Artful Dining
Welcome to The Durham Cafe
Awaiting visitors is a renewed dining area in the centrally located, light-filled Conagra Brands Atrium; seasonal outdoor seating; expanded hours; and the fresh, nutritious food and exceptional service that will define The Durham Cafe presented by Clean Slate. Led by Clean Slate Executive Chef Billy Le, The Durham Cafe at The Joslyn will serve thoughtful foods at a quick-service pace during all regular Museum hours. To complement the international focus of the Museum’s collection, the menu will take guests on a delicious world tour, reflecting the diverse cultures explored in the galleries.
The Durham Cafe presented by Clean Slate will offer a range of made-to-order and ready-made dishes for breakfast and lunch, alongside a full-service coffee bar featuring the renowned roasts of Archetype Coffee, a local Omaha favorite with a national reputation. The expanded beverage program will include wine, beer, and select libations. The menu can accommodate all dietary needs, including kid-friendly choices. During The Joslyn’s two weekly late evenings (Wed and Thu until 8 pm), The Cafe will offer an intimate and exciting spot for fine dining.
The Durham Cafe presented by Clean Slate opens at The Joslyn on September 10, 2024.
