As invited media, Disney provided WDWNT with a gift card for food and beverages, so some of the following coverage was hosted. As always, WDWNT will still provide our honest thoughts on all below.
Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe at Disneyland has a Halloween menu full of new limited-time treats, including the Jack-o’-Lantern Mickey Pumpkin Macaron.
The other new Halloween menu items are the Spiced Bundt Cake, Caramel Apple Cheesecake, Apple Almond Croissant, Hazelnut Brownie Tart with Chocolate Frosting, and Pear Blackberry Cheesecake Crostata. Returning items include the Pumpkin Muffin and Mickey Bat Cookie.
All of these are available through November 14, except the Jack-o’-Lantern Mickey Pumpkin Macaron and Mickey Bat Cookie, which are only available through October 31.
Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe is on Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland Park and offers mobile order.
*NEW* Jack-O’-Lantern Mickey Pumpkin Macaron – $8.29
Pumpkin macaron shell filled with caramel buttercream and pumpkin cheesecake
We were a bit split on how much we loved this, but it ultimately pleased everybody. The filling alternates between caramel and pumpkin cheesecake so your bites will vary, and it’s hard to get one bite that features all the flavors.
In the end, it’s a great treat with a unique, cute presentation.

*NEW* Spiced Bundt Cake – $6.79
Spiced cake filled with cream cheese frosting and topped with purple glaze, sprinkles, and spiced mousse with a Mickey chocolate decoration
This was a little light for a bundt cake. The spices were there, and it certainly tasted like fall, but it could have used something more creative to put it over the top. Perhaps a filling or a caramel center. It was well prepared, just not enough to get it a 7/7.

*NEW* Caramel Apple Cheesecake – $7.29
Caramel cheesecake with a caramelized apple filling, green-colored white chocolate mousse, chocolate flakes, and chocolate bat decoration
The Caramel Apple Cheesecake had a texture more delicate than your usual cheesecake. It was closer to a mousse. The taste of the cheesecake is sweet and the apple filling helps boost the treat.
Still, something was lacking that couldn’t be saved by a chocolate bat. This left us feeling a little disappointed.

*NEW* Apple Almond Croissant – $8.29
Apple-stuffed croissant with almond topping
This tastes like a deconstructed apple pie with almonds and powdered sugar sprinkled on top. The crunch of the almonds gives it a great texture. It was warm inside, making it all the more appetizing. There are no surprises here — what you see is what you get. But what you get is satisfying.

*NEW* Hazelnut Brownie Tart with Chocolate Frosting – $5.49
Hazelnut spread and brownie filling topped with chocolate frosting and sprinkles
We didn’t really taste the hazelnut but the chocolate was wonderful. The tart wasn’t hard or stale but moist and fresh. The center tasted just like a chocolate brownie.
It’s easy to share this treat because it’s so big. For the price, this is definitely worth it.

*NEW* Pear Blackberry Cheesecake Crostata – $6.79
Fresh pears with New York cheesecake and blackberry jam in pie crust topped with caramel
The blackberry flavor was easily overpowered by the pears. It’s a nice treat to look at and fun to share but was forgettable. The other options at this location were better than this one. Maybe if it was somewhere else, the rating would have been higher, but it was overshadowed by everything else here.

Pumpkin Muffin – $5.29
topped with cream cheese icing
The pumpkin muffin is a solid choice and one of Jolly Holiday’s better muffins. It’s baked perfectly with a firm, crisp top and soft, moist bottom. The cream cheese topping makes it feel almost like a cupcake. The pumpkin flavor isn’t overpowering, so any level of pumpkin lover will like this.

Mickey Bat Cookie – $6.79
Shortbread bat cookie dipped in dark chocolate with a vampire Mickey face
This is a standard shortbread cookie with chocolate frosting. It’s nothing special but Mickey’s face makes it a cute seasonal offering.

The Mickey Bat Cookie is also available at Market House, Red Rose Taverne, and The Coffee House.
