Welcome to est. 1927 by Marigold! 

The Speed Art Museum is now the setting of a new in-house culinary gem. est. 1927 by Marigold is now open and offering elevated comfort food for its guests, University of Louisville students, faculty, and staff, and those simply yearning for a new food experience in Old Louisville.

The café’s name is a nod to the Museum’s opening date and its integral relationship to Louisville, the Commonwealth, and the world. The new cafe will be operated by Adrienne and Kris Cole, the husband-and-wife team behind Marigold Catering Co. and the House of Marigold restaurant on Shelbyville Road in Louisville, KY. Kris will serve as the restaurant’s culinary director and chef while Adrienne will oversee all front-of-house operations. The Company is also the Museum’s exclusive catering partner.

As the Speed’s exclusive event caterer, est. 1927 by Marigold will oversee weddings and other private events, as well as the annual Speed Art Museum Ball. In this 46-seat café, guests can enjoy their meals and drinks at beautifully set tables and comfortable banquettes. A kid-friendly menu and online ordering is also available. Hours of operation will closely mirror Museum hours and will be staffed by four full-time employees.
