The two-story Malibu Barbie Cafe includes a Barbie-themed food and drink menu, a skate rink, a Barbie toy box for photo ops and an exclusive merchandise shop.

Bucket Listers, an app that shares events happening in cities across the U.S., organized the event.

“As soon as you step into our trendy cafe, you’ll be transported to 1970s Malibu California with a sea of poptimistic Barbie colors, laid-back beachy motifs and lots of retro glam,” a statement from Bucket Listers reads. 

"MasterChef" finalist Becky Brown curated the menu, which includes the Beach Burger, Pacific Paradise Pancakes and a make-your-own sundae for dessert. Themed drinks include the Cali Collins and the Think Pink Margarita.

Everyone is welcome at the immersive experience, which also includes a kids menu for families.

Entry into the skate rink is $1, and all proceeds will go to Girls, Inc., a nonprofit that offers after school programs for young girls where they can study art, STEM and learn life skills. Skating gear will be provided, but guests are encouraged to bring their own in case of limited quantities.

Guests can also enjoy a 21 and up pink roller disco every Saturday night and cupcake decorating classes on Sept. 14 and Oct. 5.

The cafe is located at 8200 Washington Ave and will be open from August through October from Wednesdays through Sundays.

Tickets start at $29 for a single bar seat and go up to $145 for a table for five to six people. Each ticket includes a $10 food credit, $5 worth of merchandise credit and a 90 minute table reservation. Click here to purchase tickets.
