Reviews The Blue Box Cafe

What an experience! I went on a trip with a few days notice to NY and obviously when I looked to make a reservation there wasn't any space, even so my hotel was near Tiffany and in my curiosity to try some of their desserts I decided to ask if there were orders to go, kindly all of the team (guards and vendors) told me they had no idea but that if I wanted to go upstairs and ask there wasn't problem and here is a tip: if you don't have a reservation you can find a space in the afternoon at the bar, the experience is the same (and I would even say more personalized) the bartender served me and was always very friendly and super helpful (my congratulations for having him on your team). The dessert and the coffee: delicious! I didn't expect more, to talk about the service and quality they have, the prices were perfect for me (I have paid more for horrible, flavorless coffees) incredible experience!

We came in on a Saturday afternoon, to celebrate our friends graduation. We were served by Cedric, who took the best care of us! He made us feel very comfortable, explained the whole menu to us, didn’t rush us at all, kept entertaining us and even provided us with complimentary champagne and desserts to celebrate our friends big achievement! We had the most amazing time, the cafe is gorgeous, the servers are lovely, the food was of great quality and we will definitely be coming back! Thank you Cedric, you made our experience even BETTER!

Went for the afternoon tea service. The location is beautiful as you’d expect and the service was astounding as well. I wish they maybe had one more savory sandwich and one less sweet item. Helps balance it out. They brought a nice cherry cake for my birthday which was very nice of them to have that. Overall the experience was wonderful. And the Tiffany store itself is amazing. Walking down from the cafe on the 6th floor it’s impossible to not stop and admire everything.

We dined at the cafe - dinner and breakfast. We were pleasantly surprised by the food. We had scallops and halibut for dinner and they were well cooked and fresh. Scallops were well seared. Fries was alright, just normal fries. Wished they had something more interesting done with the fries. We also tried Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Tea at Tiffany’s. I personally preferred Tea. It’s pricier but there is a good balance of sweet and savory. My favourite in the “platter” was the scone! They came in blueberry and cranberry (I think it was cranberry). They were so good. I would visit the cafe just to have scones for takeaway if they do that. We also had Tiffany tea that came with it. Light and subtle which was what I like. Tip: if you don’t like any item or have any allergies, you can switch them out. Ask the server :) Breakfast at Tiffany was alright. The name of the menu item is iconic and it does come with caviar. Other than that, I wouldn’t get that again. Not that it was not tasty, it just isn’t something I liked. Also, shoutout to Marina. She was our server for the first visit and her service was amazing. Service in the cafe was good, every server is attentive - ie. My little one dropped her toy, they picked it up immediately and our water cup was never empty. The other reviews mentioning the restroom are true, it is very troublesome. Try asking the staff at the lift lobby about getting to another floor for the restroom. Everyone was really helpful. To families with babies, they do have a changing pad in the restroom.

On July 4, I managed to secure a reservation at the Blue Box Cafe situated within Tiffany. Curated by renowned chefs Daniel Boulud and Raphaelle Bergeo, the cafe offers an exquisite breakfast and afternoon tea experience. Set on the sixth floor, the ambiance is dominated by Tiffany blue, the brand's iconic hue. Notably, the ceiling is adorned with the emblematic Tiffany blue boxes. Upon arrival, we received a warm welcome and were promptly seated. We began our experience with champagne and chose the "Tea at Tiffany's" offering. We selected green tea to accompany our meal. Our afternoon tea included an array of tea sandwiches, cookies, pastries, and a scone, all elegantly displayed on a traditional three-tiered cake stand. As I reconnected with my dear friend, whom I hadn't seen in some time, our conversation flowed effortlessly amidst the delightful bites. Every dish was scrumptious, but the pastries stood out with their intricate and appealing design — they were almost too beautiful to consume. Our delightful afternoon concluded with more champagne and tea. Afterward, we leisurely perused the latest Tiffany collections. Truly, it was a memorable and satisfying afternoon.

After walking around 5th Ave all morning it was about time for a good coffee. It’s hard to find a coffee place around that area. Lot of retail shops everywhere. My friend booked a reservation (I don’t know how he did it) at that place. It was really cool. The vibe was there, the crew was kind, the coffee was good but the small bites that we tried were better. But pricey. I started with a cappuccino and I had a bite of all the small plates we ordered. Egg in a shell, salmon balik, fletan, coquille st Jacques and the homard au bleu. All plates were delicious! Full of flavors, aroma, colors and freshness. The ambiance is full of the characteristic Tiffany blue color and there are small square Tiffany blue boxes hanging from the sealing. It was a great overall experience.

We had an absolutely lovely time here. I was able to find a reservation 2 days prior randomly! Our server Marina was just beyond- she was so nice, kind, always smiling, so helpful, really went above and beyond and made us feel so comfortable even with silly requests and took great pictures of us. The celebration cake is something to comment on- the small size $65 option is tiny- and it was covered In white glaze with thin blue decorations, and had more mousse than cake. It was very tasty. But the one everyone posts pictures of, the classic Tiffany box, that must be the large size at about $100. I wish I knew this, I would have ordered the larger size. All the servers and staff were excellent. The Tiffany tea was a nice flavor. The scones were heavenly and they will replenish them on request. The sandwich and small desserts were okay, there were very few options to choose from. Overall was a lovely experience, I wish there was more availability as it’s a great place to go with your girlfriends.

My friends and I came here after weeks of trying to get a reservation on Resy. It was a group of 5 of us and they sat us at a comfortable round table in the middle of the cafe. The space was beautiful and tastefully decorated (I guess you shouldn’t expect anything less from a Tiffany’s!). We had been told to set our expectations low on the food before coming here and we were pleasantly surprised so it’s probably worth going in thinking that the food is going to be ok and that you’re really paying for the ambience and the experience. Our waiter was very nice and was extremely patient with all of our questions. He told us we could share the sets so we ended up ordering a tea for everyone, three desserts, and a breakfast at Tiffany’s set which was enough food for all of us to share. We ordered the strawberry shortcake, the fig & speculoos, and the tarte aux prunes. The table favorite was the strawberry shortcake but my favorite was the tarte aux prunes. The desserts were beautiful and I thought quite good.

I came here the day of my birthday (June 30th), but they were closed as the night before there was a small fire. However, I returned back the day after in hopes of being able to score a table (which was a Saturday). Employees were very skeptical of me getting the table but let me go inside to speak to a manager. After explaining I came from Toronto for this special experience, the very kind managed got me a table with just a 30 minute wait. This was the most memorable brunch of my life! Daniel Boulud is so talented and the food was exquisite. You must check out this stunning restaurant inside of Tiffany & Co, there’s multiple levels to explore before or after you eat. Don’t miss out.
