Review: 2025 Garden Graze at EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
What’s good at the Garden Graze? This EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival food stroll highlights plant-based dishes from the event’s menus. Plant-based can be a dicey bite; some dishes come that way, some require Impossible™ things, and neither is a predictor of great taste. Our picks for the best places to get your stamps (and collect your prize!) are below.
Garden Graze Basics
Before we begin our vegetarian promenade, let’s review the rules. Start by picking up a Festival Passport; you’ll find them at the park entrances and in many other places around the event. On page 40 is a listing of the dishes in the Graze – ten this year – and on page 41 is a space for your stamps.
For each dish that you buy, you’ll get a stamp. When you’ve got 5 stamps, take your Passport to the Pineapple Promenade Outdoor Kitchen to redeem your prize. This year’s prizes are a packet of wildflower seeds and a Dole Whip in a keepsake plastic cup.

A couple of notes: you don’t need to finish the whole Graze in one day – keep your partially stamped Passport and come back on a different day to finish. You can turn in your Passport any time through the end of the Festival on June 2. And, you don’t need to buy 5 different dishes! If you just want the grilled corn five times, it counts! But depending on the Cast Member at the register, you may need to go through the line 5 times – or not.
Recommended Garden Graze Dishes
Bauernmarkt: Potato Pancakes with Applesauce
It’s comfort food, but in the best, most delicious way possible. The homemade applesauce tastes like home and the pancakes are perfect. This is always a reliable pick at Flower & Garden and it didn’t disappoint.
BRUNCHCOT: Avocado Toast
This is as fresh and delicious as it is beautiful. It can be a challenge to eat because it’s loaded with so much goodness. But the mess is worth it!
La Isla Fresca: Coconut-Chocolate Flancocho
The Passion Fruit Caramel was our favorite part of this dish. We wanted it in a bowl to make sure we got every last drop – or better yet, a cup! The chocolate cake part was on the dry side but the coconut custard was delightful.
Beach Grub: Grilled Street Corn on the Cob
Maybe it’s because you can watch this grilled just next to the kitchen, but we love this dish. The vegan “cheese” coating and garlic spread are unreal. You won’t want to share, and we say it’s worth it to just get your own.
Refreshment Outpost: Seasonal Fruit Parfait
This dish is an absolute home run. We love mango Dole Whip; leveling up with the chili sauce just knocks it out of the park. The portion size was great too.
The Citrus Blossom: Lumpia
A perfectly snack-sized portion for a solid contender. Nothing to write home about, but if these are your flavors then you won’t be at all sorry that you tried it.
Trowel & Trellis: Farmhouse Meatball
We are not often fans of Impossible meat, but this was a great use of it. The lentil bread was a great pairing, and we didn’t find the same metallic Impossible taste in this dish that we’ve had in the past.
Garden Graze Dishes to Skip
BrunchCOT: Biscuit and Gravy
We tried this twice to make sure, but no part of it is edible. The biscuit is a rock, the patty is flavorless, and the gravy was cold on both our samples.
Refreshment Outpost: Jamaican Beef Patty
The spicy papaya syrup is lovely and the dish is beautiful. But looks aren’t everything and the pastry was very tough. So tough that it was tough to get past it, and we can’t recommend this.
The Citrus Blossom: Lemon Tart
We love a lemon dessert, but this is unfortunately a hard no. The crust had no flavor and the filling didn’t set up. You can definitely do better.
