It’s happening! The EPCOT’s 2025 Flower & Garden Festival has officially kicked off!

We’re talking about the Northern Bloom booth — one of the Outdoor Kitchens (also known as Food Booths) at the park’s springtime celebration! Stop here while enjoying the Festival’s famous Disney topiaries, garden displays, and entertainment. Join us as we review Northern Bloom to see if it lives up to its reputation as a deserving fan-favorite booth once again this year.

Menu

At Northern Bloom, most items are returning, but this year also brings us one new beer. We can’t wait to dig into the Seared Scallops. There’s also a good selection of beers here, including a Beer Flight.

We can’t wait to dig in!

Eats

Returning to this booth this year are the Seared Scallops. These are served with French Green Beans, marble potatoes, and bacon vinaigrette! Yep, you read that right, BACON vinaigrette! Grab the Seared Scallops for $8.

We really enjoyed the Beef Tenderloin Tips in the past as well. You can get them for $7.75 this year. They pull apart really easily, just like a pot roast would. This dish has a lot of flavor, and we also thought the meat had a nice, tangy flavor to it. The mashed potatoes had a lot of butter! We could even taste the buttery goodness underneath all of the sauce.

The Chocolate Maple Whisky Cake was a rich chocolate cake with maple and whisky sauce.

LOVE! The Chocolate Maple Whisky Cake was wonderful! It was gooey, decadent, and chocolatey. The cake was moist and easy to cut into. It was all the best parts of dessert! Grab the Chocolate Maple Whisky Cake for $4.75.

Drinks

At a previous festival, we grabbed the Collective Arts Brewing Grapefruit Lime Sour and the Florida Orange Groves Sparkling Blackberry Wine.

The Collective Arts Brewing Grapefruit Lime Sour was tasty! We would describe it more as a hard cider, but we did enjoy this one! You can sample it for $5.75 for a 6 oz and $9.75 for a 12 oz.

And finally, the fruity wine, the Florida Orange Groves Sparkling Blackberry Wine. This wine could be a bright and crisp delight or could be a fruit-flavored cough syrup in disguise. So, which side of the spectrum does this wine lean toward?

The Florida Orange Groves Sparkling Blackberry Wine is a nice, sweet blackberry wine. The wine itself is not super heavy on the alcohol and it is very palatable. We think this would be a great wine for walking around the World Showcase and sipping on! You can grab it for $12.

OVERALL

Northern Bloom is such a classic booth at this festival, and it’s one that we enjoy year after year. You can’t be the scallops with the bacon vinaigrette and the beef tips are such a hearty option. While there aren’t many exciting new things here, it’s still a solid option!

That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
