When staying at Disney’s Polynesian Resort, guests have many high quality dining locations from which to choose. Whether you wish to make special memories at ‘Ohana’s character breakfast, delight in a sushi dinner from Kona Café, just grab a quick bite from Trader Sam’s Tiki Terrace, or seek a Dole Whip dessert from Aloha Isle, the superior meal choices from Disney’s Polynesian Resort are a first-rate amenity at this deluxe resort.
If you’re headed out for the day from your resort room or DVC villa or coming in for the night and are in need of a caffeine boost to fuel the rest of your day, you’ll want to stop by Kona Island Coffee and Sushi Bar. Located on the 2nd level right inside of the entrance to the monorail and adjacent to Kona Café, customers will find a wide variety of coffee beverages and so much more. Open from 6:00AM-8:00PM each day, order a fresh cup of Joffrey’s Coffee and specialty drinks like Americanos, Espressos, Cappuccinos, Lattes, Macchiatos, and Mochas. Fresh pastries like muffins, scones, danishes, and croissants pair perfectly for a quick breakfast before your magical day.
Hot teas and a wide variety of grab-and-go soft drinks, craft beers, and canned cocktails are also available to purchase. The popular POG juice, named Lilikol, and all-natural flavored lemonades can be found on the menu.
Besides your favorite beverage, Kona Island has a great variety of snacks and treats beyond prepackaged snacks that are served after 11:00AM. Find California and Spicy Tuna sushi rolls and delicacies like chocolate dipped strawberries and chocolate covered bacon! A Mickey Dome Cake is the perfect dessert to share as you celebrate a special occasion. If you’re looking for individual servings, select from daily offerings of cupcakes, tiramisu, cheesecakes, chocolate covered strawberries, and other seasonal options. You may find holiday-themed treats as well as other special items designed around a particular celebration like Hispanic Heritage Month or Stitch Day which is celebrated on June 26 each year in honor of Experiment 626. This year during World Princess Week, a Moana mini cake featuring an ocean-like fondant covering a vanilla cake with mango filling.
While guests of Disney’s Polynesian Resort have a large number of dining opportunities, don’t discount Kona Island Coffee and Sushi Bar as a quick stop as you come and go in the morning, afternoon, or night. Try Kona Island for a favorite hot or cold beverage, a scrumptious baked good, a quick sushi snack, or add a little something to your special celebration with a Disney-themed cake or dessert without having to plan far in advance.
