Espresso Meets Gelato: A Fresh Take on Custard, Pistachio, Chocolate, and Peppermint Affogato at Disney Springs’ Vivoli il Gelato Cart
Vivoli il Gelato has debuted a new Affogato cart at Disney Springs, and we were on hand for the grand opening to sample a variety of affogato blends. Each option pairs gelato with a shot of espresso for a cool, caffeinated treat.
New Cart Location
The cart sits in the Marketplace area, nestled between World of Disney and Basin. If you prefer a seated experience, you can have your affogato served in a ceramic mug with a saucer and spoon. For those on the go, it can be packed into a takeaway cup.
Besides affogato, the menu features a few other sweets and a straightforward espresso. These offerings are also available at the main Vivoli il Gelato shop, located in The Landing, if you’re exploring the broader Disney Springs food scene.

Taste Notes
Original (Cream Custard) – $10.50
The original flavor leans toward caramel notes and evokes a Cuban coffee vibe. It’s incredibly creamy and sweet, with the gelato melting into a cold, dessert-like espresso.
Rating: 7/7
Pistachio – $11
A almond-like, nutty profile that brings toffee-nut coffee hints. One tester, a hazelnut devotee, declared it her favorite.
Rating: 6/7
Double Chocolate – $11
A dense, chocolate-forward experience with limited coffee presence, making it more suitable for chocolate lovers or younger guests seeking caffeine-light options.
Rating: 3/7
Seasonal Peppermint – $11
Vanilla gelato crowned with peppermint candy. It’s less sweet than some options and distinctly minty—ideal if you prefer freshness over richness.
Rating: 6/7
Affogato Magnet – $15
A 3D magnet featuring a mug with an affogato diamond perched on a saucer, inscribed with “Vivoli il Gelato – Firenze.” This magnet is available at the main Vivoli il Gelato location.
