Dakota Fanning paid a visit to a coffee shop in New York City this morning (April 17).

Dakota looked cute as she headed over to the set of her new flick “Every Secret Thing” where she filmed scenes as a bagel store employee with Australian co-star Danielle Macdonald.

And it sounds like Dakota has been playing her big sister role well, as her younger sibling Elle Fanning has decided to follow her example and seek higher education.

Elle shared, “My sister has inspired me to go to college. I don’t know where I want to go, but now that I’m a high-school freshman you hear about the juniors and seniors talking about where they’ve gotten in and wearing their school sweatshirts. I want to have a school sweatshirt that I wear!”
