The deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum’s cafe has reopened in a new location in the central courtyard with more seating, longer hours, and and an expanded menu.
The deCordova Café was moved from the fourth floor of the main building to a central location near the store and parking lots. Hours are 9 a.m.–3 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 11 a.m.–4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
Groups of 10 or larger are encouraged to call in advance and order from the group menu. School groups are not permitted to dine in the Café without prior warning. Seating for larger groups is available at the Sculpture Terrace, and the Store’s Courtyard.
The café menu includes sandwiches, salads, and soups made fresh daily in house. It also offers snacks, desserts, and hot and cold beverages including beer and wine, plus warm pastries, quiche and espresso for breakfast. A selection of artwork by local artists from deCordova’s corporate art loan program is on display, and there is free WiFi.
DeCordova’s courtyard was renovated with the help of local businesses and community members under the leadership of landscape architect Natalie DeNormandie, with new design elements and plantings. More than half of the courtyard project was donated by local residents, designers, contractors, and others.
“We’re excited to reopen the deCordova Café and Courtyard to offer the community a beautiful space to grab a bite to eat, enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of wine with friends, or simply relax outdoors surrounded by art and nature,” said David Duddy, deCordova’s deputy director for operations.
