Located in Universal Studios Hollywood. You go up to the station and order what's on the board. I ordered the classic grilled cheese and there was a wait fit these the thing that got me was they had tons of the other grilled cheese sandwiches and no classic which is the easiest make among the three choices of grilled cheeses so finally got my sandwich and if that's their idea of a fresh grilled cheese I don't think so the cheese wasn't melted at all the bread was way too toasted to the point of crunchy. The fries were fine and the tomato soup was ok. Overall if the bread was a bit softer and the cheese melted this would be a hit but I doubt I'll get this again. read more

This was a super cute quick service, but it wasn't anything to write home about. We had the pork sandwich. It tasted great but the pork was fatty and hard to eat. It ruined the sandwich because you couldn't just bite into it without pulling all the pork out. If you've ever had a sandwich like that you know how frustrating it is. The plantain chips were really good though. The bathroom was a mess. That's what really knocked this down for me. Not a single stall was working and it wasn't a busy day at the parks. The restaurant was an okay environment and the staff were happy and helpful. A solid 3/5. It's cute and a much needed sit down food option, but I think it was just an off day for them. read more

The newly built Minion Cafe was just in time for Universal Studios's Taste of Universal, yay! It's located right around the corner from the Minion ride and before Funland. The Minion Cafe is built cafeteria style and patrons can either stand on the left or ride side and choose their orders from the menu screen above while the staff prepares it in front of them. Desserts and drinks are right before the cashier stations. Afterwards, patrons will pay at the cashier stations at the end. Due to COVID-19, individually wrapped utensil packages will be given to patrons upon request. COVID-19 Safety Procedures: Face mask and social distancing practiced. There are hand sanitizers at the entrance. Outdoor seating is available and Staffers are wiping down tables after patrons leave. Here's what my friends and I tried: $10 Loaded Tots: Generous portions of crispy Tater Tots topped w/chili & Mozzerella/Cheddar Cheese. I took this home & had this for lunch the next day w/my Krusty Burger, yum!!! $10 Loaded Chicken Nachos: Generous portions topped w/shredded chicken & scoops of guacamole, salsa, sour cream & diced onion & cliantro w/the cheese sauce on the bottom. Both my friend & I were impressed w/how sturdy the Minion tissue paper was since it didn't rip when we were scooping/scraping up the cheese sauce on the bottom. $10 Chicken, Bacon & Ranch Mac 'n' Cheese: Wonderful comfort food & hearty portion of cheesy Mac 'n' Cheese w/shredded chicken & topped w/bacon pieces, ranch powder & panko crumbs. $5 Unicorn Cupcake: Loved it! Aesthetically pleasing w/a rich & moist Funfetti cake batter & creamy, but super sweet unicorn color frosting. $5 Hazelnut Banana Pudding: Another aesthetically pleasing dessert! The hazelnut banana pudding was sweet & delightful, just like those adorable Minions, hehe! Overall, I enjoyed the food here at Minion Cafe the most during the Tasting Event (The Three Broomsticks at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was somewhat limited). Looking forward to dining back here again whenever Universal Studios opens up to the public again. read more

Need a place that is both colorful and full of character? Look no further then the Minion Cafe at Universal Studios Hollywood. They reopened about a year ago after being renamed and revamped. This is my 4 kids go to when we eat at the park. I love the tasty food. Prices are reasonable too. Their deserts are whimsical and sweet. My only reason to take a Star is the lack of healthier choices. Their salad is very basic. The nachos are filling and good portioned. The grilled cheese selection is amazing! The pulled pork is very tasty. The mac and cheese is good but a tad on the salty side. read more

We had the pulled pork grilled cheese, nachos , and a cookie. The pulled pork on a grill cheese was different but actually really good. The banana BBQ sauce was really good and added to that yummy sandwich. The nachos w chicken was big and really good as well. We loved the portion size and they did it right. The 5.99 minion cookie was not very good but looked cute. Overall I recommend trying it. read more

I would say the food is average but I come here to eat if I do not go to the Three Broomsticks when at Universal. The nachos is a decent amount and tasted pretty good for amusement park fare lol. The chicken tenders were not bad and I liked the corn that was paired with it. The float I was a 6/10 for me. I really disliked the banana candy and wish a different taffy candy or something that is easier on the teeth was included instead. I did not like how the lines were set and would be easier if you can just go to the register if you are just buying a drink! read more

The slushee was ok, too sweet for my taste.The chicken nachos were so good. The chicken strips were also crunchy but juicy and flavorful. This place has good food, the lines were not long at all. read more

Ohh just choose something else ;) Preferably walk out of the park to Citiwalk, eat then re-enter. Universal is stuck in the old ways, have a captive audience, give them garbage with poor service, they have no choice. Chips were terrible and stale, fries cold and ohh so disgusting. Ran out of salad and chicken at noon. Only 2 option even remotely close to healthy. We threw most of the "food" away. And the staff was angry and bitter. It was just weird. Not a reflection on the park itself which is superb! read more

Food is literally so yummy, people are nice, and there is ample seating. I had some of the best churros I've ever had here and we absolutely destroyed their nachos. read more

Purchased the grilled cheese and meatball grilled cheese sandwich. It comes with small sandwich, fries, and mini cup of tomato soup. Overall decent for amusement park. However the customer service needs mass improvement. Staff acts as if they don't want to be bothered. read more

10/10 recommend!!! Let me tell you, I am not keen to the idea of dropping money on overpriced food items at theme parks that taste like cardboard. The minion cafe was EXCELLENT!!! I would come to universal just for the food it's so good. The nachos were absolutely delicious with a big portion and the Nutella banana pudding was the perfect treat for my sweet tooth! If you are looking for a good place to eat at universal - GO TO THE MINION CAFE!!! You won't regret it!!! read more

Minion Cafe - Nutella banana pudding - Cafes Near Me - Universal City, California

okay food but the staff is so stingy about the portions ( ex removing an item/ getting it on the side for allergen purposes)

Shortest line since it's at the end and the set up is like ikea ! The Mac and cheese with bacon and chicken was bomb ! We also got the meatball sandwich which was sooo delish. I didn't feel icky afterwards . Def got some good options for adults and kids ! read more

So disappointed, no flavor at all! I'd eat somewhere else. Our whole party didn't like their food.

The place is like a cafeteria type of dining. You go through and pick up the meals you want and pay at the register. I got the pulled pork sandwich and banana pudding. My friends got the loaded nachos. They thought it was a sufficient amount of nachos and give a good amount of topping. My pulled pork really was a grilled cheese with nice soft pulled pork in the middle. I really like the banana pudding. It is basically layers of vanilla wafers, Nutella, banana, and cream. Finding seating for this rest is the most difficult part. read more

Four Grus and Seven Years Ago, I dreamed of a land, yellow and bright, adorned with misshapen yellow little people. My when my dream of the minions was realized, I knew the next step would be to create a place with such delectable cuisine, one might be tempted to Gru all over the place. However, as we all know, some words have multiple meanings. Shortly after consuming the Pork Ramen Bowl, I began to feel a disturbance in the lower nethers of my bowels...it sounded like a chant. "Gru, Gru, Gru, Gru, Gru" I slowly began to accept the disheartening reality: I was about to Gru my pants. As I scouted the Minion Cafe, looking for a place to conduct what can only be described as the second Trinity Test (The Gru-nity Test), I came to a horrific realization. The minions themselves deliberately placed the nearest bathroom 15 Gru-lometers from the cafe. I was doomed. The next thirty seconds, felt like thirty years. I began to throw tables on their sides, constructing a makeshift barricade as to shield onlookers from the corrosive Gru-nado of Gru-man excrement. However, to my complete surprise, no one took cover. One old man, wearing a neon yellow shirt with a unmistakable "G" on the chest came up to me and said: "let the Gru flow through you" It was time. Within seconds, every square Grillimeter of the minion cafe had been unrelentingly Gru-ed on. My job was done. As I awoke, propped up against a 1:1 scale model of Bob, I realized the Pork Ramen Bowl wasn't about having a tasty meal. It was about becoming one with Gru. -Don Johnson, CEG (Chief Executive Gru-er) read more

The main reason we stopped in was for the ice cream float they had. It being hot out, it looked so good and refreshing. Line wasn't horrible, it's what's to be expected. Prices were decent. Also grabbed some nachos which hit the spot read more

Minion Cafe - Banana and blue raspberry floats , chicken nachos in the background - Cafes Near Me - Universal City, California

Sadly, nachos were gross, chicken strips w corn was gross, and gross mac cheese. And The staff at one of the universal stores recommended us here! Was this a sick joke? And 48$ for a bunch of weird dry gross food. So sad. Universal studios should not allow food like this. read more

Came here on a Tuesday, around 7pm for dinner with kids. Their service really sucks and their food is ugh.....someone ordered two ramen before us, and we ordered two ramen, the lady after us orders 3 ramen. The employees took out the ramen and placed it on the pick up table with out saying anything. Ao the lady behind us didn't know and took the 3 ramen. The guy that ordered before us didn't get their ramen at all, as well us us. There was no communication at all whatsoever. On top of that, this lady in pony tail and yellow shirt comes out raising her voice saying "you're suppose to wait for ur ramen on the side and we will call out ramen". But they never called out anything. They just placed it on the table and left. Ooh and the ramen hella sucks. So oily!!! I would not come back. read more

Food is good, service is ok, everyone's eyes are dead like they have no souls, cheer up y'all

Tried the Felonious Float and thought it was good! To be honest, I got it in the morning so it was sweet but I mean of course it would be. It was frozen banana yogurt, blue raspberry slush with some banana topping and blue sugar over whipped cream. The location is very cute and great for any minion lover. read more

It's such a HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE" here at Minion Cafe. We came in here with my wife and daughter we ordered some food and paid for it!! As my daughter walking out of the cafe with her food a staff member of Minion Cafe said WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOIN?? As if my daughter is goin out of there without paying!!! SHAME ON YOU MINION CAFE!! We didn't come here to treat our daughter with disrespect, You just ruined our family day... til you said some nasty word with my daughter Beware with this person She's Black female with long braided hair she's not even friendly specially with the kids.. I don't think you belong here!! You're just ruining the MINION CAFE REPUTATION!!!! FYI.. WE DID'N'T EAT THE FOOD!! WE LOST OUR APPETITE... AND NEVER COMING BACK! read more

The food was greasy and unflavored and the workers were a little rude (understandable considering its in a theme park).

If you're a fan of the minions you may not be a fan of this mediocre minion cafe! If you like a place than can dish out mediocre at best good and customer service, then THIS is the place for you to get all in one visit . First all the food doesn't even look appetizing, the Cesar salad which is drenched in dressing and Parmesan cheese is absolutely disgusting to look at, imagine the taste ? Barf! I Gad to have the employees make me a new one because I'm not about to pay for an overpriced salad and not eat it. Next the pulled pork had maybe an ounce of pork if that's what you want to call it .. the fries ? Previously frozen low quality soggy ass fries. And the service ? Well that was the cherry on top shitty I've never been to a theme park and on top of paying $40 for 2 cafeteria style lunches have received mediocre service . Avoid this place walk a few feet down to the sandwich salad shop it looks better. read more

The WORST.....as in the WORST FOOD we've ever had. How can anyone mess up chicken tenders? It was the worst....even my two hungry kids did not want to eat it. In addition, the workers here are rude, maybe because they are miserable and hate their jobs! read more

I believe their warming trays are just decorative. Purchased the nachos, and the chicken tenders plate. The nachos were cold. The chicken tenders were room temperature with a side of cold fries. Terrible food with a high price. read more

This place takes so long just to charge you for the time you pay for your food it's called. They have two lines that they could have with ample staff but they choose only to have all of them on one side making for a quad and one side on the employee side and a very long line on the customer side. Management is apparently not paying attention. The food was average and it was cold. read more

rude employees. i was checking to see what exactly was on the sandwiches they had put out and barely touched one of the plates, an employee asked if i wanted it and i said no because my boyfriend is kosher and doesn't eat ham. he then grabbed the plate aggressively and said well great we have to throw it out. well sorry but how am i supposed to know what i'm even looking at and also how long does it really take to throw another sandwich on a panini press when there's already at least 10 other sandwiches sitting out and less than 4 people in the store. chaotic set up/not organized. sorry u have to wear a minion costume all day but that's not my fault sir. read more

The worst food an sooo expensive what the heck are these good reviews all about? It's probably the workers honestly. Can't believe the portions an the kind of food. All frozen an over priced. Disgusting read more

I love this restaurant. The food is always good and the have my favorite food item in the whole park. I know it's silly but I crave this item all the time and wish I could get it delivered. The item is BBQ pulled pork grilled cheese. I'm telling you, it hits the spot every time. It also comes with fries and warm bbq sauce on the side. Which is nice so I can put whatever amount on my sandwich. Sometimes they do close early which can be a shame. Like I said before this in my favorite item. If they ever got rid of this sandwich I would probably just have to complain to them every day till they brought it back. As for the restaurant itself. It's really cute and cozy. Fast and friendly service with all seating being outside. As I keep eating it I will take more pictures. I have had it many times but forget to take a picture. From now on I'll keep taking pictures. Truly the best grilled cheese sandwich. Who would have thought minions cafe at universal studios Hollywood would have the best bbq pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich. I never thought so but here we are! read more

Enjoyed the option for grilled cheese and tomato soup in an amusement park. They use cheddar cheese and the sandwich was not greasy. It's a noisy location, but worth it for the freshly made, not overly fried food. As overpriced, mass produced food goes, you could do much worse. read more
