It can be so overwhelming to figure out the best places to eat and grab snacks when planning your Disney vacation.
Animal Kingdom
One of the most difficult meals to figure out is breakfast. If you decide to hit the parks early for rope drop and skip breakfast at your resort, it can feel complicated to find good breakfast options inside the parks! That’s why we’re here. We recently stopped by the Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery in Animal Kingdom to see if it was worth a visit on your next Disney trip!
The Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery is located at Animal Kingdom in Africa near Kilimanjaro Safaris! It fits in extremely well with the theming of the rest of the land, with the style of the sign and chipped walls matching the aesthetic of the rest of the buildings.
Here you can find coffee, pastries, Breakfast Totchos, or an Egg and Bacon Croissant Sandwich for breakfast, then they serve bowls at lunch and dinner. However, this time around, we checked out an item on the breakfast menu!

We grabbed the Guava and Cheese Danish for $5.29. This pastry is only available on the breakfast menu, and we found it to be a nice change of pace from the traditional theme park breakfast options!
Guava Cheese Danish
It’s familiar, but just different enough to make you pause. We expected the guava flavor to be overpowering, but that wasn’t the case at all. Instead, the guava was subtle, and the cream cheese took the flavor lead, which we were pleasantly surprised by! The cream cheese was thick, sweet, indulgent, and exactly what you crave after walking a few thousand steps, all before 10 a.m!
sooo good!
The croissant itself was flaky on the outside and nice and soft inside, and holds everything together nicely without overpowering the rest of the danish. Overall, the Danish was bright, tangy, sweet, and a delicious breakfast option at Animal Kingdom, and we would definitely grab it again!
a great breakfast option!
As for Kusafiri, it might look like the line is really long and will take a lot of time, but in our experience, the Cast Members move everyone through quickly, and it’s definitely not a reason to skip this spot!
Let’s go to Kusafiri!

This looks delicious, but I have been wanting to find the stuffed pancake breakfast sandwich with the guava jelly. Does anyone know if this is still available anywhere? We went to AK in 2024 and it was on my must try list, only to get to Pongu Pongu and it wasn’t on the menu anymore. I was devastated. I heard it can sometimes be found, but it is not on any of the menus. I am going again this year and would love to finally try it. Any guidance would be so appreciated!
I used to love the cheese Danish that Disney made, especially at The Mara at AKL for breakfast. They disappeared a few years ago but this is a decent substitute.
