I visited this cafe in the Yellowstone Art Museum today. I just had tea but saw there was a fairly large and interesting looking menu. Service is quick, friendly and efficient. My only complaint is that the cafe is small and tucked into a corner. It's easy to miss. Better signage would be helpful.

the cafe situated inside the YAM may be small but dang the food was good on a chilly day. quaint and comfortable atmosphere. staff was very kind. latte and salad were piping hot but very delicious. don't go to the YAM without stopping inside for a bite! they are proof your eatery doesn't need to show off for it to have great food.

Best potato soup I have ever had. I ate it in like, 30 seconds. I also loved the quiche, how it came with fresh fruits and arugula to cut the fat. My mom loved her avocado toast - she got it without the salmon because she's vegan but she still loved it. The steamed horchata wasn't too sweet. It was a little cold when I got it but I still liked it. All-in-all, very impressive restaurant, tucked away in a beautiful museum. Everyone should visit if they get the chance. Thank you again!

I love to meet my friends for lunch at the Raven. Always lovely choices and ample ice tea. It is fun to sit on the YAM patio when weather permits. Never rushed.
