EPCOT is known for its festivals, which are fantastic, but they can sometimes overshadow the year-round culinary delights found in the World Showcase Pavilions. Here are some of our favorite non-festival food items that you can enjoy throughout the year. Mexico Choza de Margarita has become my go-to spot in the Mexico Pavilion. Tucked away outside the iconic pyramid, this gem offers a variety of margaritas, including rotating seasonal options, and delicious snacks like empanadas. It’s a great value compared to the Mexico-inspired festival booths. Norway The Norway Pavilion has gained popularity with the addition of Frozen, but it’s also home to  Kringla Bakeri og Kafe , a long-time favorite of mine. The school bread, a sweet cardamom bun filled with vanilla custard and topped with coconut, is a must-try. I also recommend the lefse, a soft flatbread rolled with cinnamon, sugar, and butter. China To avoid getting too full while exploring, I like to grab a refreshing tea from  The Joy of
