What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"You kidding me? For a sandwich that costs 11 dollars, they decide to rip me off with the ham? Holy bejeezus these guys are complete scam artists."
"The food sold in this cafe is more expensive than Disneyland which is unacceptable. Definitely not recommended. Bring your own snacks and drinks. The Getty Center itself is excellent but the food sold here is bad. Are those dry and tasteless sandwich made of gold? This place is a complete ripoff."

The service at the Garden Terrace Cafe is excellent. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they are happy to make recommendations. The food is also excellent. The portions are generous, and the dishes are well-prepared. Prices at the Garden Terrace Cafe are reasonable, considering the location and the quality of the food. Overall, the Garden Terrace Cafe is a great option for a meal or snack at the Getty Center. Great place to lay on the grassy hill!"
"The Getty Center is an amazing place to visit. This cafe however, is one of the worst place ever. The prices are exorbitant to start with (over $4 for a bottle of water). Selection of food is terrible. If you're a student on a budget, this is pretty much the cheapest place there (unless you count coffee, which isn't cheap) so you won't be able to afford it (go eat afterwards). For such an amazing museum, they did an absolute horrible job when it comes to affordable food. Their $10 sandwiches are, how shall I say, are dry...very dry. As for flavor, there is none. I ended up putting in several packets of mayo and mustard because I wouldn't have finished it otherwise. The pot roast dish (can't remember the exact name of the dish) was somewhat edible but it was close to $20 for a tiny portion. Had it not been for my family and relatives being there, I would have just gotten pizza afterwards. You can guess how expensive it was for a light lunch meal for six people. Next time, I'm making sure we get lunch before we go there and you should probably do the same."
"Can you please have some better food:( Only terrible, expensive cold sandwiches and bland soups, salads and such. All very expensive and taste terrible. If you are gonna charge premium prices, then you should serve premium food. If you are gonna sell disgusting cold sandwiches, you should charge a very low price. Getty is such a beautiful place to visit, yet their food is really disappointing and embarrassing"
"A rather small cafe with a massive outdoor seating area. The food selections were very limited. The cheese and charcuterie boxes looked not bad though...."
