What is TODAY Cafe?

Besides getting the latest headlines, guests are also treated to a wide variety of dishes and drinks, including a specialty coffee blend that’s prepared exclusively for the venue and seasonal offerings that are inspired by co-host Al Roker’s various recipes. You’ll also find pastries, coffee (hot and iced), lattes, wine, beer, and other New York-inspired goodies.

TODAY Cafe – hours and reservations

TODAY Cafe is typically open during park hours, but this is, of course, subject to change.

TODAY Cafe – theming

From the stage lighting to the big-screen TVs playing TODAY clips, you’ll actually feel like you’re on the set of the show in this cafe.

As for the reason behind the theme, Comcast, the parent company of NBCUniversal, has had two long-term projects regarding the theme parks that it now owns all over the world – and one of these has to do with corporate synergy (something which Disney long ago mastered at its Walt Disney World Resort down the street). You can read about the rationale in full over in our detailed write-up.

TODAY Cafe – fun fact

TODAY Cafe replaced Beverly Hills Boulangerie, which not only was one of Universal Studios Florida‘s opening-day eateries, but which lasted for 29 long years before getting the theming axe.
