Start Your Day With Coffee
What better way to start a day off than with a specialty coffee? There are a few places to enjoy coffee when at Disney Springs. Starbucks has two locations in this area, one at Marketplace and one at West Side. If you aren’t a Starbucks fan then you can check out the Joffrey’s location at the landing. There’s also Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew at West Side where you can enjoy coffee and specialty donuts. Gideon’s Bakehouse is also well-known for their cold brews, with their Peanut Butter Cold Brew being quite famous.

Catch a Matinee Show at AMC Theaters
