Did you know that once upon a time Walt Disney World was criticized and often the butt of jokes for a lack of available coffee?
And what coffee they did have was terrible! Those days are long behind us where hot magic bean water is more abundant than any other drink in the Disney Parks.
EPCOT, one of the four iconic theme parks at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, is not only a hub for thrilling attractions and cultural experiences but also a treasure trove for coffee enthusiasts. Whether you’re looking for a quick caffeine fix or a delightful coffee-themed journey, EPCOT offers a variety of options to satisfy your coffee cravings. In this guide, we’ll explore the different locations where you can grab a cup of coffee in this unique theme park.
Starbucks
Starbucks is one of the most recognizable coffee locations in the United States, so it’s comforting to see that familiar menu. Every one of the Disney parks and Disney Springs has a Starbucks location, but you will never see a Starbucks sign in the parks. Disney is all about storytelling, and Starbucks just isn’t a part of that.
In EPCOT, the Starbucks location is called Connections Cafe and Eatery and it’s located towards the front of the park in World Celebration. The Starbucks location here features every drink that you know and love plus a few Disney-fied snacks.
Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company
Disney’s partnership with Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company provides an array of coffee experiences. EPCOT features various Joffrey’s kiosks offering freshly brewed coffee, specialty lattes, and iced coffees with unique flavors inspired by EPCOT’s themes. For a true coffee adventure, try the seasonal concoctions that align with EPCOT’s festivals. You’ll find Joffrey’s kiosks at different locations throughout the park, including multiple locations in World Showcase, in World Discovery, and near the park entrance. With 5 Joffrey’s carts around EPCOT, you’re never far away from the caffeinated nectar of the Gods.
Love the Disney coffee at the Moderate and Deluxe Resorts? Those specialty coffees for the resorts are specially roasted Joffrey’s beans unique to these resorts. And guess what? They’re available for sale in the hotel gift shop.
