Stepping inside, you'll find a vibrant atmosphere filled with the chatter of museum-goers and the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air. While the cafe can get quite busy, the warm diligence of the staff is commendable. They continually strive to provide a welcoming experience, even during peak hours, making you feel taken care of amidst the bustling ambiance.

When it comes to the menu, Allegretto Cafe embraces a blend of casual yet delicious dining. Customers have savored dishes like the oriental wrap and the club salmon sandwich, both of which highlight freshness and flavor, bringing a mouthwatering twist to café fare.

Very busy, but the servers were nice and doing their best with limited workers. The food was okay, and the coffee was decent. Museum priced cafe sone expect it.

We had a good experience here. Yes, it’s expensive, but you’re eating at a restaurant inside a museum — what do you expect?! We had an oriental wrap, a club salmon sandwich, gunpowder green tea and a latte macchiato. The food was fresh, crispy and tasty. Staff was typical German, not overly friendly but not rude either. Underrated place.
