Expanded BoardWalk Bakery Reopens at Walt Disney World Resort Friday with New Treats

“Expanded

Get ready for some super new taste sensations when the BoardWalk Bakery reopens bright and early Friday morning – 6:30 a.m. to be exact.

“The new location is twice the size of the original bakery, themed to the 1920s Jersey shore,” says John Berko, manager of food & beverage at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn and Villas. Dark wood and colorful tiles and mosaics add a new brightness to the space.

Beyond sweets, the new menu includes hot breakfast items, salads and sandwiches – like a Maine lobster roll and a pork loin sandwich with creamy apple slaw.

But it’s the sweets that get the most attention, and plenty of favorites are back, including chocolate croissants, cupcakes and cinnamon. Newcomers include eclairs, cannoli, salted caramel ganache and an amazing peanut butter-banana-candied Nueske’s bacon pie. We begged for the recipe, and already made this one at home. There’s not a morsel left.

The bakery is open daily from 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., and is Disney Dining Plan eligible.

  • Yum! This is my favorite bakery! Can’t wait for the new changes!!!

  • Linda, wow, how cool is that? That is something normally seen only in a small town bakery. It’s nice to hear. We’re in the process of buying into DVC at Boardwalk. Love it there. Flame Dingers at ESPN? Please!

  • Happy to hear Boardwalk Bakery is open again. Will be visiting in September and looking forward to the fantastic peanut butter chocolate cake-no ones makes it like Disney! Has been my all time favorite dessert at WDW and on the Disney Cruise too. One year I arrived at the bakery and they told me they changed to a mousse instead. Seeing how disappointed I was the baker told me to come back the next day and she would have it for me which she did! They are the by far the “sweetest” cast members at WDW!

  • Perfect timing. The Epcot Flower & Garden Festival continues. Plus Friday The Orchestra starring former members of ELO & ELO II debuts @ The America Gardens Theater! Great sweets & great tweets will make for super Friday treats!

  • The new menu looks delic! I can’t wait to try it in May! We’ll be staying at the BWV!
