Acorn: A Dickie Brennan & Co. Cafe

Wow, you don't expect food at a children's museum to be any good, but Acorn is delicious. Highly recommend. Family oriented but open to anyone. I don't have kids, and I've been here multiple times.

Very nice and helpful people.

They have some vegan options (mostly geared toward adults). Also had popsicles - with a few flavors that were dairy free and dye free! My kids loved the treats! (They are well labeled so if you need to check the label for ingredients just ask!)

Friendly, family atmosphere on the water. Kids get a kick out of seeing the turtles. Food is good for all ages!

We had my daughter's Sweet Sixteen at Acorn Cafe and it was an outstanding experience! The food was great, arrangements were seamless and the staff was attentive. The cafe and balcony are simply gorgeous at night. Highly recommend!

Nice place to eat and relax. We had the veggie pesto wrap with added chicken which and a cobb salad - both delicious and perfect for a light lunch. Iced latte tasy as well. Lovely place to sit outside on the terrace and watch the terrapins in the water.

This little cafe that is attached to the LA Children’s Museum is a great spot for a quick bite or snack or a full lunch. They have a good menu of sandwiches and salads. Their pastry counter is my favorite though, can’t leave without a homemade pop tart or a delicious cinnamon roll ?

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Acorn, a delightful little restaurant attached to the Louisiana Children's Museum. My intention was simple: to grab a quick bottle of water. However, I was pleasantly surprised by what I found. Among their offerings, a homemade strawberry pop tart caught my eye, and I couldn't resist giving it a try. It was a decision I didn't regret – the pop tart was absolutely delicious, far surpassing the ones I've tried at Disney World's Toy Story Land. The strawberry filling was evidently homemade, fresh, and perfectly balanced in sweetness.Though my visit was brief, the variety on their menu intrigued me. There were many options I didn't get to explore, but the glimpse of their culinary diversity was enough to assure me that a return visit is necessary. Acorn is not just a convenient stop for museum-goers but a genuine culinary destination in its own right. The cozy and welcoming atmosphere adds to the overall delightful experience. I can't wait to return, especially for another one of those heavenly strawberry pop tarts! A five-star rating for Acorn – highly recommended for anyone visiting the museum or in the area!

Kid-friendliness: Acorn shines in its kid-friendliness, offering a menu full of appealing choices for children and cozy, kid-sized booths that make the dining experience fun and comfortable for the little ones. This thoughtful approach to accommodating families truly makes it a delightful spot for both parents and kids.
