REVIEW: We've Tried 6 Snacks in the NEW Harry Potter Land at Epic Universe

In case you missed it, there’s a brand new Harry Potter land, and yes — we’ve already been snacking our way through it.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic in Epic Universe

Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe is shaping up to be the next-level theme park experience we’ve all been waiting for, and one of the most exciting additions is the brand-new Wizarding World area. It’s filled with magic, immersive details, and, of course, a whole new lineup of snacks and drinks to try. We recently stopped by and grabbed six of the most interesting items we could find — and spoiler: some of them seriously surprised us.

Let’s break it down snack by snack.

Le Breuvage Sombre du Gobelet Noir – Le Gobelet Noir

This one caught our eye the second we saw someone walking by with it. It’s called Le Breuvage Sombre du Gobelet Noir and comes in at $7. Don’t worry, you don’t need to speak French to enjoy this — just be ready for a sweet, moody mocktail topped with “eyes of Plimpies” (a.k.a. yogurt-popping pearls).

We’ll be honest — we didn’t expect much, but this was actually incredible. It’s like if a blue raspberry slushie melted and decided to level up into something cooler and smoother. It’s got a rich, dark color that feels very wizard-y, and it’s surprisingly sweet without being over-the-top. The yogurt pearls add a little pop of flavor, but it’s more about the texture than taste. If you’ve got kids (or you’re just mocktail-inclined), this drink will probably be your new go-to.

Lobe Blaster – Bar Moonshine

Over at Bar Moonshine, we went straight for the Lobe Blaster ($17.99), which is as strong as the name sounds. It’s made with moonshine, limoncello, absinthe (yes, really), lemon juice, club soda, and rosemary — so it’s got a lot going on.

First off, this thing is BRIGHT green. The kind of green that practically glows. But don’t let the fun color fool you — this drink is not for chugging. It’s more of a sipping situation, and we mean that seriously. It’s got a refreshing, minty-lemon profile with a slight herbal punch from the absinthe and rosemary. If you like drinks that feel a little sophisticated (and can handle a little kick), this is worth a try. Bonus: it comes in a cute stemless souvenir cup, and we saw plenty of other guests carrying it around too.

Lavender Lemonade – Café L’air de la Sirene

Next up: the Lavender Lemonade ($5.50). Sounds fancy, right? We thought so too.

Here’s the deal — it’s great lemonade, but the lavender? Kinda missing in action. A team member swore it’s in there, but if you’re expecting that floral, spa-like vibe, you’ll probably be let down. Still, it’s refreshing, especially on a hot day, so we’re not mad about it. Just maybe rename it “Regular Lemonade in a Fancy Cup” and call it a day.

Bièraubeurre Glacée Non-Dary – Café L’air de la Sirene

We couldn’t NOT try the non-dairy Butterbeer. It’s officially called Bièraubeurre Glacée Non-Dary and goes for $8.99. If you’ve had Butterbeer before at the other Universal parks, this one will taste exactly the same.

No surprises here — it’s sweet, creamy, and nostalgic in all the right ways. But the fact that it’s non-dairy? Huge win for anyone with dietary restrictions. Honestly, we’d order this again even without the need to go dairy-free. It’s just a solid Butterbeer.

Bièraubeurre Crepe – Café L’air de la Sirene

Now let’s talk about the showstopper: the Bièraubeurre Crepe ($19.99). This thing is basically dessert magic. Two crepes stacked and stuffed with butterscotch sauce, then topped with strawberries, whipped cream that tastes exactly like the Butterbeer foam, and a stamped shortbread cookie.

We have to be real — this thing is SWEET. Like, very sweet. But it nails the Butterbeer flavor in dessert form. The whipped cream alone is worth writing home about. The cookie? Eh, a little dry and not our fave. The crepes themselves are more of a vehicle for the butterscotch, which is totally fine because that filling is incredible. We definitely recommend sharing this one, but Butterbeer fans, do not skip it.

Vegan Croissant – Café L’air de la Sirene

Last but definitely not least: the Vegan Croissant. Yes, we were skeptical too. A buttery, flaky croissant… with no dairy?

And it’s vegan!

Believe it. This thing is kind of perfect. Flaky, soft, and just rich enough without being greasy. We don’t say this lightly — we’d order it again in a heartbeat. It’s a great little grab-and-go snack if you’re looking for something less sugary to balance out all that Butterbeer.

Final Thoughts

All in all, the new Harry Potter land at Epic Universe is already delivering on the snack front. Whether you’re in the mood for a bold cocktail, a sweet treat that tastes like straight-up nostalgia, or a surprisingly good vegan option, there’s something here for every witch, wizard, or muggle.
