The TODAY Cafe is a coffee shop inspired by one of the most popular morning talk shows, the TODAY show. All of the food at the cafe is inspired by the anchors themselves, with options ranging from avocado toast to organic acai bowls. Best of all, there is a contest currently running to visit Universal Orlando and the TODAY Cafe for free. Not only will the lucky winner receive a trip for four guests to the park, but they will also attend the grand opening of the TODAY Show Cafe and sit in on a taping of the show.
