The Cafe

The Café offers snacks and picnicking any time the museum is open. We feature a Berkshire Naturals vending machine with healthy and organic snacks. If visitors are looking for more than snacks, our neighbor, Atkins Farms Country Market is just around the corner.

We also invite visitors to bring their own food, so feel free to pack a picnic lunch for your visit.

Due to limited seating, groups of 10 or more will be charged a $10 Café rental fee so that we may reserve tables for you in advance of your arrival. For reservations, please contact the Education Department at programs@carlemuseum.org or (413) 658-1141.

While we encourage guests to picnic in our Café and on our grounds, we cannot accommodate functions such as birthday parties or showers during museum hours. Please contact Facility Rentals at specialevents@carlemuseum.org if you are interested in holding your event at the Carle after hours.

(Please note: Oversized bags must still be checked in Museum spaces, and food and drink can only be consumed in the Café.)
