Main Street Bakery - A++
Food - A++++
We only ate breakfast from here. Since we were staying at the Grand Floridian, my 12 year old and I would hop on the monorail and go to the Bakery for take out. I got 2 coffees, a chocolate milk, and whatever drink my son picked out. I had the French Toast Loaf (HIGHLY recommend!!!!!! SOOOO Good), DH got the egg and cheese croissant (he loved it!), my little one got a plain croissant (he always loves croissants but proclaimed that Mickey makes the BEST croissant of ALL), and my older son got whatever was there. One day it was glazed donuts, the next it was the honeybun (which is very big). We asked for it to go and took the boat back to the GF. Awesome! The only thing better would be if we were on the dining plan and could use our snack credits for it! But we weren't.
Service- A+++
There was ALWAYS a HUGE line first thing in the morning. But there are 4 or so servers back there and they move through the line relatively quickly. If there was a line like that at my local bakery, we would be there all day long...the Main Street Bakery servers were quick.
Earl of Sandwich
A+++++
My husband proclaimed this to be his favorite place.
Food- A+. I had the Scudetto...YUM! DH had the Full Montagu.... Double YUM! and my older son had the Cannonball...YUM, YUM, YUM. The only person less than thrilled was my 3 year old whose idea of a sandwich is 1 piece of american cheese, one piece of bologna, and mayo on plain white bread. They didn't have american cheese so he had PB&J. He liked the sandwich but the bread wasn't his cup of tea. He's more of a "simple pleasures" type of guy. He did eat quite a bit of it though which leads me to believe that he liked it okay.
The only thing that may be considered a negative was that they only seemed to have one type of bread. Some sandwich companies have different types to choose from. For our purposes though, we all LOVED the bread (besides my 3 year old of course) so we didn't even consider the fact that there wasn't a choice. It wasn't until I was pondering the meal for this review that I even thought about it.
I also had the Pineapple Coconut smoothie. OMG, the smooth yummy goodness! It was awesome, so creamy and tasty. I had one at Epcot that was like flavored ice...yuck. The Earl of Sandwich smoothie was the best I've had, ever.
The only other negative was that this restaurant was at DTD. For us, it was just so inconvenient. BUT, if you are staying at PO...it's only a boatride away. I might even consider a stay at PO JUST so I can visit Earl of Sandwich more often
