Most of Minion Land, including Minion Café, soft opened today at Universal Studios Florida. A soft opening means not all experiences may be available all the time as things are still being changed and tested.
Minion Land
The land takes over Production Central and includes several new food and beverage locations, as well as Despicable Me Minion Mayhem. Villain-Con Minion Blast will open at a later date.
Illumination Theater
Illumination character meet-and-greets will take place outside Illumination Theater.
We met Johnny and Gunter from “Sing.”
Between the theater and Bake My Day is a façade for a Minion tailor shop.
Bake My Day
Bake My Day is the bright pink building on the corner of the block.
It serves sweet treats, like cupcakes, macarons, and s’mores, plus includes a selection of Minion-inspired merchandise, including apparel, plush, drinkware, accessories, and keychains.
The unicorn-inspired Loungefly backpack and plush sit in the window.
Freeze Ray Pops
Next door is Freeze Ray Pops, which will have a variety of colorful popsicles inspired by Gru, the Minions, and Vector.
There’s a mobile pickup window right next to Freeze Ray Pops.
This is followed by the Bank of Evil façade.
Minion Café
On the far end of the block is Minion Café. There’s a brick façade with a Minion “Bello” mural.
The main entrance marquee of Minion Café is splattered with yellow paint.
The full Minion Café menu was released earlier this week and includes various bowls, sandwiches, Minion Tots, Fluffy Unicorn Cupcake, and more themed items.
Stay tuned for our review of Minion Café and the other food and beverage locations.
There is indoor and outdoor seating.
Pop-A-Nana
Finally, there is the new popcorn stand featuring banana-flavored popcorn — Pop-A-Nana.
Though we took a look at this menu, managers were on site changing it already. Expect a different menu later today.
