The café has the typical look you would expect of a museum cafe, but it has a more upscale menu and prices to match a white tablecloth dining experience. Admission is not required if all you would like to do is dine at the café. They offer a decent selection of wines and beverages. While researching the museum we found this is a go-to brunch location for locals on Sundays.
