The Blue Box Cafe – 5th Ave New York Reviews from The Last Year
Dining at Tiffany's was a cool experience and fun to say we
Dining at Tiffany's was a cool experience and fun to say we did, but unless I was bringing someone here, I wouldn't go back. Our server was well-intentioned and kind but didn't check on us very often, brought out the wrong wine, and forgot to bring us the fries we ordered. We also were charged for still water ($10/bottle) when my friend asked for tap. I left still feeling hungry which is ridiculous when I spent nearly $70 on my quiche, wine, water, tip and tax. The quiche was good and my friends ordered the ham and cheese sandwiches and enjoyed them. The curated sets of items, like the tea party, seem to be a better deal, despite being expensive. I would only recommend this spot to someone who loves Tiffany's, otherwise, I feel like you can find a better tea party in Manhattan. Be sure to check out the art gallery on the 9th floor!
Extremely disappointing
I brought my niece for part of her 13th birthday nyc trip. We have been so excited to eat at Tiffany's. Fought so hard to get a reservation--- such a let down. Food was awful. Bland. Hard dry bread. Don't waste your time. One and done for us.
Such an amazing experience every time !! I either get a
Such an amazing experience every time !! I either get a reservation or sit at the bar every time I come to NYC. Only reason I come back to the city. I wish they had one in Tampa FL. Being a Tiffany girl I wouldn't spend my time anywhere else but at the blue box cafe
Nice place
The Blue Box Cafe is amazing. The food was well presented and delicious. The coffee was great too. Very nice place to dine.
Fantastic!!!
Fantastic!!! The sandwiches and waffles are amazing!!! The food is excellent. Very delicious meal. The teas and coffees are good too.
Disappointing
I was excited for this experience but was disappointed. I expected this to be amazing especially since Daniel Boulod is part of this cafe. We ordered the Tea and it looked great on the menu. The sandwiches were fine. My favorite was the small bagel with salmon. The lobster roll was dry. The scones were served warm but were dry as well. I doused them with cream and jam. The small desserts were clearly left out for quite some time. They were not fresh so I did not eat them. Save the money and go for a proper tea at the Russian Tea Room.
I was super excited to try this place because I heard so
I was super excited to try this place because I heard so much about the pastries and the breakfast. However, I was disappointed by the service and the quality of the food. Service: We were seated and waited about 10 minutes before someone asked if we wanted water. After we received water, we waited another 10 minutes for a menu. The menu was given but nothing was explained to us. We saw waiters explaining menus to tables around us and checking in on other tables. We then waited another 15 minutes before they took our order. Throughout the meal no one checked in on us so we had no water. We were poured water when we asked for the check. I expected more from the service especially since we were sitting right next to where they had a station where they were grabbing utensils and water for other tables. Food: I think the best part were the pastries. They had a great assortment of them and they tasted fresh. The sandwiches tasted stale and had little to no flavor. The tea was very good. I would go back just for the tea. Overall, we were disappointed with the experience but appreciated the decorations.
Had to stay up until midnight to get this disappointing
Had to stay up until midnight to get this disappointing reservation. Waiters bussing tables-took forever to put in our order. Manager came over and I asked how much a bottle of rose they served by the glass would be. She said they only serve the bottles on the bottle list. Very disappointed Daniel Boulud.
What a cute and somewhat elegant restaurant.
I mean it is in Tiffanys! The decorations they have here with the Tiffanys boxes hanging is awesome. I would come here to try their teas and treats they have for their tea time menu. I came here for dinner with my friend for a girls night dinner. We both had a glass of champagne that was very good. She had a rose kind and I had a regular glass of it. For dinner my friend had the frittata and I had the avocado toast. Mine looked like a piece of art. Beautiful presentation. And my friend's dish had what I thought was a piece of cauliflower but really it was a cheese flower. They served us little rolls before our dinner came. We were too full for dessert but everything looked delicious. Our waitress was nice and took my food allergies very seriously which I was happy to see. The space is very bright and its not as big as I thought. The prices here are yes a bit high for the portions but then again I mean you are in one of the high end jewelry stores in Manhattan! So what do you expect. But do be aware that if you have a 6:30pm reservation you will possibly feel a bit rushed as the store itself closes at 7(one night) and all other nights at 8 so the restaurant needs to close then too. Overall, a nice experience and hope to be back one day again.
What an experience ! Breakfast at Tiffany's
Wow!!! This was one of the highlights on our trip to NY. I tried to book a table before we came with no luck so we decided to try and queue on the day. Arrived at 9.30 half hr before opening and luckily got sat at the bar. Yes it is expensive for what you get but so worth it for the experience. All the food we had was lovely, we took our time and enjoyed the experience. Our 13yr old daughter even enjoyed it. Staff were friendly and accommodating, did feel a little rushed at times but have since been told that is to be expected in the USA I would definitely return if i was ever fortunate enough to have that experience again!
We went to dinner at the blue box.
For my daughter's birthday. As it was a Friday and it was her exact birthday. She opted to have dinner instead of breakfast. At the entrance we were greeted and asked if we were going to the cafe since it was already 6pm. We were directed to the elevators. The sales associates and security greeted us with a smiled and made us feel comfortable. The hostess was very nice and polite as we waited for an additional person. Repeatedly ask us if we wanted to sit as our table was prepare for us. I asked for coat check and she took our coats. As we sat our waiter was attentive informative and polite . He made us feel comfortable. All the staff were polite and courteous. From the bus boys to the food servers. We were treated like doted queens. We had amazing time. The food is exquisite as the flavors are not bland but not over powering. The deserts are even better. We regret not coming for breakfast. As he inform us of the different teas and pastries. Enticing my daughter and I. to come back for breakfast. When we had our pastries he remembered that I stated that it was my daughter's birthday so he arrange her desert with a candle and a chocolate label saying happy birthday. Making an overall a wonderful birthday evening.
This was a true experience! One of the staff at the store
This was a true experience! One of the staff at the store told me to be prepared to eat somewhere else afterwards. However, I loved the food, and the Holly Golightly drink! The service was impeccable and the ambience stellar, true Truman Capote-ish! I felt like a swan if you know you know.
What a delicious breakfast and tea experience! Everything
What a delicious breakfast and tea experience! Everything was amazing. The service was fantastic. We sat at the bar and Nico took great care of us - he's the best!!!
I took my fiancé to the Blue Box Cafe as a surprise.
I had heard her talk about the movie breakfast at Tiffany's before, and thought this might be a cool experience. I was right to say the least. Walking through the doors of the Tiffany & Co. store and seeing all of the beautiful jewelry sets the stage for the iconic breakfast experience. Once you actually get to the cafe and order you have multiple options, I personally went with the tea at Tiffany's which included a number of small sandwiches and little pastries as well as your choice of tea. Although the tea at Tiffany's isn't cheap, it was worth every penny in my opinion. Every sandwich, pastry, and cookie we tried was phenomenal and with a breakfast like this you're paying for the pampered experience as much as you are the actual food and tea. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the entire dining experience made me feel like a bougee king. If you're in NYC and have the money for it, I'd highly recommend! I hope I have a daughter one day because this might have to be our monthly tea party!

Late Lunch at Tiffany's
Having tried unsuccessfully to book a table here on previous visits to NYC (from the UK), we finally got a table prior to our next trip. It was at 4:30pm on a Friday. We arrived at Tiffany's and got the lift up to the 6th floor around 10 minutes before our 4:30pm slot. We waited 10/15 minutes before being seated and brought menus. There's an all day breakfast menu, a seasonal a la carte menu, the Afternoon Tea and desserts. Having seen that the Afternoon Tea was $98pp (c.£78.50pp), we chose off the seasonal a la carte menu. The hamburger and fries were excellent as was the Croque Aux Truffes. We also shared a dessert ($18 !?). We were also presented with a birthday macaron. Service was excellent, the cafe area beautiful and food excellent if pricey. For a one off treat it's an excellent choice. Iconic.
Lovely experience
The food and service was excellent, though we did leave hungry so don’t expect a tonne of food. The fruit bowl was beautifully presented and was the best fruit I have ever tasted in my entire life. Well, apart from the Asian pear I had from Lincoln Market in Greenpoint ;-)
Lovely treat but check menu before you go
We enjoyed this experience but please don't go expecting it to like the London Savoy or Ritz - it does say it's a cafe. That said the waiters were especially attentive - leaning down to take orders so you don't need to shout, filling glasses etc but giving you plenty of space to enjoy and not hassling you to hurry. We booked online that morning which worked well. Check out the menu before you go. They do all day breakfast (obviously!) and afternoon tea but at over $90 a person I thought it seemed very expensive especially when I saw what others were presented with for that money. We opted for the burger and fries at $32 each and it was very good and plenty of food for us. After the food I decided to try a pot of the 'Tiffany tea' for $8 which I really enjoyed. Overall a lovely treat and way to feel special.
Breakfast treat
Lovely treat. Breakfast was really tasty. Disappointed that it's not served with tea or coffee (extra charge for this) and at $59 per person plus taxes and tip it should be included. However, the service from all staff we encountered was first class and we had a lovely time. Thank you.
Wonderful experience.
I had seen some reviews so was apprehensive. However, we had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday. My daughter and I each had the tea presentation and it was excellent. We love traditional teas and this did not disappoint.Service was fine. It is expensive but we really enjoyed it. I think the decor was not up to the food as it sort of did look like a diner, but it made no difference to the overall experience. I will also add that everyone we encountered at Tiffany's was also very friendly and helpful.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Any seller support?
Has anyone found a way to get a question answered? From what I can tell there is no way to get in touch with anyone that works at/for AT. Other than the occasional admin posting a consultation offer here and there they are non existent. A lot of people have the same issue I have where we cannot cash out earnings. I cannot get my warning medal removed even though I am under the threshold. Sad to say but seems like AT is holding up everyone’s funds currently. Very scary and makes me wonder….Please reply if you read this admins and can help. Tried every way possible to get in touch

I have a prepaid reservation, but I'm allowed to transfer that reservation to others for a price that I set (up to the total price I paid).
For selling POSTPAID reservations, do I charge the buyer the full amount of the reservation when transferring? And then the buyer pays something on top of that (which is what is listed in the AppointmentTrader listing?)
Major Issue for Seller

Being able to access earned revenue is critical and not getting any reply is very concerning for your sellers. Lot of other people having the same issue. Once below the threshold you should auto remove the warning medals.

Give the best answerWell through rate holding money for 180 days
Just wanted to put this out there as I find it quite weird. AT will hold money if your sell through rate is to low. I find this strange as you would think that sell through rate should reflect more on AT not marketing their site well enough to generate sales. It seems weird to punish sellers for listings not selling.
