So it’s no secret that we LOOOOOVVVEEE Bread Pudding. We’re just going to blame ‘Ohana for turning us on to bread pudding in the first place.
‘Ohana Bread Pudding at Kona Cafe
But we’ve loved other bread puddings we’ve tried, too, including the Pineapple Bread Pudding at Kona Cafe, the Toffee Bread Pudding at House of Blues, and the seasonal Hot Cocoa Sea Salt Caramel Bread Pudding at Hollywood Scoops. And we got to try a brand new TROPICAL version of this yummy dessert TODAY!
So let us introduce the Pineapple-Coconut Bread Pudding at Banana Cabana at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. So yeah, we HAD to dig into that! This wonderful dessert is Pineapple Coconut Bread Pudding with a Caramel Sauce — AND it comes with a side of vanilla ice cream.
We’re in!
That sounds GREAT, right? But we’ve gotta take a step back and acknowledge that the location of this new treat is just plain weird. Why is such a yummy-sounding bread pudding hiding near a random pool at a Moderate resort? Who even wants to eat bread pudding by the pool?! Honestly, not us. We have QUESTIONS.
Doesn’t this look yummy?
Okay, sure, it’s strange. But we’re gonna push that aside and get tasting! And BOY is this treat good. The caramel sauce is not the gooey kind that drips all over — in this case, it sort of just soaks into the bread pudding and infuses its flavor with the rest of the dessert. There is also a TON of pineapple on top, with pieces of pineapple and coconut baked into the bread pudding. The flavor of this baby is 🔥🔥🔥!!! So yummy!
Ooey and gooey and oh, so good.
What’s really cool about this bread pudding, though, is that it’s served with a side of Vanilla Ice Cream.
Yummy melty ice cream
We dolloped that ice cream on top of the bread pudding because that’s what it’s there for!!! A la mode is where it’s at!
A la mode…
All in all, this is a wonderful tropical-inspired dessert. ‘Ohana’s bread pudding with the drippy caramel sauce is a CLASSIC that we adore, but we like that Disney decided to do something unique with this one. And it worked!
You can’t eat just one bite…
So what else makes this bread pudding so amazing? Well, a former chef from ‘Ohana (you know, the place with the bread pudding we all obsess about) created this recipe!!! So no wonder we loved it!
There’s a pineapple 🍍 coconut 🥥 bread pudding at Caribbean Beach Resort’s Banana Cabana 🏖…and it’s delicious! A former chef at the Poly resort’s ‘Ohana (home of the original pineapple bread pudding) has created this at CBR…and we’re so happy to see it! 👍 pic.twitter.com/CRBIe31QfD

But we’ve gotta ask: WHY is such a tasty treat hiding at a RANDOM pool in Disney World? It deserves so much better than a pool, people. And I have never sat by a pool and thought, man, I could really use some warm bread pudding right now. Still, if you love tropical flavors, it may be worth it to take a trip to Caribbean Beach and grab this snack for $10. And we’ll let you know if we find any other great snacks at Disney World!

Disney and bread pudding it looks great I wish I could get sum today . I think it is worth the money if it is that good .
We have been fans of the O’hana bread pudding (OBP) since DFB turned us on to it and have recently had the equally delicious slice at Kona Cafe due to O’hana’s stubborn refusal to re-open! On our most recent excursion to Orlando, we popped into Banana Cabana on a whim (we were actually going to Sebastian’s Bistro not realizing that IT TOO was still closed (are Stitch and Sebastian still in quarantine?)! We were, however, seated INSIDE of Sebastian’s Bistro even though we were still ordering off of BC’s menu. I know, it’s sounds confusing to me and I was there!
Upon ordering, I saw the bread pudding listed as a dessert (I had not seen this post yet.). We had been planning a meal at Kona Cafe to get theirs, but figured we’d do this instead (or additionally, you never know!). The server smiled at me with a knowing grin as I ordered with confidence, knowing what glories were in store!
I had assumed that this was the same bread pudding just re-located. It’s not, but that’s not a bad thing because OMG, this is the best ever!! I’m not dissing the original, but this is OBP 2.0! The extra pineapple is fantastic! As an added bonus, AJ, you can ask the server for an extra side of the caramel sauce. We did this twice (of course I went back!) and it was no problem and no extra charge. It’s a salted caramel sauce and it is beyond good!. I’m not gonna lie, I was using my butter knife to get every last bit out!
Can you get the bread pudding at Kona Cafe? It’s not listed on their menu. Also, is there any way to mobile order it? Kona’s menu is not real appealing to my family. We just want the bread pudding!
Paula, typically Kona does have some available in the afternoon/evening. If you decide to dine there, definitely ask your server at the start of your meal. You can’t Mobile Order at Kona. You could try asking the host(ess) at the front of the restaurant to see if they’d just let you buy one without dining in the restaurant, but I really don’t know if they’d do that for you. However, your best bet is probably to check with Tambu Lounge (located adjacent to ‘Ohana and not too far from Kona Cafe). They typically have the Bread Pudding in the afternoon/evening, but quantities could be limited.
