I love this place. It’s a great place to grab dessert after a long day, or even an affordable dinner. They serve sandwiches and hamburgers. They have a great theme as well, sort of like a 1950’s diner, ice cream, soda shop theme, as the name implies. There is one great dessert here called the kitchen sink. If my memory serves me, you can get every scoop of ice-cream in the shop, plus all the toppings, and a whole can of whip cream all in a giant bowl that is shaped like a kitchen sink! They also have an incredible peanut butter dessert call the No Way Jose, that is to die for. Though if youre a peanut butter fan, like me, you might want to order extra peanut butter, because they can be a little skimpy. If you arent in the mood for a sit down meal, you can order togo ice cream from their walk up bar. This restaurant has a bar, inside, and outside tables for seating. They also take reservations, which I recommend because this place can get busy. If the weather is nice, why not request a table outside near the pool? The pool is very nice and it even has sand in it! If you are in the Resort area, this place is not to be missed, especially for dessert!

We were here around 4pm on a weekday and it wasnt as crowded as I had expected. There were probably 2-3 open tables when we arrived but got to sit at the counter and watch all the cast members work their magic. Dominica was our waiter and she was super sweet, just like our Mickey Kitchen Sink! Even though their to-go line was packed, Dominica and crew kept their cool and were extremely professional and courteous. We only came for dessert and it was absolutely fantastic! The Mickey Kitchen Sink came in a plastic Mickey Mouse pants bowl with strawberry/vanilla/chocolate ice cream combo. Toppings? No shortage here! Whip cream, chocolate fudge, peanut butter & jelly, pineapples, sprinkles, brownies, Oreo cookies, and of course multiple cherries on top! It was scrumptious and we couldnt be happier. The Mickey Kitchen Sink is great for a couple, and the full size sink would probably cover 4 people. Great service + delicious ice cream = awesome time! Dominica offered to take a photo of us with the dessert and even offered to wash our Mickey pants before heading out so we could keep the souvenir! Great first time experience!

Great ice cream specials in a fun (but tiny) soda fountain atmosphere. Its really rare that you can walk up and get a table here, so be sure to make reservations well ahead of time, especially if youre a party of 3+. Counter seating is generally first-come, first serve but only about 8 seats are available. Burgers and sandwiches and hot dogs, all delicious. If youre feeling adventurous, try the "Kitchen Sink Sundae" but beware - its pricey and feeds at least 6 people. Some ice cream treats are available to carry out, but check the carryout menu before deciding to do takeout because its limited.

Beaches & Cream makes you nostalgic for the past. From their vintage decorations to the seersucker material the waiter and waitresses clothing are made out of. You should make a reservation when going here so they will have a spot ready for you. If you dont have a reservation you can just go up and be put on the wait list. You may be waiting there from 40 minutes to 3 hours. The Kitchen Sink is amazing and will satisfy anyone with a sweet tooth. It has 8 scoops of ice cream, every topping they have, and a full can of whipped cream. Yes, it does come in a kitchen sink and is well worth it.

Beside a small glitch with the staff forgetting my coke float that was part of a large order, the staff was phenomenal and the food was great and moderately priced for Disney (my float was only $6). You can watch them make burgers from fresh ground beef, or see them put together one of the many tasty desserts. If you are feeling brave you can order the $32 kitchen sink like we did. Thats was way more ice cream than we could ever handle. Lastly, our waiter Matt was more than happy to make sure our autistic son was taken care of and even took a selfie with him. Highly recommended.

Terrible !!! I always come here and bring friends and family. For the first time we were treated like nothing by the employee CASANDRA. She made us wait for more than one hour. Thats ok because we were waiting for a table. After one hour waiting to order the ice cream sink , she wanted to place us at the counter. She never told us about it and we were waiting more than one hour for the table. She just made faces and could care about it. I asked for her name and with big attitude showed the badge. I did not know that was the way DISNEY HIRE THEIR EMPLOYEES.

Generally you have to make a reservation here if you prefer a sit-down style meal or ice cream treat. But theres also a counter booth and to-go line with waiting times that vary. Its definitely worth coming to at least try to be seated or to get ice cream to go if the lines arent too long. If youre lucky enough to be in the restaurant when the kitchen sink is announced, youre in for a treat. And if youre seated, try the grilled cheese with tomato bisque! And dont forget to befriend your server! The cast members make your experience that much greater!

Wow, what a place! My family of 4 ordered the Kitchen Sink. The best way to describe it: disgustingly delicious! All flavours and all toppings plopped into one massive bowl. When it arrives at your table, the lights dim and its announced! SOOO COOL!! It was so big, we couldnt finish it; between the FOUR of us!! I dont know how we left without upset stomachs but wow, that was a heck of a lot of ice cream! Its a small restaurant and there can be long waits, even with reservations, but its a nice stop on an Epcot day with easy access to the park.

A cozy little spot that feels exactly like something youd find downtown in a small midwestern town. Yet, this is Disney-fied, which means everything is bigger. The menu is amazing it can quite easily become difficult to choose. However, no matter how tempting it may be, Id suggest staying away from the Kitchen Sink. It quickly becomes a challenge and therefore nowhere near as enjoyable as many of the other items on their spectacular menu.

Prompt service - but its frustrating that reservations are so hard to get. You really have to book this 5-6 mo the out. The tomato bisque and grilled cheese is great. Families come here for the Kitchen Sink - a ridiculous amount of ice cream and a whole can of whipped cream!!! Its good value, all desserts are a great size and the ice cream is delicious! Well worth a visit if you can get in!

Was extremely crowded when w we went. Was a little difficult to squeeze 4 Burgers sides, & drinks on the small tables. Otherwise the atmosphere was great. CMs made the experience awesome, kid next to me should have Ben controlled by the parent a little better, not letting him jumping up and down on and of his chair every 5 seconds. Did i mention he was about 14 yrs old and eating
