Lauren Loves Disney: Pacific Wharf Cafe In California Adventure
The Pacific Wharf Cafe located near the boardwalk in Disney's California Adventure is — in a word — cute. It reminds me of a place you could find in any coastal town, making you feel comfortable and at home. The menu isn't terribly big; there are sandwiches, soups, and salads. There's also bread that's made right next door, operated by the Boudin Bakery. Needless to say, the sourdough bread is the real draw here.
I ordered the chicken salad in a bread bowl, though I found out after the fact that you can actually order and eat the Mickey-shaped bread. I mean, yeah, I need carbs to get through any Disney trip, so I would have liked to have known this information before I bought a salad.
Between the salad and my soda (ice water is always free), I spent $17. That's pretty steep, especially for a quick-service place. But I only go to Disneyland maybe once in a blue moon, so whatever. I'm also not a fan of chicken salad, so maybe the California sun was getting to me that day.
However, the salad was good. Everything was fresh, but beyond that I was picking around the chicken for the most part. The winner is the bread. It was still warm, soft, and chewy, and needless to say, I devoured it. It got me through the rest of the day, but I'm still kicking myself over not getting the Mickey bread.
Maybe next time.
