Food / Drink choices arent as expansive as a cafe or restaurant, but the cafeteria area is a beautiful place to hang out in.

One of the coolest places in Richmond. Great coffee, excellent food, a hard working staff in a superb museum with a stunning architectural landscape.

This is a great cafe to stop and take a rest from touring the museum, or even just enjoying a meal or snack or coffee in an unusual setting. The desserts in particular are to die for...I sometimes go in just for coffee and a cookie.

I always enjoy taking a break here. The coffee is excellent, the food quality is very good for a cafeteria but it is the ability to just sit and think or talk with friends about the art you have just enjoyed.

Food is great and well-priced. The cafe is a big open area with plenty of seating and lovely views of the sculpture garden. A bit noisy when crowded but a great choice for lunch when you've got a few hours of museum walking to do.

Best Cafe is understandably concerned about cleanliness, especially during the pandemic, and that’s great! Fortunately, delicious and healthy food is still available there. Today I met someone there for lunch, and we both enjoyed sitting outside. It was getting hot outside. Thankfully, we were under shade of the building, and there was a nice breeze!
