Contemporary Grounds

Good place for coffee before going to the parks. The price is reasonable and you also get a discount if you are a pass holder. Sometimes the wait may be a bit. They also give you option to put cute printed latte art.

We have stayed here for the day and spend a good amount of time by the pool. We ordered food and drinks from the Sand Bar and I have to say you need to be ready to eat because the portions are huge! The service was friendly and fast. We sat by the pool with kids swimming in the plentiful chairs in the shade.

Pool staff review:What an amazing experience!! Here for the first time and the Lifeguards and staff made our time THE BEST!! Taylor and Justin were superb and that's what you really want out of a Disney resort.

Great place to grab coffee before heading to the parks or (as we did) before a morning stroll around the grounds of the Contemporary. The Mickey and Minnie latte art is a super fun addition that will add a bit of magic to your morning. They serve Joffrey's Coffee, like the rest of the resorts on Disney property and the coffee is consistently good. Located on the ground floor near the bus stops, it's easy to miss as everyone focuses on the Grand Canyon Concourse. The only downside is they close at one, so you can't grab an afternoon or evening coffee here. If you've got time, walk out of the backside of the ground floor and enjoy your coffee with a view of Bay Lake and Bay Lake Tower, a relaxing and beautiful way to start your day.

Serving Joffery's coffee, if you're needing a pick me up in the am or are dragging in the afternoon, you'll want to stop at Contemporary grounds. The coffee is good, perhaps better than $Bux, the service is good and their pastries are tasty!

Small coffee shop on the ground floor of the Contemporary resort. Serves Joffrey's coffee products.I ordered a medium cold brew with a squirt of caramel. For $4.50, the cost is on-par with Starbucks. Good tasting coffee.This place also has pastries for sale.

Great Value for a snack credit and the only Specialty Coffee in the Contemporary/Bay Lake Tower complex. Fun Latte art!

From huge three-dollar pastries to drip and espresso-based coffee drinks, when you need a cheap reason to get out of the heat and lounge on cushy sofas, Contemporary Grounds is the perfect escape. If you've been at Walt Disney World in summer, you know how hot it can get. Let me tell you that the lobby of the Contemporary Resort is delightfully cool, and their sofas and chairs are the perfect place to hang out while slowly sipping your double espresso or pretending to be an entire pack of hyenas set loose in the Pridelands while devouring an icing-bukkaked chocolate croissant the size of a 7-Eleven microwave burrito.And if you're a pin trader, you can indulge that craven desire as well, right around the corner. Ask at the concierge desk -- on the far end, away from the porte-cochere (that's French for "registration parking only", right?), down by "The Wave...of American Flavors". Something tells me they had to add "...of American Flavors" after that 1981 after-school special about how easy it is to get high-school students to be dangerously conformist. (In other news, water is wet.)

Contemporary Grounds is sort of like Four bucks, but is really run by CR Joffreys Coffee.This is were I got my coffee to sip on to stay awake during the long lectures and break out sessions in the convention center.

It seems like the employees here are all have the same attitude. They just ignore you and act like you're not there. Then after 10 minutes they just walk over and look at you as if to say what do you want? It's shocking that employees like this are tolerated in a Disney property like Contemporary.
