Florida Fresh The 2025 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival has officially begun and it has a LOT to offer. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, unique topiaries to check out, merchandise to grab (of course), and even concerts to watch. But don’t let it overwhelm you, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading to one spot in particular — the Florida Fresh booth — to give you the FULL scoop! Is it worth a try? Let’s find out! Menu Over at Florida Fresh, you’ll find a variety of available items, some new and some familiar. Florida Fresh Menu Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself! ©Disney Eats First up, we grabbed the new item on the menu, the Conch Fritters for $6.50. The Conch Fritters are served with key lime aïoli. Conch Fritters with key lime aïoli The fritters were golden on the outside and tender on the inside — just the way you want them! We tasted lots of pepper and garlic notes. The fritters are tasty, but the key lime aïoli is the star of the show! We would describe it as a sour cream dip with a key lime twist. It is tart and the perfect accompaniment. Conch Fritters with key lime aïoli Ready for something sweet? Let’s dig into the Florida Strawberry Shortcake for $5. This is a vanilla pound cake, macerated strawberries, strawberry sauce, and whipped cream. Last year, this booth had a similar option, but it was plant-based. This year’s version is not indicated to be vegan, but we’re still hopeful that it’s tasty – let’s find out! Florida Strawberry Shortcake The pound cake was wonderfully buttery! The whipped cream was definitely not store-bought, and we loved how fresh it tasted. Getting a bit of whipped cream, cake, and strawberries in each bite led to perfection. We will definitely be back for some more strawberry shortcake at Florida Fresh! Pro tip — the strawberries dipped in the key lime aïoli was amazingly yummy! A dipping sauce of many talents! Florida Strawberry Shortcake Returning this year is an item that we really enjoyed last year! Mojo-marinated pork belly, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and stone-ground mustard sauce are all coming together for the Cubanito! Grab it for $6.75. Cubanito Last year, the bread was toasted well and even had a bit of crunch to it. The sandwich was full of meat, and we loved the tang from the pickle and mustard. Drinks Raise a glass of Cucumber-Watermelon Slushy for $5. When we had this drink last year, we found it a bit basic. We did like that the watermelon did not taste artificial. We could also taste the cucumber, which brightens up the drink and makes it fresh. You can also add some gin to transform this into a cocktail for $13. Cucumber-Watermelon Slushy Finally, on the menu are the new beers. Brewery Ommegang Melon Falls Watermelon Kolsch, Orange Blossom Brewing Co. Starlight Papaya Pilsner, and Southern Tier Brewing Co. Strawberry Shortcake Imperial Ale. You get individual pours for $5.75 or grab all three with the Beer Flight for $10.25. OVERALL This booth brought its A game with the new dishes — Conch Fritters and Florida Strawberry Shortcake. We really enjoyed both of these dishes. The key lime aïoli elevated the conch fritters to the next level, and we couldn’t help but fall in love with the flavors and freshness of the strawberry shortcake. We also enjoy the Cubanito and the Cucumber-Watermelon Slushy, but the Conch Fritters and Shortcake were the stars of this booth!
