Amorette's Patisserie

Amorette’s Patisserie is the upscale, French-style pastry counter tucked into the Town Center stretch of Disney Springs, and it’s the prettiest dessert on the property — think glossy domed petit cakes, lacquered fondant, and croissants that actually flake. This is patisserie as edible architecture: the case looks like a jewelry display, and the signature character petit cakes (Mickey, Minnie, plus rotating seasonal and Pixar releases like the Edna Mode cake) are built in real layers — chiffon, curd, panna cotta, mousse — not just frosted props.

The honest part: it’s gorgeous and it’s pricey, and not every item earns its price tag on flavor alone. The petit cakes are dense and genuinely multi-layered, but a single one runs into the low-to-mid $20s, so the math only works if you share. Seating is tight and not the point here — this is a grab-it-and-go counter, not a sit-and-linger café.

The smart play that locals swear by: skip the mediocre, overpriced dessert course at your dinner reservation entirely and walk it off to Amorette’s instead. You’ll eat better, spend smarter, and get the most photogenic plate of your trip in the bargain.

This is a special-occasion splurge and a photo op first, a snack second — and that’s totally fine if you go in knowing it. Order one stunning petit cake to split between two or more people rather than one each, and you get the wow factor without the regret. It’s perfect for couples, dessert-skippers from dinner, and anyone who eats with their eyes. If you want maximum sugar for minimum dollars, Gideon’s monster cookies down at The Landing are the better value run.
