Contempo Café

This was our second visit to the contempo Cafe, and it's a very solid quick service option! There's plenty of seating, it's always clean, the drink and ice machines were full and working, and the prices aren't terrible for Disney. Sitting right next to chef mickeys and all the hustle and bustle, loud music, screaming kids may be a little overwhelming depending on the day. The was hot, fresh, and delicious. They patty melt truly melts in your mouth and is so flavorful. The chips are a must try, very good, crispy and fresh. The Barbecue chicken pizza was a surprising win! The bread was thick and fluffy, with just enough crunch. They didn't skimp on the chicken or any of the toppings. Very good!When you order a soft drink, you get 2 refills during a 3 hour period, so you can hang on to your cup if you'll be wandering the resort for a bit. The staff here were pretty lackluster. Not much interaction, no one looked like they were happy to be there. Meh.

Here's the thing about Disney World quick-service: each spot has its specialties, which are usually great, and then there are the standard, mass-produced items that can be found anywhere--and those tend to be hit or miss.Stick to the specialties.My wife and I recently dined at Contempo Café, and I have to say, the atmosphere is fantastic. You can't complain about having dinner with the Monorail gliding by overhead--it's a uniquely Disney experience.She ordered the Grilled Shrimp Bowl, which features cilantro-lime rice, black beans, street corn, avocado, pico de gallo, queso fresco, and pickled red onion topped with grilled shrimp. This was freshly prepared (evidenced by the wait time), and she absolutely loved it. The ingredients were fresh, the flavors paired beautifully, and it felt lighter and more elevated than your average quick-service meal--a rare find at Disney.I, on the other hand, went for one of their signature sandwiches--the Contempo Artisanal Burger. Unfortunately, this was a miss. The burger clearly sat for a while as the shrimp bowl was being prepared, resulting in a slightly cold, overcooked patty that had nothing remotely "artisanal" about it. I had to drown it in ketchup just to make it enjoyable.Maybe that's on me for choosing a standard option, but my takeaway is this: if you visit Contempo Café, stick to their specialties. There are some great options here, but the mass-produced items don't always hit the mark.

Contempo Café have made a turn for the good. We have got food there years ago and it was not good.We stayed this past week and I got the braised beef bowl..twice. So good. So much food for the cost. I added hot sauce and some pepper flakes for a bit of extra spice. Wife got the veggie flat bread. She raved about it. Also the four cheese patty melt.Son loves the spaghetti with turkey meat sauce and he is pickey about sauces.The small cookie deserts are really good. Jack-Jack cupcake...just try it. The food is made quick and stays very warm. As we get it to go to eat in the room.

This is the fast food option in the middle of the Contemporary Hotel. We stopped here on the monorail to look around, and it was almost lunch time, so we ate here. The location is great - in the middle of a beautiful space, a ton of light from the huge glass walls at both ends- yet this is a casual serve yourself spot where my kids could be loud and no one cared. My kids opted for the turkey and cheese sandwich tray, which was pre-made and in a fridge to grab. Pretty bare bones, but very school-lunch-appropriate. Paying is super quick, and there were tons of employees on hand to keep things moving long and smooth.

Following our Magic Kingdom park day we decided to do a monorail gingerbread crawl.Our first stop was the Contemporary and we decided we wanted to go ahead and grab dinner before making our way to the Grand Floridian. We timed it perfectly and were able to order with no wait.My wife chose the Grilled Shrimp Bowl with Cilantro Lime Rice, Black Beans, Street Corn, Avocado, Pico de Gallo, Queso Fresco and Pickled Red Onion.I picked the Four-Cheese Patty Melt which was a grilled cheese, Beef Burger Patty, Caramelized Onions and Patty Melt Sauce with a side of French Fries.Both really liked our choices and was quite filling.Location was like a food court in the Grand Canyon Concourse in the main building.Overall would recommend for a quick option and will likely return.

Order and go, or stay. Over priced food at another Disney stop. Drinks are way overpriced. $5 for a water. Really? They've got you and they know it. Foods not bad. They deliver your order to the table you're seated. It's a necessary stop if you must.

Inside The Contemporary resort you will find this cafe offering a. Good selection of quick meals to continue the parks quest I tried the burger that comes with fries, condiments are available to enhance the meal. Well illuminated dining area, quiet and with the monorail view. Is enjoyable and a walking distance to Magic kingdom entrance.

Located in the Contemporary Hotel, Contempo Cafe is a good spot for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. During a recent visit, we ordered some items for dinner on the mobile app. Prices were decent and affordable, considering it's on Disney property.Waiting time took longer than average, about 25 minutes, to receive my meal. There is ample seating to accommodate many diners, but this time, we opted to dine in our room. I ordered some items to try: the Sicilian Meatball Sub, the Kitchen Sink cookie, the DOLE Whip® Cupcake, and the 5-legged Goat Fruit Tart.The Sicilian Meatball Sub was hearty and flavorful. The meatballs and marinara were delicious, and the peppers added a nice kick. Although it was near room temperature when I started eating back in my hotel room, it was still enjoyable. The fries were good, too--better than average. The desserts were all good, my favorite being the DOLE Whip® Cupcake and the Kitchen Sink Cookie. If you like tart desserts, I recommend the 5-legged Goat Fruit Tart.There is also a grab-and-go fridge/cold section for drinks, desserts, salads, and more! Alcoholic options are also available. Since I ordered via mobile, I didn't interact much with the staff, but it was still a stress-free experience.

My wife and I ate at the Contempo Cafe this week for the first time in a month. We were pleasantly surprised at a couple of their newer menu items. On previous visits, I would have given the restaurant four stars. This time was a different experience!I had the Four-Cheese Patty Melt (Four-Cheese Grilled Cheese, Beef Burger Patty, Caramelized Onions, and Patty Melt Sauce). It was full of flavor. It is a very large entree, especially when paired with their shoestring-cut french fries. I am a big eater, and I couldn't finish the whole thing!My wife had the Chili-Cheese Mini Corn Dogs (covered in house-made Chili, Queso, Mustard, and Green Onions). It, too, was a large enough serving to be considered sharable. It was very tasty, with the various ingredients married in perfect proportions.The total cost of the meal was in the low-moderate price range (Disney price range, that is). The ambiance is hard to describe, with a huge open-air ceiling that goes to the top of the hotel, monorails running through the hotel on the periphery of the restaurant, and the excitement of Chef Mickey and Chef Goofy working through the diners at Chef Mickey (separated from the Contempo by a short wall).We'll be back again!

Had a quick lunch the day we checked in to the hotel. We had the spicy chicken sandwich and fries. The sandwich was fresh, the fries were crisp. The seating area itself was a little messy but I guess that's part of the quick service experience. I think that whole area, including Chef Mickey's needs updating. I wouldn't return to the Contemporary to stay but I would recommend this quick service spot.
