Adults can even order a mimosa or a glass of wine, if need be. They were also very careful to ask about food allergies when I made the reservation, which I appreciated.

We had a proper tea set with peanut-free, kid-oriented sandwiches and desserts. They have loaners available at the cafe for those girls who forget or don’t have dolls.īut here’s the thing, almost every little girl in the cafe already had a doll that looked exactly like them and a lot were even wearing matching outfits. When we were seated at our table, the new doll, Dora, was given her own high chair and tea set. Tea is from 4:00-5:00pm, though you may book for lunch or dinner too. New York’s American Girl Cafe on the 3rd floor is decorated entirely in black and white with hot pink highlights. We did not have time to have the doll’s hair done, but this blows me away every time I see it. I’m just hoping she doesn’t have buyers remorse somewhere down the line. Needless to say my cousins and sister-in-law, who were joining us in the cafe for tea, also found this funny. We have the same skin tone and everything. Instead, $108 later and after serious negotiations, we walked out with the doll below… Online, La Jolla Girl decided she wanted a little strawberry blonde, blue-eyed girl just like her. We walked over to the build-your-own doll section where almost every color of hair, skin and eye combination is available. Expensive dolls, clothing, furniture and more is for sale everywhere you turn. My daughter was literally shivering with joy. I made the reservation for tea anyway.Īmerican Girl Place NYC is enormous and quite a scene. When it was time to checkout, the grand total was $357, due to some $107 bathrobe and a few other upgrades she had declared necessary. Just for fun, my daughter sat on my lap and we built a doll for her together. I went to the American Girl Place website to make a reservation for tea at their flagship store on 5th Avenue in New York City.
