Ever Want to Actually Have Breakfast at Tiffany’s? Now You Can!

by SharonKurheg

You know the scene – Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the classic film based on the novel by Truman Capote, opens with Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn), nibbling on a pastry and drinking some coffee while peeking into the windows of the Tiffany & Co. It’s early and the store isn’t open yet, so all she can do is gaze longingly at everything.

Since the film’s premiere in 1961, no one’s been able to really eat breakfast at Tiffany’s (I mean, really, they sell jewelry, china, and silver!), but if you’re an Audrey Hepburn fan, get ready to swoon, because now you can!

In 2017, Tiffany & Co. opened an eatery on the fourth floor of their flagship store in New York City called The Blue Box Café.

“The Blue Box Café serves American classics made with the highest quality, regionally sourced ingredients,” the brand said in a statement. “The simple menu—which will change and evolve through the seasons—is a refined take on signature New York dishes, reinvented to be uniquely Tiffany.”

The cafe proved itself to be wildly popular. So much so that it closed for an expansion a few years after its grand opening. Unfortunately, the pandemic hit not long thereafter and between it still being a small space, and the owners deciding to be cautious, the space remained closed for quite some time.

However in April of 2023, Breakfast at Tiffany’s reopened (along with a revamping of the entire Tiffany & Co. store) and has been thrilling guests ever since.

Some of the Blue Box Café’s more recent menu items have included:

It would have been nicer to name the eatery “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” or “Breakfast with Audrey”. Btw, browsing the menu I see the prices match their jewelry…or maybe it’s a NYC thing.
