Positive aspects of the product (pros): Fresh, delicious baked goods and coffee drinks Cons: Long line; confusing counter/display window set-up
I am rating Blue Ribbon Bakery as an '8' for one main item. Two words. CINNAMON ROLL. If you can deal with the somewhat long line and inabililty to view what goodies are to be had in the display window (because the line of people blocks the display window), then you are in for a treat. The cinnamon roll is a warm, sticky, ooey gooey gob of wonderful-ness, heaping with melted icing. I was a bit put off by the perplexing set-up of the line and the fact that I could not see what was in the display window until I actually got up to the register (hmmmm.... seems like a clever strategy to coax people to buy!), but once I took a bite of the cinnamon roll, it was all worthwhile. A nice frozen, blended mocha drink washed it down. Be forewarned - this cinnamon roll is a lot of 'sweet' to deal with, so you may want to share it with a friend. Blue Ribbon Bakery also sells yummy muffins and cakes and cookies and all sorts of sinful treats, and I hear they used to sell a very popular strawberry shortcake, which somehow eluded me and now is no longer sold. If I could get that heavenly cinnamon roll AND a piece of strawberry shortcake in one place, I may never need to go anywhere else in Disneyland! This is a great place to go to sit and rehash the day's events over a post-dinner dessert and coffee.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Yummy blueberry muffins and cinnamon rolls! Cons: You have to hit it at the right time in the morning or else the line gets long
I had to give this a 10 because I LOVE LOVE LOVE their blueberry muffins. The crumb top is so good and it just melts in your mouth. Sometimes we also split a cinnamon roll (really big and covered in cream cheese icing-yum!), and my husband also loves their chocolate muffins (which is basically chocolate cake, haha). They also have coffee, cookies, pre-made sandwiches, fruit cups, and other desserts/pastries/rice crispy treats etc- and hot chocolate and other juices. My husband will drink the coffee from here, but most others we know don't care for it very much and try to get coffee elsewhere before we enter the park.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Great pastries, good brewed espresso drinks Cons: Line can get long, CMs don't always seem to be organized
My wife and I like to hit the parks early, eating a breakfast bar on the way there, and get as many rides done in the first 1-2 hours of the park being open. If you're the same, take some time to head back to main street and hit the bakery. The crowds will have passed by then. The giant cinnamon rolls, frosted on the spot, are amazing. My wife had the season muffin which she thought was a great balance of moist and flaky.
I'd recommend getting your coffee and pastry and going across the street to the small sidestreet that leads to the lockers. Plenty of tables, great people watching, and you'll experience some awesome ambiance from the windows up above.
