Disney has shared a first look at some of the new food and drink that will be on offer at the upcoming Boardwalk Deli at Walt Disney World.

The new quick service restaurant replaces the existing BoardWalk Bakery, and is expected to open mid-August 2022.

Breakfast

Some of these options include an Everything Bagel Sandwich with cage-free eggs, sausage, and cheddar cheese, a Bagel Breakfast Sandwich with cage-free eggs, bacon, sweet caramelized onions, and cheddar cheese, or a Plant-based Ciabatta Sandwich with “egg” Florentine, plant-based cheese, tomato jam, and arugula that provides an exciting contrast of flavors

Lunch and Dinner

Choose from a variety of cold and hot deli sandwiches served on traditional marble rye, fluffy ciabatta or soft and springy focaccia breads. As with the breakfast bagels, all breads are baked fresh in-house.

The signature Italian Sub is built with layer upon layer of thinly sliced capicola, sopressata, and pepperoni with provolone, arugula, tomato, arugula pesto, and mayonnaise on fresh-baked ciabatta bread. The savory Warm Pastrami Reuben is a classic deli staple, with generous rolls of thin-sliced warm pastrami topped with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing on marble rye bread.

For a plant-based twist on a classic favorite, the Veggie Crunch Muffaletta is stacked with cured and pickled root vegetables, an olive-giardiniera tapenade and plant-based cheese, served on focaccia. 

You can also opt for a Roasted Chicken Sandwich with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and roasted garlic aioli served on ciabatta or the Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Tomato Soup –a classic guest favorite.

To round off your meal, add a whole dill pickle, made in-house with the perfect amount of crunch and tanginess. All of the sandwiches are served with a side of house-made chips, creamy coleslaw, or soup.

Bakery Items

Cannolis are filled to order in a crispy shell with a creamy blend of mascarpone cheese, ricotta, and shaved dark chocolate, with a hint of lemon zest and a touch of Mickey. The Blueberry Scone is made with crème fraiche and topped with pearl sugar.

Northeastern classics include the New Jersey Crumbcake, a moist cake with a thick cinnamon-crumb topping, or the iconic New York-style Half-moon Cookie topped with rich chocolate ganache and buttercream.

For pastry-lovers, there is the delicate chocolate-dipped Cream Puff, hand-piped with silky custard, and the Raspberry Danish layered with velvet custard, fresh raspberries, and sugar crumble. The warm and gooey Cinnamon Yummies make a return. Lastly, there are some tried-and-true classics like cookies, Brownie Cheesecake, brownies, the Cookies & Cream Cupcake, and the 50th Anniversary Celebration Cupcake.

Drinks

The beverage lineup includes organic wine spritzes by Ramona in flavors of dry grapefruit, blood orange, and meyer lemon. Craft cocktails are also available including Social Hour: Sunkissed Fizz, a bright and juicy vodka fizz that balances notes of ripe fruit and crisp citrus or the Prizefighter, a bold and refreshing Collins built around the classic combo of whiskey and peach.

    Perhaps, to me it reminded me of the Disneyland Paris Hotel, just the classic vibe!

    I'm being legit, I only went in once since and must not paid attention how awful. 😔 Gazing the monorails come and go was the crown jewel! ✨️

    You are vastly overrating that store. It was never more than barely average.

    Are you asking legit or being sarcastic lol,,,,in that refresh ( GF ) they blocked the floor windows that went all the way around with shelving etc, so you can't see out anymore, making the whole space feel smaller tighter and unappealing.

    aladdin20075 days ago

    I can certainly understand your points...I guess I just don't like any of these mishmash changes they are making. I wish Imagineering was in control, I don't believe they have a hand in any of this being done. Its all local TDO management accountants.

    I regularly tear into Disney for theme downgrades. And yes 2 of the like 8-10 M Mouse Mercantile windows were closed up in the refresh. The minty sea foam green is beachy and contained INSIDE the store unlike Enchanted Rose’s massive blue wall in the corridor I just don’t think the M Mouse Mercantile refurbishment was the travesty everyone thinks it was. My hot take. I don’t blame bland merch on a store either. WDW as a whole has bland same thing in every store merchandising for almost 2 decades at this point

    well the Boardwalks was always larger than the Gf's, but why oh why they blocked all the windows up there in the GF store was just stupid. They are doing stupid things like this across the property, like we said before anything that was nice they are doing away with. And yes nothing matters now but grab and go and get out.

    Aww The Grand Floridian store was quiticentsial pure Disney charm and classic ✨️ feel and heart like you would find in other resorts around the world. Now it's removed and doesn't even feel it belongs within. Plus it looks barren like minimal merchandise than before, probably how the merch is arranged. It's basically grab and go see the merch and who cares. The difference between The Boardwalk just in my opinion was it wasn't a store I would want to stay long in vs GF.

    The merchandising issues could just be prep for when tariffs hit as so much of the clothing, accessories, keepsakes, pins etc are sourced from outside the US and any substantial price hikes are going to hit sales turnover.

    From just now. Shop is much brighter. I wouldn’t say it’s “less themed” it’s just different. It was busy so I didn’t take wide shots, but it doesn’t feel empty of fixtures. I would give it a B+. 851704

    It’s doing pretty well. Thematically? Up for debate. However, as mentioned lots on this forum, the boardwalk is missing a proper quick service, the deli isn’t built to function as that. (As I am typing this there are people behind me having this exact conversation about lack of proper QSR at this resort) I’m walking over to check out the shops and will report back.

    Anyone know how the CBS is doing? I didn't think it was a good fit but been wrong at least three times today so 🤷‍♂️

    Wider and emptier isn't the problem. It's the continuation of taking a lot of the theming away and making it all the same. It looks no different than a gift shop you find in most major hotels

    castlecake2.07 days ago

    I think sometimes the photo lens used makes the area look wider and emptier than in person
