The vibes are off the charts and there’s almost no one (so no noise, except for the background music). There’s loads of options from pastries to full meals. I had a great time after visiting the museum upstairs and I do want to say I wanted to have another donut. I recommend this place. PS: there’s a vending machine for sodas.

Kitchen and restaurant staff are very helpful and provide an excellent customer service experience! The food is tasty and well prepared. My wife a Texan and Hamburger Aficionado had the November burger of the month, with mushroom pepper sauce. She enjoyed it so much that she asked the chef for the recipe, which he obviously refused to divulge !!! I had the Caesar's Salad which was fresh and crispy! All is n all, we had a very pleasant dining experience and can, with a good conscience recommend the C.E.R.N. cafeteria to all visitors!!!
