Disney California Adventure Aunt Cass Cafe Review

Aunt Cass Cafe is a quick service restaurant located in Disney California Adventure‘s San Fransokyo Square area. This location is known for their signature bread bowls from San Francisco’s famous Boudin bakery, as well as seasonal bread pudding and Japanese-style fluffy pancakes. In this post we’ll take a look at what Aunt Cass Cafe has to offer.

Frist we have the Chicken Tortilla Soup for $12.99, which is comprised of tomato broth, diced chicken, corn and topped with tortilla strips. The chicken tortilla soup is rich, savory, and has a wonderful smokey flavor. You can’t go wrong with this one.

The San Fransokyo Clam Chowder is served in one of the fresh bread bowls that are made on site in Aunt Cass Cafe. The soup soaks into the fresh Boudin bakery bread and it’s truly glorious. This is a very filling and delicious meal for only $12.99, which is on the cheaper side of Disneyland Resort quick service meals. Don’t miss out on this one.

A creamy mac & cheese bread bowl is also available for $12.99.

The Turkey Pesto Club includes roasted turkey breast, pesto aїoli, havarti, bacon, arugula, tomato and served on herb foccacia with potato chips for $13.99. It’s the least exciting thing on the menu, but it’s a perfectly find sandwich.

The Honey Lemon-Ade contains Minute Maid Lemonade Zero Sugar, yuzu puree with passion fruit and strawberry popping spheres for $8.29. Even with the zero sugar lemonade this is still a total sugar bomb. The yuza flavor is great, but at $7.49 this is another pass for me.

Now that you’ve skipped the Honey Lemon-Ade, you can spend the $7.29 on this beauty. The Chocolate Japanese-style Fluffy Cheesecake is a wonderfully fluffy dessert packed with rich cheesecake flavor. Fluffy Japanese-style pancakes are very trendy right now, and while this isn’t the best one I’ve ever had it’s still great and worth a try.

Aunt Cass Cafe is famous with locals for their incredible seasonal bread puddings. They change regularly throughout the year. During the Halloween season they’ve had pumpkin cheesecake bread pudding, and pictured above is the carrot cake bread pudding. I can’t recall a time where one has been bad so consider this a standing recommendation to try whichever bread pudding is available during your visit.

Aunt Cass Cafe is a popular dining spot in Disney California Adventure.

Overall Aunt Cass Cafe is a decent place to fill your stomach. Disney simplified the menu recently to remove most of the unique Japanese dishes, which is unfortunate. The focus of the menu is the bread bowls, which are good, but not very exciting. However, the Japanese-style fluffy pancake is a unique dessert in Disney California Adventure and they’re fantastic.
