Yes, it is about 5 minutes from the International Gateway.
I wouldn't leave Epcot to go to Beaches and Cream. It's a cute little place and the burgers are fine, but it is small and there can be really long waits. And a 20 minute wait can easily turn into a 40 minute wait.
They have good burgers in the America pavillion, too.
But if you have your heart set on eating at B&C, rest assured that once you've left Epcot, it isn't a horribly long walk.
If you need a break from the crowds, Beaches and Cream is a great place to get an ice cream treat. They have a take out counter if you don't mind sitting outside somewhere. I also had a nice chicken Caesar salad there once.
