    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.

The most creamiest pistachio filling with kataifi inside the soft pillowy dough. Also picked up a Haupia n' a Bavarian filled Malasada + an Original, Ube, n' Mango Mochi Malasada. Although the Dubai Chocolate is the best, if I may suggest!" SERVICE: friendly INTERIOR: lots of products, food, etc. EXTERIOR: bathrooms available on the side, ask clerk for code WAIT TIME: none PARKING: small lot that is usually full OVERALL COMMENTS: came specifically for the Dubai chocolate malasadas n' they did not disappoint. I've had various Dubai chocolate treats from many places but this by far had the creamiest filling, which meant they did not skip out on the pistachio cream. The malasada was soft n' very much coated with sugar. I also really like the mango mochi malasada. The Ube mochi malasada ended up being really hard, must've been over fried. Would definitely get the Dubai chocolate malasadas again if I end up back at the store!

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!

    This was our second time here. I believe after covid it changed. The food is brought to table, and…read morethe malasadas were my favorite part. The best on island, better than Leonard's in my opinion. The dough was so soft and bread was sweet, no toughness at all. The food was good, my daughter had waffles, a drink, malasada and fruit that came with her meal. She was so happy and so was I. The characters are great with interaction. I noticed them interacting with everyone, not just the standard hi and bye but went above and beyond to make experiences at each table. They made us feel special. There was live music, she also interacted with the crowd and her singing just elevated the entire experience. This place is not only for food, but to experience the Disney magic and I definitely felt that here. A must if you're staying at Aulani.

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!

That Malasada pancake is so ono! ​Because balance is key to survival, we always flank the sweet pancakes with an army of savory options - specifically the chicken fried steak, smoked meat, or a Benedict. Guarantee it's a flawless strategy that guarantees you will not need to look at food again until dinner time. ​ I panicked a little when management changed earlier this year but the transition was seamless. They added new goodies but kept the classics exactly the same. ​ Everyone here is fantastic, but Krystal is the undisputed MVP. She keeps the coffee flowing and manages to navigate our table even when we are deep in a pancake-induced trance. Go here immediately, just plan to nap right after.

At around almost 40 minutes after, my boyfriend received a text message saying he was no longer on the wait list. So he decided to walk up to the hostess and ask if our table was ready. Hostess said, I'm sorry I don't have you on our wait list. She asked if it was 2 adults and one child, and he said no as it was under the same name. She just said, it might have been someone on the inside that took us out of the wait list. She said sorry and my boyfriend said nevermind, we'll just go somewhere else. I asked if we could go back on the wait list, but she said yes, but you'd have to wait again and thought it wasn't worth it. She said Happy Father's Day to us. I said Thank you.

We were looking forward to trying the pancakes and other dishes that got great reviews.

First, this spot is located on the corner of Ho'omohala and Nana Hope street near the Ho'opili community. Btw, this area blew up! Such a family friendly and cute neighborhood! Second, there is no designated parking for this coffee shop so you will have to find somewhere on the street to park. Beware, there are nparking signs across the street that indicate "No parking " so be sure to pay attention to signs. They tow! Third, the service was slow because there are only two baristas who worked as efficiently as they could so I wouldn't come here if you're in a rush to go somewhere. I ordered a large, French toast hot latte and their breakfast burrito that came with a small container of salsa. Everything was delish and believe that nothing went to waste after the calories I burned at the gym. Hehe. The French Toast latte brought back memories and felt like I was holding the season of Fall in a cup of:) Definitely recommend that you check it out if you're a coffee fan.
