When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. We often talk about the best (and worst) places to grab lunch or dinner, but we can’t forget about breakfast!

We recently stopped by Grounds at The Swan Reserve to check out the breakfast menu, and now we are bringing you our FULL REVIEW to see if it’s worth a visit at the start of your day. So let’s dive in! 

Atmosphere

This spot is a small coffee shop located at the most recent addition to the Swan & Dolphin resorts, The Swan Reserve. This spot has food, coffee, and drinks at a traditional coffee shop counter.

There is also a spot for grab-and-go options, and bottled drinks are available all day long.

There is a small sitting area inside, but also lots of seats on an outdoor patio by the pool and all throughout the rest of the lobby!

Now, let’s dive into the menu!

Menu

The breakfast menu includes a variety of breakfast sandwiches, waffles, egg bites, and other classic breakfast options.

There is also a variety of Espresso and Coffees (served both hot and iced) in addition to several specialty drinks, including shaken iced teas and smoothies.

And now, on to the main event — the food!

Drinks

To drink, we picked up the Iced Caramel Latte for $8. This was a traditional iced latte with caramel syrup, and it was quite delicious!

The coffee flavor was prominent without being too bitter, and the syrup added a lovely amount of sweetness that was not overpowering or sickly. There was also the perfect amount of milk, really making this an exceptionally well-balanced latte. 

 

Eats

First up, we grabbed the Popeye for $8.75. This is made with Egg White, Spinach, Flax, low-fat feta cheese, Olive Oil Harissa Spread on a Whole Wheat Wrap.

It’s safe to say we understand the name of this breakfast sandwich because the spinach flavor was extremely strong! So, if you love spinach, you’ll probably really enjoy this, but we did find it a little overwhelming. The eggs were cooked well, and the wrap was really easy to pull apart, without feeling flimsy.

We were hoping that the harissa flavor would be more prominent to balance everything and add a bit of spice, but that was not the case. Overall, this was a good sandwich, and if you can get behind all the spinach, it would be a great way to give you energy for your day. 

We also grabbed the Mickey Waffles for $7.50. These are classic waffles that come with Cinnamon Powdered Sugar and Maple Syrup. Overall, these were three basic Mickey Waffles.

Unfortunately, there was nothing unique about these waffles. They do come with cinnamon powdered sugar that we were excited about, but the cinnamon flavor did not come through. These are a great option for a breakfast on the go and something quick to start your day, but nothing special.

Nosh or Not

This Disney World restaurant is a must-visit if…

• You are staying at the Swan Reserve. If you are staying at this resort, this is a solid option for grabbing a good breakfast that will fuel you for your day in Disney.
• You need something quick. If you are looking to grab a super quick breakfast or even eat on the go, then this is an amazing option to grab some breakfast without taking up too much time in your morning rush.
• You want a great coffee. We were most impressed by the latte we tried, so if you love coffee and need some caffeine to start your day, then this would be the place to go if you’re staying at the Swan Reserve.

You should skip this Disney World spot if…

• You are not staying at the Swan Reserve. While this spot was good, it was nothing exceptional, and we would not recommend making a special trip over to the Swan Reserve just to eat breakfast at Grounds.
• You want a nice and luxurious breakfast. There are plenty of places around Disney World where you can relax and have a nice sit-down breakfast. So if that is what you’re looking for, we would suggest eating somewhere else.

Overall

This is a solid place to grab coffee and a bite to eat if you are staying at the Swan Reserve, but nothing we would recommend going out of your way to try on your next Disney World vacation.

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!
