Snacking around Disney World just so happens to be one of my favorite things to do.
But, when it comes to EPCOT, there are so many different places to eat you might not know where to start! Luckily, you have a new food editor best friend — and I’m telling you exactly what you should always eat at EPCOT.
Liege Waffle
First things first — breakfast! Over at Connections Cafe and Eatery located in EPCOT’s World Celebration, we’re grabbing a Liege Waffle. At Connections Cafe, the Liege Waffle is made with brioche dough with pearl and powdered sugar. The Liege Waffle at Connections Eatery is made with Brioche Dough with Pearl Sugar, Strawberries, Whipped Cream, and Chocolate Sauce.
The waffle itself tastes a bit sweeter if you can imagine thanks to the brioche dough, and the combination of the strawberries, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce on the waffle from Connections Eatery might be what dreams are made of.
Fish and Chips
Get anywhere close to the United Kingdom Pavilion at EPCOT and you’re sure to smell the delicious, fried, scent of fish & chips from Yorkshire County Fish Shop wafting into your nostrils. It’s enticing enough to pull me straight out of line for a pint (okay, almost!)
This spot only serves up one thing, and they do it well: perfectly crisped strips of fish with hearty fries thick enough to soak up malt vinegar and ketchup. The shop also serves Bass Ale and Harp Lager to enjoy with your dish — and really, what more could you need?
Werther’s Original Gingerbread Salted Caramel Cookie Sandwich
The Werther’s Original Gingerbread Salted Caramel Cookie Sandwich can be found at Karamell-Küche in the Germany pavilion at EPCOT’s World Showcase. If you are a fan of gingerbread, this snack is for you!
This treat is made with two soft gingerbread cookies held together with thick buttercream icing and Werther’s caramel inside. You’ll find plenty of gingerbread flavor in the caramel cookie sandwich, with two BIG cookies. The icing has a perfect consistency (even for this icing hater), and the combination of the caramel drizzle and the cookie is to die for!
Popcorn
You’ve got two delicious options to choose from when it comes to specialty popcorn at EPCOT, and over at the Canada Popcorn Cart, you’ll find Maple Popcorn. If you don’t see it, the smell alone will lead you there: popcorn with unmistakable sweetness. It’s truly an ideal combo.
But, Caramel Popcorn at Karamell-Küche in EPCOT’s Germany pavilion is absolutely irresistible as well. What makes this popcorn so snack-worthy is the combination of sweet, salt, and crunch.
EPCOT is secretly a popcorn lover’s paradise!
Pretzel Bread Pudding
At Sommerfest in the Germany Pavilion, I love the Pretzel Bread Pudding. It’s made with leftover pretzels (like traditional bread pudding is made with leftover bread). It’s also topped with Caramel Butterscotch and a White Cream Sauce.
The main flavors with this soft Pretzel Bread Pudding are caramel and cinnamon plus a few other baking spices — but the caramel is really the standout flavor here. The white cream sauce tasted kind of like a crème anglaise — it’s very subtle and perfect if you love sweet and salty combos.
Seasonal Poutine
The Refreshment Port is located just outside the Canada pavilion. There’s really one reason to come here: POUTINE. French fries, gravy, and cheese curds — what more can you ask for?
Seasonal poutine is usually featured during the EPCOT festivals. This dish and its variations have put the Refreshment Port “on the map” for many guests, and these days you’ll often encounter a bit of a line for the popular snack.
Literally Anything at Les Halles
If you didn’t already know Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie was tucked away in the France Pavilion, you might miss it entirely — and that would be a tragic mistake. This bakery is full of delicious eats, both savory and sweet. You can get sandwiches, soup, salad, pastries, macarons and more. I like to order a bunch of different things and share them with my group (or just hoard them all to myself like the little snack goblin I am!)
At the end of the day, you might have different must-eat EPCOT treats on your list — and that’s okay! But, my opinions are never wrong, so keep that in mind too. Just kidding! Stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney World snack news, and check out more food reviews below!

I think your food suggestions are right on except I totally disagree with the fish and chips. We had to return 2 batches because it’s almost all hard greasy batter. Literally 1 of the worst meals I’ve ever had. No comparison to Raglan Road at DS.

Definitely need to add school bread!
Stella says
… I think you forgot the school bread.

Right on DFB! Love all of these and I would include the brioche ice cream sandwich in France! So good!! This article makes me want to be in Epcot today!

They handed me the liege waffle(during flower and garden festival last week) in it’s plastic wrapping. Was totally gross. Maybe it makes a difference with all that stuff on top. Also, if you’ve been in Maine or Northern New York and had real poutine, do NOT eat this version in Canada. Not good.
