Main Street Bakery is undoubtedly a well-known name in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida.
It’s been a fixture since 1971. Everybody who’s a regular visitor to the park has heard of it and, no doubt sampled its tasty wares at some stage or another over the years. So what has given Main Street Bakery such an enduring presence at one of Disney’s major theme parks?
The bakery has been part of the Starbucks brand since mid-2013. Before that, it had undergone a few different owners and name changes, but one thing has always been constant: the bakery has a penchant for serving up some fine eats and drinks to customers. Let’s take a look at a brief history of Main Street Bakery, its menu, and a little more about the venue.
Main Street Bakery History
The Main Street Bakery has been taking customers’ orders in the Magic Kingdom for over half a century. Main Street Bakery started as the Main Street Bakery and Cookie Shop and then became the Main Street Bake Shop, before adopting its current name in 2001.
Cookies are the snack that built the bakery’s reputation. Even after Starbucks took ownership almost a decade ago, these delightful treats still make up a large portion of the bakery’s sales.
The original owners of Main Street Bakery were Sara Lee before Nestlé assumed control in the guise of Toll House. After renovations that created something of a stir, Starbucks took over Main Street Bakery in 2012. It began offering its famous brand halfway through 2013.
Starbucks had entered into an agreement with Disney. This secured them an outlet at both locations in Disney Springs and venues in the four primary Walt Disney World parks. Besides refurbishing the Main Street Bakery interior to suit the new brand, there were also renovations done to the exterior of the bakery. The bakery is designed around the appearance of a tearoom from the turn of the century.
The Starbucks transformation endured mixed feelings from reviewers and patrons alike. Disney has since worked hard to ensure it runs smoothly and is winning over the vast majority of detractors. The company insisted on certain adjustments, including using an old-style Starbucks emblem to maintain the theme and look of Main Street Bakery.
Starbucks has added many items to the original Main Street menu, but some still feel this has been overkill, moving against the traditional values of Main Street. Still, patrons don’t lose sight of the fact that the coffee is always decent, and the transformation has been good for business on the whole.
Main Street Bakery Opening Times
Main Street Bakery only closes when the Magic Kingdom closes its gates. It is a perfect stop-off place for a fresh wake-up cup of steaming caffeine potion on an early Friday morning. It works just as well for a late afternoon Sunday snack on one of their baked goods to ease out of the weekend on a sugar high.
Whether it means popping in several times daily during the Monday to Friday “working week” to sample its varied selection of cookies or spending a Sunday after party just relaxing and taking in the passing Disney experience, Main Street Bakery is a daily stop that patrons love to make.
Its selection of hot drinks, famous choc-chip cookies, and other baked goods make Main Street Bakery a pleasant place to visit. Where it’s located makes visiting this bakery an integral part of any Magic Kingdom experience for young and old alike.
Main Street Bakery Menu
Starbucks products dominate the Main Street Bakery, which is certainly no surprise. It’s somewhat disappointing, however, that more of Main Street Bakery’s original selection hasn’t survived the change in ownership. When Starbucks took over the rights, a selection of several of Main Street’s original party baked goods and beverages didn’t make the new menu.
The rights change saw several baked goods remain. These include the famous choc-chip cookies that visitors love and always will love. These choc-chip cookies were introduced to the menu during the Toll House period when Nestlé owned the rights to Main Street.
