The La Brea Bakery® Café and Express Café reopened last week after its recent renovation at the Disneyland® Resort. Part of the Downtown Disney® District, the bakery serves American and eclectic Californian cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The La Brea Bakery® Café will feature many additions to their new menu. Enjoy something new like the Red Pepper Artichoke, Italian Sausage and Sunny Side Up Flatbreads. Or maybe the new California Salad with sun dried tomatoes, apricots, candied walnuts and goat cheese paired with a glass of wine from their new, exciting wine list.

The La Brea Bakery® Express Café, is now offering a larger selection of freshly made panini, sandwiches, salads, breakfasts and a large variety of pastries and sweets all made fresh daily at La Brea Bakery®. The new deep-dish focaccia, meat or cheese lasagna, and turkey chili are all available. La Brea Bakery® also offers a variety of its artisan-style breads packaged to enjoy at home.

Reservations for The La Brea Bakery® Café may be made in advance by contacting your Magic Maker®.

On Oct. 17, 2007, Disneyland® Resort announced expansion plans for Disney California Adventure® Park that would bring more Disney magic and storytelling into the park. But, the plans didn’t exclude the rest of the Disneyland® Resort.  This five-year journey has added magical innovation, new attractions, shows, parades and firework spectaculars at both theme parks. It also included stunning renovations at the three Disneyland® Resort Hotels and exciting experiences and locations in the Downtown Disney® District.

This week is a very special time for the Disneyland® Resort as it marks the completion of the majority of this five-year expansion with the opening of Cars Land and Buena Vista Street. To help celebrate this milestone, we will have agents at the Disneyland® Resort covering many of the additions as well as focusing most of our website updates to the California parks. Please be sure to follow along as we uncover how “The Happiest Place on Earth Just Got Happier.”
