"High above the sales floor on the sixth level of Tiffany & Co.’s flagship, the café caters to shoppers — often tourists and mother-daughter duos — with its Tea at Tiffany’s experience: six tea sandwiches, four pastries, four cookies, scones, jam, double cream, and tea for $98, plus optional Champagne add-ons from $30 to $95. Operating inside a fine jewelry destination means space is tight and every detail — noise, scents, and guest flow — is carefully managed, making service levels paramount because diners are Tiffany clients as well." - Alexis Benveniste
"An upscale café inside the flagship Fifth Avenue store where the Tiffany Blue–hued interior frames a splurge-worthy meal; menu highlights include curated 'Holly’s Favorites' and an Instagram-ready Blue Box Celebration Cake." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.

"This year Boulud’s Dinex group opened the Blue Box Cafe in Tiffany, part of a busy season that also included celebrating 30 years of Restaurant Daniel and partnering with American Express on Centurion NY." - Melissa McCart
"Positioned within Tiffany & Co., the Blue Box Café is being presented as a 'shopping lunch' option — a daytime spot tailored to the retail crowd and part of a broader trend of restaurants catering to daytime shoppers and visitors around Rockefeller Center." - Kathleen Squires
"The revamped Tiffany & Co. flagship store on Fifth Avenue is a fantasy version of New York, with window wraps that make it look like a perpetual pastel spring day, and diamonds glittering in every nook and cranny of the showroom. The crown jewel is the Blue Box Café by Daniel Boulud, a sprawling all-day restaurant on the sixth floor with Tiffany’s signature blue jewelry boxes dangling from the ceiling. Beneath these boxes sit chic elementary schoolers having their first afternoon tea experience, and grown-ups with the money and time to enjoy a bottle of Champagne and a full caviar service at 2pm on a weekday afternoon. This could easily have been an all-looks-no-substance kind of restaurant, but the food is actually worth the effort it takes to get a reservation. Breakfast is served all day, and you can also get afternoon tea or order from an a la carte menu of seasonal French dishes like vichyssoise with caviar, and a croque monsieur with truffles." - Carina Finn
