So maybe you’ve come here because you’re planning in advance and would like to know the best places to eat breakfast in EPCOT or maybe you are at Disney now and are frantically trying to figure out where to grab breakfast at last minute.
Either way, I’m here to help you find the best spots for breakfast in EPCOT.
**Things are constantly changing at Walt Disney World, especially since the reopening. I will keep you updated as far as what restaurants are currently open and serving breakfast.
Quick-Service Breakfast in EPCOT
EPCOT is known for having the best food in all of Walt Disney World. However, when it comes to breakfast, options are pretty slim.
Here are the few quick-service places offering breakfast in EPCOT, where you can quickly grab something to fuel your day. You do NOT need a reservation.
Feeling Overwhelmed?!

1. Sunshine Seasons
Sunshine Seasons is a quick-service, food court-style restaurant located in The Land Pavillion next to Soarin’ and Living with the Land.
If you are heading to Soarin’ first thing in the morning, this is a great stop to grab breakfast.
They have many choices including a hot breakfast platter with French Toast, eggs, potatoes, bacon, and sausage. Other options include oatmeal, cereal, a breakfast croissant sandwich, and a bagel with cream cheese.
Your kids will love the kid breakfast platter, which includes scrambled eggs, bacon, and cinnamon French Toast with a drink.
There are a wide variety of caffeinated beverages including coffee, hot tea, espresso, cappuccino, iced lattes, and iced coffee. Fountain drinks, orange juice, apple juice, white milk, chocolate milk, and hot chocolate are also available.
Fun Fact: What’s so cool about Sunshine Seasons and Garden Grill Restaurant is that the produce and seafood cooked here are grown at the greenhouses located right here in The Land Pavilion. Jump on the Living with the Land boat ride after eating breakfast to learn all about what Disney grows here at EPCOT.
PRO-TIP: Ride Soarin’ first before eating breakfast at Sunshine Seasons. The wait for Soarin’ will get much longer as the morning progresses.
Price: $14.99 and under
Location: The Land Pavilion
2. Connections Café/Starbucks
As of 4/21/22, Connections Café/Starbucks has replaced Traveler’s Café/Starbucks. This new Starbucks is located in World Celebration near Club Cool and Creations Shop.
For all you Starbucks lovers, this is the place to get all your favorite Starbucks beverages, breakfast sandwiches, and pastries.
Plus, how fun is it to drink Starbucks out of a cup covered in Mickey, Minnie, Tinkerbell, and Mickey balloons!!

Here you will find a wide selection of pastries including beignets, pain au chocolates (chocolate croissants), and croissant amandes (chocolate croissants with almond filling). There are also many sandwiches and specialty items including croissant salé (eggs, cheese, and bacon on a croissant).
To go along with your yummy pastry or sandwich, grab an espresso, cappuccino, latte, café (coffee), or even a mimosa! The kids will love a chocolat chaud (hot chocolate), lait au chocolat (chocolate milk), or a fountain beverage.
Early morning is the best time to come here if you’d like to try this super popular bakery in EPCOT. Lines at lunch into the afternoon can get crazy long!
As they say in France, Bon appetite!

4. Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe
Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe is a delicious, quick-service, Norwegian Bakery located in the Norway Pavilion. It’s the perfect place to grab breakfast in EPCOT if heading to Frozen Ever After in the morning.
This bakery offers some delicious Norwegian pastries including school bread, which is a sweet roll filled with custard and dipped in coconut. Lefse is a soft flatbread rolled with cinnamon, sugar, and butter. Eplekake, an apple cake with caramel drizzle.

Character Breakfast in EPCOT
There are two character dining options in EPCOT. Character dining is so much fun for the whole family, but especially fun and magical for toddlers and young kids while at EPCOT.
**Unfortunately, since the reopening these two character dining options are only for lunch or dinner.
5. Garden Grill Restaurant (Temporarily Closed for Breakfast)
As of right now, Garden Grill Restaurant is the ONLY character dining at EPCOT. Unfortunately, they are currently not open for breakfast. I really hope this changes soon and they bring breakfast back!
When breakfast was served, many delicious items were served family-style including Mickey Waffles and their signature dish Chip’s Sticky Bun Bake.
However, if your looking for a character meal in EPCOT this is a great choice for lunch or dinner.
Characters seen at Garden Grill Restaurant include Chip ‘n’ Dale, Farmer Mickey, and Pluto. Besides characters, what also makes Garden Grill Restaurant fun is it is a rotating restaurant!!
Advanced Dining Reservations are required for Garden Grill Restaurant. You can conveniently book on the My Disney Experience App. However, if you don’t have a reservation check the My Disney Experience App while at EPCOT to see if you can “Join the Walk-Up List.”
Lunch begins at 11:30 am. Allergy-friendly options are available.

Breakfast in EPCOT Resort Area
There are some great breakfast options in the EPCOT Resort Area. They are very convenient for those staying at one of the EPCOT Resorts. However, if you are not staying at an EPCOT Resort, you can still eat breakfast at one of these resorts and take advantage of its close proximity and prime location to the EPCOT International Gateway.
For those that do not know, the EPCOT International Gateway is the “other” entrance/exit to EPCOT. It’s also the access point for the Disney Skyliner.
Entering the park at the International Gateway lands you between the France and United Kingdom Pavilions, a perfect landing spot for those wanting to head first to the most popular ride at the park, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in France.
If you’d like to eat breakfast at an EPCOT Resort you have a couple of options. You could eat before entering the park or you could eat a later breakfast after entering the park.
If you’d like to eat before entering the park, grab an Uber or Disney transportation to drop you off at one of these Resorts/restaurants.
BoardWalk Deli
BoardWalk Deli located on Disney’s Boardwalk is a great quick service option if you are staying in one of the EPCOT Resorts.
They have delicious breakfast sandwiches. They also offer an assortment of pastries and bakery items including croissants, muffins, banana bread, bagels, danishes, and a giant Mickey cinnamon roll!
Beverages include orange juice, sodas, white milk, chocolate milk, and hot chocolate.
And of course, they also have many specialty coffees including caffè latte, cappuccino, Joffrey’s cold brew, double espresso, and Joffrey’s Coffee

Cape May Cafe is an all-you-can-eat-breakfast buffet, located at Disney’s Beach Club Resort. They have everything here for the whole family to enjoy to fuel your day at EPCOT.
Beach Club Resort is a very close walk to EPCOT’s International Gateway Entrance. In fact, Beach Club Resort is the closest resort to EPCOT. The atmosphere is very calm and soothing, a world away from the chaos at the parks.
The server will start you off with a basket of delicious salted caramel “Beach Buns” with a vanilla cream dipping sauce. Then you can head to the buffet where you will find Mickey and Minnie Waffles (Yes, Minnie waffles!), scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, chocolate chip pancakes, french toast, oatmeal, grits, omelets, and more!

Trattoria al Forno
Trattoria al Forno is another great EPCOT Resort Area table-service breakfast option. Located on Disney’s beautiful Boardwalk, close to Boardwalk Bakery, Trattoria al Forno offers many options to please adults and kids.
Breakfast is served from 7:30 am to 11:30 am. This would make a great early morning breakfast before heading to EPCOT or as a late breakfast after exploring some of EPCOT.
This breakfast in EPCOT’s Resort Area has a wide selection of entrees including oak-grilled steak and eggs, sunrise breakfast pizza, buttermilk pancakes, tiramisu-style french toast, pastries, avocado toast florentine frittata, and a fruit plate including yogurt and granola.

Kids also have a choice to create their own (choose two) of the following: mixed fresh fruit, sausage, breakfast potatoes, and one egg-any style with bacon.
They also have an allergy-friendly menu!
Trattoria al Forno was the site of the Bon Voyage Character Breakfast. Since the park reopened, the character dining has been unavailable. Characters seen here included your favorite characters from Tangled and Little Mermaid including Ariel, Prince Eric, Rapunzel, and Flynn Rider.
I’m hoping this character dining will come back to Trattoria al Forno soon!
