REVIEW: This May Be the BEST Way To Spend $5 in EPCOT Right Now

Who doesn’t love Brunch?! Come to think of it… who doesn’t love EPCOT?

2024 BRUNCHCOT Outdoor Kitchen

No one that I can think of! And that’s a good thing… because here at the 2024 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, we’re discovering once again what happens when BRUNCH meets EPCOT at BRUNCHCOT. Located just steps away from Test Track in World Discovery, BRUNCHCOT is one of the Festival’s Outdoor Kitchens (also known as Food Booths). And we’re bringing you our review right here as we check out EVERY SINGLE BOOTH at this year’s Festival!

Menu

What’s BRUNCHCOT serving up this year? The lovely Avocado Toast is back, along with the Fried Cinnamon Roll Bites. A new dish is also up for grabs: a Biscuit and Gravy (featuring ingredients by IMPOSSIBLE).

The colorful Froot Loops Shake returns once again! Of-age guests who are in search of a little caffeine can try the Coffee Cocktail, or opt for a Peach Bellini if you’ve already had your cup o’ joe for the day.

So, does BRUNCHCOT impress this year? Let’s find out…

Eats

The always Insta-worthy Avocado Toast is $6 and is topped with marinated tomatoes and plant-based cheese crumbles, all served up on toasted ciabatta. This dish is basically a Flower and Garden Festival CLASSIC at this point, and we keep coming back for more.

Avocado Toast

This plant-based dish is also eligible for a stamp if you’re attempting to complete the Garden Graze food crawl! It tastes like a simple, classic avocado toast you can find at many breakfast restaurants, with all the salty, savory flavors we know and love. It’s a litttttle bland, but overall, we still really enjoy this dish. The tomatoes — despite the claim that they are marinated — didn’t have much flavor, but the bread was the star of the show here. The toast itself was crunchy AND chewy, which we really appreciated. The only thing we could see improving this dish would be a little drizzle of balsamic, but overall, this is a returning favorite for us! 

Avocado Toast

Now, this one’s unexpected… the new Biscuit and Gravy dish ($6.75) probably isn’t what comes to mind when you think of the classic dish.

 

Why? Well, this take features IMPOSSIBLE Chicken Fried Steak and IMPOSSIBLE Sausage Gravy. Hmmm…we’re intrigued. Surprisingly, we found this dish to be a winner! The biscuit and gravy combination was really delicious, and it tasted like real sausage and real sausage gravy. There was lots of pepper in both the gravy and the meat, which gave this a nice jolt of flavor. The Chicken Fried IMPOSSIBLE patty was shockingly convincing, too! In fact, we think even people who eat meat will like this snack. The biscuit is nice, light, and flaky and makes a good base to soak up the gravy. At the end of the day, though, the most noteworthy part of this dish is the fact that it’s made without real meat. Give it a try if you’re feeling adventurous!

How about some Fried Cinnamon Roll Bites while we’re at it? This dish is $5.

Fried Cinnamon Roll Bites

The Cinnamon Roll Bites comes complete with cream cheese frosting and candied bacon (HELLO!). For the past two years, we’ve enjoyed this tasty treat as the perfect brunch-meets-dessert. But what about this year?

Fried Cinnamon Roll Bites

Without question, we’re here to report that these are a TOTAL contender for the best of the fest this year. The value is surprisingly good here — five big cinnamon roll bites for five dollars! Each Cinnamon Roll Bite is generously coated with cinnamon sugar and sweet cream cheese frosting. Need we say more? There’s also lots of candied bacon on top, which adds a salty, savory kick to cut through the sweet, sugary flavors. The cinnamon filling is HEAVEN! It’s creamy, gooey, and buttery. For five dollars, this is a no-brainer. GET IT.

Of course, it’s just not brunch without a few fun sips to go along with everything…

Drinks

Channel your inner child with the returning Froot Loops Shake! Surprise! This shake is a different color this year, but the flavor remains the same. It’s got that classic, milky Froot Loop flavor we know and love!

Froot Loops Shake

This is a great one to grab for your own kiddo (it’s non-alcoholic, after all!), and be sure to steal a sip for yourself. 😉 This drink is $5.

Adults can pick up a traditional Peach Bellini for $11.50.

Peach Bellini

You can never really go wrong with a Bellini, but it’s still worth mentioning that this drink is pretty basic and even a bit light on the peach, with an emphasis on sparkling wine. Obviously, there are more unique beverages you can pick up not just at BRUNCHOT, but all over the Festival.

Need something for an extra boost? The Coffee Cocktail ($11) might be what you’re looking for.

Coffee Cocktail

It features Joffrey’s Coffee with milk, vanilla vodka, and Kahlúa Rum AND Coffee Liqueur for a pick-me-up any time of day. This one doesn’t have an overpowering alcohol flavor; the main flavor is that rich coffee, along with a hint of sweet Kahlúa. Does this mean it’s a weak drink? Or just suspiciously easy to drink? We’ll let you be the judge.

OVERALL

This booth has SO MANY great options. From the classic Avocado Toast to the new IMPOSSIBLE dish, there is so much to explore here. Well, I don’t know about you, but I could eat brunch ALL DAY. That said, there’s still SO MUCH MORE to check out at the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, so on we go!
