Their drink menu ranges from lemonades, fruity drinks, matcha lattes and coffee drinks. Now, as a coffee lover, woooo.... it's really on the sweet side. I usually get stronger lattes that are not that sweet in the Irvine location but this location, it is leaning on dessert drink side. I had the special Pompurrin sea salt cold brew and I was buzzing off the sugar. There is a Sanrio store next door so the merchandise will not be in the counter. The counter is soley for food and drink so you wouldn't have to buy it from the counter like you do in the Irvine location. Recap: you get what you see which is all the cuteness and the sweet treats. This location does not have the tea lounge experience and it is more of an order-and-pickup situation.

Came here twice because I'm a huge One Piece fan, and both visits were great experiences for…read moredifferent reasons. The first time was back in May with a friend during a special event that had a costumed character and a pretty long line outside. I also came back recently to try their limited-time Captain Buggy dessert and stopped by about an hour before closing. The atmosphere is easily one of the biggest reasons to come here. The entire inside is decorated to look like the interior of a pirate ship, and the walls are covered with the characters' wanted posters. If you're a One Piece fan, there's a lot to look at and it definitely makes the experience more fun. Service was great both times. During the first visit, there was a long line because of the event, but the staff were still really friendly and helpful despite the crowd. The second time I came in right before closing, and the staff were still welcoming and didn't make us feel rushed. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the food and drinks. The first visit we ordered the matcha horchata, onigiri, katsu sandwich, and fried rice. Everything was better than I expected, especially considering this is more of a themed cafe experience. On my second visit, I got Captain Buggy's Carnival Crunch dessert, which actually tasted better than I was expecting! You'd think the fried PB&J uncrustable covered in fruity pebbles and topped with vanilla ice cream and sprinkles would be overwhelming, but surprisingly the flavors and textures went really well together! I'd honestly get it again. Overall, I really enjoyed both visits. The prices are pretty standard for an LA restaurant, so I didn't have any complaints there. Obviously, the biggest appeal is being a One Piece fan, but even beyond the theme, the food was solid and the staff were great. Definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of the series, especially when they have special events or limited-time menu items. I'll probably be coming back here next time I'm in the area just to embrace my inner otaku.

Went over here about a month ago and ordered the Zoro's Matcha Horchata…read more "Trendy" i said in my head "Regretful" I thought even before my first swig $8 and you get some green sludge from a milk bottle. You would assume baristas would put a little more work into it, especially with how they try to reimagine drinks, but this aint not Rum and Coke. Bruh give me something, not some thick floury boogers, this was pure slop * I want to emphasize that when I received my drink it was not drinkable and it made me sick to my stomach. This was floury, slimey and overly sweet, it overpowered the matcha flavor and was by far my worst experience at any cafe. LA is filled with shit holes such as this one. Cool ambiance, mid low and effort drinks

Ambiance is calm and peaceful and cute decor fills the place, starting with three big ole bear dolls sitting on a swing on the front window display. Would come back just to try more flavors! We got oreo, biscoff, hershey's chocolate, and blueberry cookies. They are just the right sweet, not too sweet and still flavorful. It's what makes the cookie eatable in bulk I say! Also got the Americano, it's very light which I love. The straw is a pink heart shape, so soo cute.

Baby one thing about Toadstool Cafe is that they are NOT letting you in without a reservation. They…read moreguard that door like it's Bowser's secret lair chile! So make sure you get on the Universal app as soon as you know you're coming. I got there around 7:45ish and was able to score a same day reservation for me and my friend for 2 PM. Once you go inside, you wait in line to order, but they have menus available so you can look everything over and decide what you want while you wait. After fawning over a few choices, we asked the man ringing us up what he thought the best items were. He recommended the Fire Flower Spaghetti & Meatballs, Luigi Burger, and ? Block Tiramisu. So we each got one of the recommended entrées, split the dessert, and added some Toadstool Cheesy Garlic Knots because we were in a silly goofy mood. After ordering, they give you a table number and you find a seat in the large dining area. We didn't wait long for our food at all, maybe 10 to 15 minutes max. I really enjoyed my food, and my friend said he enjoyed his Luigi Burger as well. Was it the pinnacle of culinary perfection? No. But it was still pretty good for amusement park food and definitely better than a lot of food I've had at other amusement parks over the years. The theming and presentation also make the experience that much more fun. The ? Block Tiramisu was the star of the entire meal for me. The sugar cookie panels that make up the Question Block were SO good with the tiramisu inside. I would absolutely get that again. All in all, I definitely say add Toadstool Cafe to your Super Nintendo World itinerary if you can score a reservation. The food was good, the presentation was adorable, and it's one of those experiences that really adds to being inside the world of Mario.

I really wanted to like Toadstool Cafe, but the experience was honestly pretty frustrating,…read moreespecially considering the price and the fact that this is at Universal Studios. The cafe is reservation-only, and you have to sign up ahead of time. There's also a maximum of six people per reservation, but our party had seven. That meant we had to have two different people make reservations--one for three and another for four--which was already an unnecessary hassle. Once our reservation time came, we were let inside, only to wait 20 minutes in line just to order. So what exactly is the point of having reservations if they're still allowing the restaurant to get so backed up? It felt like they were over capacity anyway. The food itself is probably some of the best food you can get inside the theme park, and the prices are about what you'd expect from a theme park. We were also seated pretty quickly, which was nice. Unfortunately, that's where the good service ended. They forgot two of our orders, and we ended up waiting around 40 minutes while the other five people in our party had already finished eating. We eventually had to flag down a server to ask about our food, and somehow, it was brought out within a minute. So the food was clearly ready or easily accessible--they had just completely forgotten about our order. That 40-minute wait was such a waste of our time. We were at Universal Studios and could have been using that time to enjoy the park or go on other rides instead of just sitting there waiting for food. On top of that, the servers/waiters didn't have the friendliest attitudes, which made the experience even more disappointing. I'd say go once for the experience, especially if you want the cute Super Mario atmosphere and pictures, but don't go in expecting great service. For the price you're paying, I honestly expected a lot more from Universal. If takeout were an option, I would probably choose that instead.

This is a nice Friends-themed cafe which is a pit stop made during the Warner Brothers Studio Tour,…read morebefore viewing one of the exhibits. It's definitely a tourist trap, but if you're a Friends fiend, this is the place for you. There's plenty of photo-ops - Joey and Chandler's apartment with the foosball table and BarcaLoungers, the Central Perk bar and couches, and Monica's kitchen. There's also a gift shop which had surprisingly reasonably priced items. The cafe itself has grab-and-go items as well as hot food items like pizza for sale. They have drinks named after the characters, but everything is pricey (tourist trap alert). I'm not a coffee drinker, but I had to partake in the "Central Perk" rite of passage, so I ordered the chocolate ice-blend drink (~$8 after tax), which is a pretty steep price for a drink that's essentially chocolate milk. For some reason, my order got lost in their system, so I was waiting and waiting for my name to be called. After approaching the counter and asking, they made it right away. They don't serve the drinks in the signature large coffee cups (but the cups are available at the gift shop), so I'd say you can skip the overpriced coffee and go straight for the photo ops (which are free/included in the price of admission).

Excellent customer service as our wait was only a few minutes wait. Enjoyed the refreshing Super Mushroom Fizz lemon lime soda with strawberry popping pearls at the bottom. It also came with a dissolving strawberry flavored "Super Mushroom Power Up" candy. It's was yummy. As for the Fire Flower Pretzel, we received it fresh from the oven. It was soft and went well with the Chipotle Cheese, Mustard and White Queso dipping sauces. Can't wait to come back to try the other Super Mushroom Fizz flavors.

I've been to universal studios plenty of times but always missed going to this place. It is a wonderful place to frequent if you have the time and have a season pass like I did. The food ordered were the 1-up green mushroom hot pocket vegetarian. It actually tastes like this hot pocket microwaveable pizzas you would otherwise get at the grocery store. But, the design, look and uniqueness of the food was delicious looking. I also ordered a pretzel with three sauces. This item was their best deal for a snack as it was about $10 and with the discounted season pass about $8 or so. It was cheaper than the mushrooms and drinks here. Also less fattening and less unnatural ingredients. I thought service was average and to be fair, isn't a pleasant job. The ambiance is cute and nice to look at. Great interior and exterior design throughout. The overall appeal and decoration were spectacular more or less. Good meal to have to keep you from getting lightheaded in this heat. For some reason, always crowded with tourists and locals. The lines even on a Friday morning were ridiculous. However, the lines even for this place was sort of okay. I rate the following below: 1-up mushroom 3/5, it was a unique looking hot pocket more or less Pretzel with dipping sauce 4/5, better value better taste simple and came with three decent sauces to overcome this bland taste by itself of a pretzel. There wasn't even salt on the pretzel. It was bready, but the sauces were great. Good comeback to bland. I would come back just to get the pretzel for its value and the three sauces that make up for the blandness the pretzel had anyway. It tasted fine texture wise, not too hard and not too soft.

FREE PARKING lot included, with additional parking behind the building. It's not busy in the mornings but can get packed on the weekends/afternoons. Last but not least! They usually have lactose-free milk in addition to nut milk alternatives so thats a huge bonus for me.
