When it comes to eating around Disney World, you’re likely thinking about all the Disney-specific snacks you want to grab. That’s great, don’t get us wrong, as they are unique to the resort, but if you’re traveling for a longer trip, you may find yourself looking for something more generic that reminds you of home a little more.

We know, you may be sitting there going, “What?! No, I’ll never get tired of the Disney food, that’s a big reason why I’m going!” We 100% get that, but take it from us — we’re in the parks EVERY day, and our team members who don’t live locally travel in pretty often, and they’ll tell you firsthand that if your trip is 5+ days, you’ll eventually be craving something normal. One of the best places to head for a generic sweet treat in Disney Springs is none other than Häagen-Dazs, even though this spot is often overlooked!

Atmosphere

Häagen-Dazs is located on the West Side of Disney Springs, and as it’s a kiosk, a lot of people walk right by it. Yes, these spots are located all around the United States, so grabbing a treat here isn’t a special Disney snack, but hey, if you’re craving good ice cream that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, this is a good spot!

There isn’t any designated seating for this spot, but there are community tables nearby. During busy seasons, it may be hard to find a spot, and there’s virtually no shade right nearby, so keep that in mind. We know there’s ice cream on the menu here, but what exactly can you get?

Menu

There are usually about 14 flavors on the menu here, and as for the different types of ice cream served, you can grab:

• Ice Cream Cups (Mini, Small, and Regular
• Dazzler Sundaes (Small and Regular)
• Build-Your-Own-Sundaes (Small and Regular)
• Shakes with Toppings (Small and Regular)
• Build-Your-Own Shake (Small and Regular)
• Assorted Ice Cream Bars
• Waffle Cones, Dipped Waffle Cones, and toppings are also available

And now, onto the main event — the food!

Drinks

We decided to grab a small of the Dark Cherry Truffle Milkshake for $9.75. We did order this with whipped cream, but it was unavailable during our visit. We really loved that the cherry flavor here was on the more genuine, tart side, rather than leaning artificial, and since the consistency of the shake is slightly thinner than others, it made it easy to drink.

The chocolate truffle pieces add a great, rich flavor that blends beautifully with the cherry — if you’re someone who loves this combination, we don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

Eats

We also grabbed a Mini cup of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream for $6.75, and this was packed full of cookie dough pieces and chocolate chips, which we appreciated. The ice cream itself was creamy and dense, though it will melt fast in the Florida heat. We think the mini is best for someone who just wants a quick treat, as it’s only about one scoop.

We also grabbed a Regular cup of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream for $8.75. The portion here was noticeably larger, but the quality of the ice cream wasn’t diminished by the larger size.

Again, though, since it does melt fast, this would be a size we recommend sitting down and eating right away.

Nosh or Not

This Disney World restaurant is a must-visit if…

• Guests looking for a quick, familiar dessert. If you want something that reminds you of home, or that you don’t need to worry about really savoring because it may be the only time you have it, this is a good stop.
• Those wanting something cold and easy to enjoy between activities. The treats here aren’t massive, and they’re reasonably priced, so we think it’s a good fit to grab quick as you’re walking around or during a small break between activities.
• Guests who prefer classic flavors over more experimental or themed offerings. Picky eaters, this is a great choice for you! The flavors are familiar, you won’t need to think too hard, and there’s something for everyone.

You should skip this Disney World spot if…

• Guests seeking unique, Disney-exclusive desserts. This is not the spot to find that picturesque, Disney-themed dessert, and if that’s what you’re heading here for, you’ll be deeply disappointed.
• Those looking for a more immersive or themed dining experience. There’s no Disney theming here, and really no theming at all, so if that’s a big proponent for you, we suggest checking out another spot nearby, like Goofy’s Candy Co.
• If you want a dessert that holds up longer in the heat. This will melt fast, as will most ice cream, so if you’re not a fan of that, or don’t want to potentially get sticky, perhaps look into other desserts like cookies from Gideon’s Bakehouse or Summer House on the Lake.

Overall

We’re glad this spot is in Disney Springs, and it’s easy to get to, as it’s a great addition to Disney Springs. It provides a familiar, reliable option for a quick dessert, and while it may not offer the uniqueness of other Disney Springs treats, its convenience, speed, and recognizable flavors make it a practical stop. Especially if you want a sweet treat fast!

In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for more restaurant updates from Disney World and beyond. Make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest Disney news and more!
