Did you know that there are some Food & Wine Festival snacks and treats that AREN’T at the marketplace food booths?
Some permanent dining locations in EPCOT get special menu items just for the festival. Come with us to the Connections Café and Eatery to check out a NEW dessert and cocktail.
Menu
Over at Connections Café and Eatery, you’ll find just one festival item — a Remy Liege Waffle.
Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself!
Eats
We got the Remy Liege Waffle, which is a Cream Cheese Liege Waffle with Cream Cheese Icing, Graham Cracker Crumbs, and a Remy Chocolate Garnish.
We’ve had several different flavors of Liege Waffles at Connections Café, including an Orange Bird-themed one for the Flower & Garden Festival and a Figment waffle for the Festival of the Arts. So how does the new Remy one stack up?
It’s very creamy! The waffle is soft but firm where it needs to be to hold its form. It’s a little messy with the sugar coating and cream cheese icing, and the Remy garnish is also melty in the sun — but that’s to be expected from Florida in the summer! Cream cheese haters need not apply — this isn’t a regular waffle. But, it makes for a great quick breakfast if cream cheese is your jam. It was almost like a waffle and Toaster Strudel had a baby.
First things first, the NEW Remy Liege Waffle from Connections Cafe!

You can get one at the Café or Eatery for $4.19.
Drinks
There’s also a festival drink at Connections! It’s the Yucatan Sunset Margarita for $15.50. This drink is Teremana Blanco Tequila, Passion Fruit Syrup, Bol’s Triple Sec 30 proof Liqueur, with Lime and Orange Juices.
While we do love the idea of margaritas for breakfast, this drink isn’t available until a bit later in the day — so stay tuned for our full review of that!
Alright, now for the real question — should you make a stop at Connections?
OVERALL
So is it worth visiting Connections Café and Eatery for these festival snacks, or should you stick to the Festival Marketplaces? If you ask us, a Liege Waffle is always worth it — and this one is pretty darn cute with Remy on it. But, you can get a Liege Waffle here year-round, so if it’s the margarita you’re after this spot might be worth the trip!
That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
