Life in Plastic Is Fantastic at This New Malibu Barbie Cafe in NYC
Because Barbie is everything.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie has been the only thing any of us can talk about. And for good reason. From the superb casting (we’re loving this power duo of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling) and enviable Barbie-core costume design to the memeable character portraits and perpetually on-repeat trailer, I think it’s safe to say we’re all expecting (and seriously hoping for) an iconic summer movie drop when it’s released on July 21, 2023.
While we eagerly await the movie’s debut, a new collab by Bucket Listers and Mattel is thankfully here to hold us over.
The Malibu Barbie Cafe is your real-life chance to step right into Barbie Land. In the kitchen, chef Becky Brown, who you might recognize from Master Chef, is behind the fast casual cafe’s brunch-centric food program. Menu items at The Malibu Barbie Cafe include themed dishes like the Pacific Paradise Rainbow Pancakes, West Coast Wave Wedge Salad, and The Golden Coast CALI-flower Bowl. Drinks-wise, sip on signature cocktails like the Think Pink Margarita or cool off with a Shore Thing Pink Lemonade.
Guests of the ’70s beachside-esque eatery can also snag exclusive Barbie merch and take advantage of cute photo opps—so we recommend wearing your most dreamy pastels. Keep track of announcements via the pop-up’s IG and snag 90-minute table reservations on the website.
The Malibu Barbie Cafe is now open at 19 Fulton Street in The Seaport.
