As you stroll through the galleries of the Taft Museum of Art, past the Rembrandt and Sargent and the Duncanson murals, you’ll inevitably make your way to the Taft’s dining room, where they hosted artists, politicians, and other visiting dignitaries.

It’s only fitting, then that the museum is home to a cafe that welcomes guests into this former home, offering a chance to relax and refocus amid all of the art.

The Taft Café has just unveiled a new menu which includes boozy brunch options, savory lunch items, and grab-and-go coffee and tea service. Now visitors can unwind with artfully prepared meals as part of the museum’s “palate” of experiences.

The Taft Café is also partnering with local suppliers including Sidewinder Coffee, Churchill’s Fine Teas, Allez Bakery, Blue Oven Bakery, El Camino Baking Company, Morsel & Nosh, ETC Produce & Provisions, and Snowville Creamery.

For starters enjoy Blue Oven English muffins, croissants from El Camino Bakery, and a Charcuterie et Fromage board. Among the desserts are salted chocolate chip cookies. As an added bonus, members enjoy a 10 percent discount in the café.
