A Delicious Guide to the Best Desserts in Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs!

Disney Springs is a veritable hub of great food options, but where are the spots to go if you need to get that sweetness after your main meal?

We’re rounding up the hot-spots you need to check out in our ultimate guide to the desserts of Disney Springs!

Amorette’s Patisserie

Where: Town Center

If dessert is the name of the game for your Disney Springs visit, then you should definitely make a point to check out Amorette’s Patisserie. Designed with elements of an artist’s studio, the dessert-makers here truly try to make sweet treats that are works of art. (Fun fact: Amorette’s means little loves.)

They have a wide selection of cakes to choose from, but some of our favorites include the Signature Amorette’s Cake and Assorted Dome Cakes with Disney character designs. During special times of the year, you may also be able to find limited time holiday offerings like with the Lady and the Tramp-inspired Valentine’s Day cakes from this year.

Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop

Where: The Marketplace

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! The Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop is one of the spots in Disney Springs to get some cool, refreshing ice cream on those hot Florida days. They’ve got your traditional scoops that you can take with you on the go…

…or you can try out one of their Thick Shakes or specialty sundaes like the World Famous Hot Fudge Sundae. Just make sure you get to enjoy all of the ice creamy goodness before the sun melts it all away.

Vivoli Il Gelato

Where: The Landing

We said Ghirardelli was just one of the spots for frozen treats because you can also try out the Italian side at Vivoli il Gelato. This family-run shop not only whips up some traditional gelato, but they also function as a bakery with other treats like biscotti, cannolis, brownies, and more!

Of course, one of the main reasons to come here is that sweet, sweet gelato, and there are a ton of flavors to choose from, like strawberry, black cherry, vanilla bean, and more. Vivoli il Gelato will sometimes also get in the holiday spirit with some special seasonal offerings like they did with this year’s St. Patrick’s Day, so you may get lucky on your visit.

Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC

Where: The Landing

Located pretty close by is another great spot to swing by for the sweet treats: Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC. You can find everything from cookies to cupcakes to donuts here to satisfy your craving.

This is a red alert for all you folks out there with a gluten allergy: this bakery operates on making desserts that are A-ok with vegan diets and gluten-free. In fact, it’s allergen-free!

Aristocrepes

Where: The Marketplace

If you’re in the mood for some really thin pancakes, then Aristocrepes should be on your radar. Don’t be fooled by its small size; this kiosk is hiding some delectable treats back there.

You want Strawberries and Cream? Done. Do you want a S’mores Crepe? You got it. How about a crepe topped with chocolate ice cream, pretzel pieces, whipped cream, crispy pearls, and caramel sauce that you can get in a Mickey Mouse souvenir dish? Yeah, they’ve got that too.

Cookie Dough and Everything Sweet

Where: West Side

You’ll have to find this sweet spot off the beaten path a bit in a park designated for food trucks, but Cookie Dough and Everything Sweet is worth the trip.

They’ve got some pretty interesting dessert options that you don’t usually find elsewhere, like dessert tacos and a cookie dough sundae. The prices are also pretty decent by Disney standards.

Shaved Ice

Where: The Marketplace/West Side

Sometimes you just need something simple, and there are a few shaved ice kiosks around Disney Springs that can help. You’ll find the Florida Snow Company in the Markeplace dishing up some traditional shaved ice, but they also have some signature flavors like poolside pina colada and frosty key lime pie.

You can also find two stands for Martocci’s Italian Ice in the Marketplace and West Side areas. You’ll have to make the tough decision whether to go with Italian shaved ice, gelato, or soft-serve ice cream when you come here though.

If that wasn’t enough, they also have a variety of sweet churro samplings to choose from.

Sunshine Churros

Where: The Marketplace

Speaking of churros, you can get more of this Disney staple at Sunshine Churros. These aren’t just your average churros that you may be used to from Disneyland or elsewhere though.

The Cast Members at Sunshine Churros are getting crazy with it by dipping churros, crafting spiral churros, and making churros with strawberry cheesecake or Oreo dough.
