The Cake Bake Shop Bakery, What the Heck?

[KDM31091]

It is crazy how many people are willing to spend such inflated prices. Even being at WDW, their prices are insane. The butter croissants are $3.25 at Les Halles in Epcot and are wonderful. At the Cake Bake Shop, a croissant is $11.00 with a side of jam. Come on, that is ridiculous.
Where does the greed end?

Also, A half sandwich for more than $20 is just insane to me. Especially when most people say the food is just okay, not outstanding. I don’t see it lasting for long.

Open Table customers rate CBS as excellent 4.7. Most posters, who actually dined at CBS seem to enjoy it.

Dinner with Santa sold out in a few hours.

There is a niche market of guests willing to pay a premium price for atmosphere.

On TripAdvisor it has a fairly average 3.7 rating. Atmosphere does count, and the place is beautiful. But price does matter, even inclusive of atmosphere. I just can't align the prices with the food in my head. I guess time will tell if it lasts. I think it's kinda unfitting for the Boardwalk. I am hoping Big River Grille gets replaced with a proper QS or a more reasonably priced TS option.

Like you said, niche market. Will that keep it afloat forever on the Boardwalk which obviously is struggling to retain tenants? I don't know. Disney does somewhat feed into this issue since you can't just park and explore the Boardwalk; you have to have a dining reservation. So it limits the pool of people who will just impulsively try a slice of cake or something. I would think after ~7pm or so when they no longer police parking fees at the parks most nights the Boardwalk should be available for parking so more business can be drummed up for the shops and dining.

Open Table limits reviews to people who have dined there. Other sites include reviews by people who didn't eat there. People who are basing the review on price.

Big River, Jellyrolls and ESPN had long runs.

Disney wanted the ESPN and Jellyrolls space.
