Miriam's Café at the Smart

Miriam's Café at the Smart Miriam's Café is the in-house coffee shop at the Smart Museum of Art. We are located in Hyde Park, at the heart of the University of Chicago campus.

Permanently closed.

The bright and art-filled Miriam’s Café at the Smart Museum of Art is home to the finest coffee on the University of Chicago's Hyde Park campus. The café serves premium illy coffee, espresso drinks, hand-bagged tea, and a diverse selection of international fare from local businesses. The menu includes sandwiches from Z&H, assorted tofu and veggie dishes from Snail Thai, sandwiches and salads from

the Sit Down, Indian dishes from Rajun Cajun, and baked goods from The Bagelers. The café and outdoor sculpture garden offer flexible seating for relaxing with friends, reading and studying, fueling up between class, and meeting with advisors and colleagues. Miriam’s Café was dedicated in 2016 in honor of Miriam W. Graham (1919–2013), a longtime supporter and art donor to the Museum. Her bequest to the Smart Museum helps us create a vibrant cultural destination for students and neighbors, families and scholars—a spot that brings art and museums into everyday life and routines.
