to take a break from exploring the many exhibits in this less-known museum on The Mall.

Terrible food. Dry pre-made sandwiches and staff almost upset that you inconvenienced them by ordering. 40 bucks for 2 sandwiches and 2 sodas.
We walked past 20 food trucks and that's where we should've stopped

Good options for build your own salad. They also have soup and burgers.

My husband and I stopped here to have lunch. We had the shrimp creole and the chicken with rice. It hit the spot! We top that with the brownie cheesecake. Everything was delicious. The only thing we didn’t like was the price. Lol Service was excellent.

I just got the worst caramel machiato.There’s no coffee taste in it at all and even asked if cofee was in it or not to the worker and she said I didn’t make it, the machine made it.The picture is added.
We ordered Starbucks iced caramel macchiato ($6.75) and we could not find any coffee flavor and some ingredients were missing.

The food was surprisingly good and exceeded expectations considering it being a tourist attraction cafe. Prices are steep, but it's shocking that the $7 hotdog was well worth the price regarding taste and toppings. The rest of the menu seems "ok".

Is this fine dining? No. But can you get yourself an entire bottle of wine for $22 while enjoying the American History Museum (retail of this Cab is $15)? Yep! You aren’t going to find a more affordable wine spot along the National mall. The cafe has some fun art and nice views of the EPA federal building (love me some intimidating classical architecture). If you want a nice meal walk two blocks north to The Hamilton, Old Ebbitt, or Elephant and Castle, to name a few of the many options. But if you need a snack and a tannin fix with friendly service and some jazz tunes, then this should work!
Kid-friendliness: Children will thrive here. So many bright colors. The window with daylight will get them that vitamin D fix before you drag them back down into the shadows of the Smithsonian’s cavernous labyrinth of eternal exhibits.
