This place has gone to Starbucks! In September of 2013, Starbucks opened at the Market House following the opening of Starbucks first location at Fiddle, Fifer & Practical Café a year earlier. Since the opening at Market House, Starbucks has added two locations at either end of the Downtown Disney District.
My wife tends to be Snow White at Disneyland except when she hasn't had five gallons of caffeine ... then she is the 8th dwarf ... Crazy! One bright Saturday morning, "Snow White" and I were heading to Anaheim and I suggested skipping the local Starbucks stop and getting my lovely wife her caffeine fix at one of the locations on Disney property.
Rohlinism: Never get between addicts and their "drug" of choice!
After parking, riding the tram and getting past security, I thought the shorter line for caffeine would be at Fiddle, Fifer and Practical Café in California Adventure which turned out to be wrong. Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! The next thing I heard were those words, "This is your fault!" which is code for "Snow White" turning into "Crazy" the dwarf!
We quickly left California Adventure, entered Disneyland and made a bee line for Market House ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/market-house-anaheim?select=2X3H35zOWGKhEkoYD8Hbtg ) on Main Street USA. The line was daunting ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/market-house-anaheim?select=r-3rTW9DHxCasymEdFcV3A ) when we arrived, but the Disney cast members were efficient and the line moved rather quickly.
There are several difference between a "normal" Starbucks and the Market House. The menu ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/market-house-anaheim?select=hiVKz1OPwcl3Eqcpu8GnVg ) is abbreviated which makes the location a little more streamlined, the swag ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/market-house-anaheim?select=xskHdaICBE6b-rvkrPxWEg ) is unique and Disney-themed and so are some of the baked items ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/market-house-anaheim?select=9yC_d9DJB7r6mwSDwsvvlA ) in the display case.
There are also some similarities starting with the application. You can use the Starbucks application to pay for your purchase and you get stars for your purchases, but the application does take a while to update both your balance and stars. In addition, if you are a passholder, the discount basically covers the Disney uptick, so the drink prices are virtually the same as any other Starbucks. You order your drinks / food at the counter, move over to the drink station to await for your name to be called out. Once you get your drink, there is station right behind you ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/market-house-anaheim?select=k3LHuYU5tdkflTvrgAjNYA ) to add extras. There is a nice sitting area ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/market-house-anaheim?select=qqg3Xp3QXfupOV4QpO4PwA ) next to the drink station, but the seating is rather limited. There is an old wooden stove (non functional) in the sitting area and a checker board near the entrance of the Market House.
My wife ordered her standard Grande Iced Mocha and I wanted to try one of the unique cookies ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/market-house-anaheim?select=K-ecgF4Z539XrNHGyochUQ ) in the display case. The purchase was ready in a reasonable amount of time and my "Snow White" returned and "Crazy" the dwarf was given the rest of the day off!
My better half said her mocha tasted just the same as the drinks she would receive at her regular Starbucks locations. My shortbread cookie was nice and soft with just the right amount of sweetness from the strawberry filling.
The next time I feel "Crazy" the dwarf is going to make an appearance at Disneyland, I know I can count on the Market House to keep her in check!
