Staff: Uh they were nice. However, they didn't tell me they were going to call my name around the corner so I sat waiting for a long time. Quality: All we ordered was an Italian soda which is basically club soda with strawberry. It was really good. Value: Here is where I struggled. The Italian soda was $5.50 which is fine but a coke can was $5.00. Come on! Overall: The spot is a cute little place to eat but pricing appears high for me. Side note: Management should be aware of a broken table that presents a liability hazard (see video). read more

Cafe inside the Museum of Pop culture. The ordering process is a kiosk type of system out you can scan a QR code to order. I suggest the QR version, since the counter ordering is very slow as people decide what they want. They have a few daily specials each day and you have to ask the people behind the counter how to order them. Kinda pricey for a sandwich shop but not bad for a museum cafe. You can see parts of the entrance to the museum while you wait for your food or sit outside if it's nice enough. Food came out quickly. The person behind the counter was very helpful. The food was ok. We got chicken tenders and the croissant turkey club. The bacon was not edible. The chips and fries were good. The peach iced tea was great read more

Looking at the menu online before arriving it looked very basic, however upon arrival their daily specials counter was full of delightful looking foods. I ordered their Turkey club special, served with house made bbq chips (didnt know that when I ordered and added fries). Be aware that if you order a special, they pull it right out of the counter. Items I thought were display only is the sandwich I was served. Not too bad for a club but I would be scared if I had ordered the egg salad sandwich as I have no idea how long they have been sitting there. The edge of the bread was getting hard from being on display and the chips were slightly stale. The fries were good but the buzzer they gave us didnt work and it sat for pick up longer than we would have liked so some of the fries were cold. We both ordered watermelon mint refreshers which were really good. My friend also got a caramel iced coffee that she said was good and she could feel it in her veins. Seattle makes strong coffee. I think if we came back here I would not order from the specials counter due to the food sitting. However I was surprised at the quality of the food that was being cooked fresh. read more

We came in here to get some drinks before entering the museum and was shocked at the prices. A can of soda was $5. I ended up getting an Italian soda with strawberry. It was pricer than the soda but I didn't mind that... I just couldn't pay $5 for a can of coke. The Italian soda was pretty good. It was club soda with strawberry flavoring . read more

Culture Kitchen is okay. It is a very run of the mill, convenience cafe. Ambiance was fine - nothing exciting, not as basic as a cafeteria but not as interesting as most cafes. We ordered through the kiosk. I noted the museum level cafe prices and didn't think chicken fingers should have been that much, but people were peckish so I agreed to the nibble. They were nothing to remember. I recalled the restaurant that was here before Culture Kitchen and felt disappointment. There wasn't any real service to write of - everything was a hand-off, no interaction. I think there's better options then Culture but it isn't the worst - just okay. read more

Pretty nasty to be honest LOL! Got the charcuterie pretzel which amounted to just under $22 after tax. Pretzel was fine, a bit dry, pretty large, served cold, not salted. Came with; 3 cheeses - two of which were types of bleu cheese. Interesting they would serve two like that, let alone one. I mean, I ate it, but doesn't seem like a crowd pleaser. Salami and prosciutto. Both fine. Nothing that would make me say "wow that's good." Olives: 3 types. One type was quite mushy - I'm an olive lover and my guess is that they're pressure canned in a jar and likely on the older side. The calvestrano were great. Fruit: Blueberries. NOT fresh. Most of them were shriveled, some were even mashed! There was one strawberry and it was quite unripe with a third of it being white. Get this - there is only ONE bathroom, it's "family" accessible on this side with the "restaurant." Otherwise, you'll need your ticket to return to the full bathrooms which are literally just on the other side of the return section...but why? Haha. I didn't want to bother the person I was with to dig around for the tickets while we were eating so I waited for the family bathroom which of course was in use since it's the only bathroom! TIP: Keep your tickets handy for reasons above. If needing a snack, leave and return! McD's across the street or hit The Armory. This restaurant is not only expensive, but just nasty read more

Consistently good food options, the times I have eaten here with my aunt when visiting the Museum of Pop Culture. Culture Kitchen is located just in and to the side of the main entrance/exit to the museum on 5th Avenue North. I have had the burger and fries and this time, Tuesday 22 August 2023, the Seattle Philly with fries. Pricing was in the $15 to $20 range each time, fries included. The fries each time were well salted and crisp, though not too oily. Between the burger and the Seattle Philly, I preferred the burger. The cheese on the Seattle Philly was a bit strong, though the bun was soft and the meat mixture inside the bun was not sparse on veggies. The tables are well set-up and are in a bus-your-own-table style. Napkins, water, and condiments are available by where one places one's order. read more

Culture Kitchen is located inside Museum of Pop Culture on the Seattle Center campus at 325 5th Ave. North. You can enter through MoPOP or it's own main street entrance. Food was decent. A bit pricey in my opinion for the amount of food. It is about the same price point as most museum, botanical gardens, and event food locations. I had the Pork Belly Banh Mi ($18) with a Diet Coke. Total cost was $24.26 for a sandwich and drink with tax and tip for one. Service was pretty much self service kiosk or phone ordering with only real interaction from food pick up. Ambiance was cool. Modern vibe with an indoor open seating area and a full bar. Indoor dining area is open so you can see out into the lobby of the Museum of Pop Culture and all the activity. We set outside in the outdoor seating area and enjoyed the weather. I would have gone with four stars if I felt like my sandwich was more full and not so skimpy for the price. It was ok and we needed to eat. I would recommend if you are spending some time at MoPOP as it's super convenient and also a good option if you are at the Seattle Center. read more

I ordered the "baby wedge" salad. It was the best wedge/blue cheese salad I've had in years. Also, it is a BIG baby, if you ask me. I'll be back. UPDATE: Have also had the Philly & the Hometown Burger. Both also 5 stars. read more

Change your hours. If you're not "ready" at 10am don't say that you're open. You can't even warm up a dang bagel because it's not 11am? At least give me a room temperature pastry. Why not just say "open at 11am"? Also overpriced and mid. If you're coming early to the museum make sure you grab something else beforehand. read more

The restaurant is very spacious and clean with a modern vibe to it. The service is spot on with friendly staff. The food was good and had an interesting concept. The deviled eggs were creamy and the crab kicked it up a notch. The pretzel charcuterie was filling and great to share. Everything was fresh and paired well together. For the drink, the Bloody Mary was spiced perfectly and the kimchi went well with it. To top it off, it even had a probiotic shot in it. Overall, this is a great place for a bite before or after the museum. read more

Stopped by September 28th during the mid morning. The shorter lady working was such a pain to deal with I came to the realization that I was NOT actually hungry enough to put up with attitude so I ate elsewhere. Others in my group did order using the kiosk and I will say the food did look pretty good. Terrible service though especially as it was not even busy at the time. Specific details: Person yelled at a customer for trying to turn the "beeper" in while picking up food. Person rolled their eyes at me and raised their voice saying "what can I get you" after I simply asked how their day was. read more

Bourbon wings were great, really loved the flavor, as well as the cheesesteak. Would have given 4 stars.... I asked for no mushrooms and when it came with mushrooms and I asked them to remake it, they made a LOUD comment in the kitchen that made me feel uncomfortable. It wasn't my mistake. I ordered correctly and was nice, patient about the mistake.I don't understand why somebody in management would think it's be appropriate to blame a customer for not liking mushrooms and loudly saying it for all to hear. read more

It's a good restaurant attached to MoPop, food selection is a good variety and relatively healthy. The issue is they force you to purchase single-use drink containers. Requested a glass of water, instead had to buy a bottle. We were sitting down to eat. Seems really waste-generating and not aligned to environmental sustainability. Please improve this! read more

The staff is always nice! Pretty fast considering peak summer rush. Although the drinks can take a while. There's ample seating upstairs and downstairs even during peak summer rush. Overall, on the pricey side (as expected for museum foods) but pretty good (for museum food). However, MoPOP always unlimited reentry with receipt for the day during opening hours. So, unless you're starving, I would recommend taking the monorail down to Pike Place or go somewhere around the area for more options, and higher quality more affordable food. 1. BLT - probably my favorite out of everything taking price into account. It's not horrendously expensive, and sometimes I crave this sandwich. Just look at that thick cut bacon! 2. Poke - For $18, this costs as much as other poke places in the area so not a bad deal! The fish is surprisingly pretty fresh and they a variety of plentiful toppings! Nothing exceptional, but a solid choice. 3. Chicken and waffles - my partner and I were blown away by this! To be fair, we have low expectations for museum food but this has no business being that good! I'm regularly have chicken and waffles in Dallas, and this is pretty up to par considering other options in Seattle. Also a solid choice. Again, not a bad a place to dine at if you're hungry and just need food quickly. But if you're visiting the area, I would recommend adventuring outside Seattle Center. read more

We ordered 2 items from the bakery and asked if they could be heated prior to ordering and were told yes. When we received the food it was cold. Took it back and politely asked if they could heat it and were told they couldn't heat anything up before 11am (it was 10:30am). Very disappointed as the bakery items were dry and would have probably been good had they been warmed up. I'm paying for a muffin. The least you can do is warm it up in a microwave. read more

Solid food and strong drinks, especially for a museum restaurant. Ate at the bar, Emily the bartender was wonderful. Very welcoming and kind. Vibes are great, loved the pop culture themed drink menu. Got the In Bloom cocktail - strong, spicy, unique and the deviled eggs. read more

I honestly wasn't expecting the food to be that good, but it was pretty tasty, yes it's a bit pricey but I didn't regret spending my money on the food because it was good. The chicken tenders were some of the best I've ever had, and the rest of the group I was enjoyed their food as well! The coffee and their chai was good as well! We chose to order at the counter instead of the self serve kiosk and the service was just as great as the food! read more

We visited this restaurant while at the Mpop Museum in Seattle. I was so impressed by a vegetarian friendly menu in a museum for starters. The service was excellent, the food was top notch, and the restaurant itself is super modern and fun not resembling the typical museum style cafe. Thank you Culture Kitchen for being AWESOME read more

We stopped in for lunch at Culture Kitchen during a family trip to MoPOP. Emily was our waitress/server/hostess, and she was so kind and friendly. Super attentive, refreshing my son's drink without him even having to ask. I was impressed! The food was delicious, I went with the fish and chips, I always worry about fish and chips being too greasy, but it's one of those things I always have to try. Culture Kitchen serves Neah Bay black cod fish and chips - it was SO GOOD. Not too greasy at all. Hubs went with the Seattle Philly and my son had the Dungeness crab grilled cheese. No complaints! I usually post pics to my reviews but not this time - by the time I thought to snap anything, we'd eaten it all! read more

The bartender guy kept referring to me as "boss" "brutha" and "bossman". Very unprofessional

Waited 20 min for food. My buzzer never went off. Went up to check and the guy at the counter angrily told me he had called my name and in a very pissed off way pointed to the meal. It was cold, hard rice. There's loud music. I was sitting far from the register. The meal was 19 dollars. Wtf. Why did he give me a buzzer, Joshua? To not use it then get angry when I didn't pick up my cold, stale over-priced food? read more
