Stopped by Caffè Moderno at the Art Institute for a quick bite. Grabbed a Caffè Cubano and a squash soup. Coffee had a nice cinnamon kick, and the soup was surprisingly hearty. Prices are a bit steep, but it's expected for a museum café. Limited seating and can get crowded, but the staff was friendly. Solid spot for a quick refuel during museum visits.

Overpriced, poor coffee quality, few sitting spaces. Avoid at all costs

Disappointing. Baked goods are stale even though it's barely Noon
Scott HOME
Good snacks. Pricey, inattentive teen workers.

If you’re in the Loop and need a chill spot to grab a coffee, Caffè Moderno is the move. I popped in for a quick break and got a flat white and a breakfast sandwich. The coffee was smooth, not too bitter, and exactly what I needed to power through my day. The sandwich had fresh ingredients and was loaded with flavor – super satisfying. I spent about $12, which is a great deal for the quality. The vibe is cozy and modern, with friendly baristas who really know their coffee. Highly recommend if you want something low-key but delicious!

Had a very disappointing beet, goat cheese, and arugula salad. Much of the arugula was yellowing and the cheeses was a fried patty. The $6 lemonade was a can of Minute

The food is expensive and substandard. However, if it helps out the Art Institute, I’m in. The service is extremely good.
I don’t mind paying a premium for a premium product in fact, I expect to. My latte was warm, not hot and at least 50% foam. Two lattes, and one cookie, including taxes and tip was over $23, then I got the latte, which should have been called a cappuccino.

Amazing earl grey scones, albeit expensive. Nevertheless, these scones have been on my mind ever since my most recent visit last week, so the extra cost is perhaps for the extra time that this scone will take up room in your brain. If someone who works at the museum café could kindly respond and tell me where you source your earl grey scones, I will die happy.

This is probably one of the poorest cafe in all the art museums of the world. They might as well source it out to AMC theatres to run it for them. The staff was extremely reluctant to put any effort into the order you placed. Instead they just wanted to talk to each other. I asked where I should be to collect my order but got no response. I felt so bad to have inconvenienced them but I needed I a coffee. So I drank my coffee and left that space. Please carry your own protein bar to this museum if you instead to spend a few hours.

This is a small coffee and snack stand within the modern art wing of the Art Institute. The food is good to passable, albeit at the expected high prices.
