Flatbreads and sandwiches are adequate scones and eclairs are delicious!

You can sit outside while looking at the gardens or the National Archives building as you ponder pretending to be Nicolas Cage to steal the Declaration of Independence whilst eating a salad. The salads are average but it was good enough for me to find something nearby while walking around so much. There is currently no indoor seating due to covid. Social distancing is still enforced.

If you're looking for a place to unwind and spend some time, this is one of the top options, along with the rooftop Cafe and the more contemporary section of the national gallery. Keep in mind that the prices here are about 50% higher than what you would pay elsewhere, as most museums on the mall tend to overcharge for basic snacks. It's likely their way of making up for offering free admission. In the end, it's probably worth it.
