After finishing our visit to the 5th floor of the Museum of Modern Art, we went up to the café on the 6th floor to rest our legs.
I didn’t have high expectations because the reviews weren’t very good, but the food was delicious and the server was extremely friendly.
The café atmosphere on a rainy day was also very nice.

I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the cafe Terrace inside MoMa, NYC, USA.
A pleasant café on the top floor of the MoMA, with a beautiful terrace that must be great in warmer seasons.
Since the weather didn’t allow it, we sat indoors, where the space is nicely decorated with artwork. The tables are fairly close to each other, which makes the café a bit loud, but in a lively, not unpleasant way.
We had to wait a little for a table because it was a rainy day and the place was in high demand, but we were seated in about 10 minutes — perfectly reasonable given the circumstances. The service was quite fast once we sat down.
We ordered a pork-based sandwich and coffees, both of which were perfectly decent and fairly priced. Not exceptional, but a solid option if you want to eat comfortably inside the museum.
Overall, a good choice for a break while visiting the MoMA.

This was a difficult spot to find as only certain elevators accessed it. Stopped by because I was famished and finally found and got to enter a short while before they closed. While the dining area was nice and the server was very attentive…the food was not great. I had the fricassee salad that had a cold egg and super hard bacon and the chicken which while it looked good..was super dry…cold and the vegetables had a weird taste due to the sauce being very bitter.

If you need a break from the crowds at MoMA, the Terrace Cafe is the place. The salmon was fresh and well-prepared, and a cold beer was exactly the “refreshment” I needed to keep the energy up. Great atmosphere and much-needed seating!

We ordered quickly and were quickly served. But …. Disappointed by the quantity of food in the plate and with its quality , I think that you pay in an expensive manner a good location and environment. Staff’s attitude is a bit controversial imho.
Ok art and modern art are at the door but still a smile is welcomed

This place is on the sixth floor of the Museum of Modern Arts(MoMA). It is good for a quick refreshment after roaming around the museum for the whole day. However, you need to invest some time off your art watching schedule since this is a sit and dine restaurant. The food is quite okayish and felt a bit higher on the price. We also grabbed a cup of hot chocolate, which was quite refreshing. It also has a rooftop/open dining area which is great if you would like to hang out in the sun. This place also has multiple charging points, so if your phone needs some juice, this is the place to be.

Had a light bite at the terrace Cafe between exhibition halls. Great service had the Cuban sandwich, salad and a refreshing lemonade. Cool place to re-up your energy and hydrate.

We had Lunch today in the Terrace Cafe. We did expect not that much, because normally in Museum Restaurants the food is not the very best.
But in this Cafe, everything was perfect.
The waiters where friendly, the food very delicious and everything was on the point.
Thank you for your very kind service and the very nice food.
Tipp: They have also vegan options. Just ask for ist.

We went to MOMA to enjoy a day of Art and when we felt that we needed a break we stepped into the Terrace cafe. We didn’t have a reservation so we had to wait like 20 minutes, to get in. However, the wait was worth it. We enjoyed a table on the patio and ordered a Gazpacho, carrot cake and some other chocolate cake and coffee because we miss Spain, and as a surprise, it was really good.
The staff are very nice and friendly, the price is a little too high, but I guess is compensated by the great atmosphere of MOMA

Although they were closing the kitchen in 15 minutes, our server was attentive but we didn’t feel rushed. We each had a perfectly chilled glass of wine, she with a frisée salad lyonnaise and me with an amazing gazpacho. We shared the potato chips and dip to start. Sitting outside overlooking the city after gorging on art with my daughter/friend was the highlight of our very full day. It’s worth every penny!
