Crema's Take

“The Trie Café is a museum cafeteria with a pleasant courtyard setting, but it's being run as a pure markup operation—expect to pay $5 for water, $15 for stale sandwiches, and $5 for a handful of gummy bears, with everything prepackaged and prices that have gotten noticeably worse under new management. The garden seating is genuinely nice and quiet if you go at the right time, but you're paying museum-captive pricing for convenience, not quality. Only visit if you're already in the museum and need a break; don't make it a destination.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

$15 for a stale premade sandwich is insulting, but somewhat predictable for a museum cafeteria. $5 for a water, without a nearby water fountain or station, is straight up evil.

This place has always been lackluster but this season it’s far worse. Seems to be under new management. Its a glorified vending machine. Everything is prepackaged with a 500% markup. It’s a cafe and they don’t have hot coffee just cans. Obviously the result of necrotic…

This was a nice small business inside the museum. I am glad they had the cafe outdoors in the courtyard garden area. It’s spaced out and not over crowded.

The setting is lovely. But the food is way too overpriced. Even for a museum. Charged me $5 for 10 gummy bears in a bag. It also is really crowded. With everyone talking its not really a serene place to have a snack.

Extremely overpriced, as one would expect being located inside a museum in a remote area... but the sandwich was tasty and the setting was serene :-)
