REVIEW: EPCOT Festival Pros Know NOT To Skip These 4 Essential Locations!

Joffrey’s is once again serving up special drinks at the 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival!

World Discovery Joffrey’s

The 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has officially started, and we are SO excited. We’ve got you covered with everything you need to know, and now we’re heading to a few spots in particular — the Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company carts — to give you the FULL scoop! Are these drinks worth a try? Let’s find out!

Drinks

Joffrey’s at The American Adventure

At this location we checked out the Coconut Banana Cream Pie Latte: A comforting blend of espresso, milk, coconut syrup, and banana syrup garnished with whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes for $6.49. We’ve got some bad news about this one: we were underwhelmed. First, we love coconut and we didn’t really even taste it in the drink. However, you really don’t get a lot of banana flavor either.

Now, don’t get us wrong, it is a solid Joffrey’s latte, but the flavors just aren’t there. We think it could’ve used more pumps of flavor. The toasted coconut on top is a nice addition, but it doesn’t add enough. This is one drink we’d skip.

Joffrey’s Near Mission: SPACE in World Discovery

We checked out the Coconut Mocha Latte! This is a decadent blend of espresso, milk, coconut syrup, and dark chocolate sauce, garnished with whipped cream, toasted coconut flakes, and dark chocolate drizzle for $6.49.

We were expecting something like a Mounds bar in drinkable form, and this was close. The drink is very sweet, so you’ll need to be prepared to start your day with a sugary beverage. The flavor is very heavy on the mocha with a light coconut taste, especially with the coconut shavings on top. Don’t worry, though — it doesn’t taste like suntan lotion, like some coconut coffee drinks we’ve had in the past.

First things first, let’s caffeinate! The Joffrey’s locations across EPCOT have new drinks today including THIS:

The whipped cream on the top is lovely, too. If you love chocolate coffees, you’ll want to try this out as that mocha is really what stands out. However, if you tend to drink your coffee black, this might be too sweet for you.

Joffrey’s Near Canada

We made our way to the Joffrey’s near Canada to try the Hazelnut Mocha Latte, a nutty blend of espresso, milk, hazelnut syrup, and dark chocolate sauce garnished with whipped cream and dark chocolate drizzle for $6.49. So our reporter isn’t a big coffee drinker but was surprised by this drink because the hazelnut tones down the bitterness of the coffee and makes it more mild.

It’s not a super strong hazelnut flavor, but it’s just enough to balance the drink. The most forward flavor is the dark chocolate, so you’ve got a chocolatey hazelnut thing happening, which we don’t mind at all. The ice melts really fast, though, which waters down the drink. The cream also melts into the drink when it’s humid, so keep that in mind. But this is a coffee drink that even non-coffee people will like.

Joffrey’s Near Disney Traders

The Joffrey’s near Disney Traders along the World Showcase lagoon is serving up a PB&J Latte for $6.49. It’s a blend of espresso, milk, peanut butter syrup, and raspberry syrup, garnished with whipped cream. As PB&J fans, we were excited to give this one a go — so, what’s the verdict?

Well, first of all, we need to warn you that we had an interesting experience at this booth — which has a bee problem. As we were trying the latte, a bee apparently wanted to try it too and we ended up sucking a dead bee through our straw. The Joffrey’s employees were very nice and remade our drink for us, which was great! The latte itself was fine but we didn’t really get a whole lot of peanut butter syrup flavor. We did taste the raspberry which we liked, but we were hoping for more of a peanut buttery vibe. It seemed really light on the syrups, but it was still a refreshing iced latte!

Overall

If you’re looking for fun, refreshing drinks during the Food & Wine Festival, chances are you won’t be far from a Joffrey’s cart! You’ve got plenty of options this year, so make sure to check those menus as you make your way through EPCOT. Whatever kind of beverage you need, Joffrey’s has you covered.

That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
