[Charlie]

We’re eating our way through the 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, and we’re taking you along with us!

Line at Swirled Showcase


This year, in addition to all the food booths, there is new merchandise, fun activities, and exclusive entertainment (like the Garden Rocks concert series!). We’re here to see and do as much as possible. What’s next on our to-do list? Going to Swirled Showcase for another food review!

Menu​

While Swirled Showcase is available year-round in EPCOT, it gets special limited-time menus for each festival, so make sure to stop by and see what seasonal treats are available during each one! For Flower & Garden, they’re serving up three different soft serve flavors — vanilla, blueberry, and DOLE Whip Peach. Sounds DELISH.

You can also order lemon sorbet or the popular Liquid Nitrogen Honey-Mascarpone Cheesecake. Let’s get to eating!

Eats​

Starting out with the Vanilla Soft Serve, we’ve had this one in the past, and this year you can get it for $6.29. It’s decently creamy and has a nice vanilla flavor, and it’ll do the job if you’re craving ice cream. You could also try the Blueberry flavor — it’s also returning.

But the big one? You can now order DOLE Whip Peach here! A cone of this is $6.29, and it was LOVELY.

Peach DOLE Whip


This is light and refreshing, mildly sweet without being too much. The peach flavor was surprisingly natural-tasting, and we would totally order this again and again. Can we get it here year-round?!

For another fruity treat, we grabbed the returning Lemon Sorbet in a Waffle Cone for $6.29.

Lemon Sorbet


It reminded us of lemon ice that you get from baseball games, with its tart flavor and strong lemon-ness. It was also lightly sweetened, but managed to retain its fruity base. Also, if we could give one piece of advice — get these flavors in a cup instead of a cone! The cones were SO messy. Napkins galore, you guys.

And to wrap it all up on the food front, you KNOW we had to snag the Liquid Nitrogen Honey-Mascarpone Cheesecake with fresh honey, granulated honey, and honey mead-blueberry compote. This is $5.49 and has been a popular item at the festival in the past, but it then got the liquid nitrogen upgrade in 2025.

Liquid Nitrogen Honey-Mascarpone Cheesecake


This was INCREDIBLE. The honey really came through, and the cheesecake just melts in your mouth. The blueberry compote is house-made, and it was subtle and complemented the cheesecake well. Plus, this was MUCH more visually appealing than some of the liquid nitrogen treats we’ve had in the past here.

What about the beverages available?

Drinks​

First off, the Central 28 Beer Company Elderflower Pale Ale is returning. You can get one of these for $PRICE.

But, if you really want to level things up, you can order the returning Lemon-Elderflower Float for $PRICE. It’s made with the Central 28 Beer Company Elderflower Pale Ale, plus lemon sorbet. When we had this in 2025, we were shocked by how much we enjoyed it since the lemon complemented the beer really well.

So, should you go to Swirled Showcase for Flower & Garden?

OVERALL​

You guys, Swirled Showcase was popping OFF this festival! We were so pleased with all three treats we ordered this time, and this is probably a must-visit for the amazing cheesecake and the rare peach DOLE Whip flavor. Just make sure that if you’re visiting this stand, you have your napkins and wet wipes ready. This is one festival spot that we always have to basically SPEEDRUN our review for, simply because everything melts so quickly.
