Croquet Cafe

A few steps from the Parthenon, Lake Watauga, and the Taylor Swift bench is a refreshing new dining experience inside Centennial Park.

Croquet Cafe offers culinary delights rooted in nostalgic, Southern picnic culture, outdoor gathering, and approachable seasonal food. Housed in a historic, mid-century modern building, this former clubhouse for croquet players is now a scenic destination for fresh, locally produced eats and treats — with proceeds helping sustain the beauty of Centennial Park.

Featuring ample indoor seating, covered outdoor tables, and acres of lush lawn just steps away, the Cafe is the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee, a hearty and healthy lunch, or a sweet treat. Whether visiting an exhibit or festival, taking a stroll, or simply enjoying the outdoors, Croquet Cafe makes Centennial Park experiences worth savoring.
