Contemporary Grounds

by | May 20, 2025 | Contemporary Resort, Dining, Quick-Service Restaurants

If you’re looking to grab a morning coffee and meal on your way into the theme parks or a mid-day pick-me-up while headed back to your room at Disney’s Contemporary Resort for a rest, pop by Contemporary Grounds. Home to gourmet coffees, iced tea, and plenty of baked goods, this quick-service coffee shop has everything you need.

Contemporary Grounds Location

You’ll find Contemporary Grounds on the first floor of the Contemporary Resort, right in the lobby between the check-in desks and the convention center entrance. 

Contemporary Grounds Menu

Contemporary Grounds, which is open early in the morning until mid-afternoon, offers your typical coffeehouse fare. Here, you’ll find plenty of coffee options, plus tea, hot chocolate, smoothies, and other beverages. Joffrey’s Coffee, the official coffee of Disney World, is what’s served here.

If you’re hoping for food, there are assorted artisan baked goods to browse and enjoy. It’s primarily pastries, though, so you won’t find hot entrées here like you may at some other early morning quick-service spots.

Is Contemporary Grounds Kid-Friendly?

While Contemporary Grounds is primarily a coffee shop with drinks for adults in search of caffeine, there are some options here for kids. Smoothies and pastries are great picks if you’re popping by with kids of any age, and everything is designed to be grab-and-go so you can eat while on your way to or from the parks.
