Had a wonderful lunch in the fall. It was a nice way to slow down and recharge energy to continue with the museum visit. Ordered a salad, wine and a dessert. Good food and good service. The staff was not intrusive but was attentive.
We decided to visit Terrace cafe during our visit at MoMA. Terrace cafe was lovely and had helpful staff. I had beef burger and Mac and cheese. Both were OK, but I think it is a bit overpriced, even considering its location.
Great food, drinks and service. I especially enjoyed the cheese plate, chips with onion dip and my favorite, Stucco marmo. The price is reasonable given the excellent taste and presentation of their food and drinks. And all the servers were nice and courteous. Will definitely be going back!
OMG. The carrots cake was so tasty. The passion fruit sauce was fresh and yum.
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

First stop while visiting MoMA to fuel up before heading into the museum. Wasn't sure upon arrival if you can get there without going through the museum..and I think you maybe able to. We took the long way around. Had reservations for 11:30 and was there for about 1.5 hours. Very simple decor and the seating was nice. If it wasn't so hot outside would have enjoyed the patio seating...just too humid for that. By the time we left, they were pretty packed.
Got the Mac & Cheese and the Roast Beef Sandwich with horseradish, cheddar and crispy onions. Both were delicious! Coffee was good too.
Our server was nice as we took a few minutes to order as we were catching up. Loved the ability to use Apple Pay upon closing the check. Would recommend for a bite before or after the museum and to make a reservation.

Great place for a small lunch while visiting the MOMA. Food was delicious. Staff was attentive. It was a little pricey, but worth it for how convenient it is. I wish I got more pictures of the atmosphere and decor. It was beautiful. Indoor and outdoor seating available. We went on a busy July day at lunch time and there was no wait for a table.
Had a quick lunch during my visit at MOMA. It’s located at 6F west of the building.
They have a combo menu for savoury and sweet at $29 ,so I ordered roasted beef sandwich and chocolate cake with raspberry sauce for dessert. The sandwich is just okay for me, but the chocolate cake is divine-moist and not so sweet.
They are quite efficient in serving the food and overall the service is standard.
I will prolly come back for the dessert more than the main dish.
