Contempo Cafe or Gasparilla Grill

[Mousemommy1]

We have an 11 day stay coming up in July! We are staying at WL.
We are planning on hopping over to the other MK resorts for lunch at their QS restaurants on a few of the days. We will definitely do Roaring Forks and Captain Cooks, but what are the thoughts on Contempo Cafe and Gasparilla Grill? Which ones do you like more? Who has better selection (I have peeked at the menus) Better seating?

Any advice would be appreciated.

I prefer Contempo to Gasparillas.

Contempo has a fun and exciting vibe since it's right in the heart of the Grand Canyon Concourse and adjacent to Chef Mickeys. Lots of seating available and a plenty of menu options. Flatbreads and cupcakes are delish!

Gasparillas is just in a room with arcade games and not much seating available. They do have self-service soft-serve ice cream though!

Oooh, you had me at cupcake
Contempo is certainly very convenient for us, as we can just boat over there.
Thanks!

Hands down, Contempo Cafe! Like everyone already said, they have good food, flatbreads, sandwiches, salads, etc. and the cupcakes are awesome. (very sweet if you like that)
The atmosphere is fun too.

We did not like GG at all. Perhaps one of our least favorite resort CS. Totally lacking for the caliber of the resort. Just my opinion

I haven't tried GG so I can't comment on that but I love the Contempo Cafe We had breakfast there several times during our last trip. The breakfast sandwich was huge and I could only eat half of it. My DD loved the waffles topped with bananas and caramel.

As someone else mentioned the cupcakes are amazing!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH everyone answers before I can get there ... ha ha .... I vote for Contempo too. I've walked in the Gasparilla ... just looked around but Contempo is much more interesting ... and different kinds of food in my opinion. (and tasty too - DH and I have eaten there!) Have a great trip!!!

I'm a little late to the party, but I vote for Contempo Cafe too!
We had a MK view at BLT during our last trip and DH stopped in there to get a red velvet cupcake to eat while we watched Wishes from the balcony almost every night

I also agree- the flatbreads are great!

I just have to say.....this is the first thread I've read in a long time where everyone agrees!

We just got back from a week at BLT and ate at Contempo Cafe' 3 times because it was SO good. We ate at GG on a previous trip and I don't ever care to return. The much hyped lobster mac and cheese at GG was disgusting.

Contempo Cafe had a great chicken chop salad and DH loved the cupcakes!

I'm happy to hear the good reviews of Contempo! We'll be at BLT in Nov and we'll be eating mostly CS this trip.

Wow! Good to see a unanimous love for Contempo! It's definitely on the schedule for lunch one day!
