Connections Cafe and Eatery is back at the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, featuring specialty festival-themed goodies!
The festival is officially underway with many attractions, food booths with tempting dishes, unique topiaries, exclusive merchandise, and concerts. We're here to guide you through it all! Let's see what Connections Cafe and Eatery is offering—is it worth a visit?
**Menu Highlights**
Connections introduces two new menu items this year: Lemon-Lavender Baumkuchen with lavender anglaise and Carrot Cake Liege Waffle with candied pecans and cream cheese icing. Returning from last year are the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich and the Blood Orange-Hibiscus Margarita.
**Tasting Notes**
The Lemon-Lavender Baumkuchen, priced at $6.29, is surprisingly soft with subtle lemon and lavender flavors—light and airy, almost like eating a cloud. Ideal for those who enjoy delicate flavors.
The Carrot Cake Liege Waffle, at $5.79, offers bold carrot cake flavor with plenty of pecans! Though it’s not freshly made, the taste is delightful, especially with the cream cheese icing.
Try the returning Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich for $13.19. In 2024, it wasn’t as spicy as expected; a solid option for fans of mild flavored sandwiches.
The Blood Orange-Hibiscus Margarita, priced at $15.50, is perfect for those who prefer a less boozy drink—it’s a pleasant, refreshing choice.
**Final Thoughts**
Both new items at Connections were enjoyable, though not extraordinary enough to go out of the way. However, carrot cake enthusiasts and lavender-lovers might find them worth trying. The Blood Orange Hibiscus Margarita remains a safe bet if you’re in the mood for something refreshing.
We're curious—what's your pick from this booth? Would you try any of these items? Share your thoughts!
