Gallery Cafe

For a free museum, I understand that a lot of things have to be compensated. We had a Coca-Cola here and it was quite pricy but the place was very big and had lots of seating options which was nice. The London Science Museum does have a lot of things to see but not many places to sit so I appreciated it when we walked past the gallery cafe and wanted to have a break from touring.

Most of the photos on this map are *not* the photos of this cafe. This is a small cafe on the second floor with vegetarian menu. It's usually quiet. Staff were extremely well informed about allergy and super helpful. Halloumi panini and beetroot salad I had were scrumptious. Will definitely come again.

I was there with a friend and two kids. We enjoyed a lot! It’s the best option in the museum. They so many vegan options. Kids menu was not vegan. When I asked if they can do a vegan kids menu they offered a great vegan option without hesitating. Staff is smiley and helpful. Also it is much more illuminated than the other cafes in the museum. Their kid menu is healthier than the other one as well (i do not understand why kids menu has never no-nutritional value). We appreciate our experience and we will be back!

Pizza was pretty good and although we visited on Saturday afternoon there was plenty of comfy seating upstairs and access for prams via lift. Tables were clean and there were staff constantly on hand tidying up tables so it didn't have that air of understaffed neglect that some self-service places have when they are busy. It's not cheap but not eye-wateringly expensive either. You'd always expect to pay a little extra eating in these kinds of places.
