*NEW* French Onion Burger: Gourmet Beef Blend, Caramelized Onions, and Gruyère Cheese on a Toasted Brioche Bun – $14.49
This is a full entrée, not just a sample, and it was outstanding. It was possibly the thickest counter service burger we have ever seen at EPCOT, and the bun was buttery and soft. The French Onion flavor was perfection and the included fries were delicious, as well.

Chocolate Baumkuchen with Chocolate Ganache and Whipped Cream – $6.49
We like that despite being marketed as a chocolate dessert, the cake is not overly sweet. It makes for an excellent breakfast option, or a great snack if you want something new instead of the cafe’s usual liege waffle. Since this one has the added chocolate drizzle, it is a little sweeter than the standard cake varieties. That being said, we ended up liking the added whipped cream and drizzle because they added some moisture to what is a somewhat dry cake. Similar to our previous reviews of the Baumkuchen Cakes, the interior layers are still very dry when eaten by themselves. Thankfully, the added toppings help make this cake a little more moist, especially when the whipped cream starts melting in the Florida heat. We definitely prefer this over the two plain versions at Starbucks and would be okay eating it again, though it still isn’t our favorite EPCOT dessert of all time.

*NEW* Passion Fruit Cream Slush: Passion Fruit, Evaporated Milk, Vanilla Syrup, and Coconut Cream (Non-Alcoholic) – $6.49, $15.50 with Rum
This was actually very good. Passion fruit is not always our favorite, but this avoids an overly strong flavor. It is refreshing for a hot day, and if you like passion fruit, we think you’d really love this.
