Welcome to the third bakery in our Disney World Bakery Throw Down: The Boardwalk Bakery!
Atmosphere
Located on the Disney World Boardwalk, the Boardwalk Bakery is within walking distance of many of Disney World’s hotels and attractions. It’s a great place to take a break from a day in either Epcot or Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Or just head downstairs from your hotel room at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn and Villas!
As you approach the bakery, the windows will remind you what’s available…
…and who’s responsible!
Along the windows, you’ll see several outdoor tables and chairs. Be sure to snag them quickly; this is the bakery’s only seating! Of course, you could always stroll along the boardwalk with your purchases and find seating along the way.
Head inside the double doors and you’ll be greeted by a small space bordered by baked goods and condiment counters. Look over the counter to your left, and you might see some Disney bakers making specialty items for one of the resorts, or even a wedding cake!
Eats
You’ll find options for any time of day on the Boardwalk Bakery menu, from breakfast baked goods to salads to sandwiches.
Refrigerators to your right will hold drinks, sandwiches, and salads:
The long glass display cases will be chock full of goodies and custom cakes:
And the bakers’ racks will be slowly filling up with freshly baked items:
While waiting for your order, take a peek at the wall behind those bakers’ racks to see the detailed images of baked goods painted on the tiles. As usual, Disney spares no expense when it comes to detail!
Also, take a few minutes to look beyond those counters and see some real bakers at work; this is one of the few places to see a real behind-the-scenes look at the type of baking that happens in Disney’s biggest, busiest, and most professional bakeries! I wasn’t kidding about that wedding cake I mentioned earlier — they really do make them here!

Man oh Man! This is such a hard choice… I LOVE LOVE the boardwalk bakery, maybe a bit bias as they gave me a free mickey cake for my bday. But it is so hard… I still havent voted…
Cant wait to see more 🙂
They gave you a free Mickey cake?! That’s fantastic! You’ve got two more bakeries to choose from coming over the next two weeks!
Yeah, i had my bday button on b/c i was looking for a cake, and i figured they would have it so i picked out the mickey cake, and later on my dad told me taht they didnt even make us pay for it… THEY EVEN gave a candle with matchs.
Well, that kind of bumps Boardwalk Bakery up in my estimation, eh?? That’s awesome!
everything looks delish! the carrot cake and cheesecake brownie are amazing. I love sitting on the boardwalk in the early morning with my bakery sweets!
We are going to Disney in Decemeber and it will be my husband’s first time, I was wanting to have the bakery make him a custom cake and have it sitting behind the glass. That way when we are looking at the cakes his will be there as a surprise. Does anyone know if they do this, or if they sit the custom cakes out like that? Thanks!

Its been 5 years since my last visit to WDW, and boy those cakes are so tempting, I may have to be trying some of those, and seeing if there as good as I remember them to be!! 🙂
