What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"The food was very filling! The orzo pasta salad was surprisingly good and perfect for the hot day. Definitely recommend coming here if you’re taking a day trip to the museum"
"One of the most disappointing food experience. Menu descriptions led one to believe the food was pleasing. This was not the case. Cobb Salad with dried out chicken, Adult Grilled Cheese, consisted of basic toasted white bread and what appeared to be Kraft cheese slices and a thin layer of pesto. Mezze platter pita, not naan. The best thing was the wine offering. At 60.00$ plus for the quality left us scratching our heads. We can not recommend the cafe."
"We got the shrimp and grits and croissant sandwich! I thought the shrimp and grits were really good, a little spicy from all the old bay seasoning, but overall very good! I didn’t love sitting in the middle of a hallway to dine, but that’s my only complaint. I’m sure we’ll be back in the future!"
"Wonderful lunch dining Al fresco while visiting our favorite local art museum in Jacksonville. The Cummer Café had a great menu with some of the best soup I have had! Bursting with flavor the soup du jour was a vegan curried sweet potato bursting with flavor and yummy chunks of potatoes. Some of the best shrimp and grits in the area and a fantastic mezze platter (marinated olives, whipped feta, hummus, pickled veggies and crispy za a’atar) was enjoyed and the cobb salad did not disappoint. Service was on point and getting to spend a day in the Cummer’s galleries and garden was certainly a treat. Already looking forward to visiting it again!"
"Very first time getting to go here and I would highly only recommend eating inside and paying with card. Placed an order to go for the shrimp and grits and received a very small portion (see pic). For $16, I just expected a little more than a small takeout container. Also, I paid cash and was only provided dollars in return. When asked about the missing $0.65, the hostess stated that she didn’t have any loose change, so “SHE” decided to just round up instead. I don’t have an issue with her keeping the $0.65, but at least ask me if it’s okay before you make the executive decision to just pocket my extra funds. I would imagine she does to every customer paying in cash. And yes, I tipped her prior to ever paying for my meal because that too was in cash."
"The cummer cafe is such an amazing little restaurant. I'd love to come here on a Saturday. One entrance to the museum is free. They also have their brunch..."
