Asian Art Museum Cafe, Museum café in Civic Center, San Francisco, United States
The Asian Art Museum Café is a dining space within the museum in Civic Center that serves Asian-inspired dishes and specialty teas. The room features contemporary design and offers daily selections created by the museum's kitchen team.
The café came into being when the museum relocated to the former city hall building in 2003 and has remained through all subsequent expansions of the museum. Its establishment is directly tied to the museum's repositioning at this historic location.
The café reflects culinary traditions represented in the museum's collections, with dishes that combine local American ingredients with Asian cooking techniques. Visitors can sense the connection between what they eat and the objects displayed in galleries nearby.
The café is located within the museum complex and is accessible during museum hours without requiring a separate admission fee. Visitors can easily reach it from the main entrance and it offers seating indoors with rest areas for museum guests.
The café offers an exceptional selection of teas sourced directly from regions represented in the museum's galleries. These carefully chosen varieties come from the same trade routes as many of the displayed artworks.
