Sample Menu items
Since the meals are prepared based on what is in season, the menu changes daily, but features items such as spinach salad with croutons and Caesar dressing; Arugula, strawberries, feta, walnuts and coriander vinaigrette; spiced chickpea with marinated chicken, cucumber, golden raisin, yogurt & mint; lobster salad roll with potato chips and more.
Family-friendly items like locally made hot dogs and PB&J made with homemade jam and fresh peanut butter.
Local Partnerships
Café Flo is also an example of how the Museum continually looks for creative ways to work with local artisans and businesses.
 For example the café tables were designed by housewright Erik Block of Hadlyme using reclaimed wood salvaged from a Connecticut mill.
 The 2010 season of Café Flo is sponsored by The Cooley Gallery of Old Lyme.
