This cafe has a nice menu with seating and tables in view of the long lily pond bordered with bronze statues.

Degas, Monet, Manet, Rembrandt and Picasso masterpieces originals! Cheap entrance for all the depth of original art. A few visits to capture the garden and various exhibits.

One of my favorite Los Angeles museums with art on par with the better European museums.Norton Simon has a huge art collection, about two-thirds of which is in basement storage.
This order-at-the-counter, plastic-utensil café would be unremarkable but for its idyllic location overlooking a lily pond in the midst of a sculpture garden at Pasadena's Norton Simon Museum. You don't have to pay admission to the museum to linger at this tranquil, umbrella-shaded café. The menu is not terribly sophisticated: quesadillas, hummus and chips, a turkey sandwich and a roast beef wrap with caramelized onions and blue cheese. But imposing sculptures by Henry Moore, Jacques Lipchitz and Aristide Maillol elevate the experience.
