WASHINGTON, Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Constellation Culinary Group will manage the new eatery, which will offer lunch, coffee service, grab-and-go options, along with bar service and savory bites

The Folger Shakespeare Library is ready to welcome guests to its brand new café, Quill & Crumb, which opens on Friday, November 22. The new café is housed in the Folger's historic Great Hall and will offer lunch, baked goods, snacks, and savory bites alongside coffee and tea service. A bar offering beer, wine, local cider, and assorted seasonal cocktails will also be a part of the menu. Quill & Crumb is open to the public, and no timed-entry passes or event tickets are needed in order to dine at the café.

"We are thrilled to be able to offer Quill & Crumb to guests of the Folger and to our neighbors on Capitol Hill as a place for good food and conviviality" said Folger Director Farah Karim-Cooper. "We hope the café invites visitors to linger and encourages our community to gather at the Folger."

"We are thrilled to be able to offer Quill & Crumb to guests of the Folger and to our neighbors on Capitol Hill as a place for good food and conviviality" said Folger Director Farah Karim-Cooper. "We hope the café invites visitors to linger and encourages our community to gather at the Folger."

The plan for the café was a part of the Folger's transformative, $80.5-million renovation and expansion project. Through the renovation, the Folger added room to mount exhibitions in their own purpose-built spaces in the new, 12,000 square-foot Adams Pavilion. This created the opportunity to use the Great Hall as a space for dining and socializing.

"The café has been the missing piece in the story of the new Folger experience," explained Chief Financial Officer Ruth Taylor Kidd, who oversaw the project. "Since we reopened the building in June, people have congregated in the Great Hall to work or meet with friends. We love seeing this, and we know the café will enhance how we welcome people to spend time at the Folger."

Quill & Crumb will keep the same hours as the rest of the Folger Shakespeare Library. The café will be open on Tuesday-Sunday beginning at 11:00am. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday, the café will close at 6pm. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday it will stay open until 9pm. On evenings when there are performances in the theatre, the café will stay open through intermission.

Menu highlights include salads, tartines, shareable snacks, wines on draft, seasonal cocktails, and house-made lemonades and iced teas. A few standout items follow.

  • English Waldorf Salad featuring gem lettuce, celery, candied walnuts, Honeycrisp apple, and Stilton with shallot vinaigrette
  • Salmon Gravlax on toasted brioche with herbed chèvre, cucumber, radish
  • A Shareable Personal Picnic with local cheese, Brightwood Bee Ranch honey, fresh berries, candied pecans, and a baguette
  • Pastries like Lavender Blackberry Financiers and Pain Au Chocolat
  • Custom Espresso Drinks featuring house-made syrups, including "Ophelia's Bloom" – espresso with elderflower & lavender syrup and pistachio milk
  • Cadbury Hot Cocoa

Constellation Culinary Group was inspired by the Folger's collection and the works of Shakespeare in creating the menu. The company's portfolio includes a number of restaurants and eateries at cultural institutions in the U.S., including Merriweather Café at Hillwood Estate and Stir Restaurant at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The name Quill & Crumb was the top vote-getter in a crowdsourced project to name the café. The Folger put out a public call asking for ideas for what to name the café early in February and received 1,750 suggestions. Folger staff members narrowed the list and shared five options for the public to vote on. Quill & Crumb was the favorite.
