19 Best Snacks at Epcot Disney World

19 Best Snacks at Epcot Disney World

The BEST snacks at Epcot are usually the ones you least expect. Lacking the fanfare of fancy treats at Magic Kingdom, Epcot still offers some tried and true treats we seek out every time we visit. Keep in mind that Epcot offers a World Showcase of culturally authentic foods and top-notch restaurants. Add in annual festivals that bring more food and drink options than you could imagine and you’re probably left wondering, “What Snacks does Epcot actually have?” 

Where to Find the Best Snacks at EPCOT

While we definitely feel like sometimes our trips to Epcot are just about finding food to eat, pulling together this list was a little tough! Especially if you normally only travel during festival seasons. Thankfully, the best snacks Epcot has to offer are in this list and available year-round at a variety of EPCOT Quick Service Restaurants and Kiosks around the park. So regardless of when you visit, you can plan on grabbing something delicious. We’re sharing the best sweet and savory snacks you can find at Epcot. 

Pretzel Bread Pudding at Germany EPCOT Park

Pretzel Bread Pudding | Sommerfest Germany

Oh my gosh, absolutely one of the best EPCOT Snacks that has come out recently. Of all the Epcot Snacks found in the Germany area in World Showcase, this pretzel bread pudding is one of the best! This pretzel bread is covered in caramel and sweet icing and makes the perfect cozy treat, you would expect to find in Germany. Even if you don’t like the idea of bread pudding, this one tastes more like a little cake, and is great for sharing. 

Werthers Popcorn | Karamell-Kuche Germany

There is nothing like the homemade-in-front-you Werthers popcorn at Epcot. Karamell-Kuche makes our Top 10 Things to Do at Epcot List, and for good reason. It’s one of our favorite places to visit every single time we visit. At most, we just stand in line wondering why we even bothered to eat anything else that day. Sure, there are tons of other snacks in the Karmell-Kuche shop, all worth your attention. But the popcorn has way more accolades on the whole. Covered in fresh caramel, the Werthers popcorn you get by waiting in line (not the pre-bagged kind on the shelf) is the perfect nighttime snack after a long day. We also love that it’s portable to bring on the bus or plane and always find ourselves buying some extra to take back home with us. Can be purchased with snack credits if you’re on the Disney Dining Plan. And makes the perfect high-protein breakfast snack if you’re skipping your morning meal. 

Caramel Butter Bar | Karamell-Kuche Germany

We’ll admit that Karamell Kuche, much like Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie has everything we like. Everything here is good. And this Caramel Butter Bar is one of the best. This is like a caramel stuffed shortbread cookie, like a blondie. So, you get double the shortbread and double the caramel. And it’s Werther’s freshly made caramel, so it’s ooey and gooey and sweet and warm. Definitely perfect alongside a coffee, we love this treat as a decadent snack, when you’re trying to make things extra special. Because it really should be savored. It’s so good.

Kakigori | Japan

One of the best things to eat at Epcot, the Kakigori is perfect for hot days in the parks. Cool and creamy, this large bowl of ice covered in fruit syrup and cream is a staple at Japanese festivals. Considered the “healthy” snack choice this dessert snack is actually more than just shaved ice. The combinations of flavors and cream make it slightly heartier than you’d expect. Plus, we love that it helps keep us hydrated and cool on those hot Florida days. Definitely more than just a pretty dessert, there’s a reason why the Kakigori cart always has a line. If you haven’t tried this one yet, get it on your list. We also love watching the Japanese Drummers while we hang out and enjoy this snack.

american dream epcot

American Dream | Fife and Drum America

Ahhh, the American Dream. As one of the first snacks we ever tried at Walt Disney World the America Dream tops our list of the best snacks at Epcot, every time. Yes, it’s simply blue raspberry and strawberry slushie with vanilla ice cream in the middle, served in a cup. But if you’ve ever been to a fair or a festival you know the claim that Creamsicles have on the childhood psyche. This is truly the perfect summertime drink and is only offered at Fife and Drum. Completely worth a snack credit. We’ve added this one to our Best Kid-Friendly Drinks at Walt Disney World list just because it’s that good!!! In fact, we always have cash on us for this drink just in case the machines are down. Because that did happen one time and, without cash, we were devastated. 

french macron at epcot ice cream sandwich

Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich | L’Artisan des Glaces France

Another go-to snack in Epcot is the amazing Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich in France. Lots of variations on ice cream flavor and macaron choice make this extra special. We love that it’s portable, and not too sweet. As an authentic snack, you’ll only find in Epcot France this treat is perfect. Not too big or small and won’t ruin dinner. A little fancier than a Mickey Bar, be sure to take pics of this treat, as it comes in fun tissue Parisian Newspaper wrapping too. This is light, delicious, and there are so many choices you’ll want to try all the mix and match flavors you can. 

Napoleon | Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie France

This little French cafe in the World Showcase is our favorite restaurant in the entire park. We regularly have breakfast here because the breakfast croissant options are amazing, and  the best you’ll get stateside. But if you’re looking some must-have snacks in France than the Napoleon is as French as it gets. This traditional Puff Pastry is layered with vanilla Cream and absolutely decadent. We highly recommend adding an espresso or champagne with this Epcot to really take it up a notch. And really, there are plenty of other desserts here to try if fruit or chocolate are more your thing. We also loved the Chocolate Mousse here. 

Ham and Swiss Croissant | Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie France

Okay, so we’ll be honest, we love everything at Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie. But this ham and swiss croissant is to die for! The pastry is super flaky and the cheese is perfectly melted. It’s large enough to keep you full but light enough to not make you feel weighed down. This is super comforting as a snack and works even better as a breakfast. absolutely one of our favorite Snacks. We get it at least once every time we visit.  

Croissant Donuts Cronuts | Connections Cafe

If you haven’t heard of croissant donuts, or cronuts, it’s simply a donut that is made with layers of pastry and then covered in sugar. How can this not be good, right? The best Croissant donuts on Disney property are found at the Connections Cafe ( aka Starbucks). They do sometimes have variations on flavors with fruit or chocolate. These little masterpieces are pretty much just dough and sugar, so they don’t really constitute a meal of any kind. But if you’ve grabbed your coffee and are looking for something to nibble while you stroll through Epcot, this could be it. 

Guacamole at epcot choza de margarita

Chips and Guacamole | Choza de Margarita Mexico

By far one the best snacks at EPCOT, is the bowl of guac and chips you can at Mexico. If you’re looking for a quick filling snack while waiting for a late dinner, head to Mexico in the World Showcase to visit this newer food cart, Choza de Margarita. The guac and chips are fresh, light, and portable. If you’re looking for something a little healthier that still feels like a treat, we like this snack best for days filled with lots of walking. We love this savory snack at Disney World that could also double as a light lunch. 

Liege Waffle | Connections Cafe and Eatery

To be clear, what makes the Liege Waffle one of the best snacks at EPCOT is that it’s a brioche waffle, which means it’s light, fluffy and almost tastes like danish dough. It’s covered in pearl sugar, then cooked in a cast iron pan, to ensure a crispy caramelized sugar layer. Then what really kicks it up a notch are the toppings. You can get this with a pearl and powdered sugar, strawberries, whipped cream and chocolate sauce. This little waffle also typically gets dressed up for the seasons too, so during Food and Wine Festival, you can get a specialty liege waffle, and at Halloween and Christmas too. 

disney snack school bread

School Bread | Kringla Og Cafe Norway

This Norwegian treat can help you be your best Elsa or Anna for a day in the parks. A soft sweet roll, the School Bread is filled vanilla cream and dipped in toasted coconut. This is a fan favorite, because it’s basically just a chunk of bread, and who doesn’t love that! It’s easy to nibble and share as you make your way around the World Showcase. 

Fish and Chips | Yorkshire County Fish Shop

Okay, okay, we’ll say this snack can also double as a lunch, and don’t you just love that! The Fish and Chips at EPCOT in the UK area can be found at the window of the Rose and Crown Pub. You get two pieces of beer battered fish, and chips ( aka french fries) wrapped in some “newspaper” from jolly Old England. If you’re looking to be transported to the British seaside, then this Epcot snack can help take you there. By far one of the best snacks at EPCOT for busy days, these Fish and Ships cost about $14 and is hearty enough to keep you full until your next meal. It’s all our best non-dessert snacks list for the best savory snacks at disney world. 

best snacks at epcot affogato

Espresso Affogato | Vivoli il Gelato Italy

This little hidden Mickey float is a dark espresso with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a cookie straw. We just love the rich hot coffee vs. cold ice cream flavors here. You also get whipped cream and cute vanilla wafer-like cookie ears. Definitely an overlooked Epcot treat and one of the Best Coffees at Walt Disney World. Often overlooked on many of the best snacks at Epcot lists, the gelato in Italy is some of the best. You can also grab this at the Gelateria Toscano quick serve counter. 

Eggs Rolls | Joy of Tea China

If you’re looking for a heartier snack at EPCOT that is still light, then head to the Joy of Tea kiosk in China. You can get pork or vegetable egg rolls, which are super flavorful and so good you will wish you had gotten more. You get two egg rolls in a dish and these are perfect as a grab-and-go snack at Epcot. Keep in mind that these egg rolls, are not spring rolls. They are deep fried, so that egg roll exterior is crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. 

banana pudding at regal eagle america EPCOT

Banana Pudding | Regal Eagle Smokehouse Craft Drafts and BBQ America

One of our favorite new Disney Quick Service Restaurants in EPCOT, the Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts and BBQ  has a banana pudding cup similar to the one that the famous Magnolia Bakery in New York makes. It’s definitely worth a try! It combines bananas, custard, and vanilla wafer cookies. Definitely, a treat if you’re looking for something light and sweet. By far one of the best snacks at epcot if you’re looking for something light and creamy. 

S’more’s Brownie | Regal Eagle Smokehouse America

If you love s’mores then you can mobile the s’mores brownie from Regal Eagle because this is definitely a brownie to write home about. This luscious brownie square is soft and chewy, with a layer of chocolate ganache ( for extra chocolate), a topping of toasted marshmallow fluff and then a chocolate bar piece on top of that. It comes in a dish, rather than a plate, which makes it clear it’s for eating up with a spoon and not necessarily a to-go snack. We say, grab this brownie and settle in at the picnic tables outside the restaurant to enjoy. 

Empanadas at La Cantina de San Angel EPCOT

Empanadas Con Queso | La Cantina de San Angel

By far one of our favorite meals at EPCOT are these empanadas at the La Cantina de San Angel can double as a meal, or be shared. They are filled with cheese, and have a savory seasoned empanada dough, that is just perfect. This dish comes with sour cream tomatillo salsa and a side of beans. We highly recommend this one. If you’d rather have these stuffed with meat, just head across the street to the Choza de Margarits stand, and you can grab something similar there. 

Baumkuchen epcot snacks

Black Forest Baumkuchen | Connections Cafe and Eatery

With all the best snacks at Epcot on this list we just couldn’t leave out one of the fanciest; the Baumkuchen. This German log cake, includes layers, and layers of thin cake, wrapped around a cylinder to look like the inside of a tree. This treat is then cut in half, and filled with whipped cream, black cherries, and chocolate drizzle. Very very decadent, this dessert is big enough to share and very much a showstopper dessert. 

How Much Do the Best Snacks at EPCOT Cost?

Snacks at Disney World can get pricey, and some of the best snacks at Epcot are technically also meals, but typically all Disney Snacks run between $5- $10 each, depending on what you get. And we’re sorry to say, the average cost of a snack is closer to $8. Yes, even a Mickey Ice Cream Bar. In fact, writing our Cheapest Snacks at Disney World post for snacks under $7 was quite the challenge. Some of the more “meal like” snacks on this list, like the Fish and Chips is closer to $14. But, then that price would be expected for the amount of food.
