Advantages:
- The same high quality(?) Starbucks food and beverages available all over the world
- Every size drink is a snack credit
- Pricing isn’t higher than most other Starbucks
Disadvantages:
- No cinnamon rolls and most items historically available have been replaced by their Starbucks counterparts
- No seating
- Waits for drinks can be longer than expected
Value: A venti or trenta drink for a snack credit is a terrific value on the Disney Dining Plan. Many people expect Starbucks pricing to be much higher than the “real world” but it’s in line with most domestic markets.
Reputation: Some people love the arrival of Starbucks coffee while others lament the loss of the cinnamon rolls and other baked goods.
Seating:
None inside. For the sake of efficiency, there’s no room with the two independent lines. Continue up Main Street and there’s plenty of seating on your right outside the Plaza, though walls currently block the view.
I make it a point to stop in here every visit for a treat. Mom and I had lunch here the last time. We liked the turkey and cheese sandwich wedge and it doesn’t look like much but it is very filling and was very good. That and a fruit tart! Oh yes, I love love love the fruit tarts. The cinnamon roll is okay too, but I don’t get all the hype over it. It’s just a cinnamon roll with tons of gooey sugary glaze.
On at least one morning during each vacation, my family makes it a point to eat breakfast from Main Street Bakery. The cinnamon rolls and breakfast croissants are always perfect. We have found the fruit to be a bit hit-and-miss. We enjoy eating our food at the tables near Casey’s so we can watch people pouring in and listen to the trolley show.
The nice thing about getting a sandwich at the Main Street Bakery is if you’re on the dining plan. My understanding is you can get any one of those yummy treats for dessert. Do they still have the tomato & mozzarella sandwich?
One of my favorite memories from our last trip in Nov. 2011 is my 12 year-old son sitting on the curb on Main Street waiting for the afternoon parade. He’s eating a chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich with a smile of pure satisfaction. It made the best picture. Definitely one of the best uses of a snack credit!!
