Ordering here is a bit confusing. Just know that you wait in line and then get your own personal server who will then walk with you as you pick out what you want and she'll add it to your tray.
We got LOTS of treats here to sample. The lobster bisque, creme' brulee, the macroon sampler, the raspberry macroon (my ultimate favorite), the napoleon, the chocolate mousse, a croissant, and a double espresso. All of that cost around a whopping $50! If you have the quick service dining plan, you can turn one meal into 3 snacks. Good to know.
So, after we finished paying the only spots left to enjoy our selections were tiny tables which were STANDING room only. Not cool for the price you pay, but the taste is TO DIE FOR!!!
Overall, we found the bisque out of this world, the pastries baked to perfection, and the coffee the smoothest, most delicious taste ever! BOY! Don't get a double though, or you'll be up until 2am! This place is NOT to be MISSED on your trek through the International Countries in Epcot.
Pros:
authentic food, espresso, and pastriesCons:

We purchased a 'Boba Fet' souvenier stein, the BB8 Lemon Cupcake, and the Chocolate Chewbacca Specialty cupcakes. I was pleasantly surprised that the BB8 one was SUPER-delicious and smoothe flavored.
Tables are all over inside and out but be aware that it gets INSANELY crowded during lunch times. To break up the monotony, we noticed that there was an incredibly-bouncy cast member periodically awarding free food surprises randomly through the crowd. That was lots of fun to watch and worked well keeping people's spirits up through the NUTTY lunch rush.
We LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT and will definitely be back. Just know that this place is tucked right across Star Tours and at the end of the Indiana Jones Show exit.
Pros:
Star-Wars themed souvenier steins, waffles, and desserts!Cons:

I loved the Turkey & Cranberry Sandwich. It was fresh, very large, and full of flavor. Unfortunately, it was so crowded and the lines were so slow that I got incredibly overwhelmed and forgot to order the darned coffee so I had to trek through MORE crowds around the park vainly searching for mediocre coffee elsewhere to wake me up!

Everyone loves chicken fingers and when they arrived, they were fresh and hot. There was a wide array of dipping sauces that could be found on the fixins bar but after a few hours, both my husband and son complained about having heartburn so eat at your own discretion.

The pastries are fabulous but my family was forced to wait in a very long and slow line while a large group of college-aged drunks with 'Getting DRUNK around the World screen-printing boasted loudly on their shirts' kept ordering Liquor shots and holding everyone up.

The Oak-Grilled Rotisserie Chicken is cooked right before your very eyes and its flavor it out of this world! I love ordering the Oak-Grilled Vegetable Sandwich because it is also BURSTING with flavor. Our young son who is over 9 had NO other dining choices though and didn't really like the chicken so its not good for pre-teens over 9 who are not entrée eaters. You may want to get them food elsewhere and bring it in here.
This quick service restaurant is located down inside the Land Pavillion and was designed to be like a Airport Cafeteria. The theming is fun to look at, there are LOTS of tables/ booths to sit at, and people-watching here is also LOTS of fun to do.
We always enjoy eating here and will come again as soon as we can!

My husband, daughter (16) and I dined here right before MNSSHP on Sunday, October 23rd. My husband had the hummus sandwich, my daughter had the children's chicken nuggets and fries, and I had the lobster roll. Everything was delicious.
This is a restaurant I've wanted to try FOREVER, and I'm certainly glad I was able to fit it in this past trip. We will definitely be back in July...

We ate here 3 times in 2 days. It is just the BEST food in the Magic Kindgom for Quick-Service options and there is SO much seating, there's even a large section upstairs. You can even sit by the windows upstairs and have fun watching people go by. This was GREAT during Mickey's No-So Scary Halloween party because we could see all the neat costumes people had on as they were passing by.
This is a yummy place not to be missed.

The corn dogs were OK but we really didn't like them and had to go get food somewhere else.
There are BARELY any places to eat inside, so you have to go outside and wait for a table to open up, then when you DO get one, you have to fight the ducks to keep them from stealing your food.

With the new Magic Bands where you have the option of charging everything simply to your Resort room, I have found that this Quick-Service Plan is WAY too expensive and obsolete.
It FORCES you to take a drink AND a dessert when most of the time, you're just TOO FULL to eat another bite after the LARGE entree. I don't like caffeinated drinks and carry a 'Camel' filtered water bottle around with me in the park anyway so that's a waste too.
There is NO WAY that my family can eat $42 in food a day because the entrees (Plus fries and sometimes a few smaller side dishes) are usually no more than $15 if you add in a drink. And they only give you 1 snack
We would much rather pay for everything separately because I prefer to eat smaller portions and enjoy tasty snacks AFTER my stomach has settle and digested a few hours.
This is a waste of money when its now SO MUCH easier to just charge everything to the room.
