Disney4me Posted March 4 Report Posted March 4 It’s officially time for the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival! If you’re overwhelmed by ALL the different snack options to choose from, don’t worry, we’ve tried them all, and we’re telling you which ones you NEED to have. Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade This year, the Flower and Garden Festival runs till June 1st, and we have the 2026 Best of the Fest right here at Disney Food Blog. Sit back, grab a notebook, and be prepared to be hungry! New Bests Tuna Poke Bowl at Nectar This bowl is made with edamame, avocado, mango, pickled red onions, seaweed salad, furikake, and umami sauce, all on top of sticky rice for $8.79. Poke Bowl at Nectar We really loved all the different elements on this dish and how they worked together. The tuna felt high-quality, and the rice was perfectly sticky. The veggies added a nice tang and crunch, and the whole bowl was great quality and value. It might be our new go-to lunch. Read our full review of Nectar DOLE Whip Peach at Swirled Showcase You know we love DOLE Whip, and this one was served in a cone for $6.29. Peach DOLE Whip We’re begging Disney to bring this back all year round. It’s light and refreshing and mildly sweet without being too much. The peach flavor tasted natural, and we could eat this again and again. Read our full review of Swirled Showcase Cinnamon Beignets at The Citrus Blossom This brand-new treat costs $5.29 and are cinnmon beignets tossed in lemon sugar, lemon glaze, and honey mead-blueberry compote. Cinnamon Beignets These are so easy to share and have a strong lemon flavor that was balanced by the honey mead-blueberry compote. We were super impressed that it had full blueberries in it, and the beignets were doughy and thick in the middle. Read our full review of The Citrus Blossom Garden Vegetable Flatbread at Trowel & Trellis We didn’t know we could love flatbread this much. It’s a flatbread featuring Boursin Crumbles Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese, with roasted vegetables and arugula salad for $5.59. Garden Vegetable Flatbread Look at this portion size for $6! The Boursin was creamy and complemented the vegetables well, and the whole dish felt bright and fresh. We think this might be our new go-to lunch for a while (well, Flower and Garden Festival always gives us lots of lunch options!). Read our full review of Trowel & Trellis Returning Bests Trio of Dips and Chips at Yacht Grub This trio of dips includes housemade potato chips with whipped feta dip and candied lemon, caramelized onion dip and caviar, and pimento cheese and pickles for $6.49. Trio of Dips and Chips We were so excited to try these again, and they did not disappoint. Each dip had its own unique flavor, and we loved the crunch and texture of the housemade chips. You seriously can’t go wrong with chips and dips. Read our full review of Yacht Grub Liquid Nitrogen Honey-Mascarpone Cheesecake at Swirled Showcase We’ve been talking about this for a few years, but in 2025, it got a liquid nitrogen upgrade to make it even better! It’s a cheesecake topped with fresh honey, granulated honey, and honey mead-blueberry compote for $5.49. Liquid Nitrogen Honey-Mascarpone Cheesecake This thing is SO good. The honey really comes through, and the cheesecake just melts in your mouth. The blueberry compote tastes fresh, and it subtly complements the cheesecake. Seriously, you need to add this to your “must try” list. Read our full review of Swirled Showcase Tarte Aux Oignons Caramelises at Fleur de Lys We seriously didn’t know a tart with caramelized onions on flaky pastry crust topped with bacon could be this good. It costs $8.25. Tarte Aux Oignons Caramelises This thing was packed with flavor! It wasn’t too dry or too creamy but was just the right texture. The bacon helped balance out the different flavors, and we could taste the spices coming through that helped mellow out the onion. It mixed together perfectly! Read our review of Fleur de Lys Best Plant-Based Dishes of the Fest Grilled Street Corn on the Cob at Beach Grub Yum! This corn is covered in a garlic spread and “cheese” (which is put in quotation marks because this is a plant-based dish) for $5.99. Grilled Street Corn on the Cob We always end up going back to this dish because of how fresh it tastes. They grill it right in front of you, and it is coated in delicious spices. It’s also so buttery that it literally melts in your mouth, and the added char just takes it to the next level. Read our full review of Beach Grub Best of the Fest for Kids Orange-Lemon Smoothie at Citrus Blossom This is a nonalcoholic drink that comes in an Orange Bird sipper for $15.49. Orange-Lemon Smoothie Served in a Souvenir Orange Bird Sipper It feels like drinking an orange sherbert which is kinda the best feeling ever. It’s nostalgic and fun, and we think kids will have a blast drinking this out of the Orange Bird. Read our full review of The Citrus Blossom Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade at Pineapple Promenade Yes, everyone is always talking about this drink, and yes, we are included. It’s made with Minute Maid Premium Lemonade with desert pear and violet syrups, and it costs $5.19. Frozen Dessert Violet Lemonade This lemonade is tart in the best way and super refreshing. It’s such a beautiful color and is popular amongst adults and kids. It’s perfect for those hot Florida days! Read our full review on Pineapple Promenade Best Booth of the Fest Trowel and Trellis Please give a big round of applause to Trowel and Trellis for winning DFB’s Best Booth of the Fest (which is a very hard title to get).
