Not sure why there are so many low reviews but I had an amazing time with my girlfriends this past trip! I love afternoon teas and when I saw the one here, I knew I wanted to check it out! We were able to get resys and one of my friends was gluten free so I noted that in advance. Service was great, the only thing was we had to ask them to refill the hot water a few times. The drinks and food were amazing and the fact that they had an entire gluten free version was chef's kiss! My friend was so happy and had glowing reviews too. The scones were perfect and not too dry. We devoured everything and it was the perfect amount of food honestly. Next time I would probably order one tea set and try their à la carte menu items. But all in all, I would definitely come back! read more

A friend and I were lucky to grab a reservation on a Friday afternoon, even though we reserved in 3 or 4 weeks advance, I would consider it as not bad. We are just excited to dine in Tiffany's! Yipee Food - it is pricy for the portion, but is flavorful. The items on the Tea set was very small and soo much space on the tiers, it would look so much better/nicer if the item portions be more porportional. The taste of the item in the tea set was okay, can't really taste the flavor, but they kept the scones warm which was nice. We also ordered Muchroom Soup and Ham and cheese sandwich. Those were delicious. As for the tea, they come with free hot water refill to the individual kettle. phew!! Service - it was superb! they have so many servers, very attentive, all very approachable and friendly. Even with so many staffing, but you will not feel overwhelm or crowded, their approach was just enough. Ambiance - its Tiffanys!! we arrive 30 minutes early, our table wasn't available, so we walk around the floors - always fun, lots of woo and Ahhs. Did ask if they can give us a windows seat, honored (yipee). LV building at the back, facing tiffanys tiny blue box at the front was just more "ahhs" the restuarant was pretty full, looks tight, but you wont feel overlapping or on top of each other. I am just happy I tried. Even though it is pricy but it is the worth the experience. "Fancy Dining: Tiffany's" checked! read more

Trust Yelp, save yourself - truly an experience to SKIP. Go to the LV cafe instead. We were so excited to finally score a reservation at this famous café but the food quality, service and ambience were truly below par. We should've been grateful that they canceled our reservation a week before we arrived because they had their annual blue ball private event; we were annoyed because they cancelled the reservation so late and we were extra annoyed when we noticed the cafe was actually open for business when we happened to visit the store! Anyhow, eventually they were able to fit us in so we decided to try the famous blue box cafe. There was constant confusion during the entire experience including insisting that we ordered a birthday cake (!! #eyeroll as I tried to tell them we were not celebrating any birthdays and did not order the prepaid cake - and likely it belonged to another table. Very awkward as the couple who actually ordered the celebratory cake looked on) Eventually, our orders were delivered in the afternoon. Tea was surprisingly abysmal. It was presented in the strangest manner with tiny pieces on a gigantic tiered platter normally used for seafood display - see the picture. While I recognize that one attends these type of cafés for the ambience, I was truly shocked at the low quality of food and disorganized service - and the ambiance was just meh. Visit the beautiful store, wander the multiple levels of beautiful baubles but skip the cafe. Go to the LV cafe instead. read more

Went with my girlfriend's for linner. We all decided to get the tea set. I got the child's tea bc I couldn't drink any caffeine due to an exam. Lived the assortment, individually bite sized items. Ambiance was on the 5th floor of the store so before our appointment we walked around. I took some pics of the space. Service was pretty nice. Waitress came by to add hot water to the tea. read more

This was such a magical experience! We arrived about 20 minutes before our reservation time, which gave us some time to shop. Shortly after making our purchase, we received a message that our table was ready. The hostess took our coats and escorted us to our table which overlooked the city. Our waiter promptly took our drink orders and brought us hot towels to wipe our hands with. We then ordered our food -- the ham sandwich and the ravioli. For something so simple, the ham sandwich was flavorful and absolutely delicious. I very much enjoyed it and would gladly order it again. It looks small but I was definitely full after eating it. The ravioli was also good with the right combination of sauce and pasta. The staff did a wonder job of taking care of us and ensuring we had an enjoyable experience. We never felt rushed or judged for taking photos of our experience. Next time I'm in NYC, I'm coming back here to try their high tea! read more

I always am going to afternoon tea and since my friends really wanted to do the breakfast at Tiffany this was a perfect spot for all of us to get what we want. Service was excellent as expected. The food items and tea selections were good. My friends thought their breakfast items were good and a little unusual and interesting. Overall a good value since their price for tea is on par with most other places. To make the experience better I would love to see a better atmosphere and design. read more

One mishap but otherwise a wonderful experience. We couldn't get reservations while we were in NY so we tried to do a walk-in. We got there 30 min before they opened on a Monday morning. We were 2nd in line for a walk-in. They let those with reservations in first then offered us seats either at the bar or at a private room off of the main dining area. It was still nice but we didn't get the full ambience with the decor. We ordered the Tiffany breakfast and Tiffany black tea. The Tiffany breakfast comes with various pastries, a parfait, small scrambled egg with caviar, a carrot/mango/pineapple juice. Everything was very yummy. I especially loved the Tiffany black tea. They gave me a small pot so I was able to enjoy more than one cup. Service was very welcoming. Only issue I had was that I found a small plastic piece in one of my pastries. In terms of service recovery they just offered to replace the pastry and were apologetic. Nothing else. Good thing I caught it before I swallowed the plastic. Would consider coming back only if have reservations. read more

The Tiffany blue box cafe is beautiful, we were super happy to be able to get a reservation. The café is upstairs so we had to go through the lobby and take the elevators. Once we arrived to our reservation, we did have to wait a few minutes before our table was ready. For appetizer, we decided to do the tuna carpaccio, which was very delicious and for entrée we went with the burger with fries. Everything was cooked perfectly and for dessert we did a slice of cake. The staff was great and the food was good, would definitely come back to try their afternoon tea. read more

to me, this is a place one goes for the ambiance, and for that, it serves its purpose. Service- all right; polite; leans hands off outside of taking ordering and serving the tea platter. If going for photos and afternoon tea conversation, that's fine. Food- got the tea at tiffany's and one additional dessert (entremet), shared between two. Plenty of tea. It may not look it, but it is plenty of finger food. The additional dessert almost felt too much. No bad things to say about the finger food/dessert. No great things to say about it either. Tiffany blue boxes hanging from the ceiling is iconic. Not much else otherwise (other than walking through the tiffany store to get to the cafe) if one likes this kind of thing, I'd say it's fair to go at least once. For me, reservation was made 1 week in advance and there were limited availability. So would recommend looking 2-3 weeks ahead. Oh, there is a private one person bathroom x2 right outside the cafe. Pretty! but because of limited availablity, there can be a line. read more

Finally I am able to try this luxury in life that everybody who is into tea, breakfast and Tiffany or the book or the movie about it . The pricing is a bit high but worth the experience especially if going with your ( fancy dreamy) girlfriends. Two of us had the 3 tier Afternoon tea and 2 of us had the 2 tier Breakfast in Tiffany. The 3 tier tower comes with bite size sandwiches on bottom tier , bite size pastries on middle tier and bite size desserts sweets on top tier . A warm basket of sconces and hot tea were served prior serving the tower. Black tea as suggested was picked for the beverage. The 2 tier tower comes with parfait , fruits and carviar soufflé on lower tier and croissant, danish and Madeline on top tier. A mixed fresh fruit juice is included as beverage. We were delighted with the experience. Package serving portion is a bit much for what we could take so we asked to box out the left-overs . Family members at home was able to experience the joy of its goodness. The place is looks so fancy with all of its crafts, displays and decors all over the place. The Tiffany blue highlights at all fascinates us more. A great celebration place. Come visit when in the area but make sure to make a reservation. read more

I was so happy to get a reservation as they are really hard to come by. Blue Box is a cute restaurant with the classic Tiffany blue all over including boxes hanging from the ceiling. I did afternoon tea - it's about $100 but for that price you shouldn't have cold scones. We had to send them back and ask for warm ones. Other than that - it's the typical afternoon tea service with bite size sandwiches and lots of sweets. Would I come back again? Probably not, but I'm glad to have experienced it. read more

My mom and I enjoyed an amazing birthday brunch together at Tiffany's Blue Box Cafe. We were lucky to obtain reservations a month in advance. The service was wonderful! We were seated right away and they made sure to make us feel extra special for our celebration. We enjoyed the Tea at Tiffany's for two, which includes a three tier display of tea sandwiches, pastries, scones, and desserts. Everything was beautifully displayed and yummy! It was such a unique and excellent experience that we will always remember. read more

Have been waiting to try this place for two months. Was fortunate to secure. Table for four the two days we happen to be in town. The venue is a beautiful Tiffany blue filled decor with the iconic Tiffany blue boxes (hundreds) hanging from the ceiling. We decided to try a few things... 1. High tea set for two: served on a three tier silver platter. Bottom platter had finger sandwiches-12 total (lobster roll, quail egg toast, cucumber/dill/cream cheese sandwich, mini smoked salmon bagel, chicken curry sandwich, and corned beef/mustard/pickle sandwich), top & middle platter served pastries and cookies-/ each (chocolate marquise, vanilla Chou caramel, mango basil, noisette petite gateau, madeleine, canele, vanilla and raspberry pound cake). Each order comes with a choice of tea. We ordered the oolong tea and white tea which were both delicious. 2. Egg in a shell: scrambled egg topped with delicious caviar. My favorite! Had this at blue box cafe in Costa Mesa California which used egg soufflé. Honestly the version at cost Mesa was better, both were delicious. Highly recommend. 3. Salade Cesar: grilled chicken sandwich with Parmesan and bacon. Served with a side of g lettuce wedges. Was ok but nothing stellar. 4. Cheeseburger: thick black angus beef patty with cheddar cheese and lettuce. Special blue box cafe branding on brioche bun gave it an elegant detail to the burger. Came with a side of fries. Was good. Overall a fun experience. The food quality was underwhelming. Possible that we didn't have a chance to order the right trace. Wouldn't mind coming back the next time. read more

This room telegraphs 'celebrations' with ladies who lunch bent on savoring the hard to land reservations. Great service, lovely tableware, shiny happy people. Tea @ $100/pp, par for the course -- hot smoky Tiffany tea beautifully presented for those with a small appetite though sandwiches less memorable than the scones and petit fours. Servers oblige with photo taking as we were toasting a landmark birthday. A single toilet means waiting, but it is well appointed. Thank you, Audrey Hepburn! read more

I've been wanting to visit Blue Box for the longest time and finally had the chance last weekend! It was worth the wait! Perfectly whimsical and decadent! The started with complimentary bread, we had tuna tartar for appetizers. We had the salmon with the leek fondue and i still think about it. Absolutely delicious! The drinks were delicious, i had a perfect aperol spritz and my husband had an espresso martini that he is still talking about. My friend had the blue lychee mocktail. It was also her birthday so they brought her a macaron and a cute little postcard. I'd return. The food was delicious, drinks well made and the decor was beautiful.. i wouldn't expect anything less from Tiffany's read more

One of my favorite places to be is at Tiffany's!! I made reservations a month in advance through Resy. I am Gluten Free & they were very accommodating, however the pastries are not GF & cannot be made GF. They do have GF toast, which they brought out for me. I ordered the Gluten Free celebration cake 48 hours in advance via email. (The GF cake only comes in the Chocolate Flavor) My food was great, the chicken was JUICY. My Boyfriend who doesn't really care for chocolate flavored cakes, REALLY enjoyed the celebration cake. It was very yummy!!! 10 out of 10 experience. read more

Tiffany's Blue Box Cafe is a super fun spot! Ever heard of or seen the movie, Breakfast at Tiffany's? This is the spot that you can fulfill that movie idea for yourself. It's a small cafe, so you will need to make a reservation a day or two before your visit. Once inside, the staff is fun and they will help you to decide on what to order. They will ask you about any dietary restrictions too. I ordered one of their sandwiches, which was pressed as a panini, and it included some salad quarters in between (see photos). I also ordered a slice of cake, which was decadent and delicious. I will be going back here again! I enjoyed a little time in NYC at a fun cafe. I've now had Breakfast at Tiffany's (even though it was lunch). ;) read more

It wasn't easy to get a reservation at the Tiffany Blue Box Café--after all, true luxury is never without its hurdles. But, as they say, nothing worth having is ever truly easy. After weeks of anticipation, I finally found myself sitting in the heart of New York City's iconic Tiffany & Co. flagship, sharing a delightful afternoon tea with a couple friends. From the moment I stepped inside, it was clear that this wasn't just about enjoying a meal--it was about experiencing a moment. The atmosphere was calm and undeniably chic. The ceiling, adorned with rows of iconic Tiffany blue boxes, set the perfect backdrop for the afternoon. The atmosphere was refined yet warm and welcoming and I loved the delicate Tiffany China! The food was beautifully prepared with well balanced flavors which paired well with my tea. Hoping for more opportunities to revisit the Blue Box Cafe in the future. read more

I wanted to like it here-I had a friend that's been dying to go to Blue Box since before it closed for renovations. I knew what we were in for-a place that tourists go to, small portions, mediocre food. We had an 11:15 reservation, was sat in about 5-10 minutes. The ceiling is very pretty, the floor is not. I should have taken pics but was lazy. The floor looks like a kid was drawing on it. Anyway. The service was decent-a couple of us ordered a side of eggs-which was $22. I know eggs are expensive right now but that is crazy. Was a very small portion of scrambled eggs. I ordered the avocado toast-it was good but the avocado was just slices -and they were cold. I thought it would be the texture of guac. And at least room Temp. Silly me. One friend ordered something That looked like a croque madame-cut up into thirds. It was tiny. But he said he liked it. One ordered truffle eggs and the other one ordered the croissant with fruits. I'd say don't go here if you're very hungry-it could be ever expensive. The check was a little over $200 for 4 ppl. And we had no dessert, just coffee and tea. read more

surrounded by the iconic tiffany blue shade and gorgeous interior, it's always a beautiful and classy time here. my boyfriend and i started off with a warm towel cleanse, and were introduced to the menu. we got the quiche au vert and salade de saison. i ALWAYS get the quiche because i loveeee the crazy flavour ride i go on - it's my faveeee for tea time. the salad had a great portion size and was fresh. we also got a peach iced tea and a black coffee - both great. we ended our tea time with a strawberry tart - as a sweet treat lover and my bf not being one, we loved how it wasn't too sweet and the fresh fruits were yummy. i absolutely love the service here. everyone is kind and patient. read more

I thanked Alexandra Levy for always being there when I needed a reservation. She never disappoints me and always gives my request. All staff members, Bart and Marina are exceptional. I truly appreciate all of them. I highly recommend this place for everyone!! Be sure to get amazing meals and treats. It's always full of guests.

Came here to celebrate my aunt's 80th birthday. Was able to snag a reservation by putting an alert via Resy app. The restaurant definitely looked different to what it did years ago. Loved the boxes of Tiffany's hanging from the ceiling. We ordered 3 different entrees. The most sizeable one was probably my chicken dish. The pasta was a little bit on the smaller side but nevertheless was still enjoyable. Our waitress was very nice and personable. She seemed to know the menu offerings very well. Overall great place for special occasions and/or take out towners to. Swing by the different floors afterwards and check out all the merchandise afterwards. read more

This is a cute little restaurant but heavily overpriced. It's Tiffanys so I expected that but unless you want to shell out a lot, expect to leave hungry. The cafe is located on the 6th floor all the way at the back after getting off the elevators. It's painted all Tiffany blue colors with little blue boxes hanging from the ceiling as decor. It such a pretty photo op. The menu has some prefix options as well as ala cart items including entrees, desserts, and teas. There were 4 of us and we ordered the Tea at Tiffany's which is $98 per person. This comes with 6 tea sandwiches, 2 scones, 4 pastries, 3 cookies, and 1 choice of tea. Now this all sounds like a lot, but it was by far not! Were were a bit confused at first when they set down the platter because the menu says $98 per person and were worried the bill was going to be $400 for practically nothing. After clarification, we found out it was per order of the tiered tray, not per person. A little relief but still pricey for the portion sizes. everything was so tiny, one bit maybe two at max. We all wanted to share a little so we cut them into even smaller pieces. The tea is such a small pot that really only serves 1-2 so between 4 of us, we got maybe 2-3 sips. The server suggested the Tiffany tea since its their most popular and only sold at that location. It was fine but nothing in that blew us away. We thought about ordering another platter but decided it wasn't worth it. we wouldn't fill up. As for cocktails, the blue cosmo was pretty good. it aas much lighter than a cosmo you'd get anywhere else since it was either white cranberry juice. It tasted more like juice and no boozy hints. The server was nice and friendly but I could tell she and other people in the room (maybe managers) wanted us to leave since we only ordered the 1 platter (again we thought it was a per person not per platter deal). It's a cute experience but don't expect much. read more

Soon as we go there the person who sat us down was not very welcoming seriously face not even a smile. The food was okay, nothing special.

My family decided to come to the Blue Box Cafe to celebrate a birthday and we LOVED it. The staff was welcoming and they have curated the best experience for us to enjoy on this special day. The Breakfast at Tiffany's included a variety of breakfast options and I think it was the best on the menu (especially the Egg in a Shell - with caviar!!!). Don't forget to taste the homemade jam for the croissants because those were sweet & delicate for our palette. All of the food was made fresh and scrumptious to our liking. The Tea at Tiffany's has a lot of options for us to enjoy as well and the small curated pieces of desserts were delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant was top notch with many people celebrating different special occasions. The service was impeccable and we will definitely be coming back for a different special event in the next year. read more
