Any coffee drinker who has ever visited Walt Disney World Resort knows that Joffrey’s Coffee is their official specialty brand.

Though it’s the good old-fashioned classic offering of the Joffrey’s brand that is most abundant at Disney, there are some locations that brew up varying flavors, blends, and even add their very own specialty tweaks. This is certainly the case at Joffrey’s Revive with their “Mission to S’mores.”
This Joffrey’s kiosk located in Magic Kingdom park’s Tomorrowland boasts an exclusive latte that’s just out of this world. Aside from a creative name play on the “Mission to Mars” theme, the delightful scrumptiousness of this s’mores-inspired drink is sure to blast your taste buds to new heights. Served hot or cold, the rich and mild balance of strong coffee and decadent notes taken from the sweetness of graham cracker crumbles, marshmallows, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream all work well in making this a highly in-demand signature menu feature.
