incredible!!!

When my daughter tried to order her "dirty chai latte" (chai latte with a shot of expresso) they didn't know what that was and after she explained they asked if she wanted 5 shots of expresso(?). Once they got it figured out and made, she said it tasted like her usual Starbucks order. Just double check your order.

FF&P Cafe was stunning! The photos all over the walls of this fictional trio of girl singers, The Silver Lake Singers, were really great! It didn't look like they had finished propping but boy, it was already wonderful. So awesome having Starbucks there and it was the prettiest one I've been to. Having worked for Starbucks for four years now, I definitely understand the training for Starbucks (I am a learning coach for the company) and how it can be quite difficult for new partners. The CM's at the cafe are Disney employees and not only have to learn the Starbucks practices, but also Disney ones. The registers seemed to be the biggest issue on my visit but again I can understand have Starbucks' POS system can be overwhelming...but other than that the CM's were really great and working hard. I LOVED the abundance of indoor seating, especially the amount of spacious booths. There was also some nice patio seating outside on tables or under than beautiful oak.

Clarabelle's, while I didn't try, was also beautiful just like the rest of BVS.

[Fishbulb]

The FF&P is probably my new favorite place in Disney California Adventure. The sheer size of it compared to the old Burr-Bank Ice Cream location and La Brea Bakery was a jaw-Dropper.

This is the new dining room. WOW HUH???




On the wall there is an old Starbucks reference in the form of a cup

All of the stores, The FF&P, Claribelle's IceCream, and the new candy shop Trolly Treats are all connected

Can't wait to see it all. Hopefully next year sometime.

[WorldDisney]

Oh man, it just looks incredible! I peeked a little at the interiors and they look just as good if not better than a lot of the shops on MS!

I love they have out door seating! It will be a great place to grab a SB coffee, have a seat and watch the world go by!

[NettyVal09]

Extremely awesome cannot wait!

[stevek]

Hand-dipped Ice Cream bars at Clarabelle's = friggin awesome.

[dgpollard]

Thank you for providing so many detailed photographs and helpful information over the years leading up to now! It has been a thrill to watch and wait with anticipation these recent years with all that has transpired. And now that we have arrived at last, to this point in time to witness the historic unveiling of the "re-imagineered" Disney California Adventure park, gives me great joy and satisfaction. I look forward to sharing stories with my children and future grand children of this happy and most rememberable occasion.

[SoCalbma]

Here's a HD video that I recorded showing a Full walk-through of the First Starbucks Coffee location located on Buena Vista Street inside the Fiddler, Fifer and Practical Café.

I love this place! Finally they have an inside seating instead of seating outside.

[kburford]

Thank for the pretty pics! I'm excited to try out Carthay on Saturday even though the menu isn't very appealing to me. I just got back from disneyworld and would love to see items similar to the brown derby at hollywood studios over here. the cobb salad! and some truffled mushroom potatoes or risotto would make my LIFE. ...just in case any carthay head chefs are reading this

[DrAlice]

nevermind

[SoCalFan]

Carthay=amazing experience! Honestly, I was so impressed by the staff, food, drinks, and the wonderfully beautiful atmosphere at both the lounge and restaurant I will be for sure visiting again soon.

Keeping it simple...The lounge and restaurant feature an almost fully unique drink menu with great graphics. The pictures that adorn the walls are wonderful! Woodwork, lighting, just everything was so elegant and refined. We dined on the patio and was great to be so separated yet still be able to see the lights come on over BVS and hear the waterfall on the backside of Grizzly Peak. Drinks were unique and delicious and packed a punch! Food was also very fresh and perfectly proportioned. The staff...I could go on about how great, knowledgeable, accommodating, helpful, and friendly they ALL were. Each waitress could answer any question we had with a detailed answer, were incredibly on top of it, and were genuinely excited about the current abridged and future of the menu and future of the restaurant. The chef really makes to make this restaurant something special and great and they are doing every right thing to get there! I had to walk down BVS to the Chamber of Commerce and fill out CM compliment for all four of our wonderful attendants there.
