The Blue Box Cafe – South Coast Plaza Costa Mesa Reviews from The Last Year
Great tea !
Was able to book same week via Resy beautiful room excellent service all staff were on their toes! Ordered the Tiffany tea which was great and the scones, tea sandwiches ,and sweets were all delicious. I tried to order a birthday cake slightly inside the 48 hour min and was not accommodated So place your order as soon as you can if you want a cake . They were kind to add a candle and a happy birthday chocolate to our tea service which was much appreciated! I read comments about the lack of bathrooms on that floor just know there are other restrooms on other floors a quick elevator ride if you can’t wait a few minutes. Beware of little girls birthday parties there was a rowdy group of girls that seemed not yet ready for tea at Tiffany’s! If you can get a reservation you will not be disappointed a very memorable experience!
Great coffee, great setting, the compressed towels are amazing
We had coffee at the a blue Box Cafe inside the Tiffany landmark store last week. They have a few types of seating. I think you can make a reservation in advance, but they also have seating on bar stools and a room to the side set with table, which I assume is for walk ins like us. The restaurant is stunning. The hundreds of small blue boxes suspended from the ceiling are incredible. It is light, airy and elegant. It looks like every seat was taken. We ordered two cups of coffee. These were $8.00 each, which is not too expensive considering you are going for the experience. One of the greatest experiences was the presentation of a shallow dish containing two quarter sized objects that looked like alka seltzer tablets, except they are thicker. The server came by and poured a little hot water on each one. They rose up in size to about 1 1/2 inches tall! These are cotton towels, compressed to a tiny shape, expanding to full size when exposed to water. This is cool! The coffee was excellent. It was worth it to have the experience of the Blue Box Cafe. It is up to the standard you would expect from Tiffany. Are there negatives? The service in the side room did not seem to be as attentive as the main room. Although we had these really cool wet towels, there were no napkins provided with our coffee.
Dutchies at the Blue bix
Felt right at home. Very good menu at reado able prices. Three of us had the breakfast and my son had an amazing black Angus hamburger with great fries. Service was impeccable and the (Dutch) manager made an effort to make are stay even more pleasan. Our daughter got an ‘extra’ special egg without the caviar and extra scones where brought to our table. A very nice experience and next time in New York this will be first on our list to do.

Horrible ruined my birthday
Bad place (sorry for my language) but I’m furious. This place was supposed to be the HIGHLIGHT of my NYC birthday trip but it ended up NOT being the highlight. I made a reservation for the DAY OF MY BIRTHDAY and I could not go because they had a private event, they didn’t even remind me or my family so we went there and COULD NOT dine their for my birthday. The attention was horrible firstly we went there to buy my birthday gift then went up and asked to make a reservation. The lady’s looked at me and rudely said that it’s online, didn’t even tell me what website or instruct me how to do it, I find that horrible and not good service, food looked bad and the employed were horrible (sorry for mi language) but I am furious. They ruined my expirience and I’m not a fan of them anymore. So this is my fricking experience and hope everyone else has a better one! I hope people have a better expirience.
HORRIBLE
We had a reservacion today at 10 am to have breakfast with my family. As we arrive they say rudley that we could not dine their because they had an event.Backstory is that we went their Two days prior to personaly make a reservation and they rudley said that we need to make it in the app, we did as said and today to celebrate my daughters birthday they say “there is an error in the app” we rile them to give us a solution and they said to wait 5 HOURS in the store until they can see if they have space!! What a horrible place!! It was my daughters dream and they ruined it up!! RUINED THE EXPIRIENCE.
Disappointment at Tiffany's
Unfortunately it does not live up to Tiffany's fame in terms of elegance, courtesy and quality. A liquid hot chocolate, it was more of a milk with cocoa. The gateau arlequin cake is good; The staff are friendly but elegance is something else; a little improvised, even forgetting the napkin. Excessive price for the service offered.
Happy Anniversary Tea.
Suprise anniversary visit for my partner julie. She loves afternoon tea's And where better than Tiffanys blue box cafe . It was out of this world amazing . The taste buds where tingling with all the lovely treats we had ... it was so fantastic the staff where amazing. We got chatting to 2 lady new yorkers during our tea . Which also made it special . All the need to know things about new york . If your in New York ... The Blue Box is a must do ...Thankyou to all there
Fun time!
Food was is great and the service was perfect. We had a very fun day. One thing that I see people complaining about is the reservation system and they can’t get a table. I couldn’t get a table at all when I put in a table for two, but when I put in a table for three, several reservations popped up for the next few days, it appears to me at least that they have tables for certain amounts of people only and they will not take a reservation for two people and put them at a table for 3 etc which is understandable I was able to treat my niece who works in the city so we were able to use all three seats.
Perfect Sweet 16 Celebration
Celebrated my daughter’s Sweet 16 at Blue Box while in NYC for Spring Break. We had afternoon tea followed by a nice walk in Central Park. The service was impeccable. We enjoyed the mini sandwiches and all of the flavors and the nice fresh colorful salad. As a highlight, we sat 3 tables away from Reese Witherspoon! Would love to come back again soon!
Afternoon tea at Tiffany’s!
We didn’t have reservations, and were added to a waitlist for a table. We scored a table, but was not close enough to make I back in time. We heard to try again around 4pm and got seated immediately at the bar. The afternoon tea service, avocado toast and matcha lattes hit the spot. The tea sandwiches and sweets literally melt in your mouth! The hostess staff and the waitress staff were so helpful and friendly and top notch professional. We felt very taken care of! Highly recommend this stop!

Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |

Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
|
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
|
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
|
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
|
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Money gone
I made two buy listings earlier this morning and then discarded both of them as no longer needed. My refund now disappeared in my account, and I can no longer transfer them back into my bank account. I’ve also made another buy order, and now the system is telling me “Bad Balance Combination”. Called my bank to stop all transaction going to this Pheonix Labs and reported as scam

Idk if this is related to the unsold listing % rule but I have listed 6 reservations and sold 5 of them and my unsold listing percentage is ~45%. For some reason the unsold listings have not been converted into sold ones. Does this happen only after the payment is released following the booking or is it an issue that needs to be addressed?

Give the best answerHonest review of AT and advice to new joiners
Forget trying to snipe reservations online by waking up early and booking top restaurants at Carbone or Tatiana or Cote or 4Charles. After 2.5 months of booking reservations by setting up alarms, waking up early to sell appointments. It’s very hard to cash out on this app. During cash out, you have to pay $5 fee +3% transactions fee and max payout per day is $150.
Advice to new users:
- do not mass book reservations
- fill bids only
- don’t try to book reservations online, you need connections and call the restaurant
After putting in about 40 hours of work, I’ve made about $750 sale on this platform but gotten paid $0. Take this with a grain of salt.

Hello All,
I don’t know what else to do as I can’t transfer my cleared funds to my bank account. Customer support is close to non existing and not helpful. How can we keep selling here if we can’t withdraw what we have worked for. They say I have to wait 180 days. This is ridiculous!

Am confused about the payout restrictions. Have nearly $1k sitting, wanted to withdraw some and am surprised to see I can only withdraw $50. If i have to do this everyday I’ll end up paying over $90 in fees just for withdrawing via ACH which doesn’t make much sense to me. Have opened a ticket regarding this, but any input or advice would be appreciated

Looks like New York passed a bill making it illegal to sell a reservation without the permission of the restaurant. Is this the end of appointment trader?

Has anyone found a way to get a question answered? From what I can tell there is no way to get in touch with anyone that works at/for AT. Other than the occasional admin posting a consultation offer here and there they are non existent. A lot of people have the same issue I have where we cannot cash out earnings. I cannot get my warning medal removed even though I am under the threshold. Sad to say but seems like AT is holding up everyone’s funds currently. Very scary and makes me wonder….Please reply if you read this admins and can help. Tried every way possible to get in touch

I accepted a bid for a popular restaurant in Los Angeles only to receive a phone call shortly thereafter informing me that the reservation had been canceled due to it being listed on AT. I of course need to subsequently cancel the reservation on AT but get this warning that my status will be negatively affected for doing so. I've reached out to customer support about this several times with no response, not sure what to do in this station. Hoping someone can advise.
