Doughnuts, cookies, and cocktails, oh my! We feel wicked after trying all the new “Wicked” treats available throughout Universal Orlando Resort.
Wicked Treats at Universal Orlando Resort
Voodoo Doughnut
Voodoo Doughnut in CityWalk offers two “Wicked” doughnuts. The Enchantingly Emerald Doughnut is inspired by Elphaba while the Perfectly Pink Doughnut is inspired by Glinda.
Enchantingly Emerald Doughnut – $4.50
This was not for us. It tastes like apple pie filling, but at the same time is super sour… and super messy. We would not recommend this. If you love apple pie, try it.

Perfectly Pink Doughnut – $4.50
On the other hand, we loved this doughnut! It tastes like Froot Loops to us. It’s an old-fashioned doughnut, and ours was fresh and not overly sweet. The butterfly on top is made of edible paper! We would definitely get this again.

Island Market & Export Candy Shoppe
Island Market & Export Candy Shoppe is in Port of Entry at Universal Islands of Adventure and has several “Wicked” confections.
Wicked Cookie – $7
This is your average sugar cookie, but ours was not too sweet. We thought it was a great, mess-free treat. It’s dry, but that’s how sugar cookies can be. We would eat this again, but make sure to have a drink on hand for the dryness.

Wicked Cupcake – $7
This cupcake sports an insane amount of icing, which somewhat resembles mashed potatoes. The cake itself is average, with some surprise sprinkles baked into the center.
If you love icing, this is for you, it’s literally just sugar. The stones on top were just multicolored rock candy.

Witch Hat Cone – $12
We question why this odd treat is priced at $12. It’s heavy, with too much chocolate covering the cone. This is Florida, it’s hot. It has cookie dough inside, but we’d rather buy the cone without the cookie dough.

Pretzel Wand – $5
We loved this! The saltiness helped cut the sugary sweet flavors of all the other treats we had tried so far. This is a heavy pretzel, coated with chocolate… meaning it will melt. Even so, the pretzel is nice and crisp, perfectly crunchy and salty.

The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium and Savory Feast Kitchen
Ozitively Pink & Green Shake – $19.17
Strawberry key lime milkshake with pink and green whipped topping, strawberry, and Oreo crumble with a white chocolate disk
This milkshake has the right amount of tartness from the key lime, and you can taste the sweet strawberries, though they’re not overpowering.
This is nice and rich, but not too much for one person. Be warned, though: it will turn your mouth green.

Studio Snacks
Studio Snacks is located inside Universal Studios Florida, near the Minion Land entrance and the upcoming Wicked: The Experience.
Breakfiz Croissant – $7.99
Black forest ham with cheddar cheese and a poppy seed croissant
This is just a ham, cheese, and egg croissant, it’s nothing special. You can get something similar just about anywhere. That being said, we love a good croissant.
Rating out of 7: 6
Ozvocado Toast – $10.99
Artisan-style black bread with smashed avocado, sweety drop peppers, pickled onions, and feta cheese
Our portion of black bread was soft when we received it, not toasted. We didn’t taste any special ingredients beyond the smashed avocado, other than salt and cilantro. The sweety drop peppers aren’t spicy at all; we think they taste like cherry tomatoes.

Pink Goes Well With Green Scroll – $7.99
Matcha cake with vanilla whipped ganache
This scroll is disrespectful to matcha. The matcha flavor tastes as though it’s been left out for a whole day, creating an overwhelmingly astringent mouthfeel. We would not recommend this at all.

Straberriful Waffle – $7.99
Pearled sugar waffle with strawberry whipped topping, strawberry cream crumbs & sparkle dust
This waffle actually tastes like a waffle, unlike similar offerings at Walt Disney World. We also think this is much better than the waffles in DreamWorks Land. The strawberry topping is not too sweet, and we liked it a lot. The actual strawberries are fresh, too.

Ozdust Punch Cocktail – $15
Olemca Altos, Plata Tequila, Bols Blue Curacao, lime & pineapple juice topped with Fresca
This is a cheap liquor drink. You can taste the vodka and just a hint of lime and pineapple juice. It’s a basic cocktail you could get at a club.
Rating out of 7: 3
Ozdust Punch Mocktail – $8
Blue curacao syrup, lime & pineapple juice topped with Fresca
We know the kids want to be like their adults but this is not a good mocktail. It’s the worst thing we had today. It’s tart and sour. We didn’t taste any Fresca.
Rating out of 7: 2
The Sparkling Emerald – $11
Sparkling green limoncello spritz
As sometimes happens with such colorful drinks, this tastes green. It’s crisp, tart, and citrusy. It’s not great but it’s refreshing and bubbly.
Rating out of 7: 4
Shimmering Spritz – $11
Sparkling pink blueberry spritz
The berry flavor of this drink cuts through the lemon-like tartness. It’s airy and bubbly. It’s similar to The Sparkling Emerald but we prefer this one.
