Update: September 2, 2026
Connections Café and Eatery is a fast-casual Quick Service restaurant (and home to Starbucks coffee) in EPCOT’s World Celebration!
The Connections Café side is home to Starbucks in the park.
Connections
When Connections Eatery first opened, it served a more global menu. Now, the items are simpler, including an American Classic Cheeseburger. Salads include a General Tso Chicken Salad and a General Tso Tofu Salad.
Craving pizza? You’ll find a House-made Pepperoni Pizza and a House-made Cheese Pizza, plus a Kids’ Menu.
Ready for dessert? The spot features Liege Waffles made with brioche yeast dough stuffed with pearl sugar and finished with sweet toppings. Chocolate Baumkuchen is also an option.
The location features nods to EPCOT’s history.

Dine at Connections Cafe and Eatery if…
You want something quick to eat near the front of the park. While we normally recommend dining in the World Showcase for a more unique experience, sometimes you need something before you make it all the way back there. Connections Eatery is a great option!
You’re looking for familiar eats in a casual setting. The menu is primarily burgers, chicken sandwiches, pizza, and salad, which can be excellent for picky eaters or if you’re just looking for familiar food.
You want to dine in the World Celebration area of the park. If you’re looking to stay close to the old “Future World” to be nearby most of the rides in the park, Connections Eatery fits that bill and won’t leave you disappointed.
Skip this cafe and eatery if…
You’re looking for a meal that’s a little more unique. You’re at EPCOT, which means there are a TON of quick options found throughout the World Showcase, and if there’s a festival going on, you have even more options! You can likely find the foods at Connections Eatery somewhere local to you, so use this as an opportunity to branch out.
You want a quiet, relaxing dining experience. Connections Eatery is MASSIVE, meaning it can hold a lot of people — and a lot of people can make a lot of noise. While the food is quite good, the atmosphere is like a busy cafeteria.
You want to dine somewhere with a view. The design inside Connections Eatery is inspired by the “old EPCOT,” but it’s not the most interesting unless you’re a die-hard fan. For quick eats with a view, consider Yorkshire County Fish Shop or La Cantina de San Angel.
