Had salads here, a large pizza and chicken fingers during our stay. All the food was tasty and as advertised. The pricing was on par with other Disney resorts and most of Hawaii is super expensive regardless. The refillable mugs for our stay were worth the money and a souvenir to take home. Definitely recommend if you’re staying at Aulani.

Ate here multiple times for breakfast and lunch. Highly recommend the salmon bagel for breakfast and the tuna poke for lunch. My son also tried the French toast platter and said it was really good. Food seems fresh and cooked to order. The tuna is so soft it almost melts in your mouth and it is served over perfectly cooked sticky rice- they give you a decent sized portion so my husband and I shared it for lunch.

For a fast walk up and order cafe this is the spot. They serve breakfast until 10:45 and then lunch food from then on. The cups in my photos are 34 for the metal ones and 22 for the plastic one. But you get free refills of soda, hot chocolate, tea and coffee the whole time of your stay. And if you bring them back the next time you come you can still use them! But these as soon as you get here the drinks add up quickly!!!

Ulu Cafe is where you'll find Aulani's refillable cups. They have three machines outside that you can use throughout your stay. There is other machines around the resorts one near Lava Shack and behind 'Ama' Ama. Ate here multiple times during our stay (had breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks). If you order from the menu, it is made to order. They have grab-and-go items as well. Here you can get Mickey-shaped cookies, marshmallows, brownies, musubis, and more.

The surprise of the trip was how great this cafe was for quick delicious food. We ate lunch and dinner here. Purchased treats and snacks throughout the day. Poke bowls great! Try one. Be there at 11 am for the Mickey spam musubi. Don’t knock it until you try it. The macadamia nut crusted fish with curry sauce was the winner of the best meal. Brought it back to the room and enjoyed the meal.

We love ordering food from Ulu Cafe. They have new designs for their refillable mugs. We have tried their pizzas, breakfast croissant sandwich, French toast breakfast, bacon flatbread, and of course their Mickey cookies. We ordered and paid with the cashier and waited outside for our food. The staff is friendly. There is a wait but it’s not too bad. The kalua flatbread was our favorite but we did not see it on the menu. We enjoyed everything and will be back again.

They have gluten free items and the staff was very helpful. They do not have a dedicated gluten free fryer here so there is a risk of cross communication.

I really love the Ulu Cafe! They have amazing gluten free options which is such a treat as being a celiac can be hard to eat sometimes. Disney is really really good at making sure there is no cross contamination! During my stay I had margehrita flatbread, an italian sandwich, lots of popcorn and a huge breakfast platter with eggs, potatoes and sausage!
