Arepas Near Disney Springs: Breakfast to Dinner
Sofrito Latin Cafe, a Cuban and Latin cafe on Palm Parkway five minutes from Disney Springs, serves Venezuelan arepas at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The catch is the boards. Breakfast lists six arepas and lunch and dinner lists four, so two fills are breakfast only.

Breakfast Board vs Lunch and Dinner Board: Which Arepas Run When
Four arepas run at breakfast, lunch and dinner, while Jamón y Queso and Perico appear only on the breakfast board at Sofrito Latin Cafe. The breakfast arepa board lists six arepas. The lunch and dinner arepas board keeps four of them.
The two breakfast-only picks are the Jamón y Queso arepa, printed as ham and Gouda cheese, and the Perico arepa, printed as scrambled eggs with onion and tomato.
| Arepa | Board |
|---|---|
| Jamón y Queso | Breakfast only |
| Perico | Breakfast only |
| Queso de Mano | Both boards |
| Catira | Both boards |
| Pabellón | Both boards |
| Pelúa | Both boards |
The four shared arepas print the same fill on both boards, so the Pabellón at dinner reads exactly like the Pabellón at breakfast. If Jamón y Queso or Perico is the one you want, come for breakfast. Check today's hours on our Google Business Profile before you go.

Picking Arepas for a Mixed Table
Every arepa on both boards carries the menu's GF tag, and Queso de Mano is the one arepa also tagged Vegetarian. That makes a mixed table easy to split by fill.
Catira and Pelúa both pair Gouda cheese with a shredded meat: chicken in the Catira, beef in the Pelúa. Pabellón has the longest fill list of the four, with shredded beef, black beans, sweet plantain and white cheese. Queso de Mano, filled with handmade white soft cheese, is the pick for anyone skipping meat.
The GF and Vegetarian tags describe each dish as printed. They don't tell you how the kitchen handles shared surfaces, and the menu asks every guest to tell the cashier about any food allergy, intolerance or dietary condition. Do that before you order, especially for celiac disease. For gluten free picks beyond arepas, see our gluten free guide.
The Short Version
For arepas near Disney Springs, Sofrito Latin Cafe on Palm Parkway serves four fills at breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus two at breakfast only. The two breakfast-only fills are Jamón y Queso and Perico.
FAQ
Is the Pabellón arepa the same as Pabellón Criollo?
No. The Pabellón arepa is filled with shredded beef, black beans, sweet plantain and white cheese, and it sits on both arepa boards. Pabellón Criollo is a separate dish on the menu, and our Pabellón Criollo explainer covers that dish.
Which arepa has no meat?
The Queso de Mano arepa is the only arepa tagged Vegetarian, and it's on both boards. Perico's printed fill is scrambled eggs with onion and tomato, but it isn't tagged Vegetarian, so ask the cashier if that matters for your table.
Are the mini arepas on other plates the same as the arepa board?
Treat them as separate. The arepa boards list each filled arepa as its own item with its own printed fill and tags. An arepa that comes as part of another plate belongs to that plate, so check that dish's item page for what's included.
How far is Sofrito Latin Cafe from Disney Springs?
Five minutes. Sofrito sits on Palm Parkway in the Lake Buena Vista hotel area.
Can I call ahead with an allergy question?
You can call (407) 778-4205 before you go. Then tell the cashier again when you order, since the menu asks every guest to flag any food allergy, intolerance or dietary condition.
