    • Kona Cafe Breakfast Review

      Posted at 10:31 am by taryngirl, on October 21, 2020

      January 2020

      I took this quick trip with my cousin Alex. One of the doctors where she works was also going to be in Disney at the same time, and he wanted to meet up for breakfast. We found ourselves at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort at Kona Cafe with a reservation.

      I’ve written about this resort a few times, and I always take this picture! I absolutely love this resort and all it has to offer.

      The theming is my favorite, as I love tropical places. And the restaurants are some of my favorites! The location is also amazing. It’s a quick monorail ride away from Magic Kingdom, and walking distance to TTC to catch a monorail to Epcot.

      We started off sharing the Tropical Fruit Plate $10. This had fresh fruit, boba balls, and some really good kind of honey type drizzle.

      One of us had the French Toast $13. It came with a really good caramel banana sauce and your choice of bacon, sausage or ham. It was standard French toast, but the caramel banana sauce made the dish!

      We also had the Polynesian Egg Platter $16. Also delicious!

      Overall we enjoyed our meal and time together. The prices compared to a quick service location are more. The food quality is a little bit better than counter service. If you want a relaxing atmosphere and have time to sit, try this table service breakfast! If you are in a rush to get to the parks or on more of a budget, skip the table service and go quick service.

      I am writing this post Covid closure. This is from my trip in January! In looking at the current menu, it seems they have taken several things off of the menu for now. Boo! Hopefully they will be back!

      After briefly checking out the Club Level area at the Contemporary Resort, we hopped on the monorail, which is conveniently located right inside the resort, and headed to the Grand Floridian. Our breakfast reservation at the Grand Floridian Cafe was at 9:00 a.m.

      This is the glorious site when you are dropped off from the monorail and head inside the doors to the resort. It’s amazing!

      Looking down into the lobby area

      I wanted to get a glimpse of the new Enchanted Rose Lounge that opened just a few months prior.

      The entrance was roped off, so I couldn’t get inside to take any pictures, but here are a few from outside the rope.

      You can click my link above to check out the details and menu. It’s definitely on the pricier side, with just a few food items available, but lots of beverages.

      From there, we just walked down the steps to the Grand Floridian Cafe. Neither of us had ever eaten here, so it was on our list to check out. The menu was a brunch menu and looked really good!

      I started with a cup of hot tea, and Alex started with coffee.

      They brought her a whole pot, so that was nice!

      Complimentary biscuits with an orange butter were served. They were warm and good.

      Alex ordered the Brioche French Toast–Madagascar vanilla bean scented brioche French toast with bacon–$17

      Fun fact…if you ordered pancakes, waffles, or French toast, you could also order an “add-on.” We chose: Fresh blueberries, granola, lemon curd and blueberry sauce $3.50

      This was a fabulous addition and we were really happy we got it!

      I ordered the Steak and Eggs–sirloin steak, cheesy hash brown casserole, 2 eggs, housemade steak sauce $20

      This was so good! I would definitely order this again. All of it was wonderful.

      Overall, I give this breakfast/brunch a 10/10! I had a reservation set for May, but that trip was canceled due to Covid…and then I made a reservation for August, and that trip was also canceled. I will return! There was too much on the menu I wanted to try.
