That would be PERFECT in New Orleans Square. :D:

Although, I don't know how parents would react to the trademark voodoo donuts. :rolleyes:

Have you tried a French press of 100% Kona from Kona Cafe? I have even been able to get it at Ohana during breakfast. It was a new request for the server, but she happily brought us 2 of them!

Are you sure it's 100% Kona?

I heard they had Kona, not sure if it's 100%. I'll have to ask next time we're down there. I do like me some Kona!

They offer both 100% Kona in the french press, and Kona Blend, by the cup and at the coffee bar. It is roasted in Orlando I believe.
The french press compares very favorably to the Kona that I order online from Smith Farms in Hawaii.

I don't drink coffee so have never paid much attention to the price. I checked the Smith's Farms site and saw that they get $22 a pound. You guys have an expensive habit.

My wife drinks coffee and occasionally gets a pound of our neighbor's stuff that'a a mix of beans he grows in Kula at his O'o farm and beans from Kaanapali Coffee Farms. It runs $26.50 a pound. She sez the price difference between store bought and the Kona/Kula stuff is really out of whack as there's not much difference in the taste.

We got a pound of Kona and a pound of Jamaican Blue Mountain at work. We tried drank on alternating days. It was hard to go back to the swill they give us.
