Tamu Tamu is one of Animal Kingdom's quick service locations which serves mainly ice cream. However, during the breakfast hour, it also serves a few pastries and a hot sandwich. This spot is located just at the start of Africa, when you head over the bridge, its to the right. Chances are there is a line. We usually stop here for the breakfast sandwich if we are there early, but we have had ice cream here as well. For breakfast, they have a really delicious sausage, egg and cheese biscuit sandwich. This is what my husband and I always go for if stopping in the morning. This park does not offer tons of breakfast options so this spot is always busy. They also offer a Danish and then a pistachio croissant. These are both fine, they are good classic pastries. There is a lot of seating behind the location so you can grab something, sit down and enjoy or take it to go. The sandwiches are made and wrapped in foil in a different location and brought over, but these are still really great. It is warm and the cheese is melty, the sausage is great. This is a solid breakfast stop. For snacks they specialize in ice cream including the classic cups of Dole Whip and then our personal favorite, the pineapple crisp sundae. Pineapple Crisp Sundae: Pineapple Crisp Cake, Vanilla Ice Cream, Pineapple Caramel, Crispy Streusel Topping. We actually tried this for the first time, this past year and now we want it all the time. It was fantastic! My husband does not like sweets, but even he ate some mentioning how great it was. The streusel topping was a great addition to the dessert. They also offer some alcoholic offerings, even in the morning. They have a few desserts with rum floaters and a coffee with Amarula Cream Liquer. Overall this is a great stop if you want breakfast or if you want something sweet. I definitely recommend coming here, you will not be disappointed. read more

Tamu Tamu is a quick service location in Animal Kingdom. It serves mainly ice cream but at breakfast it also offers a couple of items. This spot is located at the start of Africa off to the right when you first cross the bridge. There is always a line. We have had breakfast and snacks here and everything is good. For breakfast, we recently stopped here. They have a really delicious sausage, egg and cheese biscuit sandwich. My wife and I usually prefer to get this. Breakfast can be really tough in the park and this might be the only option for a quick grab and go. There is the Starbucks location but it serves the same items that we can get at our local Starbucks. For breakfast they also have a Danish, which my wife has tried and said it was ok. The breakfast sandwich is much better! For snacks they specialize in ice cream. They have classic cups of Dole Whip and then our favorite, the pineapple crisp sundae. Pineapple Crisp Sundae: Pineapple Crisp Cake, Vanilla Ice Cream, Pineapple Caramel, Crispy Streusel Topping. We had this for the first time this year and it was fantastic. I am not even a fan of sweets but wow, this was really good. The streusel really adds to the dessert. There is also some alcoholic offerings with some of the desserts having rum floaters and a coffee with Amarula Cream Liquer. Overall this is a great stop if you want breakfast or if you want something sweet. I definitely recommend it! ACES! read more

Tamu Tamu Refreshments is a delightful little treat stop tucked into Harambe Village--it's the perfect quick stop to refresh and recharge during a busy day in Animal Kingdom. I ordered the Simba Sunset, and wow, what a treat! It's a Pineapple Dole Whip crowned with bright red syrup that bursts with hints of strawberry, watermelon, and coconut--bright, sweet, and incredibly refreshing. The portion was huge and easy to enjoy while wandering the park. The snack options here may be limited, but the quality and execution make every visit feel worthwhile. If you're exploring Animal Kingdom and craving something sweet, Tamu Tamu has all of the dole whip goods. read more

This quick service walk up stand is a great refreshing spot that can be hard to spot and easy to miss. They have breakfast options including the colossal Mickey cinnamon roll and a breakfast sandwich along with refreshments like dole whip and the dole whip floats. Found myself in Africa twice today to which we stopped both times! In the morning around 9:30am we got the honey pistachio croissant which was very good, however for some reason I thought it would be filled with pistachio or something. Unfortunately it was just dusted with some regular pistachios on top. Don't get me wrong, it was still very good though! Super flaky on the outside and very buttery and delicious on the inside. After Kilimanjaro safari at around 1:30, we got a little early afternoon pick me up and got the dole whip to share amongst the three of us. I really do think they give you more here than they do at aloha isle in Magic Kingdom. If you notice the dole whip serving in Magic Kingdom, it's actually hollow on the inside which makes it appear to be larger, but here it's not! So refreshing and delicious as always. Such a Disney snack staple! read more

HAS THE DOLE WHIP RECIPE CHANGED? During our most recent visit to Tamu Tamu, we ordered a Dole Whip Pineapple Orange Soda Float ($6.79) and a Dole Whip Pineapple Cup ($5.79). The very pale colored Dole Whip had no flavor in either the float or the cup. It was if a watered down version of Dole Whip was run through the soft-serve machine.

Is it really a Disney trip if you don't cool down on at least one of your park days with a Dole Whip treat? Tamu Tamu Refreshments is my go to place while in Animal Kingdom. They typically only have the pineapple flavor, but they do have the option to order a 'boozy' version with rum and, at the time of my most recent visit a few weeks ago, they were offering the Pineapple Crisp Sundae. For all my pineapple and fruity dessert lovers, this was divine! It was my first time ordering it, but it definitely won't be my last. I shared it with my husband, although I probably could have easily housed it by myself in that Florida heat and humidity and because it really was that good. The treat is a pineapple cake with pineapple streusel, caramel, and ice cream. The cake was moist and a great texture to complement the rest of the dessert. It wasn't too tart and it wasn't overly sweet. It was perfect. The service was ehh. The girl who rung me up was friendly, but the other CMs handing out the orders were completely disengaged and gossiping the whole time I was waiting for my order. There wasn't even eye contact or response when I thanked them for the order upon pickup. There were about four of us piled up waiting for our orders, so the gossiping was not a good look as the wait times were building up. Other than that, overall positive experience and tasty product. read more

Wanted something to eat in the morning and not much is open before 11am. Stopped by this place. Many drinks available and some snack. I tried the egg sausage and cheese on biscuit. It was ok. I don't like biscuit but couldn't find anything else that I felt I wanted. If you like biscuit, you will like it more then me for sure. It was hot which is nice. I couldn't taste the cheese at all although I did see it. The egg and sausage were ok. My girlfriend tried a savoury snack that I don't recall the name. She liked it. I would say unless you really want a biscuit with all of this, skip this snack. I can't vouch for the drinks and other snacks. read more

Dole whip at Animal Kingdom! I am a huge Dole Whip fan, so I get it whenever I see it. Ordering was quick and easy, it really hit the spot because it was starting to get really hot in the park. It is a smaller portion than if you were getting it at Magic Kingdom, but it's Dole Whip so I can't complain! read more

Dole Whip is a must when visiting Disney! Surprisingly, We didn't see many dole whip shops around the parks so when we saw this one in Animal Kingdom, we had to get it. Even though it wasn't super hot out since we came in January, it was still a refreshing treat. We got the dole whip with coconut rum but you barely taste the alcohol since there was so much of the dole whip. It was the perfect consistency, super creamy and pineapple flavor stood out nicely. read more

We enjoyed a danish, sausage, egg, cheese biscuit, a coffee and dole whip from Tamu Tamu. The service was very friendly and efficient. The space itself and the adjacent eating area were clean and well maintained. The food was average. Nothing exciting but it filled us and allowed us to continue our day. read more

I didn't know I wanted the pineapple crisp sundae until I saw someone walking with it, and had to stop and ask her what it was and where did she get it. I immediately told my family that it was time for a snack and lined up to grab one. We found some seating around the corner and proceeded to devour the dessert. It was so delicious or maybe we're just too hungry?! Whatever it was, we enjoyed it and regret not getting another one before leaving the park. read more

Tamu Tamu Refreshments - You get a HUGEEE portion of it! - Desserts Near Me - Lake Buena Vista, Florida

Maybe it's just me (or the weather) but these dole whips lasted maybe 2 minutes before they melted like butter in the sun. Walking up to Tamu Tamu the honey and I decided to order a couple whips (his with alcohol, mine regular ole child friendly) but the alcohol in his was essentially only at the bottom, and both our treats melted so fast they weren't that enjoyable to eat. I'd love to see these served more frozen, based on the fact that Florida runs like 10 degrees hotter than California, but otherwise the service was friendly. While we likely won't be back to Animal Kingdom, I'd say Tamu Tami is a fairly good stop in the otherwise poor food options at this Disney World park. read more

I can't explain it- the dole whip tastes better in Magic Kingdom for me. BUT you can get it with alcohol here which is pretty fun! It does chance the texture a little bit and obviously the taste too lol. I'd classify it as a medium-high priority snack for an adult Disney trip in Animal Kingdom. I've also tried the Simba Sunset which has some other flavors mixed in. Not my favorite. The extra flavor just wasn't necessary- but it did make a great photo! Maybe there isn't anything that can truly top that insanely good, yet simple pineapple soft and creamy treat. I'm truly obsessed with dole whip- and apparently I'm also a minimalist when it comes to enjoying it. This snack stand is in a great location- just far enough away from the entrance where you're going to start feeling hungry for a snack. The line is always pretty long when I've been, but when you want some amazing dole whip- you know it's worth the wait! read more

Tamu Tamu Refreshments - a hand holding a plastic cup of tamu refreshments - Desserts Near Me - Lake Buena Vista, Florida

This is a great place to stop for drinks and people watching. Great bar service and even better drinks.

Came here during my first visit to Animal Kingdom and because I really wanted dole whip. Prices are reasonable and I like how they have options for those who may want alcoholic versions. I tried Simba Sunset because the syrups is not something we have at Disneyland. Honestly, could've done without the syrup because it was a bit too much as it all ended up at the bottom. I was most disappointed by how melted it was when I got it. I thought it was just mine but realized that every person after me also had the same issue. Mine was so bad, everything was spilling so I had to work fast My friend got the brownie and icecream and I thought it was alright. It came with a scoop of icecream, a brownie and two small cookies. read more

After getting into the park and beelining it for Flights of Passage to beat the crowd, we had a late breakfast here. The line moved pretty quickly and while my wife made our orders, I found a seat around the corner in a covered alcove. This was a great place to sit in the shade and enjoy it, so get your food and go either around the corner from the line or right down the wall. Either has an entrance into this shady spot. The Pistachio Croissant was ok, I hear. It was not overly sweet and was pretty light and bready. The Mickey Cinnamon Roll was pretty good, though. Topped off with an Irish coffee, a good start to our day! read more

I usually come to Animal Kingdom with family and friends to ride rides. This morning came to Animal Kingdom so for the Safari Amber beer. When I arrived at the restaurant. I was informed that the safari Amber beer keg was locked. Also, the key was broken off in it and could not be open. This was an inconvenience for me because I love that beer. Come on Disney if something is broken fix it immediately so we're not inconvenienced. read more

Stopped by Tamu Tamu Refreshments after riding the Safari for a quick refreshment. We got the Simba Sunset - Dole Whip Pineapple with Watermelon Strawberry, and coconut flavored Syrup. Surprisingly, couldn't taste the coconut flavored syrup. Lucky for my husband because he's not a coconut fan but I was disappointed. Overall, would give the Simba Sunset a 6/10. It wasn't as tasty as I thought it would be, but it was a good value for what you get being that it was only $5.49. For $4.50 more, you can add Coconut Rum to it - *The King's Cooler*. read more

Absolute best place to get Dole Whip while in Animal Kingdom. They previously had a sour apple scar Dole Whip however last week that was not on the menu and it was all Apple cider and fall choices. Still, the only place you can grab a fresh dole whip in this park. Staff is really friendly and this is along the walkway in Africa. read more

It was a pretty warm day, so I got in line here where I ordered the Simba Sunset. It was Dole Whip pineapple with watermelon, strawberry, and coconut flavored syrup. Why ruin a good thing with syrup? Next time, I'll just stick to the Dole Whip! If you're needing some alcohol, you can get beer as well as alcoholic versions of the dessert/snack items by adding Plantation Dark Rum or Parrot Bay Coconut Rum. read more

We stopped in this little pickup line to get some Dole Whip and decided on Simba's Sunset. It's Pineapple Dole Whip with a watermelon, strawberry and coconut flavored syrup on it. Kind of deceiving because I thought it would be three different syrups to choose from but it's al three flavors in one. The Dole Whip here is very light and airy compared the other Pineapple Dole Whips throughout the parks and it melts super quickly. I'm sure that's why they serve it in a bigger cup for the same price. There are other treats available at this window but we didn't try anything else because that was the only plant-based option. Also, mobile ordering wasn't available for some reason, which I think it should usually be. Overall, I wasn't really satisfied with this treat but I'm glad I tried it. read more

Fast place to get your dole whip with some extra pizazz. We got the Simba sunset: pineapple dole whip with watermelon, strawberry, and coconut syrup. It's a large portion and the syrups make it feel more tropical. I prefer this over the regular Dole Whip which is too plain to me. I wish you could taste the coconut a little more, especially for the price. read more

This is THE place to get your Dole Whip with coconut rum!!! I personally am not a big fan of Dole Whips. If you've never had one, it's like pineapple flavored frozen yogurt. I could take it or leave it really, but ice cream with coconut rum on it is too good to pass up! This is basically just a counter to order from, so no tables and chairs. And it will melt on your hand in the heat, so grab some napkins! It's right near the Lion King show, if you want to grab one before you stand in line to head in there. It's also on the way to Kilamanjaro Safari, so you can eat/drink it while you wait in line. read more

Inside Animal Kingdom at WDW i there are a few places that sell the infamous Doke Whip. BF and i never had Dole Whip before so we decided to have one today for the first time.

I cannot thank these two workers for serving us early in the morning while it absolutely down poured in Animal Kingdom. For breakfast my boyfriend and I shared the 50th anniversary Mickey Cinnamon Roll and the Pineapple Dole Whip. I thought the cinnamon role was so sweet being covered completely in maple syrup and blue frosting. It was the perfect treat in the morning to get your day started! I've heard many people rave about the pineapple Dole whip and how I have to try it. I'm not a huge fan of pineapple but did enjoy how it was like soft serve ice cream. My boyfriend definitely enjoyed it and understand what's everyone is talking about. I would highly recommend this place if you are walking through Africa! read more

Tamu Tamu is a great place for desserts. The selection is small: ice cream, ice cream sandwiches, waffle sundae, dole whip ice cream and drinks. We tried the chocolate waffle sundae. We were initially confused what it was. Initially I thought it was waffle cone, but it is just what it is a chocolate waffle with ice cream on top. At first bite the waffle is soft and the flavor of the waffle is good. I like that they use real vanilla ice cream instead of soft serve. This snack is great to try almost as good as the beignet sundae I tried at Port Orleans. This is a great place to try if your looking for some good desserts. read more

Tamu Tamu Refreshments is another great place to find Dole Whip when outside the Magic Kingdom. The snack stop offers a few different flavors of Dole Whip including the traditional, Simba Sunset (strawberry, watermelon, and coconut syrup), and alcoholic versions of the previously mentioned flavors. I went for the Simba Sunset (I love coconut). I went into this with the concern that it might be overly sweet and too much to handle in one treat. This was not the case at all. I was pleased with the overall flavor profile and would absolutely order this again when visiting Animal Kingdom. If this is your first adventure into the world of Dole Whip I would still recommend going with an original Dole Whip prior to branching out into the various flavors. Never be afraid to order both and share with your family to get the best that both have to offer! read more

Great location near the safaris and the dawa bar. Today we tried the Mickey brownie and let me tell you Mickey Mouse has never been more delicious. Seriously the cookie ears and brownie are so good, as is the ice cream. Also, not only do they have dole whip, but they will also add rum to it.... The only downside is it's garbage coconut rum. Years ago they had Plantation Dark Rum and that was pretty legit. Do the right thing Tamu Tamu, bring back the Plantation Rum. read more
