You Can Actually Have Breakfast At Tiffany's. Here's What's On The Menu

The opening scene of the 1961 film, "Breakfast at Tiffany's" casts its spell–the soft strains of Moon River begin as Holly, embodied by Audrey Hepburn, wanders at dawn on a still Fifth Avenue. Dressed in her signature black dress and pearls, she munches on a croissant, coffee in hand, lost in a world of her own outside Tiffany's gleaming windows. While Holly imbues even the simplest breakfast of croissant and coffee with elegance as she strolls outside Tiffany's, today you can actually enjoy a full breakfast, lunch, or tea inside the legendary Tiffany & Co. flagship in Manhattan.

Originally opened in 2017 and now returning after a four-year hiatus, the freshly renovated Blue Box Cafe, helmed by Michelin-starred chef Daniel Boulud, reopened at the luxury jeweler, Tiffany & Co's Fifth Avenue flagship in May 2023. This Tiffany-blue dreamscape immerses visitors in the shade of the brand's iconic hue, with Tiffany blue-painted walls, chairs, and booths. The decor features large, hand-painted earthenware plates on the walls, inspired by Tiffany's archival brooches, while hundreds of Tiffany's gift boxes float overhead, inviting guests into an enchanting blue dreamland. Boulud's menu extends this refined elegance, offering a French-inspired gourmet experience to match the setting.

Breakfast, lunch, and tea at Tiffany's

Of course, let's start with breakfast at Tiffany's. Rather than offering à la carte options, the breakfast menu serves two prix fixe selections: "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "Holly's Favorites," priced at $65 and $34 per person, respectively. Inspired by the film, Holly's Favorites includes a croissant with jam and a choice of coffee, hot chocolate, juice, or tea. The Breakfast at Tiffany's option is presented on a single-tier silver tray featuring seven delights: a plain croissant, madeleine, oranais, parfait chocolat & banane, pineapple rosace, Boulud's signature caviar-topped scrambled egg in a shell, and a choice of "Golightly" freshly pressed juices. Boulud offers a picture-perfect breakfast experience that's pure opulence. With an array of delicate pastries and sweets, you're treated like royalty, free to savor every bite and truly indulge in whatever your heart desires for breakfast!

The afternoon tea experience, priced at $98 per person, offers a traditional three-tiered stand brimming with an assortment of sandwiches and sweets, accompanied by a pot of freshly brewed tea with the option to add a glass of champagne. The seasonal lunch menu presents simple yet refined options like seasonal salads, French classics such as filet mignon, as well as a selection of seafood, including salmon, lobster, and scallops.

Heads up–this isn't your average brunch bill. But let's be real: this is Tiffany's on Fifth Avenue, not your corner café. Here, you're treating yourself to a little slice of luxury, wrapped up in that iconic blue shade. Feel like splurge a little? Then go ahead–it's not every day you dine like Audrey!
