    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.

You will spend more than the average to eat here, but I believe you get more than just the food/drink, you get the atmosphere as well. One thing I will say that not too many people know about, is that they have a kids menu! Every choice on there is $10 each. When I do end up bringing my babies on Bible study nights, I order them the sausage, eggs, and rice plate or the nuggets. Portions are great, enough to feed an adult, let alone a child. On average for a date, you'd pay about $80-$100 total depending what you order. But it's worth it and it's not an everyday thing. Also check out the shaved ice and ice cream! I haven't tried it just yet, but I heard it's pretty good.

Their Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad is my absolute go-to every single time--so fresh and consistently delicious. If you're craving something heartier, the Wagyu Burger is another absolute must-have. To wash it all down, they have a wide array of coffee and teas, but you have to try their Vintage Kona Mocha--it's amazing. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that all of it can get pretty pricey, and it definitely gets super busy and crowded on the weekends. But for the flavor and drink selection, it's still worth the wait!

Which I guess is a good thing. The pizza is only okay. One day, Disney will figure out pizza, but this was not that day. It's fine. It's serviceable. But I don't see it making anyone's top 10. I'm sure kids won't complain though. Their fresh made bowls are where it's at though! During my stay, I tried one of each: poke, noodle, and açai. Each one was super fresh, very filling, and delicious. I would definitely order each again! Beware the "hot" chicken & avocado salad sandwich! It's not "hot" like "Nashville hot," but temperature hot! It's just not what we were expecting. The texture was odd as well. I kind of liked it all that said, but just know what you're getting into. The ice machine wasn't working one day, which was also strange, and waiting on your food can take 15 minutes sometimes. The bowls are made right in front of you so they're much faster. And there are takeaway sandwiches and salads too. So it doesn't have to take long to get your meal. There are a handful of picnic-sized benches, and most of the traffic is to-go orders. But it's comfortable enough to eat there. We never had a problem finding or sharing a spot. Overall, it's a solid option with a limited menu and freshly made food. Good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

We came at 7am which was so nice because it wasn't crowded. We got some extra time with Mickey Mouse in the beginning and since it wasn't crowded, the characters visited our table 2-3 times. The food was great too! We loved the donuts, omelets, lox and bagels, and gluten free minnie mouse waffles! They were SO kind in having gluten free options (gluten free waffles, fruit, gluten free muffins). The gluten free food was delicious. We all loved our food and we really had a great time! Beautiful view and environment too! Dinner- This was absolutely the best dinner we had during our trip. It's a 3 course meal and you get to choose off of the menu. I got the corn chowder, prime rib, and pineapple dessert. My date got the tomato soup, seared ahi, and pineapple dessert. All of the food was amazingggg! We also LOVED our drinks we ordered. We ordered an old fashioned and then our sweet server had the bar whip me up a custom drink! Both were so good! For both meals, the service was amaaaazing!

The service is outstanding and we are so happy and blessed to be here! We were able to greet Mickey & Minnie, Goofy and Stitch at breakfast! We enjoyed macadamia nut pancakes with sweet syrup sauce; Mickey waffles and bacon; a farmer's omelet and potatoes - we had huge portions and the price for 4 (2 kids and 2 adults) was really good for all the food, the live music and the character visits over and over to our table! I also note that we didn't not attend the Luau this trip - which costs $200-$300+ per person (at Aulani). We opted to skip because we've been before and figured we would wait some before taking the kids - a little bit older for the best age to really fully enjoy that aspect of the show. You can get all the pictures with your personal camera/phone/device but know that the character breakfast photos by the photo folks with Mickey are not included - they will offer a $45 photo package to include and featured photo in the cardboard decorated photo frame and a photo pass card representing all the photos taken with Mickey as a family and as individuals at the featured photo session with Mickey during the (breakfast) character meal experience. We made our appointment for the first of the day and joined breakfast at 7am. We were first in line and first for the day - we enjoyed that personally because it was a great time with no crowds and we were able to start the day early and get on to having (more) fun!
