Schmoozies!
Schmoozies! is a lively quick-service location inside Disney California Adventure serving up chilled beverages and snacks. Located on Buena Vista Street, its retro theming transports guests back to 1920s Los Angeles.
This counter-service spot offers a variety of frozen lemonade, coffee drinks, and smoothies including the Mango Madness and Strawberry Banana Sensation smoothies which are great breakfast options!
Unfortunately, Schmoozies! doesn’t offer breakfast food options so we recommend pairing it with a baked good from Starbucks!
Pym Test Kitchen
Pym’s Test Kitchen is a popular quick-service restaurant located in Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure. With an imaginative backstory based on Ant-Man and The Wasp, the eatery serves size-themed foods like gigantic chicken sandwiches and tiny pretzel bites.
The creative menu options utilize Pym Particles to enlarge and shrink meals for a unique dining experience.
One of Pym’s Test Kitchen most popular breakfast items is the “Impossible Quantum Garden Breakfast,” which features plant-based eggs, crispy potato bites, and a side of focaccia toast. This dish is a great option for guests who are looking for a hearty breakfast that’s also vegetarian or vegan.

Another breakfast option at Pym Test Kitchen is the “Ever-Expanding Cinna-Pym Toast,” which is a large piece of toasted cinnamon sugar bread served with a side of compound butter and a small serving of miniature marshmallows.
This dish is a fun and indulgent way to start your day, and it’s perfect for sharing with a group.
