The cafe is set up like a cafeteria, so aside from ordering food and checking out, there is not really service to evaluate. The views out the large windows are pastoral and pleasant. Access to the art and crafts is direct, since the restaurant is at the end of the gallery, and the seating area flows directly into the shopping area. The special bacon maple hamburger (might be seasonal) was truly the best burger I can ever recall.

Very well curiated art. Very natural and very Kentucky. Conti coffee. Super clean grill and eating area with heavy wood framing and natural light coming through the windows. Plenty of homemade goods. Jams, honey's, quilts of brand new make. There is a sculpture exhibit and the works are very alive and full of motion. A picture that I saw grabbed my eyes and didn't let go until I pried them away with the promise of more color and motion. A wooden bowl so large it must have taken an endless amount of care and craftsmanship. I am going to go around some more. Also Ale 8 is served here.

They have the best gluten free buns! My daughter and I both order the grill chicken sandwich. It was so good that we ordered a 2nd one each. Very clean kitchen and great service.

People were very friendly. We had a huge burger and fries for less thank$13. Definitely would recommend it for a quick lunch.

No more hot dinners since covid. Burger shown on website has a ciabatta bun on a real plate. Mine was a frozen burger on a cheap bun, served in a styrofoam takeout container (in the cafe, not takeout). Waffle fries were good and crispy. I gave it one star because service on styrofoam containers and cups is truly inexplicable when the Artisan Center is meant to represent the progressive city of Berea.

Don’t care for food served in styrofoam take-out boxes. Food wasn’t bad, wasn’t terrific, interesting seeing the artwork!

I love this cafe. The food was great and price was awesome too. This is a perfect spot to stop while traveling on the road.
Really unique spot with some amazing handcrafted items.

I ordered the burger of the month which I thought was very good. Soup was ok. I was vey surprised when I was charged $2 for a cup of water.

The food at the cafe is a lot better than you might expect. Years back it was pretty standard cafeteria fair, but over the last few years the head chef and the menu have changed dramatically.The burgers in particular are top notch. Cakes, quiche, pork chops, all worth eating.I went in to do food photography for the new menu and ended up stuffing my face till it hurt... and then I ate a couple more bites.Definitely worth trying out if you're just passing through and don't have time to visit the town.
