Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure
Butter Beer at the World of Harry Potter – If you go to Diagon Alley and experience the World of Harry Potter and don’t get butterbeer, did you even really go?! Okay, but seriously, this is definitely at the top of the Universal food bucket list – especially if you’re a Harry Potter fan! Butterbeer is served hot, cold, and frozen throughout Diagon Alley, so make sure you take a sip of this iconic drink!
Chocolate Cauldron Cupcake – Any Harry Potter fans out there will definitely want to grab one of these decadent chocolatey cupcakes from Diagon Alley on your next visit. The delicious chocolate cupcake is served in a plastic black cauldron (that you can take home and reuse) and topped with bright buttercream flames. It creates the perfect accessory for any photo op in the Harry Potter world.
Minion S’mores – Though this s’more is bright yellow, there is no banana flavor here, so don’t worry! The Minion s’more can be found at Studios Sweet and is a whimsical twist on the campfire classic.
The Big Pink Donut – This larger-than-life donut is totally Instagram-able and worthy of every sugary bite! The Big Pink is served at Lard Lad Donuts, made fresh daily, and is covered in a bright pink frosting and covered in colorful sprinkles. It’s definitely worth the splurge of calories for sure!
Foot Long Corn Dog from Moose Juice Goose Juice – Visit the whimsical and magical Seuss Landing at Universal Studios for this larger-than-life-foot-long corn dog. Not only is this a nostalgic treat served on a stick, but it’s also pretty tasty too. Can I get some mustard, please!
Flaming Moe at Moe’s Tavern – You can’t visit the Simpson’s Springfield without trying the Flaming Moe, a bubbly, citrus, non-alcoholic drink concoction that will get your Instagram feed bubbling with likes! Buzz by Moe’s Tavern and order your own, then cross Flaming Moe off your food bucket list as you “sip back” and enjoy!
Cotton Candy Cloud – Partake of the Seuss magic at Honk Honkers and enjoy a cotton candy cloud. With unique and funky flavors, they elevate your typical cotton candy in true Seuss fashion.
Clogger Burger at Krusty Burger– Take a visit to The Simpsons-themed area of Universal Studios, and you’ll find none other than Krusty Burger. Grab a mouth-watering double-stacked Krusty burger with “Secret Sauce,” cheddar cheese sauce and Applewood smoked bacon, and some Kurly fries on the side and channel your inner Simpson.
D’oh Nut Sundae – Though the Pink Donut is probably one of the more popular dishes at Lard Lad Donuts, don’t overlook this sugary sweet treat! A pink donut is sliced, sandwiched with your choice of vanilla or chocolate ice cream, topped with whipped cream and a cherry. Bon appetite!
Toad in the Hole – Get ready to cross a dish off of your Universal and international food bucket lists! Swing by the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley for this traditional British meal with a very peculiar and funky name. However, if the thought of eating a toad makes you a little green, don’t fret. There are no frogs to be had in this iconic dish. It’s a hearty British meal of a sausage basked in a Yorkshire pudding (which is a bready popover) served with a side of peas, potatoes, and veggies. It’s a nice warm meal that’ll keep you energized for your park adventures.
Butterbeer Potted Cream – In case you haven’t had enough Butterbeer during your time at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, make a stop in Diagon Alley at the Leaky Cauldron. They have a creamy, delicious pudding-like butter beer dessert that you’ll definitely want to taste.
Universal CityWalk
Two Foot Dog at Hot Dog Hall of Fame – You read that right, a two-foot hot dog! At the Hot Dog Hall of Fame in CityWalk, you can take a try at polishing off this impressive two-hander dog. The two-foot dog is served in a baguette with your choice of two toppings and a side of fries, so come hungry.
Milkshake at Toothsome Chocolate Emporium – Get your cameras ready because these milkshakes are definitely worthy of an Instagram post. Grab an over-the-top milkshake creation from Toothsome Chocolate Emporium, and you’ll be buzzing the rest of the day. The hardest part is deciding between Chocolate x5, Key Lime Pie, Espresso Buzzzz, or any of the other dozen sweet creations. Honestly, we wouldn’t blame you for adding one of each flavor to your food bucket list!
A Funky Doughnuts at Voodoo Doughnuts – This isn’t your average doughnut shop! Voodoo Doughnuts is a funky and eclectic bake shop that started in Portland but quickly became so popular that it expanded to places like CityWalk at Universal. Whether you want to partake for breakfast, dessert, or just a mid-day snack, grab a Captain Crunch topped glazed goodness or a bacon maple crawler for a sweet treat any time of the day.
Booze in the Blender Margarita from Margaritaville – when in Rome, eat as the Romans do. Well, when at Margaritaville, partake of delicious margarita! Sip on one of the iconic “Who’s to Blame®” margaritas in a 22oz take-home blender cup so you can remember your Florida getaway every time you blend up a concoction of tropical goodness.
