Cool Cafe

Nice atmosphere with outdoor seating, beside Rodin sculpture garden and Cantor museum. A little pricey for on-campus food.

The food is much better than your average fair but even accounting for the quality, prices are crazy. $13 for a hot dog and chips, $15 for a burger, no sides, and $9 for a mug of soup. It's a nice Cafe with phone chargers and an outside patio but it's worth eating at Stanford Shopping Center or downtown for a better deal.

As with Jesse Cool's restaurant, the food is local, fresh and imaginative. This is not your usual mediocre concession in a venue! Since you are surrounded by art that is free, the cost of your meal or snack shouldn't deter you. Indoor and lovely outdoor seating, often crowded at lunch on weekends. The Cantor Museum is a great little venue in which to have a casual bite. Parking on the street outside the museum is metered and permitted on weekdays, but free on weekends. You can take your food out to sit in the Rodin Garden too.

Can never go wrong seeing an exhibit at Cantors Museum. The Cool Cafe is the restaurant in the museum and is worth your time getting a nosh. Good flavors and nice menu.
