A pink spell overtook the West loop neighborhood in Chicago in June when the Barbie Malibu cafe opened its doors to the public, welcoming all age groups to this cafe of dreams.

The Barbie cafe in Chicago opened in June and will be around until mid September. Barbie-themed cafes have been popping up all over the United States recently to coincide and excite fans for the new “Barbie” movie starring Margot Robbie. The cafe is set up to look like an entire Barbie world inside, pink everywhere.

The Barbie Malibu cafe in Chicago is a cute, casual dining experience with many photo opportunities.

The environment of the cafe is one in a million. There will never be another restaurant that is so colorful and full of Barbie slogans and signs. Guests are immediately greeted by the bright pink walls and Malibu palm trees as they enter the door. As patrons move through the cafe, they will find booths that are Barbie decorated with pink decor and Barbie slogans. The cafe is perfect for photos. Additionally, once guests finish with all the photo opportunities there is an outdoor roller skating rink to explore. Powder pink and blue skates are provided free for any guests who want to enhance their dining experience by roller skating.

A pop-up Barbie cafe in the city will attract large crowds; However, long lines and waiting times are not a problem because everyone must have a reservation. Guests are guaranteed a table or a bar seat when they book online for the cafe. Walk-ins are not taken, so there are no worries about waiting for an extended period of time to enjoy the cafe.

Not only does the cafe have an amusing environment, but the food and drink choices are creative and surprisingly tasty. The menu consists of fun, Barbie alcoholic beverages for those over 21, but also delightful non-alcoholic beverages. Some of the standouts are the Live your dream grilled cheese that has perfectly crisp sourdough bread and the Beach Burger with a special burger sauce. There is a kid menu and an adult menu, so the cafe is truly for anyone. Sides are included with the entree choice; there is no up charge.

The Barbie Malibu Cafe in Chicago is a charming dining and activity experience. The environment is perfectly decorated to be just like Barbie, there is no wait time due to reservations and the food and drinks are delicious and cutesy.

Grab a reservation and head down to the Malibu Barbie Cafe in Chicago to live life just like a Barbie.
