When you’re deep in the Disney “magic zone,” a good cup of coffee feels like a little lifeline between rides, shows, and park hustle. Whether you need a jolt first thing or a calm moment mid-afternoon, these cafés near Disney are perfect for recharging. Plus, I’ll drop in some links to other Orlando Treasures guides you’ll love exploring!
☕ The Best Coffee Spots Around Disney
1. Gideon’s Bakehouse (Disney Springs)
This place is legendary for its massive cookies, creative flavor combos, and rich espresso pours. If you’ve seen Instagram photos of towering cookie bars next to artisan lattes — that’s Gideon’s magic.
Pair your coffee with a cookie for a treat that’ll power you through another hour of park adventures.
2. Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Co.
You’ll spot Joffrey’s kiosks all over Disney parks, resorts, and Disney Springs. They’re super convenient for a themed drink right in the middle of your day.
Pro tip: check your resort or park map for hidden little Joffrey’s corners that are less crowded.
3. Foxtail Coffee
A local favorite just outside of the parks. It’s got a relaxed café vibe, well-brewed beans, and it’s a nice escape when you want to step out of the frenzy for 20 minutes.
This is the kind of spot where you can sit back, check your photos, and plan your next ride.
4. Craft & Common
A bit further away, but worth the drive if you want specialty lattes, seasonal blends, and a hip but cozy space.
I love this one for mornings when I want to ease in slowly rather than rush to rope drop.
5. Lineage Coffee
Known for unique seasonal drinks, warm interiors, and just the kind of ambiance that makes you pause and savor.
It’s ideal when you’re between park days or want a local feel instead of theme park energy.

💡 Tips for Coffee Lovers on Disney Days
- Go early — most cafés open before the parks, so grab your brew before the rides begin.
- Avoid peak breaks — try to get your coffee between 10–11 a.m. or around 3–4 p.m., when people swarm snack stands and lines are worst.
- Check café hours — some smaller cafés open later or close early, so always double-check before you plan your stop.
- Bring a reusable cup — many of these cafés may refill or offer a small discount, and it’s better for the planet too!
- Pair with snacks — Gideon’s, especially, does coffee + dessert combos that give you energy for the next wave of attractions.
