An American Girl Cafe Birthday Celebration

Have you ever thought of having a birthday party at American Girl Cafe? Emily has loved American Girl Brand since she was a tiny little toddler. Even before she was born my hubby’s mom bought her Emily, her first American Girl doll. Her first birthday celebration at American Girl Cafe took place when she turned three years old. It has pretty much been a family tradition to take Emily to American Girl Cafe on 5th Ave in NYC every year for her birthday brunch. So far we have kept up the tradition for her 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and recently 9th birthday. 

The breakfast, lunch and dinner are all price fixed so you can plan before you even go on how much the dining will run you. If you add a “celebration” to your meal you have to do that ahead of time to be sure a cake is available the day of your visit. If you are curious, the breakfast, lunch or dinner birthday is fixed at $28 per adult and $38 per child. It includes treats brought to the table, you choice of dining entree, and the birthday cake later served with an ice cream side. The experience is wonderful and the food choices are delicious.

If you decide on the birthday package your birthday girl will be presented with a special, “I’m celebrating” tiara along with one for any of her dollies she brings along to celebrate. This year Emily had three with her, Emmy (one of her original Bitty Babies), Emily, and her latest addition Grace. Each one of the doll guests had their own booster seat so they could easily reach their pint sized plate and cup. If you do not bring along a doll, they have plenty to choose from right in the cafe that are on loaner for your dining experience. So adorable! 

As for the dining choices- many of them are named after the American Girl dolls. They have heart shaped pancakes, flowered shaped sandwiches, and heart and flowered shaped fruit kabobs! It’s a little girl’s dream come true. The dessert ice cream is served in a tiny plant pot and adorned by a take home daisy. The dinner napkins also have a take home pink bow hair ribbon. There is so much dedication to detail that will make the celebration something you will want to do over and over again. Did I mention they serve pink lemonade? Of course they do!
