    Dole whip !
    Wai L.

    I came for the original pineapple flavored Dole whip! Went to Epcot and they only had mango and tangerine, no thanks

    Tamu Tamu Refreshments is a delightful little treat stop tucked into Harambe Village--it's the perfect quick stop to refresh and recharge during a busy day in Animal Kingdom. I ordered the Simba Sunset, and wow, what a treat! It's a Pineapple Dole Whip crowned with bright red syrup that bursts with hints of strawberry, watermelon, and coconut--bright, sweet, and incredibly refreshing. The portion was huge and easy to enjoy while wandering the park. The snack options here may be limited, but the quality and execution make every visit feel worthwhile. If you're exploring Animal Kingdom and craving something sweet, Tamu Tamu has all of the dole whip goods.

    Honey Pistachio Croissant

    This quick service walk up stand is a great refreshing spot that can be hard to spot and easy to miss. They have breakfast options including the colossal Mickey cinnamon roll and a breakfast sandwich along with refreshments like dole whip and the dole whip floats. Found myself in Africa twice today to which we stopped both times! In the morning around 9:30am we got the honey pistachio croissant which was very good, however for some reason I thought it would be filled with pistachio or something. Unfortunately it was just dusted with some regular pistachios on top. Don't get me wrong, it was still very good though! Super flaky on the outside and very buttery and delicious on the inside. After Kilimanjaro safari at around 1:30, we got a little early afternoon pick me up and got the dole whip to share amongst the three of us. I really do think they give you more here than they do at aloha isle in Magic Kingdom. If you notice the dole whip serving in Magic Kingdom, it's actually hollow on the inside which makes it appear to be larger, but here it's not! So refreshing and delicious as always. Such a Disney snack staple!

    Vanilla ice cream, pineapple cake with a caramel crisp drizzle. Say no more! This was a fun find for me since I don't go to the animal kingdom often. The line moved really fast and it was made to order!

    Pineapple Crisp Sundae
    Steph Q.

    Is it really a Disney trip if you don't cool down on at least one of your park days with a Dole Whip treat? Tamu Tamu Refreshments is my go to place while in Animal Kingdom. They typically only have the pineapple flavor, but they do have the option to order a 'boozy' version with rum and, at the time of my most recent visit a few weeks ago, they were offering the Pineapple Crisp Sundae. For all my pineapple and fruity dessert lovers, this was divine! It was my first time ordering it, but it definitely won't be my last. I shared it with my husband, although I probably could have easily housed it by myself in that Florida heat and humidity and because it really was that good. The treat is a pineapple cake with pineapple streusel, caramel, and ice cream. The cake was moist and a great texture to complement the rest of the dessert. It wasn't too tart and it wasn't overly sweet. It was perfect. The service was ehh. The girl who rung me up was friendly, but the other CMs handing out the orders were completely disengaged and gossiping the whole time I was waiting for my order. There wasn't even eye contact or response when I thanked them for the order upon pickup. There were about four of us piled up waiting for our orders, so the gossiping was not a good look as the wait times were building up. Other than that, overall positive experience and tasty product.

    Egg, sausages and cheese biscuit. Available morning for breakfast
    Jean Sébastien F.

    Wanted something to eat in the morning and not much is open before 11am. Stopped by this place. Many drinks available and some snack. I tried the egg sausage and cheese on biscuit. It was ok. I don't like biscuit but couldn't find anything else that I felt I wanted. If you like biscuit, you will like it more then me for sure. It was hot which is nice. I couldn't taste the cheese at all although I did see it. The egg and sausage were ok. My girlfriend tried a savoury snack that I don't recall the name. She liked it. I would say unless you really want a biscuit with all of this, skip this snack. I can't vouch for the drinks and other snacks.

    Croissant pretty standard but a decent size.  Hot Cocoa
    Kristy K.

    Went here for the pineapple crisp sundae and it was worth every penny. The cake itself is so tasty and along with the homemade caramel and crumble, it was a solid hit!!!! Will get again!

    Tamu Tamu is a refreshment stand in Disney's Animal Kingdom Park. They have the famous Dole Whips, but...don't overlook the delicious Pineapple Crisp Sundae! My husband and I share this because it is a nice size & served on top of a piece of pineapple crisp cake. Recommend Tamu Tamu & ENJOY!

    DOLE Whip- Pineapple Cup with Parrot Bay Coconut Rum
    Emily C.

    Dole Whip is a must when visiting Disney! Surprisingly, We didn't see many dole whip shops around the parks so when we saw this one in Animal Kingdom, we had to get it. Even though it wasn't super hot out since we came in January, it was still a refreshing treat. We got the dole whip with coconut rum but you barely taste the alcohol since there was so much of the dole whip. It was the perfect consistency, super creamy and pineapple flavor stood out nicely.

    Pineapple Crisp Sundae
    Rochelle C.

    I didn't know I wanted the pineapple crisp sundae until I saw someone walking with it, and had to stop and ask her what it was and where did she get it. I immediately told my family that it was time for a snack and lined up to grab one. We found some seating around the corner and proceeded to devour the dessert. It was so delicious or maybe we're just too hungry?! Whatever it was, we enjoyed it and regret not getting another one before leaving the park.

    First Visit to Gideon's Bakehouse…read more My first time experiencing Gideon's Bakehouse was definitely more than just stopping by for a cookie--it felt like walking into a whole different world- for real!. From the moment I approached the entrance, the dark, gothic atmosphere, vintage artwork, old books, and unique decor immediately caught my attention. This is not a traditional sit-down bakery or café, so I went in knowing the experience is more about getting the famous cookies and taking in the atmosphere, appearance and taste of the infamous cookies. There can be a little bit of a wait outside, especially when it's busy, but honestly, I found the experience to be part of the fun. Inside, everything is incredibly detailed--from the creepy-but-cool portraits and antique-style displays to the shelves filled with Gideon's memorabilia. Even the signs and artwork have their own personality. It feels almost like stepping into a haunted library with a bakery hidden inside- move over Disney's Haunted House. Ok back to the real item, of course, there are the cookies. For my first visit, I'd say the wait and the hassle were worth experiencing at least once. Gideon's is definitely more than just a place to grab a cookie--it's an experience, and the atmosphere makes it memorable. I can definitely see why people make a stop at Gideon's part of their visit. So yes go ahead make it a family stop, kids will definitely love them too!

    I am rounding down my experience rather than up. They can't print a receipt so I am frankly not…read moresure what either item cost, but the gross amount including tax was $19.17 for one cookie and one slice of cake. They did not include any plasticware or napkins, so I expect they think I was just going to inhale the food like Nintendo's Kirby monster and not need to wipe any chocolate residue off along the way. I would like to meet the complete idjit that designed this process of melty chocolate in Florida's summer heat to understand the complete contempt they had for their customers that waited 10+ minutes in line so much so that they can't include plasticware to eat cake with and a napkin to wipe off the melty chocolate. Must be the same guy that made the DMV how it is. The theming is cool inside, that is the best aspect of this place. The vibes are immaculate. This is a place a proper sickly Victorian-era child ghost could haunt. You just can't say that about many spots in Orlando. The banana bread cookie I was most excited about was doughy, overly salted to an extreme, and had way too many walnuts. The girl at the register warned me it had walnuts and we discussed how walnutty this thang was. They really should call this the walnut cookie. The walnut is basically the whole gat dang cookie, you can't taste banana nor bread. Calling it a banana bread cookie is just misleading. The thai banana cookie from Summer House around the corner in Springs is not all it is cracked up to be either, but that one certainly is not 99% walnut by weight like this one. The cookies and cream Oreo slice was far better, which was mildly concerning that a cookie shoppe traditionally known for their "viral" cookies had failed so bad at cookies it was actually their CAKE that was the thing worth writing home about my experience. It is such a viral spot everyone is coming here for the experience to see a spot that a proper sickly Victorian-era child ghost could haunt. But smart customers get the cake, not the cookies. When you get the cake slice, verify that you have plastic cutlery and napkin before leaving the store, otherwise you are going to need to Kirby-inhale it. I think that is Nintendo, so that is Universal IP not Disney, but you get the picture. Who is the Kirby of Disney? Drax with his cake-toast?

I finally decided on the Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons in a kid's waffle cone since I was already so full. It was so creamy--the perfect balance of sweet caramel and flaky sea salt, all served in a freshly made waffle cone. I regret nothing. It was the best way to end my night at Disney Springs.

The first thing you'll notice when walking in is the amazing smell of the fresh waffle cones they bake in house. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and their rewards program is a nice bonus since every purchase earns you points toward free treats. Even though I sample the seasonal flavors, I almost always order a split single scoop of Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons and Double Fold Vanilla in a chocolate or seasonal waffle cone. It's my perfect combo. Since it's at Disney Springs, it can get pretty busy, especially at night, and since it's a small shop the queue line is usually wrapped outside, but it's absolutely worth the wait. Great ice cream, friendly service, and creative flavors keep me coming back.

The Cookie Bar at summer house serves as a nice AC'd respite if you are trying to evade the summer heat and humidity. They have a few tables inside and you can also get a nice beverage in addition to the cookies. The cookie bar is impressive in and of itself. There are cookies stacked on cookies displaying like 20 different kinds. I was tempted to get the Thai banana one and the seasonal cherry pie one, but alas, I got the smores. I also got a peach lemonade and it was great!! Very refreshing! I highly recommend this place even if you prefer crispy cookies. They have a good crunch while still being chewy.

They do have some options for basic ice cream, etc. in dishes, but that is not their wheelhouse. The staff was very helpful in answering questions, especially because the menu is a bit overwhelming. They make each concoction to order, so you can make some substitutions but that also means it will take some time to get your order (especially in a large group).

We ordered A2- which is a mango ice cream, coconut, with fresh pomelo and mango on top. It was delicious and I would definitely order it again. We had just had lunch about an hour before and this was a delightful and refreshing treat. The restaurant is bright and open but a closer look revealed it needed some deep cleaning. The seat I was sitting in had visible dirt on it and there was some dark long hairs on the seat. I'm not grossed out by that type of thing because if you know anyone with long hair, it just falls out. No big deal but I certainly didn't expect to see it on the seat I was sitting in. The tables and bases all need a thorough cleaning as well as other areas I noticed during our visit. I'd understand this a little more if I saw they were super busy and only had one person working, however, we were the only customers, except for two to-go orders and the one employee was sitting down on his phone when he wasn't helping a customer. As someone who has been in the restaurant industry for over 35 yrs, I am well aware of the things needed to keep a restaurant successful. Attention to detail is one of the key factors and unfortunately Mango Mango is lacking in this area. I hope they can see this review and possibly take a closer look at the cleanliness because the food is on point. Next time I'm in the area hopefully I'll see. If not, I might need to find another place to visit.

Seriously, you can save all your other options for a rainy day. This is the place for any occasion, date, family gathering, or plain ol' get together with friends to enjoy sweets with great company. Located off South Apopka Vineland Road on the Northbound side, Mango Mango is situated in a relatively new development and plaza (if you look at the satelite imagery from Google maps, it will still show undeveloped land as of June 2026). It's less than a 10 minute drive from the Disney Springs property, and about an 18 minute drive from Old Town/Fun Spot which is where we were staying for this particular trip coming from Tampa. As you arrive, you will find a spacious lot, however the actual parking spaces do appear limited (something to consider if you decide to have a large reunion here). Upon entering, you will find a very clean storefront and reception. Overall the store maintains a very neat and tidy appearance that is very welcoming and neutral when it comes to the varying demographics of customers. While we have been to Mango Mango before in a New Jersey location, this location provides a bit of table service (which we have not experienced prior) for dine-in which makes it a bit more intimate. The menu offers plentiful choices of sweets - from bowls with fresh fruits and ice cream, to your specialty drinks including boba. To call Mango Mango a boba shop would do it injustice, as this place truly shines as a hollistic dessert spot. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the selections. Each dish/drink is perfectly made to their own specifications. The best part is that none are overly sweet, which I feel is a crutch that most dessert spots experience. Highly recommend the mixed fresh fruit with sago and jelly! Wish this was in Tampa because this would give our usual boba spot a run for their money. This is a must have if you're in the area, so treat yourself after long hot day at the parks at Mango Mango!
