Forget poisoned apples and enchanted spinning wheels. This time, the Disney villains aren’t scheming for world domination (or at least, not explicitly). They’re serving up lattes and casting spells of deliciousness at the new Disney Villains Cursed Cafe. Is this pop-up experience a delightful descent into darkness or simply a cauldron of clichés? Read on as we venture into the lair of latte art and wickedly good waffles to uncover whether the Cursed Cafe is truly enchanting or just another villainous plot to empty your wallet.
A Wickedly Delicious Concept
Imagine stepping into a lair where the lighting is dim, the décor screams wicked elegance, and the air crackles with a mischievous energy. That’s the experience at the Disney Villains Cursed Cafe. It’s not just dining; it’s immersive theatre, where every detail, from the subtly themed music to the intricate potion bottle centerpieces, plays into the deliciously sinister narrative. This isn’t your typical character dining; the villains are in charge here, and they’re relishing every moment. You’re not just observing, you’re becoming part of their world – albeit temporarily, and thankfully without any real curses involved (that we know of…).
The menu itself is a playful homage to iconic villains, each dish a clever reflection of its namesake. From the rich and decadent “Maleficent’s Dark Chocolate Cake” to the fiery “Hades’ Hot Chicken Sandwich,” the food is as captivating as the ambiance. And the drinks? Let’s just say they’re potent enough to conjure up a few spells of your own. Consider these devilish delights:
- The Evil Queen’s Poison Apple Martini: Sweet, tart, and dangerously tempting.
- Cruella’s Spotted Fashionista: A vibrant and refreshing concoction.
- Ursula’s Sea Witch Brew: A mysterious and mesmerizing elixir.

Ambiance Dripping with Villainous Charm
Forget poisoned apples and enchanted spinning wheels, the real magic of the Disney Villains Cursed Cafe lies in its immersive theming. Every detail, from the dimly lit corners echoing with sinister laughter to the ornate, gothic-inspired decor, exudes a deliciously wicked vibe. Subtle nods to iconic villains are woven throughout the space, rewarding observant guests with a treasure trove of Easter eggs. Portraits of infamous antagonists adorn the walls, while cunningly placed props hint at their devilish schemes. You might spot a chipped teacup reminiscent of a certain Mad Hatter or a magic lamp shimmering with a genie’s untapped power.
The cafe’s soundtrack further enhances the experience, blending familiar Disney melodies with a darker, more dramatic twist. Imagine the eerie calm before Maleficent casts a spell, punctuated by the playful cackle of Cruella de Vil. Even the menu embraces the theme, with cleverly named dishes and drinks that add another layer of playful wickedness to the experience. See below for a sampling of the fiendishly delightful offerings.
| Dish | Inspiration |
|---|---|
| The Queen’s Poisoned Apple Tart | Snow White |
| Hades’ Hot Chocolate | Hercules |
| Ursula’s Sea Witch Smoothie | The Little Mermaid |
Menu: Where Mischief Meets Gastronomy
Forget poisoned apples and spinning wheels; the real evil here lies in the agonizing decisions you’ll face picking from this delightfully wicked menu. Do you dare try the Queen of Hearts’ “Off With Their Heads!” tart, a decadent raspberry and dark chocolate creation? Perhaps Ursula’s “Poor Unfortunate Souls” seafood boil, brimming with shellfish and a mysteriously spiced broth, is more your speed. The Hades’ “Hot Stuff” burger, featuring ghost pepper cheese and a fiery habanero relish, definitely brings the heat, while Cruella’s “Dalmatian-Spotted” cake offers a lighter, vanilla-based option with playfully dotted icing. Every dish is a playful nod to a different villain, tempting your tastebuds down a path of delicious darkness.
Beyond the entrees, the themed beverages are equally enchanting (or should we say, bewitching?). Maleficent’s “Dragon’s Breath” smoothie blends exotic fruits with a smoky dry ice effect, while Dr. Facilier’s “Friends on the Other Side” cocktail mixes dark rum and mysterious tropical flavors. For a less potent potion, the “Gaston’s Brew” is a hearty, non-alcoholic ale perfect for boasting about your own greatness (or just enjoying with a meal). Below, you’ll find a glimpse of the price range for these devilishly delightful dishes.
| Dish Category | Price Range |
| Appetizers | $12 – $18 |
| Entrees | $20 – $35 |
| Desserts | $10 – $15 |
| Specialty Drinks | $8 – $16 |
A Cast of Characters to Die For
Forget poisoned apples and enchanted spinning wheels, the real magic at the Disney Villains Cursed Cafe is the deliciously wicked performances. Each villain brings their iconic flair to the dining experience, never breaking character while they mingle with guests, pose for photos, and deliver lines sharper than Maleficent’s cheekbones. Cruella’s disdain for dalmatians (and anyone not draped in fur) is hilariously palpable, while Ursula’s booming laughter echoes through the cavernous space. It’s a constant, immersive performance that elevates the cafe from a simple themed restaurant to a truly memorable theatrical experience.
The level of detail in each villain’s portrayal is truly impressive. From the subtle mannerisms to the perfectly timed quips, it’s clear the cast has meticulously studied their characters. It’s a masterclass in character acting, and watching them interact is a joy for any Disney fan. Just be sure to watch your back – you never know when a villain might be plotting their next grand scheme. See below for a glimpse at some of the nefarious personalities you might encounter:
| Villain | Signature Quirk | Danger Level |
| Cruella de Vil | Obsessively checks for stray hairs | High (to your wardrobe) |
| Ursula | Offers unsolicited (and potentially binding) contracts | Extreme (to your soul) |
| Dr. Facilier | Constantly shuffling a deck of tarot cards | Moderate (mostly financial) |
| Maleficent | Glares that could curdle milk | Very High (existential threat) |
Spellbinding Performance or Just a Curse?
Stepping into the dimly lit Cursed Cafe felt like stumbling onto a villainous stage production. From Cruella DeVille’s flamboyant pronouncements on fashion (darling, spots are IN) to Ursula’s booming laughter echoing across the room, the immersive experience is undeniably captivating. Each villain delivers their lines with a theatrical flair, clearly relishing the chance to ham it up for their captive audience. However, while the performances are energetic, some moments felt a little… forced. Maleficent’s constant sneering, for example, bordered on caricature, and Hades seemed to be phoning in his fiery pronouncements. The constant barrage of villainy, while amusing at first, can also become somewhat overwhelming, leaving diners yearning for a brief respite from the deliciously evil theatrics.
The real magic, however, lies in the smaller details. The poison apple martinis served in smoking beakers, the subtle nods to each villain’s backstory woven into the decor, and the cleverly themed menu items (Gaston’s Eggs Benedict, anyone?) create an atmosphere that’s both playful and immersive. It’s worth noting that the actors truly shine during their impromptu interactions with guests. Whether it’s Scar plotting to steal your dessert or the Evil Queen subtly insulting your fashion choices, these unscripted moments inject a genuine spontaneity into the dining experience.
| Villain | Performance Highlight | Room for Improvement |
| Cruella DeVille | Improv fashion critiques of guests | Overuse of “darling” |
| Ursula | Booming laughter and dramatic flair | Occasional forgotten lines |
| Maleficent | Imposing stage presence | Over-the-top sneering |
The Price of Villainy: Is It Worth the Gold?
Cruella DeVille’s penthouse? Maleficent’s lair? Ursula’s underwater grotto? These dastardly domains inspire the lavishly themed rooms of the Cursed Cafe, each dripping with villainous detail. From poison apple mocktails to Hades’ hot chocolate, the menu is a playful homage to Disney’s iconic antagonists. But is this immersive experience truly worth its weight in gold? While the elaborate decor and character interactions are undeniably enchanting, the premium prices for relatively standard fare leave one questioning whether the experience caters more to Instagram feeds than to actual appetites. The costumed actors certainly chew the scenery (and occasionally the furniture), but is the performance enough to justify the high cost of admission? Ultimately, it depends on your priorities – are you a die-hard Disney fan willing to pay a premium for a unique, themed experience, or are you a more budget-conscious consumer seeking a delicious meal and a good show?
Perhaps a more balanced approach would entice a wider range of patrons. Imagine a tiered system, offering variations in price and experience:
| Tier | Description | Estimated Price |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Curse | Standard cafe entry, themed decor, basic menu. | $ |
| Villainous Indulgence | Character interactions, premium menu items, reserved seating. | $$ |
| Ultimate Evil | Private room, bespoke menu, extended character performance. | $$$ |
Such a system could retain the magic for dedicated fans while providing a more accessible entry point for casual diners. After all, even villains appreciate a good value.

Each villain has inspired a unique space within the cafe, from Hades’ fiery underworld corner to the Evil Queen’s poison apple-themed bakery display. The music is appropriately sinister, a medley of villainous tunes, and the staff even stays in character with amusingly wicked banter. It’s immersively evil, in the best possible way.
But what about the food? Fear not, brave souls, for the menu is just as decadent as the decor. While the Evil Queen’s Poison Apple Tartlets might look tempting, they won’t actually put you to sleep. Rather, they’re sweet and delicious. Similarly, Cruella’s spotted Dalmatian Cake Pops are charmingly wicked. To help you navigate the villainous victuals, we’ve compiled a quick guide:

Not Your Average Character Dining
Forget princesses and pixie dust, this dining experience celebrates the deliciously wicked side of Disney. The Cursed Cafe flips the script, allowing the villains to take center stage. It’s not just about the food (though that’s certainly impressive), it’s about the performance. Cruella de Vil’s haughty pronouncements, Maleficent’s dramatic flair, and Ursula’s booming laughter echo through the elaborately themed dining room. They aren’t just background characters; they’re actively engaging with guests, posing for photos, signing autographs (with a flourish, naturally), and generally hamming it up. It’s an immersive experience that transforms a simple meal into a theatrical production.
The level of detail in both the characters’ performances and the dining environment elevates this experience beyond other character dining. From the poison apple-inspired décor to the themed menu items, every element contributes to the overall ambiance. Take a look at the characters we encountered during our visit:
| Villain | Signature Quirk | Interaction Highlight |
| Cruella de Vil | Demanding her dalmatian puppy back (from a child’s stuffed animal) | Critiquing guests’ fashion choices |
| Maleficent | Cackling dramatically after every sentence | Posing for photos with a genuinely menacing glare |
| Ursula | Offering guests “deals” (with hilariously outrageous terms) | Serenading a table with a personalized (and slightly off-key) version of “Poor Unfortunate Souls” |

It’s more than just a novelty experience, it’s a delightful dining experience with a villainous twist.

The clever use of projections and sound effects adds another layer of immersion, transforming the cafe from a simple dining spot into a captivating theatrical production. It’s clear that immense attention to detail has been poured into every corner of this space, resulting in an atmosphere as enchanting as it is menacing.
But the real magic lies in the character interactions. Forget polite meet-and-greets – here, the villains truly ham it up!
