Snacks

Caramel Butter Bar

Can you really pass up Karamell-Kuche? I didn’t think so! This shop in EPCOT’s Germany is the place for sampling Werther’s Original Caramel desserts like caramel corn, caramel apples, caramel cupcakes, and more.

And the rich Caramel Butter Bar tends to get rave reviews.

That gooey caramel and buttery shortbread is delish, friends!

Liege Waffle

This dining stop is convenient, especially when entering or exiting EPCOT! Connections Cafe and Eatery located in World Celebration is home to two waffle options.

At Connections Cafe, the Liege Waffle is made with a brioche dough with pearl and powdered sugar. It tastes like a breakfast Danish!

What a beauty

For a more decadent snack, head over to Connections Eatery. Here, you’ll find a Liege Waffle that features Brioche Dough with Pearl Sugar, Strawberries, Whipped Cream, and Chocolate Sauce.

School Bread

Are you a coconut fan? If so, we’ve got a snack for you! Norway’s Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe fills their bakery case with an assortment of delicious Norwegian treats. But it’s no secret that DFB recommends the cream-filled School Bread.

We do love that school bread

An iconic dessert, the School Bread is a Sweet Roll filled with a thick, creamy vanilla cream and dipped in Coconut. Give it at try!

Seasonal Poutine

Just outside the Canada pavilion, Refreshment Port showcases Poutine. Made with French fries, gravy, and cheese curds — what more can you ask for?!

Turkey Poutine

Specialty poutine is usually featured during the EPCOT festivals. If it’s holiday time, order the signature Turkey Poutine, which is a plate of French fries with turkey gravy, cranberry relish, and crispy onions!

Poutine? Good. EPCOT’s Braised Beef Poutine with Boursin Garlic Cheese? EPIC.

Turtle Brownie

Sunshine Seasons in The Land Pavilion is known for offering a variety of savory and sweet items. Before or after Soarin’, we like to stop for one of our favorite treats — the turtle brownie.

Turtle Brownie

It’s a dense, chocolatey brownie boasting a THICK layer of caramel! And it’s topped even further with chocolate frosting and all sorts of crunchy goodies like chocolate chips and pecans.

Read all about the Turtle Brownie that we love and cherish here!

Festival Booths

EPCOT has become a year-round host to festivals. Best of all, these events feature food booths with a variety of bites and sips.

EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival

Grab a Festival Passport when you enter EPCOT, then choose at least one booth item to sample.

BEST Value Restaurants at Disney World for 2023

Pizza – Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria

There’s one spot that seems to be the undisputed KING of pizza and an overall popular destination in Disney World — Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria in EPCOT.

Feed the Crew with a HUGE (and DELICIOUS) Pizza at Via Napoli

The crust of the pizza overall is perfectly crunchy but still has a good chew to it (as a good pizza should have), and you can tell with the taste that the cheeses are high quality. You can order a very large pizza to share making this a great stop for larger groups.

Review! Does Via Napoli Still Have The Best Pizza in Disney World?

Le Cellier Filet Mignon – Le Cellier Steakhouse

Le Cellier Steakhouse is a lovely spot tucked in a cozy wine cellar in the Canada pavilion. This signature restaurant is known for poutine, Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup, and Filet Mignon.
