Review of Ulu Cafe

We ordered with staff and the manager was involved so we felt better. They assured us that they have a toaster that is shared but they cover it was foil and take precautions to make sure it doesn't touch other items.

We ordered the bbq pork kalua flatbread and the veggie/spinach flatbread for lunch one day. They took forever to come out of the oven but it was worth it and no one got sick. They tasted good and were flagged for allergies.

We stayed at Aulani and visited Ulu Cafe each morning for breakfast. We were a bit disappointed as we read reviews and thought there were more options, but my husband didn't feel comfortable eating off buffet. The Cafe Server said they can make GF bagel but use the same toaster and place some sort of barrier to protect from cross contamination, but my husband didn't want to risk it. We did find a chia seed coconut milk fruit parfait and it was delicious. We ate one each morning and added a bit of extra fruit we bought from outside the resort. He had no reaction. We also purchased 2 salads, the Caprese and Greek Salad from the Grab n Go coolers and no reaction to either item. They had one packaged Udi's Choc muffin but not many other options besides precut fruit and chips. The prepackaged salads and coconut milk parfait was safe and no reaction. Salads were $13 and same with parfait. A little over priced for amount you get, but expected at the resort. My husband also tried the Dole Whip and had non reaction. We would try it all again!
