Fiddler Fifer & Practical Cafe

I LOVED THIS PLACE! Best Starbucks I’ve ever been to, hands down. The workers are so friendly and their handwriting on my cup just sealed the experience.

My daughter saw the diamond celebration cupcake online and had to have it. I expected it to be a typical cupcake with cosmetic frills. I was so wrong. This cupcake is a moist orange cupcake with real zest, delicious fruit filling, and a rich cream custard on top. With every bite, we did the «oh my» reaction.

Pretty much Starbucks with a different name. Nothing special. I’ll give it 4 stars bc the staff is amazing and friendly, other than that it’s Starbucks.

This place is a disappointment.
Yes it is basically Starbucks. Let’s just call it what it is. But why the hell did you come to DCA to have Starbucks. I recently came with my girlfriend after learning that the rest of DCA’s restaurants were no longer taking any reservations. We were hungry so the only food item they had were their basic café sandwich (that came in two options), or their Starbucks breakfast sandwiches. So out of the option of turkey and roast beef I went with their turkey. My girlfriend went with their roast beef option. My turkey sandwich contained turkey, tomatoes, red onions, lettuce, swiss cheese, in a croissant, with some fruit on the side. The croissant was DRY DRY DRY. After putting some condiments in it, it was still dry. The turkey was also dry. Boo. The only good thing was the fresh fruits. Some were sweet, some weren’t. My girlfriend’s roast beef was the same sad story. While we were trying to eat our food, some girls walked by, looked at our sandwiches and left without order. So Sad.
Starbucks and DCA prices combine. Our sandwiches were $ 10 each but not worth it because of the quality. My Unilocal photos just don’t do the justice of how awful they were. I’ll just say if this place isn’t packed and you need some caffeine then in all means go. If you’re looking for a bite of food then stay clear.

Expect to wait for coffee as there is a line for everything at Disney. Last time I visited I remember they had nice pastries with great coffee. Today they serve Starbucks with Starbucks pastries .
Sorry for the lack of photos but my cell was running out of batteries with no outlets to charge.

I just love the idea that there is a Starbucks inside California Adventure! It makes it convenient to grab a light breakfast. And if you are an AP holder, you get to use your discount.
The downside, the discount doesn’t apply at the ice cream shop. The ice cream shop does sell a mango sorbet ice cream on a stick topped with chamoy and tajin just like the Mexican mangnada drink. It was delicious. You may want to eat it with a spoon.

During my life thus passed, there have been, to date, eleven cups of coffee connected with critically-​important, paradigm-​shifting phenomena that immediately and eternally changed the course of my life. Those are stories for another time; however, intermingled within them are countless mugs, camping thermoses, styrofoam cups, and fast-​food receptacles containing that lifeblood elixir that stokes the inner fire and quiets the ADHD badger that lives in the back of my skull.
A cup of coffee at FFP café is certainly intermingled within the latter grouping… A good strong, usually very necessary dose of caffeine to quell the Disney Magic that stacks and grows and half-​lifes like toxic chemicals bioaccumulate as they articulate up through an ecosystem.
This Disney/​Starbucks cross-​pollination project is surprisingly respectful to the traditions of both super-​conglomerates. While the lines are usually long, their queuing system keeps things moving, such that you really don’t wait much longer in any other popular Starbucks location.
True to form, there really isn’t anywhere to sit inside… Except instead of a parliament of high school kids parked in stools, their faces illuminated with the soft, lifeless glow of a MacBook, the FFP seats are permanently affixed to the hindquarters of corpulent Disney aficionados, their superfluous masses often extending far beyond the perimeters of the chairs designed to support humans half their size, and slowly but surely succumbing to the effects of gravity on their semi-​viscous flesh cushions.
Which is to say, your best bet is to make your purchases with some minor planning and timing, such that you’ll get your beverage and enjoy it while watching the Pixar Parade.
Disney annual pass discount works here, too. It ain’t much, but as I have alluded in previous Disney-​themed Unilocal reviews, any retail savings enjoyed at Disneyland can, nay, MUST be applied to churro purchases.
Have a magical day.

Shortest Starbucks line I found consistently. The one at downtown Disney was always ridiculously long and with a toddler wasn’t happening. This place was fast and way shorter lines!

Coffee and nice dessert (cookies, tarts, etc) selection, with plenty of indoor seating and limited outdoor tables… HOWEVER some days the line queue can be long, along with the wait. Great place to rest your feet and warm up!

I like to stop in here and get coffee first thing. The line is usually long but they are pretty fast and still shorter than anything in Disneyland park. I went here four times and the messed my order up 2 of the times, but were quick to fix it. Usually plenty of seating. I’ll be back.

It’s basically a Starbucks inside California Adventure, as soon as you enter.
What can I say about this particular Starbucks that I haven’t already said for a million other Starbucks i’ve visited?
The line moves fast, the inside is large with seating areas both inside and outside. They offer all your traditional Starbucks drinks (except they don’t do seasonal, bummer) and have some of Disney parks normal snacks along with it, plus the limited edition 60^th Anniversary Diamond Cupcake.
It does get pretty crowded but the line moves rather quickly. Sometimes quicker than a regular Starbucks store. They have their own Disney cups, which is awesome. And you can get a discount if you’re a season pass holder and let’s be real, nowadays, who isn’t?

This is basically a Starbucks down to the to go items. However, they don’t have the seasonal drinks that other Starbucks have. The line moves fast and there’s lots of seating, both inside and outside.
They also have their own Disney Parks cups! Awesome!

Basically a Starbucks in Disney’s California Adventure. Even if the lines look long they have a quick and effecient staff. So, if you need your morning cuppa Joe or a steaming hot chocolate while you watch World of Color you’ll get it here and be inside the park. Also a good selection of quick snacks and meals at a decent price — make the kiddos happy.
Lots of seating inside and enough outside as well. Great décor and atmosphere. It can be a little loud inside when packed.
Outside is a good place to have a cuppa, get off your feet, and people watch. Outside is also a good vantage point to sit and watch Newsboys show and Five and Dime as they perform in Cathay Circle — a great replica of 1920’s LA.
Always a favourite stop for me.

After an amazing afternoon at Disneyland, we walked over to CA adventure to get some much needed Starbucks. I ordered a very simple iced coffee and a warmed cookie.
After waiting 10 mins and seeing everyone after me, get their drinks and food I asked about my cookie. The barista was short and rude with me, informing me that it «takes a while to warm a cookie»
Waited another 5 mins.
Asked again.
No response, other than an eye roll. She waited before hollering at someone along the counter.
5 more mins, a warmed choc chip cookie.
No thank you Starbucks. You’re a jerk.

I heard about the cute Disney Park cups so I wanted to check it out. They serve Starbucks drinks: Frappuccino, Smoothies, Espresso, Starbucks Refreshers, Teavana Iced Tea, Coffee, Tea, and pastries, etc. The lines are long but they go by fast. There are two sections inside, one for Starbucks items and the other side sells ice cream.
:Drinks:
I got my famous Green Tea Latte (Iced), they made it perfect.
:Customer Service:
To the point and quick.
:Highlight:
Cute cups!
:Rating:
If you’re craving for Starbucks go here. They made my Green Tea Latte (Iced), just right. I would give it 4 Stars if the customer service was better.
:M’s Notes:
~Seating is available inside and outside
~Located in California Adventure by the entrance

There are 3 Starbucks at Anaheim Disney Resort:
Market House: Starbucks @ Disneyland.
Fiddler Fifer & Practical Café: Starbucks @ California Adventure.
Starbucks: the newest Starbucks @ Downtown Disney.
Ordered peppermint mocha for $ 3.99. It was $ 3.66 after 15% annual pass discount.
Connected to Clarabelle’ s Hand-​Scooped Ice Cream and Trolley Candy Treats, it also serves sandwiches.
QUICK TIP: ANNUAL PASS DISCOUNT IS ACCEPTED.
3.5 stars! My ninja likes his peppermint mocha
Fiddler Fifer & Partical Café is kinda yummylicious!

A Starbucks in disguise! I guess when you are Disney Inc. you can ask other companies to do special things.
Otherwise the menu is a bit extended from the Starbucks. When I went they haven’t had the La Boulange treatment — the pastries and sandwiches seem to be from the older Starbucks café stuff, which I have no problems with. The breakfast sandwiches are just a bit greasy but otherwise decent.
Just be prepared for the higher prices.

This place is really just a Starbucks inside Disney California Adventure named after the Three Little Pigs. I’m not a coffee drinker, but they do have black and green tea. The green’s a little too minty for my taste, but the unsweetened black is right up my alley. They’ll sweeten it for you if you want, but I prefer it without the sugary taste. Oddly, the tea here is slightly cheaper than the Gold Peak tea brand sold at any of the other Disney restaurants/​vendors. Tastes better too.
They also sell coffee’s and other drinks and snacks. They have some healthier snacks here too like fruit, and carrot sticks.

Starbucks in Disney’s California Adventure! Yes!
So if you’re visiting the parks and missed getting your morning brew… don’t fret they have you covered! With the huge Cali Adventure remodel came with it the addition of Fiddler Fifer & Practical Café and the serving of Starbucks.
It’s in the convenient location near the entrance and although there seems to always be a line, it does go by pretty fast with the amount of cashiers they usually have on hand.
They serve all your normal Starbucks drinks and have some of Disney parks normal snacks along with it.
Great on your way in or in the middle of the day if you need a pick me up.

They now sell Starbucks at DCA and Disneyland. For those of you condemning commercial interests inside the resort, do look around and think. The original corporate sponsors helped make Disneyland possible: AT&T, Coca-​Cola, Chevron, etc. So Starbucks is a new corporate sponsor, that’s all. Are their drinks ridiculously higher priced? You betcha! But as with anything inside the resort, you’re paying a premium. The lines are fast moving and there is ample seating inside Fiddler Fifer & Practical Café. The lines are horrendous in the morning though. But there’s also a Starbucks toting café inside Disneyland on Main Street too.
If you didn’t already know, this café is named for the 3 little pigs. They sell sandwiches, pastries, coffee drinks, and hot chocolate. It’s a nice place to duck in from the cold. There’s an ice cream shop next door at Clarabelle’s. These buildings were formerly the jetstreams that were just inside DCA. Remember Burrr-​Bank? If you’ve been to Disney as many times as I have, you do. Decent food, Disney service. They take the AP discount.
