Quill & Crumb is the new Folger café, located in the Great Hall. Enjoy lunch, baked goods, and snacks alongside coffee and tea service during the day, and a full-service bar and light bites in the evening.
Menu
The seasonal menu includes light grab-and-go options; soups, salads, and sandwiches throughout the day; boxed lunches available to eat on the Folger’s grounds; a variety of coffees, teas, and snacks; and full bar service and small plates in the evening.
The café is run by Constellation Culinary Group, which operates a number of restaurants and eateries at American cultural institutions, including Merriweather Café at Hillwood Estate and Stir Restaurant at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The Great Hall
Quill & Crumb is located in the Folger’s historic Great Hall, which was originally designed by architect Paul Philippe Cret to resemble a gallery within a 16th-century English home. The Great Hall features strapwork plaster ceiling, oak-paneled walls, and intricately designed terracotta floors.

Seating will be offered in three zones across the Great Hall:
- tables and banquettes ideal for leisurely lunches
