As a coffee lover and parent of two little ones, a good iced coffee is essential to start my day on the right foot, even on vacation at Walt Disney World. I need that perfect enchanting brew to keep up my energy levels throughout my days at the parks!
If you’re staying at a Disney Resort hotel, your room comes equipped with a single-serve coffee machine and stocked with Joffrey’s Coffee pods. But, let’s be real – if you’re anything like me, those pods won’t cut it. You need to know all the best spots to grab a good iced coffee, cold brew, or latte while you’re out and about! So take a look at this list of the most recommended spots to grab a good cup of coffee at Walt Disney World:
Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company and Joffrey’s Revive, multiple locations
This coffee shop has several permanent locations and kiosks throughout Disney World. It’s the perfect spot for those who want a quick cup of coffee or a fun seasonal specialty drink. My go-to is a frozen cappuccino or a Shakin’ Jamaican Cold Brew, but I love to try some of the unique drinks at different locations when I get the craving.
Starbucks: 2 Starbucks branded locations in Disney Springs, Main Street Bakery in Magic Kingdom, Trolley Car Cafe in Hollywood Studios, Creature Comforts in Animal Kingdom, and Connections Cafe in EPCOT.
The Trolley Car Cafe at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is a great Starbucks location to get your coffee fix!
I’ll admit that I’m a total sucker for Starbucks, and will often choose these locations in the parks over Joffrey’s. They serve exactly the same menus as your hometown Starbucks locations, and have the same quality you know and love. A bonus for me is that these locations take Starbucks cards and Starbucks rewards as payment. If you’re stopping at the Disney Springs locations, be on the lookout for creative drinks the Cast Members put on the menu! My go-to drink is Iced White Mocha Americano, the perfect not-too-sweet drink for me!
Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs
Cold brew and warm cookies? Best combo ever! Gideon’s Bakehouse is famous for its huge, soft decadent cookies, and my mouth is watering just thinking about them. Make sure to get there during “Hot Cookie Hour” between 2-3 pm and 7-8 pm when they come right out of the oven, and take a few extra as souvenirs with you! The cold brews here are also the perfect pairing. My favorite so far is the Peanut Butter Cold Brew with a warm Chocolate Chip Cookie.
Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew in Disney Springs
Speaking of great pairings: If you’re craving a delicious donut with your coffee that’s what you’ll find here at Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew. Mouthwateringly light and fresh donuts with fun, flavorful toppings. Their cold brew menu is just as extensive as their donut menu, and I love that they take the guesswork out of choosing the right flavor combos with their toppers: a perfect pairing of iced cold brew and a flavored donut. Try the Cloud 9 Caramel Topper: a Salted Caramel Iced Cold Brew + a Classic Glazed Donut
Barcelona Lounge at Coronado Springs Gran Destino Tower
Whether you’re looking for a coffee cocktail, a Spanish coffee, or something simple, this location at Coronado Springs Resort serves caffeine up in style. My Spanish family members would even approve of their Cafe con Leche! Grab a comfy window seat or pull up to the bar in this lobby location and sip.
Scat Cat’s Club Cafe at Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter
Scat Cat’s Club is most famous for its adorable and delicious Mickey-shaped Beignets, but what could go better with those decadent sweet treats than a nice cup of joe? If you’re feeling the New Orleans vibe, go for a Chicory Coffee or a hot Cafe au Lait.
Le Petit Cafe at Riviera Resort
This beautiful gourmet bakery is the perfect little spot for a relaxing coffee break and indulging in one of the many fancy pastries. I’m so impressed with the menu of coffees and teas at this spot! The Cinnamon Cold Brew topped with a house-made Honey-Almond Whipped Cream caught my eye, but I may be considering a stay at Disney’s Riviera Resort for my next trip just to try them all!
Kona Island Coffee Bar at Polynesian Village Resort
This spot is the perfect grab-and-go coffee bar at Polynesian Village Resort, and there are so many great options on the menu. If you’ve got the time and someone to share with, a Press Pot of Joffrey’s Kona Coffee for 2 is a great choice with a couple of pastries. They also have a featured seasonal drink from time to time, if you’re up for something new!
