Today, my daughter and I went to the Malibu Barbie Cafe event in Wynwood with friends and had a great time. They did a good job of creating the perfect Barbie vibe. Good photo opportunities everywhere you turned. I loved watching my grown daughter roller skating in the skating ring! She was able to pull it off without falling! The food was good for this type of event. We had the cheeseburger with fries, a salad, and cheese quesadillas. No complaints. We also ordered the Think Pink Margaritas, which were good also! We arrived when the sun was out and left when it was dark. There weren't a lot of people today, so we got to experience more exhibits. We parked on the street close by. This was a great family type of event! read more

Great place for pictures, but the food and the service is not it. We'll get into that later. I was disappointed, especially because I've seen so many ads for this cafe. That's another thing, it's not the same cafe that they show in the ads. It's much smaller and not as nice. It's a little bit on the pricier side too. I paid about $160 for 3 entrees, and 3 cake pops. If you order drinks or appetizers, it's an additional charge. There's also a $1 fee if you want to skate and an automatic $6 charge per person for gratuity. The food and service. There's a host stand right next to the door where you scan in your ticket. They call everyone Barbie or Ken, and they go by that too. The host Barbies were nice, they walked us to our table. The waitress Barbie was not as attentive as I would've liked. I had to call her or make eye contact in order for her to come take our order or to ask for additional items. We ordered the Surf's Up Spinach Artichoke Dip, Make Waves Avocado Toast, Beach Burger, and Think Pink Margarita. Do not order the Dip. Our waitress said that it was the most popular app, but it's not worth it. The chips were too greasy, and the dip was hard and comes in a tin.. The avocado toast was okay, it came with too much arugula. I took out most of it. My brother said the burger was good. The margaritas were probably the best part. The salty rim contrasted the sweet taste. The cake pops were dessert. They were okay too, nothing special. To wrap up, if you want to take cute pics and can afford it, then do it. You'll have fun! Can be good for an occasion. The ambience is great because everyone dresses to go with the Barbie theme. I loved looking around and seeing little girls excited and happy! Best part for me was learning how to roller blade. read more

We were really looking forward to our reservation at the Malibu Barbie Cafe but we were really disappointed with the service and the experience. The space is nice and good for pictures but really there is nothing else to do. Food is just ok if you are lucky and they get your order right, the vibe of the place is weird like they are not ready to handle the crowd or to give you a real barbie experience. Other thing we really didn't like was the location, the area of Wynwood where is located is not the best and is really not appropriate for kids. The girls were really hoping to skate and they suddenly close the rink (hours before the closing time). The Barbie store was also a low you can barely see the items behind the bar, we expected a much bigger store and where the girls could see the items and interact with the merchandise. Overall we don't recommend it! read more

The restaurant was really cute and small. I was told it was a pop up spot and they can be really fun but this one wasn't it for me. The food and drinks were so over priced. They didn't have a big selection we left hungry. The service was okay. There was an extra fee to reserve a table and eat there on top of your bill. Definitely not worth the money way over priced and to top it off it wasn't even good I personally don't recommend. Don't waist your money or time go somewhere else. read more

Probably a 3.5... let's be real - you're paying for the fun photo ops and experience here. It's like when you visit photo museums like the museum of ice cream or candytopia, etc. It just so happened that the Malibu Barbie Cafe was in the area while I was on my bachelorette trip to Miami. I loved the Barbie movie and had originally wanted a barbie themed bachelorette so it worked out perfectly! We booked tickets online for our group of 10. You can only book a table for up to 6 people so we had to do 2 reservations of 5. Luckily, we were able to be seated next to each other, even though we weren't allowed to move the tables together. You order your entree + cake pop online ahead of time. Then you can choose your sides and order drinks, appetizers, and additional desserts when you get there. For our group of 10 (2 reservations of 5), we prepaid about $50 per person. It is quite a steep price if you're only thinking of the food, especially since the options are things like burgers, avocado toast, cauliflower salad, and grilled cheese. And overall, the food is pretty mid - nothing spectacular. Nothing that you couldn't make yourself or buy at a local applebee's tbh. Even the drinks, while they were pretty, weren't amazing. But again, what you're really paying for here is the experience and photo ops. And there were many photo ops. Definitely a fun and cute place to really immerse yourself in the Barbie world. They have beachy swings and props in the front entrance, a big boom box and street signs further in, and the barbie box along with a seated set up, and a mirror inside. We definitely got lots of cute photos. You can also skate for $1 which gets donated to a local nonprofit. The skating rink is very small. Only 4 people from our group skated and I feel like if all of us did, it would've left little room to really skate around. We also had to wait for the little girls to finish their turn before we joined which was probably very wise because we kept falling lol. It was a fun add on. They have merch on sale but overall, the items were pretty pricey. Our group didn't buy anything and you could probably find similar souvenirs online. Overall - cute for the photos and the experience! read more

An open-air cute experience for lunch with your girl friends or daughter(s), lots of photo opportunities throughout the cafe, the cutest themed drinks, and rollerskating. Food is good but don't expect anything special as the experience is focused on the other stuff. It was a busy start when we arrived and by the time we got to our table it was 30 minutes past our reservation time, but all was good and we weren't rushed out our table in the end. read more

The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and I cannot say enough about the vibe! When we walked in, they said, "Hi, Barbie!! Follow me!! Oh, Ken, you can come, too...," which got a laugh! The Ken host was hilarious and really set the tone for the whole thing! The bartender/manager was incredible and made me feel so fabulous, myself. The skating was so nice! They offered safety equipment and everyone was cheering each other on. If you want to walk out of somewhere feeling great, GO HERE! 1000000/10 There is a small store at the bar where you can buy souvenirs (even a Barbie doll!). There are so many photo opportunities and things to see! Definitely kid-friendly, but the drinks can be very adult-friendly lol read more

Such an adorable event! The food is preordered upon buying tickets and was surprisingly delicious! The lemonades were perfection The ice cream is regular brand There are some spots for pics Alot of options for gifts and good quality merchandise The skating was the best because it truly was hilarious trying not to fall This is a great spot for girl groups, moms and daughter or anyone who loves food and pics I recommend buying time slots early or really late to avoid an overlap of crows, go comfortable and bring socks for the skates! Our service was nice and the girl at the skating rink was hilarious read more

Let's face it, you don't go here for the food, but for the experience!!! A world of pink!!!! How often does that happen?! Well the food is average, it's still fairly decent. The burger was a smash-style burger. The drinks are good, with mocktails available as an option. The staff is friendly and call each other "Barbies". The scenery and endless photo ops steal the show though! So grab your favorite Barbie-loving friends and snap away!!! read more

First time here took my daughter for her birthday, the atmosphere is nice for little girls, and girls who enjoy this decor with lots of pics. But the service was terrible along with the overpriced food that we received and drinks. We had to make a reservation prior to coming along with paying for our meals ahead of time which I thought it was kinda of strange that any restaurant make you pay for meals prior to attending. I highly don't recommend doing this & wasn't happy with the service nor food and choices to choose from, no condiments to choose from nor lettuce tomato etc. I gave it 2 Stars for decor but it's a 1 Star. read more

My niece grew up with a shelf around her whole room lined with Barbies. Every holiday Barbie plus some. When she said she'd be in Miami for a weekend we couldn't think of a better place to celebrate. We needed a table for 6 but could only find tables for 3. Then after I made one reservation and went back to add a second table it was sold out. I emailed Buckerlisters and they allowed me to move my reservation to a time slot with two available tables. Ximena was super helpful. They don't guarantee your tables will be near each other which we were prepared for but the hostess was able to get us right next to each other. There are tons of great photo spots and we took advantage of all of them. The skating rink is cute and for a $1 donation you can skate for 10 minutes. Which was plenty when you don't know how to skate. Our server Daniela was wonderful. She was attentive and got our drinks in good time. She checked on us, kept our water glasses full and was super nice. As were all the employees we encountered. They were sweet and seemed to enjoy being immersed in Barbie World. I ordered the burger which was two patties, cheese and a sauce similar to big mac sauce. It came with either fries, fruit or a salad. The burger was juicy and delicious. The grilled cheese comes with onions and that was tasty. Our vegetarian in the group had the avocado toast and she really enjoyed it. Our little girl did not like the pink pancakes at all but did like the grilled cheese. The cocktails are $16 but nicely poured. I had the Cali Collins and it was delicious. We also had the float that's delivered in a Barbie car. There are beers for $8 and nonalcoholic drinks. You pay a $6 per person tip but your main food order is prepaid online when you book. You can order anything on the menu during your 90 minute table reservation. You can walk around and take pictures before and after your table reservation. Everyone in the place seemed to be having fun and the diversity of pink outfits was incredible. Was it cheap? No Was it fun? Definitely Was it worth it? For a birthday celebration it absolutely was. read more

The concept is cool for a photo session. Where was the Barbie, Ken, Chelsea or Brooklyn that one could interact with? No where to be found. The food served was mediocre (chicken tenders, fruit plate ($29) for kids and ($39) for adults. Yep no drinks included. They were charging for regular faucet water aka still ($6) per cup. If you go please take your own drinks. Instead of charging an entrance fee they make you buy food and pay for a table for 2 hours. It's takes almost 30 minutes (even if you arrive the recommended 10 minutes ) your reservation time to get seated. I came for a birthday celebration. It was 12 people in the party. We were given a table for 6 and 3 (2 person) tables. Wouldn't it have been more convenient just to make 2 (6 persons) tables. Not like we would have taken up that much room. I had a vegan burger and salad oh did I forget it came with a cold nothing spectacular cupcake with whipped cream (blah); although it was slated to come with a cake pop. ($39) dollars. The menu items are basic and the price doesn't even out to the experience. When I compare it to other focused events this is extremely overpriced, overrated and just not worth the time. Hopefully others will give their feedback on this event read more

The Malibu Barbie cafe is such an adorable pop up installation. It's a place that kids and big grown ups like myself can enjoy. The nostalgic decor, the Barbie shop, the cafe, and the skating rink all offer a day of fun to be remembered. I haven't skated in years so it was fun doing a few laps around the small skate area and managing to stay on my feet. I was pleasantly surprised by the food. I had the beach burger which was a delicious double smash burger full of flavor. I ate the whole thing! I did get the side salad instead of fries to ease the guilt some. Lol. For my cocktail choice I went with the Cali Collins which was super cute and pink and glittery while packing a punch with gin and Prosecco. It was happy hour so drinks were $5 off which was awesome! The cake pops that come with your meal were moist and delicious as well. There was a lot to do and see within the space. Also plenty of photo ops! And the staff was very friendly. I absolutely recommend checking it out before in ends on April 21st. I'm hoping it will come back again so I can get to take my granddaughters when they visit. read more

Honestly I was so hyped about coming to the Barbie cafe I came with such high expectations! But I was very quickly disappointed! I would say the price is way too high for this venue , you can take a few good pictures but the lighting is terrible once you're inside , so once you walk in everything looks beautiful but it's $40 per person , we ordered the pancakes which come with sprinkles they were very bland , also ordered the grilled cheese sandwich which I mean it was good enough, and the burger I would say that is the best you can get at this location , drinks are not included, so we ordered a lemonade which I really enjoyed , however we also ordered a Diet Coke and it was $6 , it came in a very small glass both the lemonade and the coke and the drinks were flat . There's a mandatory $6 gratuity per person , the service was good , if you would like to skate it is also $1 more per person , so honestly to me it wasn't worth everything you have to pay to come to this place . On top of that it doesn't include parking but there is a private parking close by and if you're lucky there is street parking available . The bathrooms are really clean , and overall if you're really into Barbie I guess it would be a better experience, how ever for me and my friends it wasn't worth it. Also if you have small kids I think they would like it more , but as I said for the price, food and lighting of the place I wouldn't come back , but I can see why some people would like it more than others . read more

Welcome to the Malibu Malibu Café, the epitome of overratedness in Miami. Get ready to prepay for a rip-off experience of a lifetime - a whopping $44 for a burger, $34 for a grilled cheese (yes a grill cheese), $34 for two pancakes, and another $34 for a tiny quesadilla. The salad is a botanical joke, boasting a grand total of four pieces of greens. No drinks included, and brace yourself for an extra $6 per person at the end. I thought I was paying for an "experience" for my children, but this was a complete waste of money. If you want to use the stinky skates and it's overcast, be prepared for the cast members to say it's closed - I guess they are living in Barbie's alternate reality, thinking it's raining when it's not. Seems most people were there on a mission to pay $200 for a photo app to showcase your Barbie Malibu misadventure on Instagram. read more

Great experience. Fun photo ops and experience. Food and service were pleasant surprise and attention to create atmosphere of fun read more

The place decoration is nice although I expected that the servers would be dressed like Barbies or Kens ..that is a suggestion to consider for the owner. The skating ring is nice although kind of small ..more like for small children..a good thing is you can rent the skating equipment for just one dollar. The food is similar to McDonalds ..don't expect much..a bit pricey for my taste..I guess that is were they make the money.. Overall a cute experience for little girls. I will not go back though..once is enough for me. By the way try to find parking on the street ..if not you will have to pay $25 and above at the public parking across the Barbie Cafe.. read more

We went there and it's no longer there. We were excited to experience it. It was so hard to find parking only to find out it no longer exists. read more

Please do not waste your time, this is so gross and rachette. It's literally a warehouse that they painted colors and hung up some cardboard signs in. THERE IS NOTHING TO DO HERE ATTER YOU EAT THE GROSS FROZEN FOOD. The roller skating is not even 10 feet but it's microscopic. The food is beyond disgusting and I found a rubber band in my salad. I'm actually a little worried about food poisoning. I don't know if the New York one is better but this is a disaster please do not waste your time. Buy a Barbie poster take a photo it's the same. read more

Nice people horrible service waiting over 45 minutes for my entrée. Staff members made sure the white people were serviced before my daughter and I. People that just came in five minutes ago received their entrées. It's been nearly an hour and my table is still empty. read more

Malibu Barbie Cafe - Been here before 90% of these people - Themed Cafes Near Me - Miami, Florida

We made a reservation for 5 guests over a month ago. 2 adults, 3 children for 1:30. When we arrived there was a short line but no hostess. There appeared to be plenty of seating available but when the 2 hostesses arrived along with who I think was a manager, a white male, they seemed very unorganized and frazzled and didn't know where to sit us. We were never greeted. They only wanted to see our QR code for check in. They finally sat the 5 of us at a table for 4 people and offered to bring my 6 yr old a high chair. I asked for a seat but eventually just had to move a chair over from another table myself. Two 6-top tables remained open and available for the entire duration we were there. Our food came out at different times. Zero urgency. The food was okay. Think decent frozen food. The consistently poor service does not justify the $6 PER PERSON gratuity that is automatically added to your bill. The cafe looks different than what's advertised. It's still cute but much smaller. The only good thing about this experience is there are at least 10 spots for cute photo ops throughout the venue. read more

The Malibu Barbie Cafe is over rated. Avocado toast was very salty and not freshly made guacamole. (Must be from a plastic container) The pancakes were not fully cooked and we waited close to 15 minutes after the avocado toast was served. There was no fun vibe. I would like to have seen some interaction from the staff, perhaps dressed up like Barbie's and Ken's and some music from the soundtrack of the movie. The employees looked miserable to be working there. The venue is lacking in decor for such an open space. Over all disappointing experience. read more

This place is overall horrible so over price we went roller skating for like 30 minutes I couldn't even get a refund but they took our table away I hate this place I wish it was banned I had to give this one star because 0 is not a option read more

Great food and service. Very cute place for photos too. The perfect place for both kids and adults. Overall great experience!
