The Best Brews at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort: A Coffee Guide

Most guests have a favorite coffee spot at Disney. For many, that spot is a small coffee stand that serves a Hawaiian blend at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Who doesn’t like to start their day with a friendly Aloha served alongside a cup of joe?

As we continue our search for coffee among the resorts, we’ll stop in to check out the brews at the Polynesian. It is truly one of the best resorts when it comes to the popular caffeinated beverage.

Kona Cafe

Kona Cafe is the resort’s primary table service restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s on the second floor of the Great Ceremonial House. This is an excellent place to order the Hawaiian Kona Press Pot if you’re looking to enjoy a sit-down meal. Since this is a table service restaurant you will need reservations. However, they do take walk-ups based on availability.

‘Ohana

‘Ohana is the resort’s character dining location. Characters are only available at breakfast. At night, the restaurant serves a family-style meal with Polynesian favorites. Here are the coffee selection available at breakfast:

• Kona Sourced Coffee Press Pot: Kona, Hawaii, is one of the most fertile coffee-growing regions. The combination of fertile soil and mild mountain climate produces one of the richest coffees in the world. 100% Kona Coffee by Joffrey’s Coffee French Press Pot (serves two)

• Cold Brew Martini (SelvaRey Chocolate Rum, Tia Maria Coffee Liqueur, Joffrey’s Coffee Cold Brew)

Oasis Pool Bar and the Barefoot Pool Bar

Coffee is available at both the resort’s pool bars. The Seven Seas coffee cocktail listed below is named after Seven Seas Lagoon and I believe it is exclusive to the Polynesian.

• Joffrey’s Coffee Cold Brew French Roast (Available in unsweetened French Roast and Shakin’ Jamaican)

• Seven Seas Salted Caramel (Pau Maui Handmade Vodka, Kahlúa Coffee Liqueur, and Caramel garnished with a Caramel Chew)

You can order freshly brewed Joffrey’s regular or decaf coffee at this pool bar. If you have a Rapid Fill mug, you can refill it with coffee at the nearby beverage refill station. We have pictures of the resort’s refill stations in this separate article.

Other Options

If these coffee options weren’t enough, you can always walk next door to the TTC (Transportation and Ticket Center) to the Joffrey’s Coffee Stand. The picture below shows the stand between the Ferryboat and resort monorail entrance. We have a separate article that details the walking path between the Poly and the TTC.

Additionally, all four theme parks have a Starbucks and multiple Joffrey’s locations. Valid admission is required to enter a park.
