Under the big skylight in the American Wing, where everything feels still and timeless, I took a break with a Pistachio Frangipane & Rhubarb Tart and a hot cup of green tea.

The tart looked as good as it tasted. Pink rhubarb slices sat on a soft green pistachio layer. The filling was lightly nutty and buttery, with a nice chew that went well with the tart rhubarb. It wasn’t too sweet, which made it feel fancy and balanced.

The green...
They had PB&J. Also located in a world famous NY museum. For that I gave it 4 stars. Convenient to have a place to buy drinks (good variety), a sandwhich (good selection to choose from), and a coffee. Brew was ok. Self serve which surprised me. [All you can drink?]
Plenty of seating, but tables are closes together. No real complaints.
I do wish they had a latte machine.
I'd say this is the nicest cafe in the museum.
You have a view of Central Park on one side and a lovely view of the sheltered statue courtyard (Charles Englehard Court) on the other.
The prices are as expected for a museum cafe, but it's not expected to tip which brings it somewhat closer to the total price you'd pay elsewhere.
