Tiffany & Co. just closed its iconic Blue Box Cafe for a year. I ate brunch at the famed restaurant weeks before it shut down — here's what it was like.

I was not shy to hide my excitement. And yes, I wore a black dress and looked at the expensive jewelry tucked behind glass cases, just like Hepburn did in the film with George Pleppard before they settled on engraving a ring from a box of Cracker Jack. I, on the other hand, settled for a buttermilk waffle and black coffee.

Tiffany & Co. is perhaps the most known American luxury jewelry retailer. It became iconic after the 1961 film 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' based on Truman Capote's 1958 novella of the same name. I arrived before my friend and took the elevators up to the fourth floor, where the accessories were sold.As I walked around the"Everyday Objects" area of the fourth floor, I thought of the chaos that followed the cafe's opening. Today, the store was much calmer, which made me think of a piece written in the New Yorker by Hannah Goldfield..

Unlimited coffee is what dreams are made of. Again, the cup went along with the blue-and-white theme of the cafe.Sarah Nehemiah for Business InsiderThe fruit was very fresh. The croissants were a bit messy, but very crunchy. I've had better croissants, but the spreads gave the pastry most of its flavor. My favorite was the honey-butter spread. The croissants also came with a Nutella spread and sour cherry-cranberry jam.

I wasn't going to spend $60 dollars on the Polenta, so the only way I would have been able to try it is if Sarah got it — and, knowing Sarah's love for truffles, she did. It was actually quite good.It only whispers," she said. We ended up staying there for about two hours, and the hosts were really nice. I took my waffle home, and the to-go bag was right on theme.The noise level was decent — we were probably the loudest ones there. The dishes were spaced out fine, and the hosts did not try to rush us as we talked. In the beginning, things appeared to be a bit slow, but that was only because they had just opened up. If anything, my coffee cup was never empty.
