Malibu Barbie Cafe popup coming to Mall of America next month
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. -- The unofficial summer of "Barbie" continues into fall, as the Mall of America has announced it will host a pop-up "Malibu Barbie Cafe" starting in September.
The cafe experience, which has previously dropped in New York and Chicago, will arrive at the mall on the (high) heels of the record-breaking box-office success of Greta Gerwig's movie adaptation starring Margot Robbie.
The pop-up experience is being presented by Bucket Listers, which has been behind such other nostalgia-based popup experiences as "The Golden Girls Kitchen" and "The Peach Pit."
The cafe promises pop kitsch color schemes, retro flourishes, and a menu from "Master Chef" finalist Becky Brown including such items as "Pacific Paradise Pancakes," "West Coast Wedge Salad," and a "California Dreamin' Club Sandwich."

"We are excited to bring the Malibu Barbie Café to Mall of America. This unique dining experience provides a fun opportunity for Barbie fans of all ages to immerse themselves into the world of Barbie," the Mall of America's Carrie Charleston said.
Additionally, the will be a life-size Barbie box, for social media bragging rights.
The cafe is reservation-only, and signups have already opened here.
Gerwig's "Barbie" film has already topped $1 billion grosses worldwide, and in its first three weeks in theaters has already become one of the top 20 highest-grossing films of all time, domestically.
