Tonga Toast | Kona vs. Capt. Cook's

[dis_mike]

Hi Everyone....

I made reservations for Kona Cafe and I plan on getting the Tonga Toast again. I know there was a little bit of controversy when they changed up the bread last year. I've only had it once and it was after the change and I thought it was delicious so no worries there.

I noticed that Captain Cook's offers this as a breakfast quick service option. Has anyone tried it at both locations? Is it the same or is it smaller? I figure there's nothing wrong with saving a few bucks and I can be out a lot quicker and on my way to MK. Kona serves the toast with a breakfast meat (sausage, bacon or ham) and a slice of pineapple along with that strawberry syrup. So it's looking like if you can manage without the meat, slice of fruit and syrup then the QS option is the way to go. I'm guessing that it comes out of the same kitchen anyway.

While Capt. Cooks and Kona Cafe do not share a kitchen, the Tonga toast tastes exactly the same in both locations and to my best estimation is the same size. Since you are aware of the "extras" you get at Kona, if you want to save $ and time get your Tonga Toast at Cook's.

however, when we got it at Capt. Cooke's we weren't able to get the strawberry topping. still good, but I really like the topping. just an FYI. and that may have changed???

The only difference is Capt Cooks doesn't have the strawberry topping.

CC does not have the delicious strawberry compote topping that to me makes the whole dish. Love the compote and syrup together on ours so we prefer to get it at Kona.

Thanks for the feedback. While I do agree that the strawberry compote is quite tasty, I'm more after the banana stuffed french toast.

In December, we stayed at BLT, and one morning we went over to Captain Cook's for Tonga Toast, and I took a squeezy bottle of the strawberry compote I made at home, then just threw the bottle away when I was done. There are recipes on Pinterest, it is super easy.
