Five Places For A Quick Breakfast In EPCOT

food and drink are allowed in the outdoor portions of a queue, so if someone in your group isn’t quite done you can get on the move and bring it with you. Many of the items below will qualify as snacks on the 2024 Disney Dining Plan.
Connections Café
Connections Café is EPCOT’s Starbucks outlet, serving Starbucks coffee and all your Starbucks breakfast favorites. You’ll also find a few location-specific items, including the layered Baumkuchen and a Liege Waffle with strawberries and whipped cream. (Menu here).

Connections Cafe is open for Early Entry, although the attached Connections Eatery doesn’t open until lunchtime. But we suggest that unless you are desperate, you will regret making a detour on your way to attractions like Test Track and Frozen that are on the left side of the park.
Sunshine Seasons
On the other side of Future World, Sunshine Seasons has a lone Ham, Egg & Cheese breakfast sandwich amidst a sea of pastries. The sandwich is quite worthy (it’s served on a croissant), and if you’re looking for more than carbs you can also get an assortment of fruit or yogurt parfaits. The coffee here is Joffrey’s if you are a coffee partisan. (See the menu)

Sunshine Seasons is a great strategic stop if you’ve chosen to head to Soarin’ during the first hour or so after the park opens to everyone. You can grab a bite here after your Soarin’ World Tour, take in the rest of the Land Pavilion, and head back out into the fray.
Kringla Bakeri og Cafe
Close to the World Showcase entrance, in Norway, is Kringla Bakeri og Cafe. Kringla is a long-time favorite of WDW regulars and the School Bread is on many “best snack” lists. Don’t make the mistake of thinking it’s just bread – it’s the custardy center that turns this into a full-on breakfast option. (Kringla’s whole menu is available all day.)

Kringla Bakeri’s coffee is from Joffrey’s, and you can get it fancied up frozen with chocolate sauce and coffee-chocolate crunch if you are so inclined. If the Norwegian bakery selections don’t tempt you then this is the place to pick up your Mickey cinnamon roll that’s shaped like a Mickey head. (See the menu)
Kringla Bakeri og Cafe is open for Early Entry, but we suggest getting in line for Frozen Ever After first. If the line for Frozen is already very long and extends outside, you could send one person to make a calculated dash from the line and bring back a few pastries to share around. You’ll want to be confident of your timing on this.
Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie
Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie is the first of our last two options, both in France. Patisserie is in the name, and you’ll definitely find plenty of yummy pastries and sweets. Eclairs for breakfast? You are on vacation, right?

Les Halles offers its entire menu right from park opening, so you’ll also find plenty of sandwiches with ham, bacon, or cheese in them to balance out the carbs. If you want something with protein that screams breakfast, the Croissant Jambon Fromage (Ham, Cheese, and Béchamel in a Croissant) is a great pick. (See the full menu)
Crêpes à Emporter
Similar to Les Halles, Crêpes à Emporter does not officially serve breakfast. However, it opens right with the park’s regular hours, and you can eat crepes any time of the day. (Trust me on this.) Crêpes à Emporter offers both crepes and gallettes. The crepes hold down the sweet side of the menu and the savory (read: protein in evidence) side is covered by the gallettes. One thing to know that may affect your choice here: there is no coffee on the menu. (See the menu)

Other Options
EPCOT has four Joffrey’s carts located inside the park, and one outside the main entrance. The menu is mostly coffee, but you’ll find some pastries available throughout the day. And if you’re visiting during an EPCOT Festival, most of the kitchens don’t open until 11 am. But there’s always one that opens with the park’s regular hours, serving breakfast options that aren’t on the official Festival menu.
