LOS ANGELES (CNS) – The Los Angeles County Museum of Art announced Tuesday it is partnering with upscale grocer Erewhon to open a new café at the museum.
Erewhon at LACMA is set to debut Sunday for members attending previews of the David Geffen Galleries and will open to the general public May 4, according to museum officials.
The café will operate through the summer.
Officials said the offering will include Erewhon’s signature organic coffee and matcha, fresh pastries, smoothies, cold-pressed juices and a selection of grab-and-go meals and snacks.
Located in the northeast pavilion on the W.M. Keck Plaza, the café will feature indoor and outdoor seating overlooking Alexander Calder’s fountain, Three Quintains (Hello Girls).
“We are excited to launch Erewhon at LACMA for the opening season of the David Geffen Galleries,” Michael Govan, the museum’s CEO and Wallis Annenberg director, said in a statement. “Erewhon is a Los Angeles icon that values creativity and wellbeing and is dedicated to its communities.”
Erewhon executives called the collaboration the company’s first partnership with a museum.
“It really feels like a celebration of Los Angeles, bringing Erewhon and LACMA together to nourish and inspire the community we love,” said Tony Antoci, CEO and owner of Erewhon, and Josephine Antoci, the company’s president.
Two additional dining concepts, including a restaurant and wine bar, are expected to open at LACMA later this year.
Erewhon, founded in 1968, operates 11 locations across Southern California and is known for its focus on organic and ethically sourced foods.
