Dining

Located in our sunlit lobby, the Brooklyn Museum Café has something for everyone. Food selections range from grab-and-go sandwiches and salads to hot soups and curry, all made from fresh, seasonal ingredients. We partner with Brooklyn-based roastery Parlor Coffee for our beans, and we offer rotating canned cocktails and nonalcoholic beverages.

Swing by for a late morning coffee, grab lunch after visiting an exhibition, or relax with an afternoon cocktail or tea. Don’t miss the artist-designed stools scattered around the Café!

Wednesday–Sunday: 11 am–5:30 pm

In collaboration with celebrated local pastry chef Caroline Schiff, who was nominated by the James Beard Foundation for her nostalgic desserts at Gage & Tollner, we’ll host a diner-inspired pop-up on the first floor. Drop by to preview Schiff’s soon-to-open restaurant by sampling melts on homemade bread, sides including deviled eggs and cream of tomato soup, and a signature sweets spread featuring her trademark coconut cake.

Access available with Museum admission. Walk-ins only.
