The Cable Car Bake Shop has reopened on Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland Paris. With the reopening, the interior has been refreshed, the backstory changed, and the menu updated.
Cable Car Bake Shop History & Backstory
![REVIEW: Cable Car Bake Shop Reopens with New Kiri Pastries at Disneyland Paris 1 cable car bake shop](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/05/cable-car-bake-shop-exterior.jpg)
The Cable Car Bake Shop is inspired by San Francisco, which was a popular European tourist destination in the late 1980s. Disney Imagineer Eddie Sotto and his creative team used the “painted ladies” style, which uses three or more colors to enhance the architectural details of a building, in the design of Cable Car Bake Shop.

Imagineers aimed to keep Cable Car Bake Shop a simple, warm, and fun space inspired by the San Francisco cable car system. Imagineer Connie Holtz lived in the San Francisco area during development and collected memorabilia from the city and the cable car system to use in the Cable Car Bake Shop.

The new backstory of Cable Car Bake Shop was shared by Walt Disney Imagineering on Instagram:
Our Disney Imagineers took the opportunity to revisit this classic location, enriching the place with a new storyline of a family-owned bakery, renowned for its delicious treats and friendly atmosphere. The cable car, which is synonymous with San Francisco, is still present throughout but with a new twist as the walls are now adorned with new graphics and photographs of this family who has one motto: “Putting a little kindness in everything we bake!” When tasked about creating these new set elements, Disney Imagineers made sure to be as authentic as possible by dressing up for the occasion with turn-of-the-century costumes, truly living up to our purpose: bringing our characters and stories to life.

Another new graphic across the restaurant features the “kindness” motto again.

This larger piece features families with an actual cable car, presumably the original Cable Car Bake Shop.

There’s a vintage-inspired stove in one corner.

The dining area has remained the same after the refurbishment.

Though the bakery is inspired by San Francisco, the upside-down fly fans in the dining area are based on those that Imagineers researched in a real New York City café.
![REVIEW: Cable Car Bake Shop Reopens with New Kiri Pastries at Disneyland Paris 31 dlp cable car bake shop 6739](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/05/dlp-cable-car-bake-shop-6739.jpg)
The thin dining area resembles a cable car. It has a tiled floor, stained glass lamps, and booths lining the space.

There are hot coffees and teas.

In addition to the more special pastries, there are standard croissants and pain au chocolat (a.k.a. chocolate croissants).

If you aren’t in the mood for a sweet treat, the Mickey-shaped sandwiches with pretzel bread are still available.
![REVIEW: Cable Car Bake Shop Reopens with New Kiri Pastries at Disneyland Paris 41 dlp cable car bake shop 6705](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/05/dlp-cable-car-bake-shop-6705.jpg)
There’s a vegetable sandwich and a ham sandwich, both now topped with Kiri cream cheese.
![REVIEW: Cable Car Bake Shop Reopens with New Kiri Pastries at Disneyland Paris 42 dlp cable car bake shop food 3635](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/05/dlp-cable-car-bake-shop-food-3635.jpg)
We tried some of the new Kiri products, many of which are named after San Francisco locations like Lombard St. and the Golden Gate Bridge.
Cheese & Kiri Quiche – 6.5€
![REVIEW: Cable Car Bake Shop Reopens with New Kiri Pastries at Disneyland Paris 43 dlp cable car bake shop food 3642](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/05/dlp-cable-car-bake-shop-food-3642.jpg)
Unfortunately, we didn’t start strong with the quiche. It had a chalky texture instead of a creamy one.
![REVIEW: Cable Car Bake Shop Reopens with New Kiri Pastries at Disneyland Paris 44 dlp cable car bake shop food 3643](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/05/dlp-cable-car-bake-shop-food-3643.jpg)
The flavor was bland with just a bit of a hard cheese taste at the end. It was bad.
Lombard St. Cupcake – 4.3€
Lemon cupcake, whipped Kiri cream cheese
![REVIEW: Cable Car Bake Shop Reopens with New Kiri Pastries at Disneyland Paris 45 dlp cable car bake shop food 3648](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/05/dlp-cable-car-bake-shop-food-3648.jpg)
This cupcake was solid enough that we were able to unwrap it with no issue, which is almost unheard of for Disney Parks cupcakes. It was also easy to cut through.
![REVIEW: Cable Car Bake Shop Reopens with New Kiri Pastries at Disneyland Paris 46 dlp cable car bake shop 3711](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/05/dlp-cable-car-bake-shop-3711-1200x675.jpg)
The cupcake’s consistency reminds us of cornbread. The filling has a delicious key lime flavor.
![REVIEW: Cable Car Bake Shop Reopens with New Kiri Pastries at Disneyland Paris 47 dlp cable car bake shop 6751](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/05/dlp-cable-car-bake-shop-6751.jpg)
The key lime taste combined with the whipped cream cheese is an odd combination, but it’s still a fine cupcake. Fans of key lime pie will probably like it.
Golden Gate Cheesecake – 5€
![REVIEW: Cable Car Bake Shop Reopens with New Kiri Pastries at Disneyland Paris 48 dlp cable car bake shop food 3640](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/05/dlp-cable-car-bake-shop-food-3640.jpg)
This cheesecake is better than most quick-service theme park cheesecakes. It’s heavy, filling, and rich.
![REVIEW: Cable Car Bake Shop Reopens with New Kiri Pastries at Disneyland Paris 49 dlp cable car bake shop food 3641](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/05/dlp-cable-car-bake-shop-food-3641.jpg)
It is almost one-third graham cracker crust, which could be a pro or a con depending on your cheesecake preferences, but we enjoyed it. All in all, this is a good treat.
Cable Car Carrot Cake – 4€
![REVIEW: Cable Car Bake Shop Reopens with New Kiri Pastries at Disneyland Paris 50 dlp cable car bake shop food 3654](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/05/dlp-cable-car-bake-shop-food-3654.jpg)
This carrot cake is soft, making it easy to cut and bite. The Kiri cream cheese is thankfully sweet without being overwhelming.
![REVIEW: Cable Car Bake Shop Reopens with New Kiri Pastries at Disneyland Paris 51 dlp cable car bake shop 6698](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/05/dlp-cable-car-bake-shop-6698.jpg)
It’s no carrot cake cookie, but it’s still good and is more like a traditional carrot cake.
![REVIEW: Cable Car Bake Shop Reopens with New Kiri Pastries at Disneyland Paris 52 dlp cable car bake shop 6690](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/05/dlp-cable-car-bake-shop-6690.jpg)
We prefer this over the cheesecake.
Presidio Muffin – 3.8€
Dark chocolate chunks
![REVIEW: Cable Car Bake Shop Reopens with New Kiri Pastries at Disneyland Paris 53 dlp cable car bake shop food 3652](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/05/dlp-cable-car-bake-shop-food-3652.jpg)
The muffin was also easy to unwrap. We were a little worried, seeing no dark chocolate chunks sticking out of the muffin, but there were plenty inside.
![REVIEW: Cable Car Bake Shop Reopens with New Kiri Pastries at Disneyland Paris 54 dlp cable car bake shop 6754](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/05/dlp-cable-car-bake-shop-6754.jpg)
It has the flavor profile of a pre-wrapped convenience store muffin, but it’s fresher. It’s a simple, decent breakfast option.
Eclair Tartlet – 5€
Sweet tartlet, caramel chocolate and caramelized pecan nuts, whipped Kiri cream cheese
![REVIEW: Cable Car Bake Shop Reopens with New Kiri Pastries at Disneyland Paris 55 dlp cable car bake shop food 3644](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/05/dlp-cable-car-bake-shop-food-3644.jpg)
We saved the best for last. The eclair tartlet is a more complex treat with an almost marzipan flavor. The caramel tastes homemade and the chocolate is good.
![REVIEW: Cable Car Bake Shop Reopens with New Kiri Pastries at Disneyland Paris 56 dlp cable car bake shop food 3645](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/05/dlp-cable-car-bake-shop-food-3645.jpg)
It tastes like a butter tart and is a surprisingly high-quality pastry for a quick-service bakery, especially compared to some of the other basic items found here.
![REVIEW: Cable Car Bake Shop Reopens with New Kiri Pastries at Disneyland Paris 57 dlp cable car bake shop 3713](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/05/dlp-cable-car-bake-shop-3713.jpg)
This is excellent and absolutely the best pastry at Cable Car Bake Shop. We would come back time and again to eat it.
