The Cake Bake Shop Disney Afternoon Tea – Honest Review

March 11, 2025 · In: Disney World, Travel

The Cake Bake Shop Disney Tea Review

If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen that I finally went to The Cake Bake Shop Afternoon Tea! The Cake Bake Shop Disney location has definitely drawn some eyes to it since opening last fall at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort. We tried their lunch/dinner food back in November, but I knew I wanted to try their afternoon tea service ASAP. Today I wanted to share my experience at The Cake Bake Shop Afternoon Tea.

Booking & Pricing

How do you book the afternoon tea experience? This isn’t an offering you can do walk-up – you need to book it in advance! You can either call or email them via the contact information you can find on this webpage. I utilized email and they got back to me within 24 hours and got everything scheduled for me! This process was super easy and painless.

You do pay before you go and 18% gratuity is automatically added. Some people have an issue with this but personally I see it as many other Disney dining experiences that automatically add gratuity or have gratuity included in the rate, such as Cinderella’s Royal Table. I would assume you can always slip your wait staff some extra cash if you’d like to give them more!

My friend and I attended and for the two of us it was $247.95 after tax and gratuity – so a little less than $125 per person. This is about on par price wise for a luxury tea in my experience.

The Experience

This experience from start to finish was top notch, just like my previous The Cake Bake Shop experience! The staff is always friendly and welcoming. And our dedicated server, and his trainee, were excellent! They were incredibly knowledgable and no details were spared.

Upon arrival at our table we noticed they had customized these welcome cards for each of us! Such an amazing touch and it made us both smile. The tables were all beautifully set and of course the ambiance in The Cake Bake Shop as a whole is truly second to none.

Stunning details of millwork, the ceilings were drenched in pink flowers. And of course their iconic carousel display in the main dining room was decked out as per usual. Being in The Cake Bake Shop is like stepping into a beautiful dream.

The Tea

Of course this is an afternoon tea experience, so there will be a tea selection! I love that everything was displaying in a menu in addition to it being beautifully presented in front of you by the staff.

When I say the tea display I gasped! Just STUNNING. And the bow toppers? Icing on the cake. But I don’t know why I would expect anything less from The Cake Bake Shop.

We were presented with six tea options and were thoroughly presented to about each one, the flavors, and what it may or may not pair well with. While presenting it we were also offered to smell the loose leafs so we could get a better understanding for what we may or may not enjoy.

The tea is unlimited and each tea pot comes with about two cups worth. Plus they asked for our milk preferences and gave us sweeteners and such. You can try as many of the teas as you’d like which makes for a fun tasting experience as well.

We were also served still water at our table. If you want any additional drinks, including alcohol, you are able to add that to your tab for an extra charge!

The Food

As for food, we were started with a seasonal scone. Since it was winter time we got an orange cranberry scone. I honestly don’t really like scones – or maybe I’ve never had a good one… Until now! The scone was warm, fresh, and HUGE. It was served alongside jam, clotted cream (my favorite), and European butter. All paired perfectly with it. I wanted to save space for the rest of our “meal” and our served offered to box up the rest of my scone for me to take home.

Then the tower arrived. It had a mix of sweets and savories. The tea sandwiches were delicious. It featured classic offerings like cucumber with goat cheese, chicken salad, egg salad, and salmon with cream cheese. I loved them all! I don’t normally like chicken or egg salad – but these were perfection.

The second layer of the tower featured a selection of their bars. We had lemon bars, a fruit cobbler bar, and an “everything” bar (chocolate, nuts, etc). We were truly reaching our breaking point already but I tried bites of each and they were all delicious! But I am personally biased to a lemon bar.

And finally the top layer featured The Cake Bake Shop’s iconic chocolate cake (in mini form), macarons, and more! While we did both taste the chocolate cake, which was fresh and fabulous, we did end up taking most of it to-go.

The staff being so willing to box everything you don’t finish is so great! Next time I go I’ll definitely schedule it for the beginning of my vacation so I have treats for the rest of my stay!

Is It Worth It?

I’ll cut to the chase – YES! This was certainly worth it in my opinion. The service was superb, the food was delicious, and the ambiance is second to none.

For how much you pay you get a great amount of food, and everyone else doing the tea around us was also taking goodies home. They suggested us blocking a hour and a half for our experience, but it did end up running a bit longer. But honestly, I loved that it was a ~2 hour experience as you get your money’s worth in terms of an activity as well!

While this isn’t the cheapest dining experience on Disney property it is one of the most luxe and in my opinion is priced accordingly to the service and food quality!

Would I Do It Again?

I would certainly do this again! My friend who attended with me isn’t nearly as big of a Disney fan as I am, and she wants to go back as well. I definitely want to take my Mom and sister here, and even my husband, for tea.

I think this is the perfect thing to do for a special occasion – we saw a family celebrating a graduation when we were there. And The Cake Bake Shop can even help you host events like birthdays and showers. So if you’re local or are traveling for an event like that I’d definitely consider this if you’re into a feminine vibe!

I hope you all enjoyed this review of The Cake Bake Shop Afternoon Tea! I really enjoyed myself and already want to make another visit.

Cheers!

The best part of any beach trip is showering after a long day in the water and throwing on your favorite sun dress with your fresh tan🤍 I am obsessed with this new one I snagged for only $35 - plus the perfect purse to match🐚

Genuinely if I have $1 for every time I’ve been told I “don’t belong in Western PA” - I’d have enough money to move to the southern city of my choosing😂 But seriously - I’ve gotten these comments since I was in middle school! 

I’ve heard it said PA is 10 years behind on fashion👀 I can confirm people don’t understand me or my Lorna Murray hat I bought back in 2022👒

Getting vulnerable for a second: I love creating content and blogging but photographing myself lately, especially on this trip, has been rough for my self-esteem. While curating this post I was second guessing even posting these pictures because I didn’t like the way my body looked. Over the past month I’ve been on a regimen of medications that have thrown my body through a loop have had me not feeling myself. Even a “healthy” diet and daily exercise can’t reverse the side effects I’m experiencing and it’s been hard for me to reconcile that. In this process I’ve been reminding myself I don’t look at others around me or people I follow online and analyze their bodies or looks. 

So this is your reminder that we’re overthinking ourselves more than others are thinking about us. And it’s easier said than done, but give yourself grace through all seasons of life🤍
