I never knew that you could eat inside of Tiffany & co but it was such a cool experience. Love the decor & ambiance. The avocado toast and mushroom ravioli were delicious. I gave it a 4 due to small portion sizes and limited vegetarian options, esp for high tea.

Age and I desired cake at the Blue Box Cafe at Tiffany's. There is a regular menu with lots of tasty food to eat both savory and sweet. Here, Afternoon Tea is $98 which was far too expensive for us. We opted for the more reasonable cakes. Age had the Forêt Noire of almond biscuit, cherry jam and chocolate mousse. I chose the Gâteau Arliquin with layers of chocolate, pistachio and vanilla. Each cake was given a mini lit candle for our birthdays. Sayed, our server, took good care of us. The pièce de resistance was the tea - Bellocq Earl Grey Tea......liquid gold. Each swallow was ambrosial. I had four cups. Just being at this cafe on the sixth floor of this celebrated store was magical for its pretty decor and view.

This restaurant is inside 6-level Tiffany's store. The restaurant is beautiful. The ceiling is decorated with hanging Tiffany's boxes of various sizes. The pillows and couches are Tiffany themed and the dinnerware and cups are from Tiffany's as well. The service was perfect. We had a server who was very attentive and constantly checked in on us and our dining experience. She was quick and very friendly. I ordered the tea service and my husband ordered the Volaille Rotie (chicken breast). For my tea, I had the Tiffany's tea. It was very fragrant and had hints of lychee. The food items were all great. I honestly enjoyed the savory items more than the sweet items. My favorites were the quail egg toast, lobster roll, and corned beef, mustard & pickle sandwich. I also had a Blue Cosmo drink. It was good. Tasted exactly like a Cosmopolitan but with blue curaçao. Now the items are overpriced specifically considering the portion sizes. But, you're paying for the Tiffany's aesthetic and brand. Still, it was an expensive meal so if you're planning on going be prepared.

"Afternoon Tea" is a very British activity, but "Breakfast at Tiffany" is decidedly American. In any case, The Blue Box Cafe, inside Tiffany & Co, is a uniquely "campy" environment with blue boxes hanging from the ceiling and Tiffany blue color accents everywhere. We got the tea service for three with the house tea and a glass of excellent Champagne. The tea service has one savory tray and two dessert trays, along with scones. The quality of the food is excellent, as is the service. If this is your "cup of tea"...ha,ha...Tiffany is a good choice. As for me, once is enough for the experience, but I would not be a regular.

I had such a great start to the new year by having breakfast at Tiffany's! I'm a local, so this has been on the bucket list for some time. The cafe is quite small with maybe only 15-20 tables, and a few seats at the bar reserved for walk ins. During the brunch we never felt rushed, and always had people checking in on us. To split between three of us we ordered: Coffee/tea Tea at Tiffany's Carmelized onion burger* Croque a la Truffe Aubergine Confite* I put an asterisk over two items I would definitely order again if I were to go back! The Croque a la truff was very skippable and did not have any truffle flavor. Also if I were to go back I would order the Breakfast at Tiffany's, and add on the scones instead of ordering the Tea at Tiffany's. I felt like the finger sandwiches were much smaller than I've had at other tea experiences and were lacking a bit. The scones were the highlight of the platter, we even ordered extra! Overall, I think it's a fun thing to try at least once while being in nyc!

Would you believe me if I told you that the burger at Blue Box was one of the best in NYC? Yeah, yeah, yeah... the tea service is fantastic and breakfast would be the iconic choice, but get the burger. Seriously. I'm not sure why Blue Box put so much effort into to creating the burger masterpiece, but I'm glad they did. It's not to be missed. Also, the Tiffany blue cosmopolitan is a great cocktail choice.
