Disney4me Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Who doesn’t love Brunch?! Come to think of it… who doesn’t love EPCOT? 2024 BRUNCHCOT Outdoor Kitchen The 2025 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival has officially begun and it has a LOT to offer. We’re discovering once again what happens when BRUNCH meets EPCOT at BRUNCHCOT. Located just steps away from Test Track in World Discovery, BRUNCHCOT is one of the Festival’s Outdoor Kitchens (also known as Food Booths). And we’re bringing you our review right here as we check out EVERY SINGLE BOOTH at this year’s Festival! Menu Over at the Brunchcot, you’ll find a variety of available items. The lovely Avocado Toast is back, along with the Fried Cinnamon Roll Bites, as well as the Biscuit and Gravy (featuring ingredients by IMPOSSIBLE). Brunchcot Menu The colorful Fruit Cereal Shake returns once again! Of-age guests who are in search of a little sweet sip can enjoy a Peach Bellini, or if you’re looking for something coffee-inspired, you can try the 3 Daughters Brewing Coffee Blonde Ale, which is new this year. ©Disney So, does BRUNCHCOT impress this year? Let’s find out… Eats The always Insta-worthy Avocado Toast is $6.25 and is topped with marinated tomatoes and plant-based cheese crumbles, all served up on toasted ciabatta. This dish is basically a Flower and Garden Festival CLASSIC at this point, and we keep coming back for more. It’s also a part of the Garden Graze, the plant-based food stroll through the Flower and Garden Festival. This plant-based dish is like a simple, classic avocado toast you can find at many breakfast restaurants, with all the salty, savory flavors we know and love. This made our Best of the Fest last year, and we’re excited to see if it brings those same beloved flavors! Avocado Toast The avocado toast was still yummy this year, and there were lots of other guests raving about this dish around us too! It is a great combination of fresh ingredients, all topped with plant-based cheese crumbles. It does have a note of avocado oil as well. While we think it could really benefit from a drizzle of balsamic, it is still tasty. Avocado Toast Returning this year as well is the Biscuit and Gravy dish for $6.75. Though this is a returning dish, there’s a bit of a twist to it this year. Last year, this dish was comprised of IMPOSSIBLE Chicken Fried Steak and IMPOSSIBLE Sausage Gravy. This dish features IMPOSSIBLE Sausage with pepper jelly. So, how does this year’s iteration measure up? Let’s find out! Biscuit and Gravy We were very impressed with the Biscuit and Gravy! It is a brown gravy that made us feel like we were almost eating a bacon gravy. The IMPOSSIBLE sausage and pepper jelly worked well together to make for a delicious dish! We wish there was a bit more gravy, though, as we ended up with a lot of biscuit in the end with no more gravy. The biscuit was a bit dense and dry without the gravy too. Biscuit and Gravy Returning from some previous festivals, we’re diving into we’ve got the Shrimp and Grits for $7.75. This classic southern dish is made with blackened shrimp and cheese grits with brown gravy and sweet corn salsa. The grits were nice and buttery, while the salsa was sweet with a little kick. Shrimp and Grits It doesn’t have a Creole heat to it, but you can definitely taste that the shrimp was blackened and there is a bit of low heat to it. The shrimp was plump, and the grits were fluffy. We were big fans! Shrimp and Grits Finally, a little brunchy dessert for those looking for a little something sweet. Let’s grab some Fried Cinnamon Roll Bites for $5.25. The Cinnamon Roll Bites come complete with cream cheese frosting and candied bacon (HELLO!). For the past few years, we’ve enjoyed this tasty treat as the perfect brunch-meets-dessert. But what about this year? Fried Cinnamon Roll Bites We are happy to report, that we are still lovin’ this dish! The combination of sweet drizzle with the sweet & salty bacon, and flaky dough is perfection. Yum! There is so much to love in this dish, and it still tastes wonderful this year. Fried Cinnamon Roll Bites Drinks Channel your inner child with the returning Fruit Cereal Shake for $5! This shake is made with vanilla soft-serve and fruit-flavored breakfast cereal. Fruit Cereal Shake This is a great one to grab for your own kiddo (it’s non-alcoholic, after all!), and be sure to steal a sip for yourself. It tastes just like slurping up the Froot Loops cereal milk, but if the milk was frozen into shake form. Fruit Cereal Shake Adults can pick up a traditional Peach Bellini for $11.50. You can never really go wrong with a Bellini, but it’s still worth mentioning that this drink is pretty basic and even a bit light on the peach, with an emphasis on sparkling wine. Obviously, there are more unique beverages you can pick up not just at BRUNCHOT, but all over the Festival. Peach Bellini If you’re more of a beer drinker, Brunchcot has a special option for you! New to the drink menu this year is the 3 Daughters Brewing Coffee Blonde Ale for $5.75 for 6 oz. or $9.75 for 12 oz. This beer is deep golden in color with a big coffee aroma. It’s noted to taste like a refreshing cold coffee flavor with moderate carbonation and a dry finish. OVERALL There is a lot to love at Brunchcot! Some of our favorites include the Avocado Toast and Fried Cinnamon Roll Bites, but we enjoyed everything we tried here. We were also super impressed with the Biscuit and Gravy and highly recommend this for a fantastic plant-based option. And kiddos will likely love the Fruit Cereal Shake you can grab here!
