Are ADR's necessary for KONA breakfast

[Jessica Meier]

I soooooo want to try the TONGA toast. However, not sure I can talk everyone else into going there for a large breakfast. We are planning on Aukerhouse one morning so not sure I can talk them into another TS breakfast. So are ADR's an absolute must?

Really depends on the day and the time of year that you're going. How many people will be in your party?

 

[Jessica Meier]

We are headed in mid September...and so far there is 5 total, but there may be as many as 8.

 

[Epcotfan21]

Yea, you should definitely make a reservation, unless you get up early one morning on a weekday and put your name on the list.

 

[Jessica Meier]

We are almost always early risers. But thinking maybe an ADR might be called for anyways.

You can also get Tonga Toast at the CS location, Captain Cooke's.
Added bonus, Dole Whip self-serve.

Is it as good as it is at Kona though?

 

[olinecoach61]

You probably should just to be safe although we have walked up at both breakfast and dinner. And it's also true that captain cooks sells the tonga toast too.

Pretty darn close if not the same.

Does it have the strawberry compote?

I would definitely make ADRs for Kona Cafe! You will not be sorry, the tonga toast is amazing!

I looked on allears.net menu from Captain Cook's and it doesn't say if the strawberry compote comes with it. It is listed on the Kona Cafe menu though! It's good either way

No strawberry compote at Captaine Cooke's last time I was there, but the Tonga Toast was the same.
You didn't mention when you were traveling, but I have secured ADR's for a party of 6 for Kona two days out, while at WDW during Free Dining.
If you are determined to eat at Kona, I'm not sure if I would take the chance and forego the ADR.

in my experience, kona has never been filled to capacity for breakfast, although i've never been there peak season. but then you are not going peak season, odds are you can walk in. and no....there is no strawberry compote at captain cooke's- makes all the difference to me

I would make the ADR's. It's a great breakfast. I love the pineapple macadamia pancakes as well as the tonga toast. Kona is a great breakfast!

 

[JillC LI]

I'd make ADRs. It's not worth risking this treasure of a breakfast restaurant! And to potentially miss the strawberry compote? Sacrilege!

no, the strawberry compote doesnt come with it at Captain Cooks, but mid Sept, I really wouldn't chance not having an ADR, but, if you dont get the chance to make an ADR, ask the Concierge desk at your resort to check for availability
