What diners say — our read

Recent diners are rating this place better than the back catalogue suggests. Reviewers who mention service rate this place 4.4 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.

If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (23 reviews). One subject never comes up here: how clean the place looks. The split is 24 positive to 2 negative across 27 rated reviews, with 1 in the middle.

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (96/100) with 1 intermediate and 1 basic violations. DBPR last walked in on January 28, 2026. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 66% of the restaurants we score. The citations behind that grade include dishwashing facilities.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The individual reviews are below, newest first, if you want the raw material.

    A visit to Beaches & Cream Soda Shop is a must-do for our family whenever we’re at Disney! The food was delicious, but the real star of the show was the famous “Kitchen Sink” sundae. Watching it come out with all the fanfare was almost as fun as eating it! Everything was fresh, tasty, and served with a fun, old-fashioned soda shop atmosphere. The portions were generous, and sharing the Kitchen Sink made for a memorable family experience filled with lots of laughs (and plenty of ice cream). The service was friendly, and the whole experience felt like a special treat. If you’re looking for a fun dessert destination at Disney, Beaches & Cream is absolutely worth it! 🍨🥄✨

    This place is pretty authentic! It's also pretty exciting; every time someone orders their giant sundae, they shut the lights off and shout about it while flashing lights go off. The food is great and it's usually a pretty quick turn around. A must stop if you're in the area of Yacht and Beach Club or even the Boardwalk and Epcot.

    Had a sample of the watermelon sorbet while dining at Morning Glory next door today.The watermelon was so flavorful and natural tasting. An absolutely refreshing treat for a hot summer day! We will definitely make this our go to spot for gelato and sorbet.

    Cool people, highly recommend

  • June 20, 2026

    Great services, the best food in the area

  • June 20, 2026

    Great ice cream, staff was super nice. Jes is great

  • June 19, 2026

    Disappointed in the brownie. Tomato bisque soup was good. Had to get a 2nd because kids gobbled it up.

  • June 12, 2026

    the service was incredibly slow and we had multiple mistakes in our orders. We went for a quick lunch and we were there for almost three hours. When we told our server our orders were wrong, after waiting for a long time already, almost seemed annoyed that we even brought it up.

  • June 11, 2026

    Delicious ice cream and family fun!!

  • June 10, 2026

    Good sundaes and entertaining setting at Disney. We found it while taking an evening walk on the Disney boardwalk. The burgers also looked really good, but we only tried the sundaes for dessert

  • June 10, 2026

    Just a short walk from the World Showcase in EPCOT, Beaches and Cream is Disney’s famous ice cream shop serving up burgers, shakes, & sundaes! If you’ve got a larger crew willing to share, try the kitchen sink - a massive sundae with 8 scoops of ice cream & all the toppings they have!

    Getting on the waitlist, beware: When you get placed on the waitlist rather than having a timed reservation, they will tell you that the only place available is the bar, you will NOT be seated at a table. They will not inform you of that when getting on the waitlist but when you wait an hour and go to sit down with your family, they place you in a single line where you cannot talk with one another, and that is your only option as a place to sit. IT’S A VERY UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR FAMILY. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN ALL THE YEARS I’VE BEEN COMING HERE THAT I HAVE BEEN DENIED A NORMAL TABLE WHEN ASKING FOR ONE.

    Party of 6 enjoyed: 1) Thick, juicy Angus cheese burgers (x2), 2) Grilled cheese and tomato bisque was delicious, Chili is amazing, especially on the tots. Grandma had a Ruben, she said it was 'delish'. Uncle had a patty melt that was also amazing along with frozen sunshine shake. Grandpa had the Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich dripping with juice. We topped off with shared desserts of No Way Jose (we added bananas, decadent), and. Mudslide brownie for the chocoholics. James, our server, was attentive and amazing. Great way to start off a magical stay!

  • May 17, 2026
