Of all the Starbucks locations across the Walt Disney World Resort, this location might be my least favorite, but it's still a welcome addition to the park. In theory, this Starbucks ("Main Street Bakery") is in an excellent part of the park. It's located right on Main Street USA as you're walking into the Magic Kingdom, which serves as a great way to get that little boost of energy you'll need to carry you through the morning. In reality, it does give you that extra boost, but you'll probably end up waiting 10-20 minutes just to order, and the line can sometimes extend out the door during the busy parts of the day.
One thing I really appreciate about this Starbucks is its attempt to make a large corporate chain fit into the theme of small town America. Disney accomplishes this objective, as always, through the art of storytelling. I won't spend too much time explaining the story here, but the next time you're waiting in line, take a look around and seek out some of the photos and other details scattered throughout the bakery. The story is told in an effective but very simple way.
When it comes to food and drink here, Main Street Bakery is your typical Starbucks, serving coffees, teas, espressos, lattes, cappuccinos, frappuccinos, macchiatos, breakfast and mid-day sandwiches, pastries, cookies, scones, and more. The quality lives up to the Starbucks name, and I love how you can still earn Starbucks points (for those of you reward members like me) for dining here.
As with the other Starbucks locations across Disney, you'll also find the terrific merger of Starbucks quality with Disney service. The Cast Members here are always friendly, polite, and accommodating. Considering the number of Guests in line at any given time, the line moves pretty well, too.
Main Street Bakery might not be the best Starbucks location on property, but it is certainly a welcome addition to the park and has become a routine part of my Magic Kingdom morning.
