    Came here with a friend to catch up and not only is the staff beyond friendly and helpful, the drinks and food were delicious! I ordered a decaf iced "shaken espresso" style coffee with a breakfast sandwich. Did not disappoint. I took pics of the pastries and plan to revisit to try one of those soon! Great spot to relax, soak in the view, do a little work ,or to just sit there and do nothing! The vibe was perfect!

    This morning we took a really big walk and decided to stop at the 4 SEASONS coffeehouse for some morning, coffee and pastries. I got an iced shaken espresso with oat milk and two pumps of vanilla, sugar-free syrup, my mom got a iced Americano with sugar-free syrup, the coffee was very creamy and had a really good strong flavor and then we sat and looked out onto the bay. My mom also got a slice of warm banana bread. The total for my receipt was only $26 including tip. The 4 SEASONS is a private resort however you can get to the restaurant and the bars in the coffee area from the Koolina Bay that they share with Disney's Aulani.

    Love this cafe! I come here all the time from Kapolei to study and I absolutely love it. The view never disappoints and the baristas are all super nice. I highly recommend their vanilla mac nut latte and any of their hot breakfasts! Parking is valet only (unless you wanna walk from the lagoon parking), but they do offer validation for up to 3 hours with a $50 purchase.

    Food and pastries are very tasty. Easy to grab a bite to eat. Share a snack with a friend. Service is quick and sweet. Always sweet. Music is always a vibe. Always clean and with a nice view. Fresh air and cozy.

    My favorite spot to grab lunch in Ko Olina. This cafe within the Four Seasons at Ko Olina has the best food. Whether it is a spam musabi, truffle egg salad sandwich, or a healthy Buddha bowl, you can order whatever you are craving and it's all guaranteed to be delicious, fresh and healthy. Their coffee is also fantastic, and the service is of course amazing. To top it all off, the views off this cafe are incredible. They have a great selection of beverages and packaged snacks, as well if you want to take your food as a picnic to the beach! I have been here many times and I love it.

    Absolutely stunning place to come for some quiet time, reading, studying, or journaling. The cafe corner is very cute and also right next to the outdoor patio that outlooks the lagoon and ocean. BEAUTIFUL! There's complimentary wifi and a "faster, safer" wifi you can upgrade to with a little payment. I comfortably had a zoom call and had little to no issues at all. The resort staff also lets you maintain your privacy without bothering you or asking unnecessary questions. This is, by far, one of my most favorite places to spend my time working or studying. The coffee is good, but you are also paying a premium just because it's in the Four Seasons.

    I had very high hopes walking in because it looks fantastic and has a great view. Good food menu, prompt service and amazing view. I ordered a cappuccino that was definitely not up to par. It was the same boiling-hot, weird tasting "coffee" like they serve at the ABC store across the road. Food was good but if they just spent a couple hours training their barista how to actually make a coffee, it would be 5 stars. Surely in 2023 at a world leading resort that would be so easy to do. Others in our party who got a drip coffee thought the drip coffee was fine. I would love to see them have ceramic cups too because that would considerably reduce wastage and make it a tastier coffee. Overall: Espresso coffee (eg cappuccino) 1/5. Food: 4/5. Nice selection of croissants etc too.

    One of the more popular dining option at Aulani. We visited here a handful of times during our 5…read morenight stay. It is more of a grab and go place although there are tables in the patio area. After a long day of travel, we opted to order dinner here. Can be busy for lunch and dinner so plan accordingly. We got the Mac nut crusted fish - this tasted a bit like candy... but the mash potatoes and veggies were perfection. Their pizzas were delicious- the dough is chewy and they can be generous with the toppings. We got their pizza twice. My husband got breakfast here once - their oatmeal was hot and good. We got a refillable mug and it was definitely worth it for our 5 night stay in btw regular water refills and sodas for our family of 3.

    Well deserved -- quick and convenient pool‑side bites! )…read more We had breakfast and lunch at Ulu Café at Aulani, and honestly it was a perfect "pool day" meal stop! Breakfast here was French toast & sausage and a bagel breakfast sandwich -- nothing crazy fancy, but it was totally satisfying (especially eating by the pool -- because everything tastes better with a view ). I loved how convenient the hours are, especially when you're just chilling at the pool and don't want to go far for food. It's a great option if you want something quick, casual, and easy without a sit‑down reservation. Lunch we ordered a cheese pizza and Hawaiian Sun juices -- again, simple and tasty, and perfect when you're in swimwear and ready to eat right by the water . The location is super easy to find too -- right by the Wailana Pool -- which makes it clutch for lazy pool days. A few honest notes: At peak meal times it can get crowded and there's a line, so showing up a little before or after typical breakfast/lunch rush helps a lot. Seating is outside around the cafe and pool -- no fancy indoor dining, but that's part of the vibe! Menu & What They Serve: Ulu Café isn't just breakfast -- it's more like a grab‑and‑go + quick service counter with a rotating selection: * Breakfast favorites like eggs, bacon, French toast, breakfast sandwiches & flatbreads (served around 6:30AM-11AM) * Lunch & dinner options like poke bowls, sandwiches, flatbreads & pizzas (11AM-9PM) * Snacks, pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt, desserts (all day) * Grab‑and‑go salads, wraps, drinks & convenience items too Hours: * Breakfast: ~6:30AM - 11:00AM * All‑day menu (Lunch/Dinner): ~11:00AM - 9:00PM Price Ranges (approx): * Breakfast items (French toast, bagel sandwiches, flatbreads): around $9-$15+ * Lunch items (pizza, sandwiches, poke bowls): around $12-$22+ * Drinks (juices, sodas & refillable mugs): varies, and they have a refillable cup you can use all stay which many guests say is worth it for pool days Why we liked it: Quick + easy -- perfect for heading back to the pool ‍ Great poolside location with views Convenient hours for early breakfast or a casual lunch Simple, familiar menu that's kid‑friendly Why it wasn't 5 stars for food: * Not a fine dining experience -- more casual convenience * Lines at peak times can be long -- but worth it for the easy access to food by the pool! If you're planning a pool day and don't want to wander for food -- Ulu Café is awesome. Quick, tasty, easy to find, and perfect for laid‑back Hawaii vibes .

It's an ABC store with a made to order kitchen, so you could order hot food as well. They have monthly specials, coffee and other drink options (milk tea, smoothies, etc) - and all the cute souvenirs you could imagine! If you don't see musubi's out, just ask. They may have some in the back. They also have katsu musubi's ($5). We ordered a few things here and everything was pretty good! Even the loco moco was better than the one at our resort... If you order from the smoothie counter (where they have smoothies, açaí bowls, milk tea, pastries and gelato) - get a punch card. There's $5 off once you get 10 punches. Also, you have to pay for parking. Don't try to pass this up. We've seen the tow truck a few times here, doing their job! Overall, it's a great option away from resort prices!

I told myself that I would only spend 30 minutes here, but I ended up extending my parking four times. No regrets and no parking ticket.

I never have done the character breakfast so this review is purely for their dinner experience. I kinda wish though that they change up the menu more as I recall the menu not changing much each time we visit. The dinner menu is a set 3 course meal where you have to pick an appetizer, main entree, and dessert. The kids have a set 3 course meal to choose from as well. This time I ordered their ahi tuna special, which so happened to be the special over 2 years ago lol! I chose their corn chowder as my appetizer and honestly after the cheesy bread rolls and soup, I was pretty stuffed by the time my entree came. It was still a lot of food, and I only took like 3 bites before o threw in the towel. As for the dessert, I chose the dulce de leche cheesecake, which deviates from the usual Mickey brownie with ice cream that I ordered. I still prefer the brownie now that I've tried both. Ambiance is nice and I actually prefer the outdoor seating because I find the architecture and landscape of the resort so beautiful. Overall a solid Disney dining experience, with large portions all around. Definitely worth trying at least once especially if you're staying at the resort!

They all came with fingerling potatoes, fresh fruit and Malasada donuts. The servers were very attentive and accommodating. The coffee and food were fresh and truly great quality. We made reservations in advance. There's plenty of seating and they can accommodate large groups. We really appreciated the koi pond outside of the restaurant and the live ukulele artist playing 80's songs. The Disney characters made their rounds in the dining room and there's a photo opportunity with Mickey Mouse before being seated. We were greeted by Minnie Mouse, Goofy and Pluto during our breakfast. They are so friendly and provided autographs for my daughter Lauren. Overall. It's reasonably priced for Hawaii and a resort for a unique experience and the food quality above average for the price.
