Red Rose Taverne at Disneyland has two new Halloween items on the menu this year: Enchanted Pumpkin Stuff and Autumnal Harvest Flatbread.
These items, and returning Halloween treats, are available at Red Rose Taverne through November 14. Mobile order is available at this quick-service venue.
*NEW* Autumnal Harvest Flatbread – $13.99
Roasted butternut squash purée, roasted mushrooms, feta and roasted diced butternut squash topped with garlic miso sauce and fried sage
This isn’t bad, but the texture of the flatbread base was a bit of a challenge. Was it stale? Was it supposed to be the consistency of a day-old pita? It’s firm without any crispiness. If it weren’t for the flatbread, this would have been a very good option. The fall flavors were solid, but it’s not for everyone.
NOTE: This was originally announced as a plant-based option, and it was supposed to use plant-based feta. However, it has since been updated and uses dairy-based feta cheese. It is not a plant-based dish and, therefore, not vegan.

*NEW* Enchanted Pumpkin Stuff – $7.29
Pumpkin mousse with pumpkin cake and apricot marmalade center topped with green sprinkles, silver stars, chocolate branch, and leaf
This twist on the classic “Grey Stuff” went from promising to gross pretty quickly. The culprits are the basic cake inside and the cookie on the bottom. The latter had a harsh spice note that we didn’t care for. It tasted like chemical nutmeg.
The pumpkin mousse was fine at first but had a bizarre artificial aftertaste. There are so many better sweet treats available at Disneyland Resort during Halloween Time. Skip this.

Maple French Toast Sandwich – $13.29
French toast with an egg patty, bacon, and muenster cheese served with maple syrup
This was previously available as the Gourmet Breakfast Sandwich and it’s still only available for breakfast. It’s better than it looks — still not great but okay. The toast is decent, and the egg patty is delicately flavored with herbs. It’s creamier and less chewy than you would expect from a premade egg patty. The bacon is crispy, and the muenster cheese is a good choice with a subtle yet buttery flavor, even though it leaks out.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Taverne Cold Brew – $6.79
Caramel, vanilla, and cinnamon cold brew with pumpkin cheesecake topper (Non-alcoholic)
This isn’t the worst cold brew we’ve had from Red Rose Taverne but it’s not particularly good. The drink is chunky and grainy. There’s an off-putting sour note at the end of each sip. It’s a miss for us.

Mickey Bat Cookie – $6.79
Shortbread bat cookie dipped in dark chocolate with a vampire Mickey face
We previously provided a review for this standard shortbread cookie after trying it at Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe. It is also available at Market House and The Coffee House. It is only available through October 31.
