L’Artisan des Glaces at EPCOT: A Sweet Spot for Ice Cream Lovers

22 May 2025 by Steve Bell Leave a Comment

Tucked away in the charming streets of EPCOT’s France Pavilion, L’Artisan des Glaces is a must-visit for anyone who dreams in scoops and swirls.

With handcrafted French ice cream and sorbet served in a cozy, rustic setting, this little shop delivers big on flavor and Parisian charm.

Location

📍 EPCOT –  World Showcase –  France

You’ll find L’Artisan des Glaces in the France Pavilion of EPCOT’s World Showcase, toward the back of the pavilion past the water feature to the left. It’s right next to Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie. Keep an eye out for the powder-blue shutters and hand-lettered sign above the door—it feels like you’ve stumbled onto a hidden gem in a quiet corner of Paris.

Ambiance

Step inside, and you’re immediately transported to a French creamery. The interior is warm and inviting, with weathered wood beams, stone accents, and antique-style ice cream containers that lend an old-world feel. The space is small, but that only adds to its charm—plus, the heavenly smell of fresh waffle cones doesn’t hurt either.

Even the queue adds to the experience, often filled with excited guests debating their favorite flavors or peeking through the glass at the colorful tubs of gelato and sorbet. It’s a sensory treat from start to finish.

Menu

The stars here are the 16 rotating flavors of artisanal ice cream and sorbet, all made in-house. Whether you’re craving something fruity and refreshing or rich and indulgent, there’s something to hit the spot. Flavors range from classics like Vanilla and Chocolate to more unique offerings like Profiterole, Cinnamon with Caramelized Pecan, and Mango Sorbet.

You can enjoy your ice cream:

• In a cone or cup (1 or 2 scoops)
• Sandwiched in a fresh brioche bun and pressed warm (a French twist that’s seriously underrated!)
• Or topped with a shot of Grand Marnier, Rum, or Whipped Cream Vodka (yes, really—adults only!)

Favorites include:

• Salted Caramel – a sweet-salty dream that’s rich and creamy
• Strawberry Sorbet – light, bright, and perfect on a hot day
• Coconut White Chocolate – tropical and indulgent
• Ice Cream Martini – 2 scoops plus a splash of liqueur for a grown-up twist

Seasonal flavors sometimes pop in too, so it’s worth checking what’s available when you visit.

Mobile Order

Mobile Order is not available at L’Artisan des Glaces. This is a small, boutique-style location where part of the fun is browsing the case and watching your scoops prepared fresh. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait during peak times—it’s popular for a reason!

Wrap-Up

L’Artisan des Glaces is more than just another ice cream shop—it’s an authentic taste of France in the heart of EPCOT. Whether you’re strolling World Showcase, finishing a meal in the France Pavilion, or just need a cool treat in the Florida heat, this is one sweet stop you won’t want to skip.
