Top tier. Likely the best quick service restaurant at a Disney resort I’ve had to date. The atmosphere was welcoming and joyful. The service was top notch! And the food speaks for itself. We did have to wait exactly to our reservation time due to how busy the Polynesian resort is with wait times, but definitely worth it. Also appreciate Disney for taking allergies seriously as we had no issues having a gluten allergy accommodated and considered.

Kona Cafe has long been a breakfast favorite of my family for many, many years. Located on the second floor of the main building at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, it’s an aesthetically pleasing restaurant for which reservations are highly recommended. Unless you are staying there, walk over, or ride over using another mode of Disney transportation, you need a dining reservation to park on property. The rest of this review is going to be a love letter to their legendary Tonga Toast breakfast entree. Tonga Toast is essentially a large piece of bread that is turned into French toast and rolled in cinnamon sugar. There’s half a banana inside- we think it gets mushy and ask for it on the side. It comes with a side choice of like 4 meats. And you can have syrup or Strawberry Compote. We never fail to ask for extra compote and pour it over every inch of that cinnamon coated bread. Amazing. Kids probably need to share one- it’s a lot for one adult to handle. It’s in my top five breakfast dishes of all time. It lives up to the hype, served in a really nice restaurant in a beautiful resort.

We had an amazing experience at Kona Cafe! We had a reservation for a Sunday morning at 9:30 and it was the perfect time. It wasn’t too busy when we were seated.
Our server was amazing! I am not great at keeping track of names but I need to start paying more attention! I eat gluten free and they are SO ACCOMMODATING at Disney. She asked if I was comfortable talking to her or if I would prefer to talk to the chef. They have tickets that they write allergens on to ensure the kitchen is well aware. The kitchen does take some extra time to cook your meal because they are very conscientious of allergies to ensure that nothing is cross contaminated. We were sat and ordered before a table next to us, but they got their food 5-10 minutes before we did. No worries!
We had to get some POG (pineapple, orange, guava) juice! Fricken delicious and refreshing! I ordered the gluten free Polynesian egg platter and it was the perfect amount of food! It was very filling, and nice to have the fruit to lighten it up and a little donut for dessert! The donut is from Erin McKenna’s bakery and is free of 7 or 9 of the top allergens. I cannot remember! It was very good donut for being so free of allergens. My boyfriend ordered the Loco Moco and it was crazy delicious! It seemed unconventional as it was rice, chorizo gravy and a hamburger patty, but it was amazing! The flavor was great, and it honestly wasn’t too filling and heavy.
We had an amazing visit and cannot wait to go back to try more!

For guest of the Polynesian resort, the Kona Café is one of those must do breakfast spots on property. This is where you can get the infamous Tonga toast, which is a dessert breakfast item wearing too thick slices of brioche or perhaps Hollow bread are stuffed with slices of banana, battered, and then fried before being rolled in cinnamon sugar, and served up. I think this leans more toward dessert but is served at breakfast and American fashion. Our party love the Tonga toast, though two of our members did agree that it was a bit too sweet for a breakfast item, and we did decide to split it. Another member got the pancakes that were topped with pineapples, and we can report that the pancakes were very fluffy and the pineapples added it just the right touch of sweetness. We would definitely recommend this place for those staying at the resort or even though staying on the monorail as it is not too difficult to get here from other locations. That being said there are amazing breakfast places in Disney and this isn’t one that we would go out of our way to see, especially given that you really should have a reservation for Kona Café. otherwise the wait times tend to exceed 30 and 45 minutes on average. The other issue might be for those in your party. You have sensory concerns given that the Kona Café is, more or less, in the atrium with all of that accompanying noise. There aren’t really walls that separated from just the general areas and so that can be quite overwhelming. still if you like a tropical flare to your breakfast and don’t mind too much noise or having to wait long for a seat and this is the place for you!

We were able to snag a last minute reservation for dinner as a break from the park. (Suggestion just keep checking because they will open up!)
It was my daughter’s birthday and our server made sure to make her feel special the entire time. The food was amazing! The braised short rib was just falling off the bone and the chicken was so juicy and flavorful. Our son loved that they had a kid-friendly sushi option.

Kona Cafe is always a hit and the food never disappoints. You get the Polynesian vibe right in the center of everything and a second best to being at Ohana. Someone always get the short rib which is delicious. Other great options are the pork chop, salmon, and Asian chicken! Plus if you love the Ohana noodles they are a secret menu idea that can be requested. Apps we get are the pot stickers and wings which h always hit!

I have multiple food allergies and remembered Tonga Toast fondly. The chef came out and explained how they could remake it safe for me.
It was delicious, and I felt safe eating it and not at all like I was a problem, or in the way by asking to see the chef.
It was such a great experience all around and highly wheelchair accessible.

Love the hotel and the atmosphere in the Kona Cafe. Matti was an excellent server. I had the Loco Moco and it wasn’t horrible, but it was horribly bland. The hamburger patty had ZERO seasoning — not even a bit of salt. The gravy was mostly flavorless. The eggs were good. I added ketchup just to give this dish some flavor. I asked for some breakfast potatoes on the side; they were cooked well, but again, no seasoning. Had to douse them in ketchup. My husband had the macadamia nut pancakes. He thought they were okay, but you guessed it, they had zero flavor on their own. If you didn’t put some of the pineapple on top, they would be completely bland. The coffee was great. I had a pot of decaf and he had the Kona Coffee press pot and both were very good.

Catch a full & fresh, tasty breakfast at Polynesian Resort before hitting the Disney World parks. A really neat, totally Vintage Disney feel here. Kona is smaller & more quiet than Ohana, & there are no characters.

Had the pot stickers and the soup of the day to start which both were nice however the mains came out about 5 minutes after we started eating and they said they’d take it back and keep it warm which isn’t really something you’d want happening when spending $150+ on food. So we had to rush and finish what we could leaving half the soup. By the time we got the ribs it’s was warm at best and pretty dry, we added on the mushrooms and potatoes which were nice and definitely helped but at $40 per plate for the ribs alone I expected better
