There's a lot to talk about in my review of Mint Julep Bar, but first and foremost, come here for the beignets!!! You cannot come here and not get the beignets!
Okay, now for a more in-depth review! First, you can order through the Disney app. This will save you so much time! The line was so long when we arrived, and instead of standing in the queue, we were able to sit down and enjoy the ambiance while we waited for the notification. One thing to note, though, is that some of the pickup counters are hidden behind the line. If you have trouble finding it, ask a cast member because it took me an embarrassing amount of time to find the window. The pick up window is labeled 1, 2, or 3, but the lettering is really hard to see. While we were waiting, there was a live band playing, which definitely added to the theme and experience! It was so festive sitting in the covered outdoor patio.
We ordered the blueberry mint julep, which my friend really liked. It has floating blueberries and a strong mint flavor, so just keep that in mind in case you don't like mint like me. We also ordered some of the original beignets to try! I wanted them plain, and Tiana's place only had the flavored versions, so I'm glad the Mint Julep Bar had them. Unfortunately, they gave us the grape flavored ones by mistake; but we told them, and the employees were so nice about it and let us keep the grape ones but also gave us the original! Great customer service! The original beignets were good, though I'm not sure I entirely understand the hype. The grape ones were not very good, they taste like artificial grape candy.
Overall, come here to enjoy some beignets, to take a break from the park, and to listen to live music!
