I visited the Blue Box Cafe with a friend, and I must say, I had a fantastic time. The food and drinks were absolutely perfect. The Blue cocktail was particularly delightful—light, crisp, and chilled to perfection.
The ambiance of the cafe was also charming. I would definitely return just to enjoy their tea experience.
The staff was incredibly welcoming and courteous throughout our visit, from the host to our bartender. We had a few drinks and some light bites, and everything was a delightful surprise.
An unforgettable experience at the Blue Box Café. From the moment we stepped inside, it felt like walking into a scene from a classic New York dream. The elegant Tiffany blue décor, impeccable service, and beautifully presented dishes created a truly special atmosphere.
What made it even more memorable was sharing the experience with my daughter while enjoying brunch in one of the most iconic settings in Manhattan. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, making it far more than just a meal—it was a genuine Tiffany experience.
A must-visit for anyone looking to add a little magic, sophistication, and timeless New York charm to their trip.

My two friends and I had the privilege of having an early dinner at Blue Box Cafe on Sunday, November 16th. I cannot say enough about the service, food and atmosphere. We were greeted warmly to check in and while the wait was a bit beyond our reservation time because it was very crowded, who can complain about sitting on a couch in Tiffany with other diners chatting before our table was ready. Marina, our server, could not have been better! She knew the menu, how the food was prepared and made excellent recommendations regarding our appetizers, wine and entrees! She was the ultimate professional and took the time to take our experience to the next level! She was just wonderful and so pleasant! All of the servers that took care of our table were attentive, professional and friendly. We started with appetizers of Tartine D'avocat, Salade de Saison and Quiche Aux Champignons. All of them were delicious, light and went very well with our entrees. Our entrees were Coquilles Saint-Jacques and two of us had the Cabillaud (and an order of French fries "for the table"). This experience could not have been better in any way! I suggest that you make the time to visit Blue Box Cafe and enjoy the experience as much as my friends and I did. This restaurant is high-end dining in a smaller setting inside Tiffany. I truly cannot wait to go back! Thank you Chef Boulud. You obviously took great time and effort in having a well-trained staff and it shows!
I really love this place. The first time I visited was last year and I had the octopus, which came in a very generous portion. The menu is seasonal, so this time the portions were a bit smaller, but everything was still incredibly scrumptious.
I ordered the scallops, which were excellent—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I also had the same cake as last time, and it was just as good as I remembered.
The restaurant itself is also a great spot for photos, with a very elegant, classy atmosphere. Compared to LV Café, this place feels more affordable and offers better value for the quality you get.
Highly recommended.
I recently had the pleasure of enjoying the afternoon tea experience at the Blue Box Café, and it was truly a memorable and elegant outing. The atmosphere was exactly what you would expect from Tiffany & Co.—refined, stylish, and beautifully designed with the iconic Tiffany blue that creates a sophisticated yet welcoming setting.
During the experience, I ordered the scallops with spinach, which were perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The dish was light yet satisfying and paired wonderfully with the overall afternoon tea service. I also enjoyed a glass of champagne, which added a celebratory touch to the meal and complemented the food nicely.
The service was attentive and professional throughout the visit, making the experience feel relaxed and special. From the presentation of the food to the ambiance of the dining room, everything reflected the level of quality and elegance that Tiffany is known for.
Overall, the afternoon tea at the Blue Box Café was a delightful experience that combines excellent food, beautiful surroundings, and exceptional service. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a refined and memorable dining experience in New York.
