Disney’s Riviera Resort may be Disney World’s newest hotel, but it didn’t take long for it to become one of my family’s favorites. One reason we love it so much is the delicious food a the resort’s many restaurants; you can read about all the Riviera restaurants here. But today I want to give you a complete guide to Le Petit Cafe, including a review, menu info, and recommendations.
First of all, I have to start by talking about the amazing theming. It is supposed to give you a sophisticated taste of Paris. And I really like that and love the atmosphere. It is a great place to grab a bite and/or a drink and relax.
But as a fan of Disney animated classics, I particularly love the theming because of The Aristocats connection. That movie was set in Paris, and the Le Petit Cafe was featured in it. Honestly, I did not put that together until I saw the picture hanging up. And then I got really excited!
I recognized the geese and the art style, so I grabbed my phone to look it up and found out that, yes, Le Petit Café did get its name from the movie. So the theming already won me over.
Le Petit Café Set Up
Le Petit Café is not particularly large.
It is located right beside the lobby. There are only a few tables and chairs at the cafe. But you can take your food and eat it outside or in your room if you can’t find a seat.
At any rate, Le Petit Café isn’t really a full-service restaurant. They sell a lot of pastries and desserts. It is a great choice for breakfast. And it is a really good choice for drinks.
Le Petit Café Drinks
Le Petit Café is a great place to go at both the beginning and end of the day. They have coffee to get your day at the Walt Disney World theme parks going. You can get Regular or Decaf Freshly Brewed Joffrey’s Coffee French Roast (fittingly).

So the drinks alone are reason to visit Le Petit Café. But that’s not all they have.
Le Petit Café Food
I really love all of the pastries and food I have had here. They have made wonderful snacks or breakfasts. For example, I really like their blueberry muffins.
From time to time, they will also sell specialty cupcakes based. This could be seasonal (such as for the holiday season, springtime, etc.) or it could be based on a Disney anniversary. For example, look at this special cupcake I got during Disney World’s 50th Anniversary.
It was a Vanilla Cupcake with Cake-flavored Mousse, Caramel-Buttercream Icing, Crisp Pearls, 50th Anniversary Sprinkles, and a whimsical Gold Mickey. It was very delicious. So depending on when you visit, you could get a special cupcake like that.
Le Petit Café Closing Thoughts
Le Petit Café is a great place to get a drink or a quick bite to eat. It is especially great at:
- Breakfast, where you can get coffee and a pastry
- The afternoon, where you can have tea and a pastry
- The evening, when you can cap off your day at the parks with a nice alcoholic beverage
Please note, though, that if you go here for breakfast, it could get very crowded. You can buy similarly priced items at Primo Piatto, so you could consider ordering your breakfast there on your My Disney app in order to save time.
