I have given them many chances but they always leave something out. Today I ordered the Chipotle chicken panini with no red onions. The only thing correct is the bread. This has no avocado, pepper jack or roasted red peppers. It is just chicken with what taste like buffalo sauce. I didnt get a side either. It has been every time I have ordered. So disappointing to get to your desk and it be wrong.

Delicious food! It came out quickly for a sit down cafe and it was nice not to have to leave the museum to find food.

Great service, nice and clean. We didn't eat anything, but the hot chocolate was delicious, perfect on a cold morning.

Protein options are mostly fried and full of fat or carbs. Although the place and menu is good with great options the food itself is trying to be gourmetVegetarian options: Vegetarian options are not easy to find

Food was good. I had the club sandwich and pasta. The chili was awesome as well. The service is fast.

Surprisingly reasonably priced, excellent quality food that was both kid-friendly and adult-friendly. It's simple fare- soups, wraps, and sandwiches, mostly, but all very good. There were also plenty of vegetarian options and while I didn't check, I presume also some gluten-free. The coffee bar was solid, and there were even some local brews. All in all, I was super impressed and so were the kids.Vegetarian options: I didn't look closely at the vegetarian menu, but it was a solid 1/4 of the menu.Kid-friendliness: There were 5-6 separate kids menu options (standards like grilled cheese, hot dog, burger, chicken tenders, etc), all of which looked to be good quality.

This place is inside the NC Museum of National Sciences so the atmosphere is fun. Be prepared for lots of kids which is not a bad things.Food is yummy and comes out pretty quick. Staff is friendly.Very environmentally friendly with compostable plates, cups, etc.A little pricey but not outrageous. Par for the course in downtown.Kid-friendliness: There are tons of kids running around as they visit the museum.Wheelchair accessibility: There are ramps out front for accessible access.

Ok for a quick bite during lunch or a visit to the museum. It will fill the hole.

It is a museum restaurant so don't expect 5 star quality, but it's decent for the price.

This was definitely not worth $5.50. The cup wasn't even full. Don't order unless you want to be sad.
