The Dole Whip thing was so sad. :( And I felt like such a flipping dork!! Didn't help that we did that right in front of the order window, too. :headache: Not only did it hit my shirt, but it managed to get my shorts, my leg, and my shoe, too! :lmao:

There shall be at least one more review added today, I promise!! :)
 
That beautiful french onion soup picture, just put GFC on our list for Feb!
All of your pictures are wonderful! :thumbsup2:worship:
 
We intentionally did not make an ADR for this night so that we could take our chances on getting in to Beaches & Cream at the Beach Club. If not we could eat anywhere else we wanted, including possibly Kouzzina (but more likely an Epcot CS place). So after tooling around Epcot for a while that afternoon we headed out the International Gateway, kept left and went under the overpass/bridge thing along the water to avoid climbing up and down the giant hill there on bad knees and tired feet, took a wrong turn and wound up at a quiet pool for the Beach Club with no exit, doubled back, and finally found our way to the large map where a nice CM asked us if we needed help and then told us the easiest way to get the B&C from there. Thanks, Bob! :thumbsup2

We walked up around 5:40 and were taken right inside - there was one table for two available (though there were four chairs - the tables are TINY and would be crazy overcrowded with four people at one of them, though they do it... people just think they have something to complain about at Le Cellier for small, crowded tables!)

Since there are always a lot of B&C questions on the boards here's a number of interior photos so everyone can see what all the hubbub is about:

So there you go - the interior of Beaches & Cream - all twelve square feet of it! :lmao:

I started things off with a vanilla coke since you can get them here. Nicely mixed, but I am happy with almost any vanilla coke - love 'em! The more vanilla the better! (Tazicket, being the health conscious one, went with unsweet tea, as per her usual.)

3928052660_62977d3084.jpg


We both went with burgers for our entree - Tazicket's with no cheese, mine with:

3862372998_da523d4a8f_o.jpg
My cheeseburger was good, very fresh and hot, juicy patty with good flavor. The bun was buttery and toasted. Lettuce & tomato were crisp and cold. Fries were hot and fresh and nice. Best burger and fries I've ever had? No, but as good as or better than most burger and fry meals.

3873213908_0ee290e0ed_o.jpg
My burger was also good. It had a nice flavor, with fresh tasting tomatoes and lettuce. I thought the patty was a little on the thin side, but still good. The fries were crispy and hot and had a really nice flavor. My burger bun was also buttery and toasted and yummy.

Speaking of buns...I would like to take a moment to share a PSA. This little beauty was right next to our table:

Please be aware of your surroundings when picking super fun songs on the super cool jukebox. Our table was pretty close to it, but there was enough room for a person to go pick a song without crowding us too badly. A kid came over with his Grandpa to pick out a bunch of songs on the jukebox and seemed determined to pretend we weren't there. He was practically sitting on our table - inches from my burger. Meanwhile, I'm leaning further and further away and trying to be polite and just focus on eating my burger and ignoring the strange tuckus that is hovering next to my face. When it was clear the kid did not intend to remove his tuckus from our table any time soon, Golf4food tapped him on the shoulder and asked him to move. (Which he did, although grudgingly.)

I understand that it's a jukebox and both super fun and cool. And it's awesome to be able to pick songs on a real live jukebox - especially for kiddos who have maybe never seen one before. It's just important to be aware of your surroundings and respectful of people sitting right next to it. It's totally not cool to put your tuckus right in the face of an innocent bystander trying to eat her food. Click here for appropriate sound file. (I promise it's not a fart noise! :littleangel: )

-------------------------------------------------​

But enough about burgers and buttockses (buttocki? buttockseses?).

We know what you really want to know about.

The one thing one your mind since you saw "Beaches & Cream" first typed out.

You know what I'm talking about. :idea:

Yeah, you do. :rolleyes1

Don't deny it. :littleangel:

We won't tell. :rolleyes:

But for that you'll have to wait... like two minutes while I post part two! ;)
 

I scream, you scream, we all scream for...

GIANT HONKIN TUBS FULL OF ICE CREAMY GOODNESS!!!


This is Brian. (Everyone: Hi, Brian!) Brian was our best friend right... about... now...

For full effect click here (also not a fart sound :lmao: )


3862372998_da523d4a8f_o.jpg
I went with the Milky Way Sundae (I asked for no nuts so Brian said they'd add extra Milky Way instead):

3928080390_9c9feaec20_b.jpg


3928089862_ed021fca87_b.jpg


"I need a napkin or somethin' cause my mouth is waterin' just thinkin' 'bout it!" Thank you, Donkey.

Nothing small and annoying about these, though. Ginormous! I think the recipe is a pound of ice cream, a pound of caramel, a pound of hot fudge, one can of whipped cream, half a Milky Way candy bar, white and regular chocolate sprinkles... and a cherry. Soooo tasty. Perfect in every way, but way too big for a normal human to healthily consume. But who cares about healthy - you're at Beaches & Cream! Healthy stopped at the door! :yay:

3873213908_0ee290e0ed_o.jpg
I went with the legendary No Way Jose:

3927304711_1807b0b5e6_b.jpg


3927302807_2161484f37_b.jpg


I am a fiend for chocolate and peanut butter together and this definitely satisfied. Lots of warm peanut butter, hot fudge, chocolate and peanut butter morsels, awesome whipped cream, and the obligatory cherry (which went to Golf4food - I used to hate all cherries, but have recently decided that I do like some varieties. Unfortunately, that does not include the maraschino things they put on sundaes.)

This was so amazingly good! I'm pretty sure that it came with its own Heavenly glow. :worship:

3928088018_f6106ed344_b.jpg


You will notice that I am also in this shot with my wonderfully delicious ice cream. No, I did not wind up wearing this dessert (but, thanks for asking :laughing: ). We took this one to show that these sundaes were nearly as big as my head!! :eek:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

We both give Beaches & Cream four penguins:

3785444367_330791abf3_o.jpg
3785444367_330791abf3_o.jpg


Not the greatest burger in the world overall, but the ice cream alone pulls them up at least a full penguin rating. :thumbsup2

Cost: around $40-$45, I forgot to write it down


Be warned, though. Eating so much ice cream can have consequences. Sure, at first you've got that big sugar rush:

3928098726_e6eeafa8a4_b.jpg



But it won't be long until you suffer the inevitable crash:

3928101586_292ba14f8c_b.jpg


Just be sure to collapse on a stretch of not-heavily-travelled sidewalk. ;)


So day two draws to a close and in the morning we head south of the equator (mostly) to enjoy the tastes of Africa.
 
Wow---that icecream is HUGE. So, you guys were on the Deluxe DDP, which leads me to believe that your sundaes were included in the plan---yes? If so, I may have to do some shifting around with our reservations. We'll be staying at BWV and didn't have any plans to swing by B&C, but after seeing the icecream I'd be missing out on, I think I might have to. :thumbsup2

It doesn't matter if you're on the Deluxe plan or not - you can still go to Beaches & Cream (and get a giant honkin sundae for dessert :yay::woohoo::lovestruc ), but it counts as a Table Service credit either way.

ETA: Another thing to keep in mind is there's no ADRs and it's small, so getting in is not a guarantee or there may be a long wait. But, the sundaes are worth it!! Really fun to try at least once.

Yep, I know that it doesn't matter if you're Deluxe or not, but we will be (and you were too) which is the only reason I mentioned it. I am aware that they don't take ADRs, but I figure that if we are staying at BWV anyway, it'll be easy enough to just pop over to the BC during our downtime during the day to see if they have a wait or not. All I want is a No Way Jose and I'll be set. Mmmmmmmmm. :woohoo:
 
Wow, everything I look for in a fantastic food report...

Humor :thumbsup2
Detail :thumbsup2
Fabulous photos :thumbsup2


Thanks for sharing :goodvibes


:worship::worship::worship:


When's the next installment??? popcorn::
 
Great reviews and photos looking forward to reading more!:goodvibes
 
We had the same two sundaes last year. they were both sooooo good. I can't wait til next month - staying at BC so we will hopefully eating at bc at least once!
 
That's interesting, didn't know you could order a burger with "extra buns".
 
Oh my those sundaes looks AMAZING!!! I so want to try them. I promised my DD I would order her a kitchen sink though. How would it look it I ordered a Milky Way and the kitchen sink? LOL!!!

I think the word would be "gluttonous". :lmao:
 
Our third day began early and not-bright as we left ASMu while the full moon was still above the Jazz buildings and the sun not yet over the trees on the other side for our 7:30 a.m. ADR at Boma - right when they open.

Obligatory Boma sign shot lest we be excommunicated from the DIS:

Waffles - NOT Mickey shaped. I did not eat any in protest.
3933406197_726f758847_b.jpg


Pancakes - also not Mickey shaped, but that did not offend me as they were not waffles.
3934194126_378111ac50_b.jpg


Potatos. Potatoes? Potaytoes? Dan? Anyone?

Plates and reviews next!
 
On to the foods!

First our waitress brought us the house juice, even though we both asked for orange juice and she also wasn't sure if we could order a press pot on the DxDP as one of our drinks or not (we could) and didn't find out until after she took our room card and check back to run it... she was not the brightest bulb on the Disney dining tree.

3933472149_c534b99081_b.jpg


Neither of us like passion fruit or guava, but the special juice (Jamba juice?) was ok, not as bad as I was afraid it would be. I actually drank most of it. Partly because it took our press pot a while to get to us. (That would also be why we don't have a shot specifically of the press pot of coffee though you can see a sliver of press pot or coffee cup in a few other shots so keep your eyes peeled if you care about that sort of thing!)

3873213908_0ee290e0ed_o.jpg
Here's my first plate:

3934249810_fda3f08bf1_b.jpg


Moving clockwise from the top:
Chocolate croissant: yummy, but I didn't eat a whole lot of it
Grapes: I never actually got around to eating these. I'm sure they were pretty good, though.
Bacon: Good and crispy. I liked this better than the Kona bacon we'd had the day before.
Potatoes: Really yummy and seasoned well. My favorite potatoes of the trip.
Scrambled eggs: Good, but Kona's were better.
Goat cheese & chive scrambled eggs: These were totally awesome and my 2nd favorite thing I had at this breakfast. Different, but in a good way.
French toast: Yummy.
Scone: Also yummy.

While most of the stuff on this plate was good, it was immediately overshadowed by this:
3934257736_fed75b38cd_b.jpg


K, I know it looks really gross, but it was SO FLIPPING GOOD. This is the Curried Sausage and Biscuits. Being a Southern Gal, I love me some biscuits and sausage gravy and this was a super awesome twist on that. It was just a little bit spicy, but had so much flavor and the biscuits were really good, too. My absolute favorite thing from this breakfast. I would totally go back just to get this.

Here's my second plate:
3933476815_9bb7649772_b.jpg


Clockwise from the top:
Pap: K, I know I said I'm a Southern Gal, but I'm one of very few who really just doesn't like grits. At all. But, I wanted to try new things, so I got this (and I didn't know it would be like grits). I just really didn't care for it at all. Grits in any language and all that.
Strawberries: I never made it to these, either. I had really good intentions, though!
Grapes: I'm pretty sure these are actually the grapes from the first plate. I didn't eat them over here, either.
Grilled tomato: This was yummy. It tasted pretty much like you would expect it to.

--------------------------------------​

3862372998_da523d4a8f_o.jpg
And here is my first plate:

3934252676_d37468a342_b.jpg


Starting up top I had the:

Cinnamon raisin French toast and syrup: good and fluffy and tasty, but I still prefer regular F.T.
Bacon: good bacon, nice and crispy, not greasy
Regular eggs: fine, normal scrambled eggs
Goat cheese and chive scrambled eggs: really good, I loved these and would gladly eat them any day
Cinnamon bun: ok, not great. A little on the dry side.
Bluebery muffin: tiny, just ok

Plate number two:

3934262358_4e98d1826c_b.jpg


Starting at the top:

Roasted/grilled/whatevered turkey and ham: both were quite good, thick cut (by hand at the buffet for you, of course), juicy, and tasty. I also got a little of the Boma mustard that was next to them and it was very good on the meats.
Watermelon: not good watermelon, kind of dry, not very sweet
Grilled tomato: good - tasted like a grilled tomato - surprise!
More goat cheese and chive eggs: again, just love these.
Pap: Grits in any language, fluently spoken here.

The Boma press-pot coffee: strong and much "earthier" than the Kona coffee press pot. Even with cream and sugar (I like my coffee heavily polluted) the Boma coffee was quite "up front". Not like an Italian espesso, but in a more earthy way. Earthy. (I just wanted to say earthy again, haha.)


Lastly our waitress - Brenda was her name - brought us out a dessert plate in honor of our Honeymoon. "Honeymoon?", you ask. Yes, I said honeymoon. ("That's what she said.") Why? We have no idea. I was wearing a birthday button and our ADRs clearly listed birthday on all of them. However, when I got my birthday button the CM offered Tazicket a "princess button" as he called it since she didn't have a button. It looks like this:

3935522948_0423bce4d9_b.jpg


So evidently they also use this button for a Honeymoon celebration button or something. I guess I just felt my birthday was more important than our wedding and that was why I wasn't wearing a honeymoon button? Who knows.

Either way, it got us a plate of these:

3934265024_99de860847_b.jpg


From left to right they were (to the best of our guessing since Brenda didn't tell us what any of them were - she dropped it on the edge of the table and said "And this is for your Honeymoon," and took the check back with her to the back...):

Some sort of dark chocolate truffle thing?:
3862372998_da523d4a8f_o.jpg
Very rich and chewy and very good

3873213908_0ee290e0ed_o.jpg
Yum! Dark and rich!

A carrot or apple spice cake with a glaze of some sort?:
3862372998_da523d4a8f_o.jpg
Good, slight spice, chewy moist cake

3873213908_0ee290e0ed_o.jpg
good; lightly spiced

A pistachio cookie thing?:
3862372998_da523d4a8f_o.jpg
Light and crunchy but airy cookie with a creamy filling - this tiny cookie helped me remember that I used to eat pistachios a looooong time ago and for some reason stopped but that I still like them - woo hoo!

3873213908_0ee290e0ed_o.jpg
also good; different

A jelly pyramid thingy that was apricot flavored?:
3862372998_da523d4a8f_o.jpg
Like a nasty apricot flavored gummy pyramid as you'd expect (in fairness we both hate apricot, lol) I'm sure this would be fine if you like apricot and gummy things. I'm not a huge fan of either, but especially the apricot flavor. Luckily, we ate these in backwards order so the apricot thing was first and the awesome chocolate thing was last.

3873213908_0ee290e0ed_o.jpg
really didn't care for this (as Golf4food detailed above)


--------------------------------------​


We both give Boma breakfast 3.5 penguins:
3785444367_330791abf3_o.jpg
3785444367_330791abf3_o.jpg
3785444367_330791abf3_o.jpg
3785356766_94aa4bf8f0_o.jpg


Some real stars, a few duds, mostly solid. Neither of us are big on buffets but we'll definitely be back at Boma for breakfast again at some point.



3935570366_03d410ea11.jpg


We brave some really bad science fiction in search of burgers and shakes that are rumored to be out of this world... or at least pretty good. ;)
 
your pictures are amazing. We love boma for breakfast. trying capemay this trip but would definitely go back to boma.
