The Best Breakfast at Epcot – 10 Places You Need to Try

So, these are my top ten best breakfast locations at Epcot. You will find a variety of interesting options to choose from but I think any of these should meet your breakfast needs.

1. Garden Grill

Great for: The Disney Character Experience

Best Breakfast at Epcot - Garden Grill. Meeting Dale

I have had so many great breakfasts at Garden Grill over the years. The food served family style is great. The tear and share sticky bun bake (which is delicious) with coffee and juice. This is followed by a big tray filled with bacon, sausages, eggs, Mickey Waffles and potato barrels.

Located in The Land at Epcot this restaurant very slowly rotates so that you will get to see various parts of the Living with the Land ride which is located below.

As you make your way through the food more can be brought out for you if you want it. On top of the fantastic food at Garden Grill you also have the characters that come to meet you: Mickey, Pluto and Chip n Dale. I have always found Chip n Dale to be a lot of fun at this location and can really make your younger children laugh as they interact with them and make out they are hungry for the kiddo’s food.

The restaurant is also in a great location to get on Soarin’ Around the World if you can get a reservation for before the park officially opens. We have done this and walked straight on the ride at 9am, beating the crowds.

Note: Garden Grill is currently temporarily closed for breakfast but is expected to return in 2022.

2. Akershus Royal Banquet Hall

Great for: The Disney Princess Experience

Meeting Mary Poppins at Akershus - Best Breakfast at Epcot.

If you have some time to spare for breakfast at Epcot and you want to meet some Disney Princesses, then this is the restaurant for you. The food is pretty good but this location is really about the character experience and meeting the Disney Princesses.

You can meet Belle, Jasmine, Snow White, Ariel, Aurora and Mary Poppins. Do note though they do rotate which princesses appear. Great for any Disney Princess fans in your family especially if you can’t get a reservation at Cinderella’s Royal Table at Magic Kingdom.

Note: Akershus Royal Banquet Hall is currently temporarily closed for breakfast but is expected to return in 2022.

3. Trattoria Al Forno

Great for: The wonderful breakfast menu close to the park

Best Breakfast at Epcot - Steak at Trattoria Al Forno

Trattoria Al Forno is located at Disney’s Boardwalk which is only a short walk from Epcot and it has a fantastic breakfast menu. The steak and eggs here is fantastic and the Peach Bellini on offer too is quite the luxurious breakfast beverage but definitely worth treating yourself to when on vacation.

Trattoria Al Forno is an ideal location for breakfast when visiting Epcot as it is only a short walk and it can be great location to dine at before the park opens. This location is all about the fantastic breakfast menu on offer.

This food court located inside the Land building at Epcot offers a variety of different quick service style food and snack options. The main advantage of having breakfast here at Epcot is that is located close to Soarin’, Living with Land and the SeaBase building.

Sunshine seasons offers an easy and quick breakfast option is you need to stop. This can especially be the case if you have younger children who could do with some fuel for the rest of the morning inside the park.

7. Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe

Great for: A baked treat and drink before or after Frozen Ever After

Kringla Bakeri og Kafe is located right next to the Frozen Ever After ride. Here you will find the popular snack School Bread which is a Sweet Roll filled with Custard and dipped in Coconut. You will also find other Norwegian delights such as pretzel shaped pastries and cakes too. At this location you can also enjoy a Joffrey’s coffee and a Mickey cinnamon rolls too if you don’t fancy trying the Norwegian offerings.

Boardwalk Bakery is is ideally located for a breakfast bite to eat and a coffee before visitng Epcot.

Sausage, cheddar and egg sandwich
Spinach, feta and cage free egg wrap
Double smoke bacon, cheddar and egg sandwich

My Best Spots for the Best Breakfast at Epcot

Personally, I would have to pick Garden Grill and Trattoria Al Forno as my top 2 best breakfast locations at Epcot. Both restaurants serve delicious food that really fills you up for the day ahead.

The characters at both locations too (when available) make for great dining experiences too. The Family style food at Garden Grill is really good and I would also recommend the steak at Trattoria Al Forno.

You can’t go wrong if you pick either of these for breakfast when planning a day of fun at Epcot.

If you are looking for something quick I don’t think you can really go wrong with a quick coffee and pastry stop and this applies to all of the Disney World parks to be honest. A Mickey cinnamon roll and a coffee is enough to get fuelled up for a day of fun if we are in a rush to hit some of the rides early in the day.
