Jolly Holiday Bakery Café in Disneyland California is a charming and convenient stop for breakfast, especially if you’re just arriving at the park and want to fuel up before a busy day of rides and adventures. Located right at the central hub of Disneyland, it’s hard to miss and perfectly situated for an early morning bite.
When we visited, the line for in-person ordering was long, understandably so, as many guests had the same idea. We strongly recommend using the Disneyland app to place a mobile order ahead of time, which saves a lot of hassle. Even with a mobile order, finding a table can be tricky, but turnover is relatively fast since most people eat quickly and head out to chase rides.
We tried the Jolly Holiday Combo, which features a Toasted Cheese Sandwich with Tomato Basil Soup and a Specialty Sweetened Iced Tea topped with Vanilla Whipped Cream. It was a solid, comforting meal, perfect for breakfast in a theme park setting. The sandwich and soup pairing worked well together, even though it was my first time trying this classic combo. The tea was fine, nothing extraordinary, but a fun twist for a morning drink. Like most Disneyland food, the prices are on the higher end, but that’s expected for the location.
Overall, Jolly Holiday Bakery Café is a great choice for a quick and satisfying breakfast to start your day at Disneyland. While the food itself may not be anything too special, the convenience, setting, and variety of options (especially fun desserts and drinks that kids will love) make it a...
Read moreThe Baseline: For a sit down Dining experience establishment the food flavors must represent the theme of the environment, there must be unique offerings to the restaurant based on the theme, and the experience must be immersive to the theme park experience.
Food: The food at Jolly Holiday is really about the sweet treats and the caffeinated drinks. There is an exception to that rule though and that is the grilled cheese and tomato soup which are hidden gems of joy. The night I went I got the Beef Birria Toasted Cheese with a side of Tomato Soup with the Specialty Tea. The sandwich was delicious with a lot of beef in it and had a consome to dip in. The tomato soup was creamy and a bit sweet but very enjoyable. The Specialty Tea is a new favorite if I am not going for a cold brew. The creamy top mixed well in the tea and made for an enjoyable drink.
Service: Great cast member service at the pick up area and they keep the dining areas clean and orderly. Love Disney cast members for their attitude and helpfulness.
Ambiance: It always a Jolly Holiday with Mary and the people that you love. Jolly Holiday is a Mary Poppins themed eatery with an old turn of the century English feel to the restaurant with extra lights and activity as it faces the Disneyland hub with views...
Read moreThis restaurant is no longer what it once was. The quality of the food is so awful. I ordered a seasonal Christmas turkey sandwich and it still ended up served to me cold considering it had been sitting under the heat lamp for so long, the bread was so dried out and stale, I ended up cracking a tooth because I wasn’t expecting to bite into rock hard toast. The turkey had the texture of jerkey, tough, dry and more suitable for gnawing rather than chewing. The amount of gravy they give you is laughable considering you need to soak the sandwich in it for the bread to soften enough to be edible. The cashier was not friendly at all. The fixtures in the restaurant were unkempt and dusty and some even covered in cobwebs, I felt like i was in the haunted mansion instead of on main St for a moment. This is not the level of quality that I have been accustomed to in the past and yet I’m still expected to pay the high prices. Walt would be turning over in his grave. Save your money and visit the parks in Florida. The quality there hasn’t dropped off as much as the...
