  • Tiffany & Co. is making every "Breakfast at Tiffany's" fan's dream come true by opening a new café.
  • The Blue Box Café will have a menu that goes beyond Holly Golightly's favorite pastries.
  • The café also features the famed jeweler's iconic robin's egg blue hue throughout the decor.
  • The café just opened today, so fans can head on over to Tiffany's Fifth Avenue flagship store to check it out. 

It's been 56 years since film-goers were first enchanted by the 1961 film "Breakfast at Tiffany‘s," which opened with Holly Golightly perusing the store's windows while dining on a morning meal of coffee and a danish. The flick has inspired everything from songs to bridal collections since then, and now, Tiffany & Co. is upping the ante with a restaurant that will actually serve breakfast… at Tiffany's!

The famed jewelry company released a statement this morning unveiling a renovation on the fourth floor of its Fifth Avenue flagship location, which will not only include a space for the brand's newly unveiled home and accessories collection (aptly dubbed "Everyday Objects"), but it's first-ever food offering in the form of The Blue Box Café.

"Both the café and redesign of the home and accessories floor reflect a modern luxury experience," said Reed Krakoff, Tiffany's chief artistic officer. "The space is experimental and experiential — a window into the new Tiffany."

Of course, Tiffany's iconic robin's egg blue hue will also have a prominent place in the ambiance, woven into the café's chairs, pillows, plates, salt and pepper shakers, and even walls.

The Blue Box Café will be open for your gastronomic pleasure on November 10 during regular store hours.
