2. Cheshire Café: A Whimsical Start to Your Day
Located near Fantasyland and Tomorrowland, the Cheshire Café offers a magical morning pick-me-up. Open from 8 a.m., this quick-service spot is famous for its Cheshire Cat Tail ($5.79), a twisted pastry filled with chocolate chips and drizzled with colorful icing. Pair it with freshly brewed Joffrey’s Coffee, cold brew, or a cup of Twinings Tea to get your day started right. Enjoy your treat near the Mad Tea Party, adding to the whimsical atmosphere.
3. Gaston’s Tavern: Warm Cinnamon Rolls Await
If you love a good cinnamon roll, then Gaston’s Tavern in Fantasyland is a must-stop on your morning adventure. After rope-dropping Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, head over to indulge in a warm, gooey cinnamon roll for $6.79.

This tavern’s rustic charm makes it a cozy spot to relax before diving into more park adventures.
4. Main Street, U.S.A. Bakery: Grab Your Starbucks Fix

Located right as you enter the park, it’s a convenient stop to grab a quick bite before hitting the attractions.
5. Westward Ho: A Frontierland Favorite
If you prefer a late breakfast, head over to Westward Ho in Frontierland after 9:30 a.m. Here, you can enjoy Wendell’s Bear Claw ($6.29)—a tribute to Country Bear Jamboree’s Wendell.
