1. Churro Toffee

The Churro Toffee is a white chocolate and cinnamon sugar-coated hunk of toffee that is becoming increasingly popular and expensive.

You can find it Trolley Treats in Disney California Adventure or Marceline’s Confectionary in Disney Springs. Could this eventuallyreplace the classic Mickey Pretzel?

2. Carthay Circle Lounge

The downstairs lounge of Carthay Circle is second on our list of the best restaurants in Disneyland California Adventure.

Inside you’ll discover a well-thought-out cocktail menu.

There’s also a collection of small plates that compete with normal entrees anywhere else. The meals and beverages here have a classic feel about them, similar to old-fashioned cocktails.

In addition, the duck confit empanadas and the out-of-this-world Rose Petal Soda are worth noting.

3. Pym’s Test Kitchen

Pym’s Test Kitchen is the third stop on our list of the best food in Disneyland California Adventure.

A distinctive but unusual selection of Italian subs, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with candied bacon (yes, you read correctly!), and cartoon-like oversized chicken schnitzel greets you when you enter Marvel-themed area.

DISNEY NERD TIP: The homemade brownie candy bar is epically delicious, so save some room for it!

4. Filled Cone’s at Cozy Cone Motel

Inside The Cars Land, you’ll find food that morphs waffle cone-like qualities with savory bites.

We’re talkin’ Chili Cone Queso filled with Bacon Mac n’ Cheese.

Essentially, these are bready cones which you can fill with your choice of essentials.

Other options include beef or vegetarian chili wrapped in a bread cone and topped with (yes, you guessed it) cheese and Fritos.

DISNEY NERD TIP: Keep an eye out for seasonal cones.

5. “Pear of Dice” Soda

As you walk around with this hand in your pocket, many people will notice. This is essentially an Italian soda with a twist.

6. Sourdough Bread Bowl Soup at Pacific Wharf Cafe

Boudin Bakery on the Disney California Adventure park offers bread bowls filled with a vast pool of molten broccoli-cheddar soup, clam chowder, or any other seasonal dish.

Also available at the Pacific Wharf Café are fresh sandwiches and salads, as well as soups in bread bowls.

DISNEY NERD TIP: This area is designed like a food court. Great if your group is full of picky eaters.

7. Drumettes at Poultry Palace

These drumsticks are easy to grab and go. If you loved Shake ‘n Bake as a kid, you’ll adore these drumettes!

DISNEY NERD TIP: Located in the Pixar Pier, we also recommend getting a side of corn on the cob.

8. Sonoma Terrace

Despite first impressions walking by, the Sonoma terrace serves more than wine and drinks.

They also offer a great selection of quick snacks.

They’re known for their meatball sandwiches, pretzels and other items on their ever-changing menu.

DISNEY NERD TIP: Sonoma Terrace usually is the first to offer special menu items themed for special festivals and holidays going on inside California Adventure.

9. Studio Catering Co.

As you walk out of Guardians of the Galaxy, you are a little dizzy and loopy in the head.

But then your vision clears, and you see…what’s that?

A food truck!

You’re right.

This food truck is known for having tacos and nachos.

You’ll find vegan options as well as seasonal or festival additions to their menu.

DISNEY NERD TIP: If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option for quick snacks inside California Adventure, this is the place to go!

10. Corn Dog Castle

Corn Dog Castle has the crispiest, deep-fried corn dog you’ll find any where else.

DISNEY NERD TIP: If you’re vegetarian, ask for the fried cheese on a stick.

11. Paradise Garden Grill

We love how often the menu changes at the Paradise Gar of the Paradise Garden Grill depending on the season or festival.

One month you’ll find a massive selection of Asian food.

Other months you’ll find Mexican food.

DISNEY NERD TIP: Lunar New Year offers the best Asian food in Disneyland California Adventure.

12. Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta

We saved the best for last in our guide to best food in Disneyland California Adventure.

You can’t go wrong with pizza or pasta!

DISNEY NERD TIP: You also can’t go wrong with cafeteria-style as well, especially for a place offering full meals, rather than snacks.

Eating here for a main course will save you time compared to a traditional sit down-type restaurant.

Yes, this means you’ll spend WAY more time in the park!

Besides pizza and pasta, you’ll find freshly salads that can be made for any preferences.
