Blue Ribbon Bakery

This place is reasonably good for pastries and coffee, esp. when in Disneyland. It’s a cute place that fits well in Main Street and they have seasonal holiday items, but as with much about Disney edibles potables, the quality is mostly mediocre and overpriced. Some things are good or at least fun, but most of it is just bland and a bit crude and characterless, certainly lacking subtlety of taste and texture. I note that, as one may find on one’s own easily enough, many of the food items available in Disneyland are ubiquitous and largely the same things everywhere one goes, with some exceptions here and there.

On a sweltering hot day, being thirsty and sweaty… air conditioning and icy beverages makes Blue Ribbon a refreshing oasis.

Not a happy place in Disneyland in winter! The line can be out the door and literally take over ½ an hour.
I’m actually not a fan of their baked goods and would give 2 stars for taste, quality and price. There are numerous bakery items that are far, far better at other places. For example, Corner Bakery has super yummy pecan sticky buns and cinnamon rolls. Blue Ribbon Bakery’s cinnamon roll is very large and warm, but the dough is lackluster in flavor and the frosting/​icing is just slathered on and you are getting quantity instead of taste. At holiday time, they have some specialty items like frosted shortbread cookies and gingerbread men. Both are very cute and I head the gingerbread men are yummy, but I didn’t think the shortbread cookie was that great. The mochas are pretty good and shockingly, not much more expensive than some coffee houses. They also have lattes, hot chocolate and regular brewed coffee.
Passholders, yes you get a discount!

This place is usually a 30 minute wait during winter time because of the bake goods and coffee. This is a great place for a pick me up in the morning or late at night.
I love their gingerbread men during the holiday season and they have a good hot chocolate when it gets cold at night. Their cinnamon rolls are really good warmed up and their sandwiches are the same ones they sell at Carnation Café.
The best part is the 15 percent discount for passholders, it helps off set the price gouging that Disney does to its visitors.

I’ve seen this place in the many times I’ve been to Disneyland however never went in until now. At the suggestion of some friends we came with, we started our first day in the park with a delicious cinnamon roll. Well it was more like a cinnamon brick but who’s keeping score?
Moist, cinnamony, drenched with cream cheese frosting… HEAVEN!!!
You will need a few essential tools to attack this phenom, fork and napkins!
Need I say more?

This small but cozy and homely bakery on Main Street provides a solid selection of coffees, blended drinks, baked goods and sandwiches. Except for the coffees (which are priced similarly to what Starbucks offers) everything else is a bit pricey (it IS Disneyland).
Nonetheless, if you can go when it’s not busy and the lines aren’t crazy (the times in between breakfast, lunch, dinner, and closing time), I recommend this area for a a quick grab and go. I recommend the white chocolate mocha, the blended mocha and of course… the infamous Orange frappé, a sugary concoction of caffeine badness.
Zoolander’s friends would be proud.

Large portions. Great frosting. Super cool decorations for holidays. Coffee is good too. Nice little place to stop for a snack or order some goodies to take home and savor the joy of Disneyland. The cherry on top for me was glitter sprinkled on top and chuncks of real apple in the muffin. So magical!

If I’m not going to sit down and eat for breakfast, this is the place to go!!! We always have our plan at Disneyland to go early and catch the rides right when it opens. Then we sit down and eat breakfast. If that plan doesn’t work, time to go to Blue Ribbon Bakery!
I love their banana nut muffins and blueberry muffins. The kids love their muffins and their cinnamon twists. The Orange Frappé is a treat.
The bad part is the line. It’s usually very long. I don’t know a good time to go except for when Disneyland first opens. Everyone likes this place.
I also really enjoyed the special cupcake. It was so beautiful that I had it for breakfast. It had rainbow frosting and edible spartkes.
Dee-​licious with an orange frappé!

Main Street’s Blue Ribbon Bakery is between the Carnation Café and the Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor on the left side, about half way down Main Street. If you need a mocha fix. (‘Hot or iced depending on the weather, this is the place to go!)
‘You can enjoy hot flavored coffees, deli sandwiches, baked goods, and morning breakfast items at this charming old-​fashioned bakery.
I haven’t really tried any of the display or menu items but from all the Unilocal*views, they sound delicious!
Note: If you’re just looking for a straight forward cup of coffee, head across the street to Main Street’s Market House. Purchase a cup of coffee (regular, decaf, vanilla or hazelnut) for $ 2.59 and save your receipt = Free refills for as many time as you like! There’s no need to keep the cup. Just bring back the receipt and enjoy free refills all day.
Main Street’s Market House —
If I’m across @ DCA,(Disney’s California Adventure), I head over to Baker’s Field Bakery located near the front of the park at «The California Zephyr.”(Future Site of Clarabelle’s Ice Cream Parlor and Fiddle, Fifer & Practical Café) It is currently next door to «Enginear’s Toys.»

My man is a coffee person. He doesn’t boot up or run correctly without his coffee several times during the day.
Dropping in here I spotted the words, «Coconut» and «Macaroon» and I was entranced. So while he got his cuppa ice frappé whip whatever nonsense I ordered myself a Matterhorm Macaroon and proceeded to go into happy space.
Mmmm.
That’s right. If you’re at Disneyland you should stop here. Rivals the Dole Whip it does. :)

Oh, hai, Blue Ribbon. You’re delicious.
I suppose I need to elaborate. Every baked good here is beyond yummy. (I say that because they also offer sandwiches that I have never tried.) That being said — many an early morning I have stopped in here for a fast breakfast before heading over to Space Mountain to get Fastpasses. ;) Love the chocolate muffin (it still amuses me that chocolate muffins are considered «appropriate» breakfast items while people scoff at eating chocolate cake for breakfast — it’s the same thing!) and the sticky buns and cinammon rolls are ginormous (best to split one) and soooo yummy. I wish they had a hybrid sticky bun/​cinammon roll so it would have cream cheese icing AND caramel pecans on it…*wipes drool*…
Oh, and the iced mochas! I don’t know what they put in those but they are the BEST iced mochas I have ever had. Rich, chocolatey and smooth. Oh yeah.
The only down side of this place is the looooong line in the morning — but it’s to be expected when it’s right on Main Street and the smell of vanilla outside of the building lures people in with it’s diabetic siren song.
Man, I have to get back here. Like, yesterday.

All I wanted was a decaf nonfat latte and Disney’s coffee shop failed to deliver so I ended up across the street at Blue Ribbon.
My order was no problem and the wait was short! So why only two stars? For starters, the latte was warm, not hot, and the coffee tasted barely like coffee! I understand it’s decaf but for a place stocked with espresso machines and fancy coffee fixings, you would think they would have some of the better decaf stuff! It tasted super watered down and didn’t satisfy my craving at all. Especially for the price, it was highly disappointing.
On another note, their cinnamon rolls and sticky buns are huge!

During my food fest tour in Disneyland. I needed a snack that I could take while waiting in the ridiculous long lines. Seriously 45 min wait for space mountain and nothing to eat can be extensively painful. So on my search for something grand to eat I found this bakery on main street. Unfortunately there was another long line just to the cashier. Gazing at the items behind the glass, I knew this wasn’t something to be excited. I thought the only reason for its popularity was due to the fact it was near the entrance. And like any kid as myself, the first thing you probably be attracted to is the giant mickey mouse cookie.
Unfortunately I’m not kid anymore and do have that adult side. First it was whether buying a giant cookie would be worth 5 bucks. My other thought was how long has it been there, that thing looked as stale as a noodle. My eyes looked elsewhere and there it was a Giant Sticky Bun! It looked rather dry and was in conflict between that and the cinnamon roll. Then the other side of me thought how crazy it would be for people to see me eating this thing by myself.
At the end told myself heck with it, going for the giant sticky bun. Yes it was indeed worth it. It last me most of the waiting time for space mountain. I do admit it was a bit much for me but how often does a person get to indulge on sweets in Disneyland. I say live it up and enjoy the moment. This may not have been the best bakery ever but was content with the proportions, a must stop if here.

Came to Disneyland for the first time and the first place I tried was here.
As soon as I entered, I could smell all the baked goods. Sooo good! The line was pretty long but the service is quick. The staff here is really friendly. The food is on the pricey side because it is in Disneyland. However, it is worth it. Great way to start your day on the happiest place on earth… or a smoked turkey leg would be a great way too! haha

When I was a kid, my only experience with pumpkin was frozen pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving dessert. Now, there’s a whole new world of pumpkin goodness — pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin frozen yogurt, pumpkin candy, pumpkin chocolate, and the list goes on. But perhaps my favorite is the pumpkin muffin slash cupcake at DL’s Blue Ribbon Bakery.
It’s fluffy, moist, and not terribly sweet if you don’t eat the cream cheese frosting. But I normally can’t resist, and I dig into all the components at once. One muffin is a perfect treat for 2 people, but I could see how somone could hork down about 5 of these in one sitting before suffering from pumpkin overload.
As if you’ve forgotten that it’s Halloween Time, the orange Mickey-​shaped chocolate topping on top smacks you upside the head. I like to chomp on the ears first, making Mickey look like a bald mouse. Or, dunk the entire piece into a cup of caramel spiced apple cider. Put it all together, and It warms the belly. It’s a perfect way to start off (or end) the long day at the park.

There are three reasons why I love to visit Disneyland in the Fall.
1. Lighter crowds
2. Halloween themed rides and decorations around the park
3. PUMPKIN GOODIES
The best place to purchase pumpkin goodies at the Disneyland Resort is The Blue Ribbon Bakery. BRB is located on Main St, right next to the Gibson Girl ice cream parlor. During the year, BRB offers all sorts of yummy treats. Some of my favorite things they sell are their pecan sticky buns, glazed cinnamon rolls, white chocolate covered coconut macaroons, chocolate croissants and iced gingerbread cookies (also seasonal). BRB also sells warm and cold coffee and tea beverages and sandwiches.
When the Fall season comes around is when I enjoy visiting BRB the most. Every year, towards the end of September is when BRB brings back their Fall flavored treats. Yesterday my fiancé and I spent the day at the park and you know I couldn’t leave without paying a visit to BRB and purchasing some of their seasonal treats.
This is what I bought:
Pumpkin muffin with a cream cheese filling
Nutty cinnamon caramel apple cupcake
Pumpkin fudge
Iced pumpkin latte
I have had many pumpkin muffins in my time and the one from BRB is honestly the best I have ever tasted. The muffin itself is super moist and is packed with nuts, raisins, and lots of sweet cream cheese. The nutty cinnamon caramel apple cupcake was as delicious as it sounds. The cake had pieces cinnamon apples and walnuts baked into it. The caramel frosting on this cupcake was amazing. It was really light and buttery. The pumpkin fudge and pumpkin latte were both amazing as well.
The service here is always wonderful. Every cast member I have encountered at BRB has always been super friendly. The prices here are pretty good too. Their pumpkin muffins are huge and they only charge about $ 2.50 for them. The cupcake was around $ 3.00, which is standard for a gourmet cupcake.
Whether you’re a fan of pumpkin or not, when you visit Disneyland you must stop by BRB and pick up some of their delicious treats.

Nestled between Carnation Café + the Ice Cream Parlor on Disneyland’s historic Main Street is the Blue Ribbon Bakery.
Nearly empty in the summers but packed in the cooler months, it’s the staple for place for weary parents to get their coffee fix, for cold hands to find hot chocolate or tea to warm the body, or for early birds to grab some sweet pastries to munch on. It’s not that cheap (each pastry is over $ 2 + each drink is at least $ 3) but when you’ve really got a craving, there isn’t much else similar in or around the park so you end up here no matter how long the line can sometimes be.
The bakery kind of doubles as a café since it serves not only a variety of baked goods for breakfast, dessert or a snacks but also pre-​prepared sandwiches ($ 8 range) + overpriced fruit for those who are actually attempting to eat healthy while in the park. But for the most part, it’s all about the cookies, pastries, brownies, cupcakes, coffees, teas, + other drinks. Here’s a few shots of the display cases:
Personally, I don’t come come here all that often… but when I do it’s to grab a mocha or something chocolaty. While the dessert selection isn’t nearly comparable to what you can get at Pooh’s Corner in Frontierland, the caffeinated drink selection is better than the 3 options the occasional coffee carts in the park offer. The Chocolate Chunk Brownie or the new Summer Nightastic Chocolate Raspberry Cupcake ($ 4.99)
usually do the job for me as they’re both pretty rich + especially if you can pop them in the microwave for a few seconds, mmmmm! Yes + they’re also much easier to take to-​go with you out of the park compared to something like a frozen treat. I’ve grabbed a Chocolate Croissant ($ 2.29) from here for breakfast the next day before, but it wasn’t all that exciting since there was only a single sliver of a bar of chocolate inside. Yes, I’m a big fan of chocolate if you can’t tell already… =P
P. S. On a slightly random note… this is also the only place in the park that I know of where you can get those little packets of pure honey. Immediate sugar rush of energy to the brain for free!

They have soymilk! I had a soy raspberry coffee and it was bomb. Can’t speak for anything in the bakery case, it all looked great but not in my diet.
Sat next door in the Gibson Girl ice cream parlor to people watch and sip away.

I’m not sure where else you go when you’re jonesing for a coffee in Disneyland, but this is the only place I could find! (Though visiting Disneyland on a weekday during the winter might not be the best time to find random food/​drink vendors.)
Even though the park wasn’t terribly crowded, there was a long, long line for coffee and pastries. At about 10 in the morning, I had to wait nearly 30 minutes for coffees and pastries; we just wanted drip coffee, so I wish there had been a drip coffee line as we didn’t need any fancy steamed milk or espresso.
Besides the painful wait, the coffee was decent and they had one of the broadest selections of pastries and coffee I’d seen in the park. They had all sorts of stuff such as muffins, sticky buns, cranberry cake loaves, cinnamon rolls and croissants. It seems like other reviewers had a different experience, so maybe it was random that there was such a wide selection.
There’s very little seating in the bakery, though it was empty enough at that time of day that we could just grab a table at the ice cream parlor next door.

Maybe I didn’t order the right thing, but I was disappointed in the Blue Ribbon Bakery.
My White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookie was nothing special — just a cookie. There wasn’t enough chocolate or nuts in it and the edges were crispy while the middle was soft. Next time I guess I’d try the chocolate croissant or the Mickey krispie treat or perhaps a blueberry muffin.
I also was expecting more pastry-​type choices, as opposed to basically just cookies and muffins. As we stood in line, I kept staring at the glass cases, completely uninspired by any of the choices. I chose the cookie in desperation, since I figured it would be a pretty fantastic cookie, but was let down… I would have liked more options to choose from.
At least the line moves quickly and the prices are reasonable!
