Kona Island

My husband and I stopped here for a quick breakfast since we had an 8:00 tour in the Magic Kingdom. It is set up as a grab and go with tables nearby or if you want you can sit in any of the lounge chairs.I had the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant while my husband helped himself to one of their pastries. The croissant was fair. However, they do sell Kona Coffee here which is indeed worth a visit. As a matter of fact if you purchase a bag of Kona coffee from the Moana mercantile, they will grind your coffee purchase here for free.Kona Island opens at 6:30 which is perfect if you need to catch the Polynesian Village monorail nearby to head to the theme parks. Most of the other establishments open at 7 which doesn't give you much wiggle room.Still this place fit the bill for a quick breakfast so we could be on time for our tour that day. Located in the Polynesian Village, mobile ordering is available.

Awesome awesome awesome. FromHello all the way till the end of your meal this place will take care of you all the way. Very satisfying to experience

I've been stopping in for a press pot for years. Today is the last time unless they get back to what they were. I had to wait 10 min so I did at the window that somehow only has 2 chairs now. 10 min later I got 2 travel cups to go, never had that happen before. The coffee however, not sure why I had to wait, tastes like it came straight from a drip coffeemaker. They used to be so good, not sure what happened.

I reallllly wish I knew about this little snack/coffee stop sooner. The coffee is excellent and the pastries are equally as good. The line moves along pretty quickly as well. With this being right next to Kona Cafe, it gives the versatility of being able to grab and go instead of waiting and waiting as the cafe can be slow- and really requires a reservation.I chose the almond iced coffee, added my own sugar and all along the backside. I also got the chocolate croissant, TO DIE FOR. A must stop!

This is a small understated coffee bar that people always walk by because the monorail is steps away. Picture this, you've been drinking sucky Florida coffee all week. Your kids want to see characters for breakfast and what they served you is yuckko. If you love coffee, you owe it to yourself to hustle over to the Polynesian hotel and have breakfast at Kona Cafe. No breakfast for you? Didn't your mother tell you it's the most important meal of the day? Fear not weary parent, there's Kona island!I've always known this little tidbit. The first time I ate at Kona Cafe and had the press pot I said, wow! And then the waitress pointed to Kona Island. That was years ago. I always make it a point to have coffee here. Now you don't have to get the $9 press pot even though it's foolish not to, they can serve you a cuppa Kona blend in a single cup if so desired. Kona Island also serves lattes with flavored syrups as well as fresh baked goods. If you're taking advantage of the Disney dining plan, you may use a snack credit for a sticky bun or croissant. As for me? I'm staying this year at the hotel. My wife and adult sons are asleep, I grabbed my Kindle and ordered a fresh pot of Kona. What I can't finish, I have a cup of ice and made my wife a nice iced coffee. That's how you vacation son!Always treat yourself on vacation. If you like to eat candy apples, they're everywhere. They have Starbucks here too but man... If you're a coffee person you owe it to yourself to come here for Kona coffee

Kona Island is a small counter-service stand located adjacent to the Kona Cafe at the Polynesian Resort. In addition to coffee, they serve quick-service pastries as well as sushi and poke bowls. I stopped here twice during my stay at the Poly. Both times I ordered French-press Kona coffee. The coffee was good, it had a smooth, bold flavor. There isn't anything too special about Kona Island which is why it gets a 3 from me. Also I found the service to be a tad slow one of the times I went so, a 3 it is. Their Kona coffee is good which would keep this on my list of finds in WDW. In all honestly though I would only come back here if I was staying at the Poly or hanging out there for a while. If you find yourself in either of these scenarios, I suggest you pull up a stool for some coffee.

During our May 2016 trip we at at Kona Cafe several times and once at the sushi bar because the cafe wait was way too long. You have to be strategic about getting a seat here when it is busy though as people will just swoop in. We managed to secure 4 seats right in front of the sushi chefs and it was so fun. They chatted with us while they made sushi and answered any questions we had. We eat sushi a lot here at home in San Francisco and thought that the sushi was good. I stuck mostly with the vegetarian rolls (as I do at home) and they were delicious. My husband had a variety of rolls and loved them. They made special avocado only rolls for my boys as well as brought potstickers from the main kitchen for us. Eating at Kona is not fast, just be aware of that, but it was a great dining experience. Would go back for sure.

Outstanding sushi - probably the best in DisneyWorld or tied with the California Grill.I really enjoy eating here as it is a walk up countertop sushi bar and I have never seen it full and is a welcome oasis from the usually packed DisneyWorld restaurants.I tried the lava shrimp roll and the combo plate and both were fantastic. As I said, the sushi is super tasty here and very well done. I will gladly return in the future.

My friend and I were resort hopping off the monorail resorts and decided to have dinner here. We wanted to try Kona Cafe but they weren't accepting walk ins, so we found a spot in Kona Island. I ordered the tuna poke bowl as an appetizer, which could have been a meal on it's own and the hamachi tuna roll that had cilantro in it, which gave it a nice crunch and bite. I also ordered a drink but I cant remember what it is called but it was amazing. Service was good but a little slow since they have one person covering the whole area. I would definitely come back and try other items and desserts.

Good sushi with quick service. You can order off menu if you keep it fairly simple (e.g. Spicy tuna).Top tip: get a drink from Trader Sam's and then head upstairs for some sushi because the sushi at Trader Sam's tastes like literally nothing. Good seating for couples or small parties, but not great for larger groups because it's a bar setup. If you have a large group I would recommend reservations at the Kona Cafe.
