Foodie Fare finds at The Writer's Stop

There are numerous Foodie Fare finds in Disney's Hollywood Studios but we have found the most irresistible snack find to be at The Writers Stop. Tucked away and often missed (next to The Sci Fi Dine-In Theater) is the little book store with the art deco facade where you can find the famous Carrot Cake Cookies.
The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy. In the summer months this is THE place to get cool! There are seating nooks by the window with tall wooden stools (my favorite spot) and a few small tables in the back. A sofa (which is always occupied) and TV playing old Disney cartoons adds charm and sometimes a quiet escape from the park.  It can get crowded as it is a popular snack stop. It's not a place for very large groups to meet (although we have done it) unless you like to stand and mingle. 

Browsing the shelves of books you'll find art books, cookbooks, Disney books of all kinds. I even found a Star Wars language translation book! There was a large selection of "green" lunch bags and bottles alongside Disney kitchen gadgets galore. 
They serve counter serve lunches (1 CS) seasonally, cold drinks, "real" iced coffee, lattes, flavored coffees and assorted pastries, muffins and cookies. 

There it is in the case. If you don't see it, ask for one. They sometimes pre-wrap them. The famous Carrot Cake Cookie consists of two layers of soft moist carrot cake. If there are any nuts or raisins in it I have never tasted them.  I'd check first before ordering if you're concerned about allergies because traditionally carrot cake is made with raisins and nuts. The filling is thick soft sweet cream cheese icing. All for $2.95 or 1 snack credit:)


There you have it  ~ my Foodie Fare find for the week.
The famous Carrot Cake Cookie, a cup of coffee and good company. 



Have you tried the Writer's Stop? What's your favorite Disney cookie ?

  1. Of all the times I've been to Hollywood Studios, I only just stumbled upon this place a couple years ago. Had one of the better iced coffees at WDW from there...

  2. Haven't tried the iced coffee. I'll try it next time. The hot coffee is some of the best on property:)

  3. I have heard so many people rave about the carrot cake cookie! I have yet to go to Hollywood Studios (it's the only park I haven't been to... hoping to take care of that VERY soon!) and I can't wait to get an iced coffee and famous carrot cake cookie! Thanks for stopping by on the Tiggerific Tuesday Blog Hop. I'm your newest follower. :)

  4. I think I got a cup of coffee there in 2009 - I couldn't have told you the name of the place, though. Those cookies look good!

  11. My boy had a nap there on our last trip and we sat on the couch, enjoying one of those cookies and myself drinking a delicious iced coffee - they brew their own on site! Amazing compared to all of the frozen coffee slush machines all over property.. As for the cookie.. not my fave. Not bad, but not worth all the fuss for me!
