Gaton's Tavern Cinnamon Roll: I find it a little funny that the "manliest of manly places" is known for a massive cinnamon roll of all things. Gaston's Tavern is loosely based on the one from the 1991 animated classic. It boasts a water fountain/statue of Gaston and LeFou outside and the interior includes Gaston's chair along with a fireplace adorned with a picture of the man himself. The tavern's signature cinnamon roll is large, packed with cinnamon flavor, warm, and gooey. Make sure to ask for an extra cup of icing (currently free). I was impressed as that extra cup of icing was even warm, making it easy to pour the molten sugar onto my roll. In addition to the excellent cinnamon flavor, there is also just a hint of maple. If you look closely at the pictures you can see the tan icing that contributes the maple flavor. As delicious as it was, I did feel a tad disappointed. All the pictures I've seen of this cinnamon roll online look different from what I got. Other pictures (I'll include a collage of them at the end) depict a roll that's more raised and seems even bigger in proportion to the plate. I'm wondering if there was a recent recipe change? The "smaller" roll I got was still plenty big and definitely tasty, it just was not exactly what I was expecting. Doughboy approved but be aware that it might not be the same roll you got the last time if you've been here before. Bon appétit!Doughboy_Food_Reviews

Waited in a 20 minute line for them to say half their menu was unavailable. They didn’t bother to tell anyone while we are sitting in the line. Ended up with a cold cinnamon roll.

Eliu, a Disney cast member. Went out of his way to help me and my family. Thanks Eliu!Try the gray stuff; it's delicious. Don't believe me? Ask the dishes. Also Gaston's cinnamon roll isn't hot out of the oven (only bummer and why I gave food aspect 4 stars).

Love the theming here. Great picture opportunity in Gaston's oversized chair and by the cozy fireplace. Very reasonably priced (for Disney) cinnamon roll is a must purchase with an extra side of icing (or 2). The tavern also gives the option of trying the "grey stuff" without the huge cost of eating at Be Our Guest. The grey stuff cupcake is a super moist chocolate cupcake with the grey stuff as frosting. The grey stuff is a super light, whipped, blended cookies and cream flavored frosting/mousse. Easy to get ice water and a cool seating area on a hot day at Disney here. The cinnamon roll could feed 2-3 for breakfast, great values here. Highly recommend!

Pretty good! The cinnamon roll is huge and plenty to share with others. The LeFou's brew is iconic. It is quite sweet, but is a fun mix of frozen apple juice with fruit and marshmallow flavor. Definitely stop here for some unique treats.

Being that Gaston is one of my favorite characters, I'm nervous this location may get shut down. The food is pretty good, the atmosphere is great, but the service is brutal. I went once in the morning and the line started out near the front of the fountain, and it took about 25 minutes to get my brew...while there was 3 registers open. I went back in the evening and there was 2 registers open, but only 5-6ppl in line for each, so I assumed it would go quick... Wrong! It took longer at night with only 5-6ppl in front of me. It seemed half the time, there were literally no cast members behind the counter and everyone was left wondering where they went. The person taking the order is responsible for getting the drink AND food, which takes sooo long. Whomever manages the tavern may need additional training, because it's currently being ran very poorly. 12/27/2033
Located in Fantasyland you will find Gaston's Tavern from the movie Beauty and the Beast. We were in a mood of a snack and decided to pass by and try their famous Lefou's brew and their mega cinnamon rolls. The interior here looked like it burst right out of the movie, my daughter loved especially since she is a big fan of Belle. The cinnamon roll was exceptional with nice contrast of frosting and caramelized on the top, and gooey interior. The Lefou's Brew is their exclusive drink here which is an Apple juice slushy topped with a passion fruit and marshmallow foam. I am not a big fan of apple juice but the combination of these three flavors really blended well.

I am writing this review based on the LeFou's brew only. I enjoyed the chance to sit down and rest my feet while enjoying the brew. There were plenty of seats, and service was quick. The brew has an interesting flavor, but I like it. I saw other people eating the sandwich and stuff. They seemed to enjoy the selections. Again, a good place to sit down and rest your feet.

Gaston's Tavern is located in Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom and serves snacks, beverages, cinnamon rolls, and other items. I got the lefou's brew ($6.79) which was an apple juice drink with toasted marshmallow and passionfruit mango foam. It was a very interesting drink with a lot of different flavors throughout the drink. It wasn't super sweet and was great for a hot day.

I feel like this is a fine spot to try out during a day at the Magic Kingdom, but it can definitely be improved. When it comes to the food options here, the menu is fairly limited, but the highlight is definitely the massive cinnamon roll. I wouldn't recommend any of the beverages here. The cast members here were really kind, but the spot had a lot of problems: the coffee machine wasn't working, some of the registers had technical issues, and they were severely understaffed which caused us to get really delayed. Overall, it's an alright spot to grab a quick bite if the line isn't too long.

After all this time, Gaston's has been one of the most elusive and irritating establishments for me. The "grey stuff" was once only available at Be Our Guest for special occasions. Then it was at Gaston's for a short time. Then it disappeared again for a long time. On top of the cupcake's lack of availability, Gaston's is always such a far walk from the entrance and it closes early, typically 5 pm. But oh, my lucky stars, after all these years of walking in disappointed, I had to rub my eyes when I saw the grey stuff on the menu. It truly returned and I could finally get my hands on it. I didn't expect it to be any good, truth be told but it was delightful. The foundation consists of chocolate cake. The cookies and cream mousse frosting was smooth and not overly sweet. It was not only on the top but also inside the core of the cupcake. Small crispy pearls and cacao bits were littered on the outside. And a small rose adorns the whole thing. Now that it is more available to the public, you gotta try the grey stuff, it's delicious!
