Review and Photos: New Menu Items at Contempo Cafe in Disney World
Raise your hand if you’re guilty of stalking the Contempo Cafe pastry case for new cupcakes! Recently, we’ve loved the Churro Cupcake and the Millenial Pink Cupcake.
In fact, it has been a few months since we went to Contempo Cafe for something other than a cupcake! But when I stopped by today (yes, for a cupcake) I noticed something new to me on the menu: Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup. Well, twist my arm – I just had to order it.
But, don’t worry… I found a fun cupcake too. 😉 Read on to find out more!

The Grilled Cheese is made with three cheeses – Fontina, Monterrey Jack, and Boursin Garlic & Fine Herb – and is on Sourdough Bread. It is served with Tomato Bisque and your choice of fries, homemade chips, or veggie slaw. I opted for the homemade chips.
Is the Contemporary Resort’s New Firework Cupcake a Blast or a Dud?
While at the Contempo Cafe, one of our favorite quick service locations on property, we spotted the new Firework Cupcake, and we just had to try this to see if it was a taste explosion or a disappointing dud.
Firework Cupcake at Contempo Cafe: Flavor Explosion or Dud?
The first thing that attracted us to this cupcake was its chocolate paint splattered Mickey Hat! Then the name drew our attention followed by the description of the flavors.
