Whether you need coffee to start your day or to beat the inevitable mid-day slump from an action-packed theme park day, you are probably wondering where to get coffee at Universal Studios Orlando. And is there a Starbucks in Universal Orlando?
We are sharing all of the coffee locations at Universal Orlando Resort to stay caffeinated during your vacation.
Starbucks at Universal Orlando
Universal Orlando Resort has several Starbucks locations in the theme parks, CityWalk and resorts.
At these Universal Studios Starbucks, you will generally find the same beverage options and food choices that you would find at a Starbucks back home, although selections can differ slightly.
Universal Studios Florida
Located in the New York area opposite Louie’s Italian Restaurant. This is near The Mummy and Fast and Furious attractions.

Starbucks coffee is served up at all official Universal Orlando Resort hotels. Some resorts have actual Starbucks cafes, including:
- Cabana Bay Beach Resort
- Portofino Bay Resort

TODAY Cafe
Located in Universal CityWalk, Today Cafe is themed like the NBC early morning news program, because NBCUniversal owns Universal Studios.
This quick-service cafe is a great place to have breakfast at Universal CityWalk Orlando before going into the theme parks.
It is also a great place to grab a cup of Joe mid-day when you need a break from the crowds of the parks. If you come here to get some coffee, you can easily re-enter Universal Studios theme parks later in the day.
There are a variety of ways to enjoy your coffee at this bright and airy cafe, including:

VooDoo Donut
If you want a sugar fix and a caffeine hit, then go to Voodoo Donut at Universal CityWalk.

Universal’s Fresh Eats
If you really need coffee first thing in the morning and you haven’t gotten any at your hotel, then Universal’s Fresh Eats in the Security Rotunda of the parking garage is going to be your quickest caffeine fix.
This food stall serves up three choices of Starbucks coffees as well as a few choices of VooDoo Donuts. Since most people walk right by this kiosk to get to the theme parks quickly, you probably won’t find the long lines like you will at the Starbucks or Voo Doo Donuts locations.
HOT TIP!
Make a Butterbeer Latte by combining a hot butter beer with a cup of coffee!
Get one cup of coffee and another cup of hot butterbeer and combine in a separate cup.
OR, bring instant coffee packets with you to add to a cup of hot butterbeer.
