Now is a great time to plan a trip to Disneyland Resort because SO much is going on — and even more is coming soon.
Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary Celebration kicks off on May 16th and will bring new ride additions, brand-new attractions, the return of fan-favorite parades, and, of course, new eats and treats! But, even before the festivities kick off, we’re checking out some recently released snacks around Disneyland
New and limited-time eats just debuted around Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, so you know we had to check them out!
Edelweiss Snacks
We stopped by this snack spot for the Matterhorn Puff, which is filled with cheesecake, lemon curd, and fresh blueberries, topped with white chocolate and snow sugar.
This treat is absolutely delicious! There were SO many flavors going on, but in the best way. The cheesecake and lemon curd are a refreshing flavor together. It is served cold, so when you take that first bite, it has a cold bite to it, which makes it so refreshing!
There aren’t as many blueberries as we had hoped, but it doesn’t take away from how good this is. The white chocolate on the puff pastry adds a rich sweetness to the tart filling.
Tropical Hideaway
The Matcha Float is a DOLE WHIP made with strawberry and mango swirl, topped with white chocolate drizzle, and toasted coconut.
Matcha can be a divisive flavor, which is why we’re not sure about this one! The flavors are good individually, just weird when they’re all stirred up together. We liked the aftertaste more than the actual taste when we were sipping on it. We really wanted to like it, but it’s just not our favorite DOLE WHIP flavor.
Mint Julep Bar
Over at the Mint Julep Bar, we picked up the Pineapple Mickey Beignets for $6.49 — which basically sound like DOLE WHIP beignets to us. These are pineapple beignets with pineapple powdered sugar, and we just have to say WOW.
We were honestly surprised by how good these truly were! Fair warning, they are VERY tart. We were hoping they would have a pineapple-type filling, but looks-wise, they are your standard Mickey beignets. They’re nice and fluffy and are served warm. The flavor all comes from the pineapple powdered sugar.
There is so much flavor in the sugar that it tastes like a tart pineapple candy. It doesn’t taste fake or anything, but that first bite may give you a pucker!
Cozy Cone Motel 1
We were intrigued by the Banana Cone-Nanza Churros here. These are classic churros topped with banana cream and chocolate dust. Unfortunately, we did NOT love these.
The banana cream is like a whipped cream consistency, and honestly, it had a fake aftertaste that wasn’t very banana and was more chemical. The churro itself is pure perfection, but the whipped cream is a no-go for us. It would have been better if it were like a custard on top, or even in a dipping cup.
Aunt Cass Cafe
We stopped for the Strawberries & Cream Cold Brew at Aunt Cass Cafe for $7.29. This is a vanilla cream cold brew topped with strawberry cold foam.
This was really good and a fun combination! Super sweet and has more of a chocolate-covered strawberry taste to it. It’s also on the thicker side in terms of consistency — we would almost say it’s like a melted milkshake.
The strawberry foam on top is tart and offers a great addition to the vanilla cold brew. We liked the flavors together, but the coffee alone was too sweet, and the strawberry foam was too tart, if that makes sense. If you like trying interesting cold brews, then definitely try this one; however, it’s more on the sweet dessert side and not heavy on the coffee flavor.
Tiana’s Palace
More coffee? Yes, please! The Beignet-flavored Cold Brew is $6.29. You can get this with or without a cream topper, which we opted to get.
We were excited about this, and while it was good, we didn’t get beignet flavors at all. The taste was very familiar and sweet, and closer to Oreo or cookies and cream, if anything. The cream topper was tasty and sweet, and this will make most coffee drinkers happy, but there’s nothing distinctly beignet flavored here.
Red Rose Taverne
Next up is the S’mores Butter Cake Sundae, which you can grab for $8.49. This is a chocolate butter cake topped with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, graham cracker crumbs, and toasted marshmallow.
There’s not a single thing we don’t like about this, and you definitely get a s’mores flavor. Lots of chocolate is happening here, and it does overpower the dish at times. The marshmallows are actually toasted, so it’s safe to say you won’t be disappointed in that flavor — it really adds that nice smokiness. Not enough Graham cracker taste, though!
Various Outdoor Vending
You’ll find the Pull-apart Pizza Bread at various outdoor vending locations throughout Disney California Adventure, which you can pick up for $10.75. It’s filled with seasoned ricotta and topped with marinara sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni slices.
This thing may look small, but it’s PACKED with carbs, making it deceptively filling. The mozzarella is baked into the bread, which helps maintain a lighter, gooier texture. This was very, very tasty and soft.
It’s served very hot, making it great for when you’re on the go. The Hawaiian rolls are also really reliably tasty. It’s closer to cheese bread than actual pizza, but the pepperoni makes it the perfect cheese bread-pizza combo. It’s also perfectly shareable!
We’ll be on the lookout for even more snacks to review around Disneyland and beyond! In the meantime, make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest Disney news.
