Last updated on September 29th, 2025 at 12:23 pm

Rise and dine it’s breakfast at Disneyland time! Come and eat Mickey waffles, pastries, eggs, bacon and all the deliciousness breakfast has to offer at Disneyland Resort.

Breakfast at Disneyland is more than fuel for the day, for me it’s truly part of the magic. From coffee stops on Main Street to savory breakfast burritos and sweet treats to eat—here’s your complete guide to breakfast at Disneyland Resort.

I’ll go over:

• Where you can grab a quick bite to eat and take it on the go to hit more rides in the morning.
• Quick service breakfast where you want to sit for a bit and enjoy, but no reservations needed.
• Sit down dining for breakfast including classic Disneyland breakfast spots and character dining.

This article was originally published in 2019, I update it regularly so you can have the best breakfast eats for your trip.

Grab & Go Disneyland Breakfast Options

Putting this list right at the top so you can screenshot it, grab it and go just like the food! Here are my top choices for breakfast.

Grab and Go Breakfast in Downtown Disney

• Jamba mobile order on the Jamba app for smoothies and bowls, especially if you’re walking over from one of the Disney hotels—this is right on your way. This spot is my top recommendation for breakfast on the go in Downtown Disney.
• Sip & Sonder at the far west end for coffees, lattes and more but be aware they might not open in time for rope drop.
• Starbucks opens before the parks, just get there early before the wait times are too crazy!

Grab and Go Breakfast in Disneyland Park

• Coffee Spots, complete with a map are listed in this article all of its own.
• Fresh Fruit including delicious and always-fresh pineapple in Bayou Country Fruit Cart, Good Boy! Grocers in Toontown, Fantasyland Fruit Cart, Main Street, U.S.A. Fruit Cart, Ship to Shore Marketplace, Tomorrowland Fruit Cart and Tropical Imports.

• Galactic Grill in Tomorrowland has mobile order breakfast burritos and sandwiches you can take on the go. 
• Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe on Main Street has mobile oder picks like a yogurt parfait, muffins and other seasonal treats that double as breakfast and dessert. This spot is my top recommendation for breakfast in Disneyland Park.
• Maurice’s Treats in Fantasyland, on the left before the castle by Fantasy Faire has breakfast danishes and savory breakfast options to eat on the run. 

• Milk Stand in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge for blue or green milk dairy-free smoothie.

• Mint Julep Bar in New Orleans Square for warm, fresh powdered-sugar-covered beignets. Be sure to mobile order in advance and grab napkins!
• Ship to Shore Marketplace in Frontierland by the Mark Twain Riverboat has the famed breakfast chimichanga but you’ve got to get there early to make this one happen—they sell out quickly each morning.

Grab and Go Breakfast in California Adventure

• Cappuccino Cart in San Fransokyo Square, you’ll pass this if you’re on your way to Pixar Pier. They have lots of coffee option and some basic croissants. 
• Coffee Spots, complete with a map are listed in this article all of its own.
• Cozy Cone Hotel 1 in Cars Land is one spot you can get churros earlier in the morning, they usually open with or an hour after park opening and offer mobile order.

• Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Cafe on Buena Vista Street is your Starbucks coffee stop, they also have muffins, wraps and breakfast sandwiches. 
• Fresh Fruit including delicious and always-fresh pineapple at Fairfax Market in Hollywood Land, Fillmore’s Taste-In in Cars Land and Mortimer’s Market near the park entrance.
• Schmoozies! in Hollywood Land has mobile order smoothies for the win! I am a smoothie addict, seriously make my own every day for breakfast at home so this always hits the spot.

• Shawarma Palace in Avengers Campus has breakfast shawarmas to-go!
• Smokejumpers Grill in Grizzly Peak, just to the right after you enter through Buena Vista Street has mobile order breakfast burritos and sandwiches you can take on the go. 

Disneyland Quick Service Breakfast 

I love a good quick service breakfast at Disneyland Resort, where our mood dictates the time we commit to this meal. We typically go on rides for the first 90-120 minutes of park opening and then grab something to eat. I’ll place a mobile order for our group while we’re in line so we’re all having fun and have a delicious meal to look forward to. 

At Disneyland Park

• Jolly Holiday Bakery on Main Street, U.S.A. This is my top breakfast recommendation in Disneyland Park, I am forever telling people to go here. And whenever I see/hear other guests debating (or wondering) where to eat, I alway say you can’t go wrong at Jolly Holiday. It is on your left at the end of Main Street (when you face the castle) with yellow umbrellas. Raspberry macarons, croissant sandwiches, cinnamon rolls and a variety of caffeinated drinks are all a hit, time and time again with our crew. There’s also plenty of seating and beautiful scenery with the castle and Matterhorn in the distance.

• Red Rose Tavern in Fantasyland is my second favorite quick service breakfast in Disneyland. Mobile order something for your family like Mickey pancakes, breakfast platters or french toast sticks.

• Ronto Roasters in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is where you want to eat when you’re headed here for the first rides of the day. They have a yummy breakfast morning wrap with scrambled eggs, grilled pork sausage, shredded cheddar, and peppercorn sauce, wrapped in pita. Surround yourself with the force as you chow down on planet Batuu. This is a fan-favorite!

Sit Down Breakfast at Disneyland

Another advantage to breakfast at Disneyland is it pushes lunch back an hour or more which means you’ll be ready for lunch (and dinner) at non-peak hours. Less waiting in line and more delicious food options. 

Reservations for Breakfast at Disneyland

• Carnation Cafe on Main Street, U.S.A. In the middle of Main Street, U.S.A., on your left hand side if you’re heading toward the castle is Carnation Cafe. If you’re a Disney history buff, you must eat here.
• Plaza Inn Character Breakfast with Minnie & Friends. Plaza Inn on Main Street stands out with its pink umbrellas and is the only option for a character breakfast inside Disneyland park. “Minnie and Friends” serves made-to-order omelets and a full breakfast buffet. Disneyland admission is required and reservations are recommended. Read more about Plaza Inn Breakfast here.

Reservations for Breakfast at California Adventure

Lamplight Lounge has made an entrance in the breakfast corner! And it’s a big entrance. Now my favorite breakfast spot in all of Disneyland Resort, it’s a must try. Get all the Lamplight Lounge Brunch info here.
