One of my favorite touches (And you can see it in the photo from IU that I'll pull), is that it seems to use TV Lighting equipment for the use of lighting in the quick service (which, it is);

Regarldess if they were or were not from the concept art, I love that; and it adds a nice touch.

Also, the Orange tube lights on the walls are great.

If anybody can get a photo of this delicious-sounding bagel toast that would be awesome.

Had the pastrami. It wasn't very good, especially at the price. The earl Greg cream puff was much better, but for that price and that size, I'd rather have Voodoo Donut. Ymmv though.

I love the custom bend LED light wall!

You were saying?

My complaint, is more of a small grimace (As I do understand that this isn't supposed to be anything major), is that they should've had more seating for this on the inside. I've seen Starbuck's that are larger than this for the indoors.

As Alicia said, that's a lot more seating indoors than they had before. When it was the Boulangerie more people (including us always) sat outside on the patio than inside. The outside seating is great for people watching, the characters come by there often, and the band plays across the street every hour or so.....It's really not a big space so they did pretty decent with the seating for what they had. This is a smallish QS establishment, not large like a Mel's Diner or Monsters Cafe.

Ballpark on prices? Not listed on menu.

Looks to be around $12 to $15 per lunch entree, with a side (fruit or potato salad).

Edit: So, similar as it was before.

Edit 2: adjusted up a bit

12 to 14 dollars for sandwich, the cream puff was 5, and the (unbranded) coffee woulda been 4.29.

Jinx, Brian owes me a coke

The menu says “SALADS” and the sign outside says “SALAD” y’all, I can’t live like this lol.

Anyways the inside is cute and clean, and the food looks like it’s good. It’s out of my price range but honestly that’s all theme park food. I’ll stick to bringing sandwiches in my backpack.

Croissant and bacon replaced by ciabatta and shaved ham on the egg cheese breakfast I would get at the old place...I still like that corner and I imagine I would still grab breakfast there if/when the opportunity presents itself.

Menu signs without prices grind my gears.

Might be for preview/soft opening until they settle on price?

I sort of doubt it.

Normally when menus don’t have prices listed, it’s because they want you to blindly buy the food without thinking about price. When people see price, it often turns them off.

The handouts will probably never have prices, yea. The menus Voodoo hands you while you wait don’t have prices either. I thought people were saying that even the signs behind the registers don’t have prices. Those need prices.

EDIT: They are on the boards. Last two pics in this tweet.

The prices aren’t on the handout menu, but are on the digital menu at the register.

I feel like Chicken Guy does the same, but can't remember for sure.

Many theme park places do it.

If you have to ask what the price is, you can't afford it. (Present day Disney/Universal Theme Park philosophy)

Few things:

1. It's pretty spacious for a small footprint.
2. Food was good for what it is. Breakfast is served until 11 am, after that - it's all lunch.
3. It will be in soft opening starting tomorrow until the grand opening.

Beyond that, again, this is a small QS spot - and a much-needed improvement to the former Boulangerie. This ain't supposed to be anything but what it is - a place to grab a quick, simple bite. To use baseball lingo - it's a nice single up the middle. No need for this to be a homerun.
