Holly Golightly had to make do with a window, a paper bag and a takeaway coffee. Hongkongers are getting the full table. The Tiffany Blue Box Café Hong Kong opens its newest outpost on 13 June 2026, on the first floor of Tiffany & Co.'s glossy new two-storey boutique at Lee Gardens Three (利園三期) in Causeway Bay (銅鑼灣) — and this one comes with a serious kitchen behind it.
In This Guide
What is the Tiffany Blue Box Café?
The Blue Box Café is Tiffany & Co.'s in-store dining concept, named after the jeweller's instantly recognisable robin's-egg-blue gift box. The Hong Kong version sits on the first floor of the brand's new flagship at Lee Gardens Three, a two-storey boutique that doubles as a retail-and-dining destination in the heart of Causeway Bay's luxury district.
The room leans hard into the brand's signature colour. Above the tables hangs a striking ceiling installation of cascading blue boxes, while the walls carry bespoke art by the American artist Molly Hatch. There is a chic bar and a private dining room that seats up to 10 — so it is built as much for a celebration as for a quick, photogenic afternoon tea.
It is, in short, the kind of opening that sits at the intersection of fashion and food — which is exactly why it belongs on the same shelf as our guides to the best luxury shopping in Hong Kong and the city's best cafés for a slower afternoon.
Who is chef Agustin Balbi?
Here is what sets this café apart from a standard branded photo-op: the food is overseen by Agustin Balbi, the Argentinian chef behind Ando in Central. Ando holds one Michelin star in the 2026 Michelin Guide, and Balbi is one of Hong Kong's most distinctive cooking voices — born in Buenos Aires, trained for years in Japan, and known for a deeply personal style that fuses Spanish, Japanese and Argentine threads.
That pedigree matters. A café menu signed off by a starred chef is a different proposition from the usual luxury-brand tearoom. You can read more about Balbi's main restaurant on its Michelin Guide listing, and find Ando among our roundup of the best Michelin-starred restaurants in Hong Kong.
A note for expectations: this is a café, not a tasting-menu room. Balbi oversees the concept rather than cooking your eggs to order, and the format is all-day café dining, not Ando's intimate counter. Treat the star as a marker of quality and intent, not a promise of fine-dining theatre.
What's on the menu?
The headline act is the signature Breakfast at Tiffany's menu — the brand's nod to the film that made the blue box famous. Beyond that, the kitchen runs an elegant afternoon tea and a spread of all-day mains, with a more indulgent brunch at weekends.
Per Tiffany and early coverage from Time Out Hong Kong, expect dishes such as Spanish red prawn rice, homemade linguine with fresh lobster, and a grilled prime Argentinian Angus beef tenderloin, alongside cocktails and a dessert list designed to be photographed. It is comfort food dressed in couture — premium ingredients, polished plating, no reinvention of the wheel required.
Tiffany Blue Box Café Hong Kong — The Essentials
Note: full menu prices for the Lee Gardens Three café were not published at launch. We have not yet dined here — it opens as this guide goes live — so this is a first-look, not a review.
When does it open, and how do you book?
The café opens to guests on 13 June 2026 and trades daily from 11am to 8pm, public holidays included. Those are generous, all-day hours by Hong Kong café standards, which should help spread demand across breakfast, tea and an early dinner.
Booking is online through Tiffany's official website, where reservation links are already live. As with the brand's other Blue Box Cafés worldwide, walk-ins are possible but a table is far from guaranteed — expect the opening weeks, and weekend brunch in particular, to fill quickly. If you are pulling together a whole day out, our roundup of the new Hong Kong restaurants to try this June pairs neatly with a Causeway Bay afternoon.
Where is Lee Gardens Three, and how do you get there?
Lee Gardens Three sits at 1 Sunning Road, in the Lee Gardens luxury cluster that fans out behind Hysan Place in Causeway Bay. It is one of the more polished corners of an otherwise frenetic shopping district — and an apt home for a Tiffany flagship.
Getting there is simple. From Causeway Bay MTR (銅鑼灣), take Exit F and walk up Yun Ping Road towards Hysan Avenue; the Lee Gardens area is roughly a five-minute stroll. If you are coming by taxi, "Lee Gardens Three, Sunning Road" will get you to the door.

Is it worth the trip?
If you collect a certain kind of Hong Kong experience — design-forward, share-worthy, lightly aspirational — then yes. The pull here is the combination: a head-to-toe Tiffany-blue room, a genuine architectural centrepiece overhead, and a menu with a starred chef's name attached. That is a more credible food story than most fashion-house cafés can claim.
A few honest caveats before you book. This is premium spending, and final prices were not public at launch, so go in clear-eyed on cost. The appeal is as much about the setting and the brand as the cooking, so manage expectations if you are chasing fine-dining substance rather than a beautiful afternoon. And in the opening weeks, patience with crowds and a booked table will serve you better than a hopeful walk-in. Want a quieter, more wallet-friendly cuppa instead?
