REVIEW: You Can Find Better Versions of These Disney World Pastries Elsewhere

Looking for breakfast on the go when you’re in Disney World? There are plenty of options to choose from in the parks and resorts!

Contemporary Grounds, the Joffrey’s location at the Contemporary Resort.

You can pick up quick items like the Cinnamon Roll at Gaston’s Tavern in Magic Kingdom or some pastries from Les Halles in EPCOT. You’ll also find Joffrey’s and Starbucks locations all around the property, so there are usually quite a few choices there. The other day, we picked up a quick bite from Joffrey’s, and in true DFB fashion, we just had to share our thoughts! 😜

At the Joffrey’s location at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, you can snag yourself a quick bite on your way to the parks, which is especially convenient for breakfast time. We stopped by to grab two of their pastries the other day — the Lemon Pound Cake and the Croissant Doughnut. 

Looks pretty good to us!

The Lemon Pound Cake was a pretty decent size for the price of $4.99.

It’s a pretty big hunk of pound cake!

It was moist, rich, and heavy — all things that are good for a pound cake, but ultimately we think that the Starbucks version is a little better.

We had similar thoughts about the Croissant Doughnut, also priced at $4.99. We expected this one to be pretty dry going in, but we did get a little bit of butter right at the end of the bite. It wasn’t knock-your-socks-off delicious or anything, and we’d probably skip this one in favor of the regular doughnuts at Joffrey’s. 

Flaky, but pretty dry nonetheless.

Neither of these treats was “bad,” but we do think that there are better versions in other places, especially with a bakery case full of goodies at Contempo Cafe and a Starbucks next door in Magic Kingdom. If you’re really hungry and you find yourself at the Joffrey’s cart, you might want to try them out. Other than that, we recommend holding out for something more exciting.

That’s some THICC cake.
