Smart Café and Shop
The finest coffee on campus
The Smart Museum’s bright and airy café is home to the finest coffee on campus, offering freshly brewed illy coffee and espresso drinks. The menu includes great food from Hyde Park and beyond: sandwiches and salads from Medici Deli and Pizza Capri, assorted hot noodles from Snail Thai, salads and soups from foodism, and baked goods from Medici.
Grab your favorite drink from one of our baristas and spend a quiet morning reading in the café or enjoy an afternoon debating art with friends in our outdoor sculpture garden.
