CROWN HEIGHTS — Some serious comfort food has moved into the Brooklyn Children’s Museum this week.

Grilled cheese specialists from the Crown Heights-based eatery Morris set up a faux food truck at the Brooklyn Avenue institution over the weekend, serving sandwiches, soups, salads and snacks Tuesday through Sunday, the museum announced Nov. 6.

Morris opened its first brick-and-mortar location on Lincoln Place near Franklin Avenue last winter after several years of serving gourmet grilled cheese from a truck.

Now, a replica of the same Morris truck adorns the wall of the children’s museum, drawn around the service window of the second-floor cafe where customers order their food. The new cafe will also cater kids' birthday parties at the museum, staff said.

But don’t worry, childless food-lovers: the museum says the new Morris cafe is “open to all,” they told Gothamist in a report about the new grilled cheese counter, and “those without kids are absolutely welcome.”

The Brooklyn Children’s Museum is located at 145 Brooklyn Ave. at St. Marks Avenue. The Morris cafe is open during museum hours, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday and until 6 p.m. on Thursdays.
