It’s Grilled Street Corn on the Cob Season in EPCOT!

It’s time for the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival yet again. This years festival runs from March 5th to June 2nd, 2025. With the return of our favorite festival we have 13 vegan options to enjoy! Make sure to head to the end of the post for a fun graphic that lists all the options so you can be best prepared for your visit.

BEACH GRUB – Grilled Street Corn on the Cob

A returning favorite has made it’s way to a new booth. The Grilled Street Corn on the Cob hits just as well as it has in years past. They load the corn cob up with a savory garlic spread and coat it in a vegan “cheese”. It is cooked well, has a great texture, and the garlicky spread is truly the shining star. Just be sure to bring some flossers for this.

BRUNCHCOT – Avocado Toast & (NEW!) Biscuit and Gravy

New this year is the Biscuit and Gravy which features Impossible Sausage and a pepper jelly. The sausage is an Impossible breakfast patty which perfectly fits on the biscuit. This one is hard to photograph to see all the components of it, so be sure to watch our vlog if this one interests you.

The pepper jelly added a sweetness to it, which was a bit odd. But overall this was a pretty enjoyable biscuit and gravy dish. The biscuit was pretty dense, but cut up with the gravy and sausage it was enjoyable.

Returning here is the Avocado Toast. This has been at the last few Flower & Garden festivals and was probably my favorite one yet. The toppings on this include marinated tomatoes, vegan feta, watermelon radish, and edible flowers. It’s a beautiful piece of toast. The flavors on this were very nice and the avocado wasn’t as strong of a “bagged guacamole” taste as I’ve had previously.

CITRUS BLOOM – Lumpia and (NEW!) Lemon Tart

It’s been two years, but the beloved Lumpia made a return at a new booth! It is a bit different than the previous version, but was still enjoyable. The lumpia is filled with Impossible Pork and is both crunchy and chewy where it should be. The sauce this year is a Yuzu Sweet and Sour, but to us it really just tasted like citrus. I preferred the thicker sauce from the last version, but this was still very good and something I would munch on again.

The new Lemon Tart was one of the items I was most looking forward to since I love lemon desserts. It did not disappoint. The lemon tart features lemon curd, blood orange fluid gel, aquafaba meringues, and raspberry powder. It was so good. The meringues were light and fluffy, and the lemon flavor was perfectly balanced. This is one I will be getting each visit while I can!

LAN YUAN – Pan-fried Vegetable Dumplings

This is another returning option that managed to improve since last year. These dumplings are not labeled as plant-based due to the China pavilion not being Disney owned, but after checking the ingredients I was able to confirm they are vegan again this year. This year the Pan-fried Vegetable Dumplings were super flavorful and the sauce had a great sweet flavor that was complimented with sesame. Last year I felt like they were typical frozen re-heated dumplings, but this year they were significantly better. I just wish we got more than two!

REFRESHMENT OUTPOST – Jamaican Beef Patty & Seasonal Fruit Parfait

The Jamaican Beef Patty has made a return this year but moved to a new booth. Unfortunately when we visited they were out of patties, which means they were selling well! We didn’t have time to come back to get them so we will get them next time and I will update my review for those.

Another delicious returning option is the Seasonal Fruit Parfait. This is Dole Whip Mango, fresh fruit, chamoy, and tajin. I wish they had this year round because this is as close as I can get to the my favorite Dole Whip from Disneyland. The mango dole whip is sweet and the spicy tajin compliments it well. I love the addition of the fresh fruit for texture. It’s a really great treat.

BAUERNMARKT – Potato Pancakes

This dish has been with us a for a few years and still is just as good as before. The Potato Pancakes are crispy on the top and bottom and soft in the middle. The seasoning on here is good and the applesauce adds a nice sweetness to it. It’s a simple option that is always a good one to try.

HANAMI – Steam Bun

Returning from last year is the Steam Bun which is filed with Savory Flavored Vegetables and Plant-based Soy Meat. Just like in China, this booth is not Disney owned. I was able to check the ingredients and it is vegan again like last year. The bun is light and chewy and the soy meat has a nice sesame flavor. It had a really great balance of sweet and savory. I definitely liked this more this year than last, but I think that’s due to knowing what to expect this time with textures.

TANGIERINE CAFE – Stone-baked Moroccan Bread with Assorted Dips

The dish that doesn’t die. The Stone-baked Moroccan Bread with Assorted Dips has been part of every festival for the last year or two now. We didn’t get it as I’ve had it enough times to know I like it. The bread is very light and the I like the dip that has a hint of orange to it since it has the most flavor. This is a nice lighter option and is easy to share. But since it is seems to be here every festival, if you plan to come back later this year I would skip this for now.

LA ISLA FRESCA – (NEW!) Coconut-Chocolate Flancocho

The Coconut-Chocolate Flancocho is a newcomer this year and replaced the previous vegan dessert at this booth. I did really enjoy the flavors of this one. The Flancocho features chocolate cake, coconut custard, and a passion fruit caramel. The passion fruit flavor was really nice, but also very strong. I really enjoyed that flavor paired with the chocolate cake. I was unsure if I was going to like the texture of the coconut custard, but it wasn’t too gelatinous for me and I really enjoyed this overall. Did I like it more than the previous Tres Leches, no, but I would get it again.

TROWEL & TRELLIS – Farmhouse Meatball

Back again is the Farmhouse Meatball which is an Impossible Beef meatball on lentil bread with spinach, marinated vegetables, and a creamy herb aioli. This one tasted the same as it has previous years with a heavily seasoned meatball and a creamy sauce. This one isn’t one of my favorites, but I know many people who look forward to the return of this one each year.

All of the options this year were very enjoyable. I look forward to going back a few times before the festival ends to eat a few of these again. I hope this helps you with your visit to the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival!

Back in 2014 I created Vegan Disney World after going to Walt Disney World several times and finding no resource for vegan options. Corey and I began this blog from our trips and have now moved closer to the mouse to eat around the parks on a weekly basis. Since the blog started we have cruised on Disney Cruise Line, gone to Tokyo Disneyland and to Disneyland in California!
