Nosh or Not
Stop by Eight Spoon Cafe if…
You need something quick. No waiting for Mobile Orders. No waiting for your table to be ready. Just walk up to the window, order, and get your food in minutes. We’ve rarely seen a long line here (and it’s not because the food isn’t delicious!).
You’re trying to snack around Animal Kingdom. People always talk about eating around EPCOT, but Animal Kingdom is also winning the snack game! If snacking is a huge priority for you, Eight Spoon is a must.
Your entire group needs dessert. Where else can you find 21 mini churros in one package?! Dipping sauces and all, this can fix everyone’s sweet tooth at once.
Skip Eight Spoon Cafe if…
It’s early or late in the day. Unlike the main quick service spots, Eight Spoon is NOT open all day. It only opens for a few hours in the middle of the day, so you’ll have to check the hours if you want to try it!
You want to please everyone in one stop. This snack stand has a limited menu, so it’s very possible that someone in your group will not like the options. Luckily, there are plenty of other snack stands around, but it will require another stop or splitting up.
You want to piece together a full meal. Some people are snackers and others are full-meal people. You won’t find cocktails or side dishes here, so if you like to piece together full meals, head to a Quick Service spot like Flame Tree Barbecue instead.
