The Cafe
New Name, New Look, New Menu!
The Cafe at The Dayton Art Institute has a new name and a new look. With its convenient location in downtown Dayton and free parking, it's the perfect place for lunch!
The menu currently reflects the nostalgic Americana of the recent special exhibition, American Chronicles: The Art of Norman Rockwell. It includes a soup-of-the-day, three lunch salads, a triple-decker club sandwich, Sloppy Joes, three-cheese grilled cheese and a good, old-fashioned cheeseburger! In addition, The Cafe will feature a daily special, "Just Like Grandma's". The menu will also include PB&J and Mac & Cheese for kids, as well as a selection of pies for dessert.
As new special exhibitions come to the museum, the menu will be updated to reflect the exhibition's theme. Check back often for updates!
New Cafe Hours:
Wed. - Sat.: 11:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Sun.: noon - 3:30 p.m.
