We had lunch here on 7/29 before heading to Magic Kingdom for the afternoon. Husband had the flatbread and a soda and I ordered a children's meal fish sandwich. Soda had up to 4 refills and flatbread was good, according to hubby. Kids sandwich was a decent size portion along with grapes and apple slices for sides. Ended up being a nice light lunch. Plenty of seating available and entertaining to watch the monorail go by. Would recommend and will return again.
Pros:
Not crowded, nice healthy choicesCons:

Ate here twice on recent trip to BLT. The first time we went because we wanted to try it and had seen good reviews. The second time was more out of desperation because it was late and really the only convenient option. The flatbread pizza was very small and just so-so. Chicken caesar and Italian sandwich were also just so-so. The best thing we had was the bread sticks with marina sauce, which weren't on main menu but were an option on the computer ordering system. The seating area was rather small considering this QS services the Cont. and BLT. Deluxe resorts seem to count on more TS diners. Every moderate has superior QS to the Contempo Cafe if you feel like taking the time to go elsewhere. I would only recommend eating here if you are a resort guest and have no other option.
Pros:
hours, convenient for resort guestsCons:

We stayed at Bay Lake Tower so this is the counter service location that serves the tower. I loved the cupcakes and pretty much tried them all! My fav was the pumpkin spice one. I really enjoyed my sandwich the first day and I'm not a big fan of sandwiches. But this place got old quick. Very limited menu! We also had a very rude employee. Very rare at WDW! But that put a damper on going here for me.
Pros:
Cupcakes! Good sandwichesCons:
limited menu and seating. Rude staff.Reviewed by Jade Review Date: 11/12/2020

Say it with me, Giant Mickey Waffles!! Do you want a Mickey Waffle that's the same size as your face? You can get one here! At Contempo Cafe you can eat with a view of the monorail passing by which adds to the atmosphere of a typical counter service meal. Once you order at the cash register you get a pager and a cast member brings your food to you. The Mickey Waffle comes with bacon and your choice of fruit topping: strawberries or banana. Despite being very instagram-able the Waffle was just okay. My boyfriend had the scrambled hash bowl and we also tried the grilled breakfast sandwich. The sandwich is served in grilled brioche bread, however, I wish the bread was more toasted. I actually saw some customers deconstruct their sandwich and put the bread in the toaster next to the condiments. The filling was very cheesy. Overall this was an a-okay breakfast!
Pros:
Giant mickey waffles, easy ordering, mobile order, get to eat and watch the monorail go byCons:

I hoped that this food would be good since it was the most convenient for Bay Lake Tower, but we were wrong. The food all tastes like they cook it earlier and then just warm it up. They do have sugar free brownies and they are delicious. The chicken flat bread tasted like it was on a cracker. Made me miss Roaring Fork. Breakfast is the best thing served.

The food here is standard. I didn't really find anything that really stood out here. We found it to be confusing to get your food to be honest. We didn't realize that we had to pay for our grill order before it would be made. We had to go to the cash register to find this out. Also at first we couldn't figure out where to get soda cups until we got to the cash register. They need signage here for these 2 things! Also, seating here is limited, but there were people here who weren't dining with food from there taking up much needed space for our party of 6. We had to stand to eat the first part of our meal.

It is a very good option for a quick service meal, the way you order the food is very good, and they take it for your table, I ate the salmon and it was good. They have not a long list of options but it is ok for one of your quick service foods.
Pros:
good option for quick serviceCons:

The only reason I would recommend this restaurant is because we found it to be the only counter service at the Contemporary (which based on the size of the hotel, this place is much smaller than food courts at budget and moderates). We found the menu to be very limited (especially for the two picky eaters we had in our group). The food was nothing special and you had only a small offering from which to choose. They had a very small bakery section (one small case), but the cupcakes were delicious.
I agree with earlier posts.....the ordering system is unusual. You select from a kiosk, but then have to check out at the register and take your receipt back to the ordering station and wait for your food.
Pros:
great cupcakesCons:

We ate here a few times during our 8 night stay at BLT. Choices are good, service is quick. Seating area is fine but we sometimes took it back to our studio at BLT. Decent option.
