While they might not be from an official booth, there was no way we were going to skip these iconic Disney festival items!
Joffrey’s is a Disney institute, and for many of us, this is our first stop on any long park day. And on a day like the opening of the EPCOT Festival of the Arts, coffee is basically a necessity. But you can get more than just coffee at Joffrey’s today. There are some unique drinks at different locations across EPCOT, and you can learn all about them here!
As soon as we got inside EPCOT, we headed over to Joffrey’s.
This year, Joffrey’s mixing it up with some caffeinated options featuring their famous cold brew and a few fruity lemonade options that you can customize with an adult twist!
Menu
If you feel the need for some caffeine, then you’ll need to head over to the Joffrey’s location in World Discovery (near Mission: SPACE) for the Pistachio Palette Cold Brew or venture to the kiosk just past the Canada pavilion for the Realism Roseberry Cold Brew. If you crave something fruity and refreshing, then set your path over toward the Joffrey’s at Showcase Plaza (Near Disney Traders) for the Brushstroke Berry Bliss, and finally over at the American Adventure location for the Pastel Pineberry Frost.
Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into all of the options!
Drinks
First up, we grabbed the Pistachio Palette Cold Brew at the World Discovery location. This is described as a “flavorful masterpiece featuring Joffrey’s Shakin’ Jamaican Cold Brew, pistachio syrup, and milk topped with whipped cream and colorful sprinkles” for $6.49.
An alcoholic version is available with Bailey’s Irish Cream Liqueur for $14.99. The pistachio flavor is very light in a way most people will probably appreciate. Even if you’re NOT a big fan of pistachio treats, this one is quite mild, and the flavor is subtle.
On the other hand, if you’re a big fan of desserts like pistachio pudding and pistachio ice cream, you may notice that this doesn’t pack the same kind of punch; it’s almost like a pistachio queitttttly whispered into the cold brew. The whipped cream topping and green sugar sprinkles don’t add much to this other than a little hit of sugar. Overall, we would order this again — give it a try if you’re looking for a new drink!
Next, we grabbed the Realism Roseberry Cold Brew at the location near the Canada Pavilion. This is described as a “lively swirl of flavors featuring Joffrey’s Shakin’ Jamaican Cold Brew, strawberry rose syrup, and milk topped with whipped cream and colorful sprinkles” for $6.49. An alcoholic version is available with Bailey’s Irish Cream Liqueur for $14.99.
We never thought we would ever enjoy rose syrup in cold brew, but this proved us wrong! Pairing it with the strawberry was a fantastic choice and made for a really great flavor. We would say this is a bit sweeter than other cold brew coffees, but it wasn’t overpowering. Even if you’re a picky eater who enjoys coffee, we say give this one a try! It’s super unique and we think everyone should experience it.
We continued our Joffrey’s quest with the Brushstroke Berry Bliss at the Showcase Plaza location near Disney Traders. This is described as a “vibrant combination of frozen lemon, Minute Maid Lemonade, raspberry syrup, and iced tea garnished with lemon” for $6.49. An alcoholic version is available with Grey Goose Vodka for $14.99.
This is basically a delicious, grown-up slushy. It is sweet but not overwhelmingly syrupy. When you hear “slushy,” you might want to dismiss this drink, but the Brushstroke Berry Bliss is more sophisticated than one might expect. Upon first sip, we got a sour flavor that eventually settled into a sweet tea with a hint of berry. It’s really more of a lemon iced tea with a hint of berry. It’s quite refreshing, and we would recommend it to anyone!
Finally, we wrapped up our Joffrey’s EPCOT Crawl with the Pastel Pineberry Frost at the American Adventure location. This is described as a “pastel work of art featuring frozen lemon, Minute Maid Lemonade, and pineberry syrup garnished with lemon” for $6.49. An alcoholic version is available with Grey Goose Vodka for $14.99.
This one is MUCH sweeter than the Brushstroke Berry Bliss. That said, it wasn’t sickly sweet — we still tasted a tart flavor at first, but that tartness then transitioned into a mild yet satisfying strawberry flavor. When we say strawberry — don’t picture that artificial strawberry soda taste. Instead, this had a mild berry flavor with just the right amount of sweetness. This was yet another grown-up slushy that is cool and refreshing. We will order it again! While we didn’t get the spirited version, we have a feeling this would be even BETTER with the Grey Goose Vodka.
OVERALL
So, should you try one of these? Yes! Overall, the fruity lemonade drinks were pretty sugary, but those cool slushy drinks were a surprising win with elevated and complex flavors. We really think there’s something at this booth for everyone. If you love sweet drinks, you might want to try them or treat your kids to one. Don’t sleep on Joffrey’s!
That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
