What to Expect

The Location

20240505_124332The Power Up Cafe was designed to fit seamlessly into its location on New York Street both on closer inspection there’s more to this little unassuming eatery. The eatery is filled with cute little details evocative of playing in the Super Nintendo World.

Specialty Drinks

The Power Up Drinks at this location are not cheap but they offer a fun interactive twist over just Coke and some ice. These fun concoctions start off with Sprite and colorful flavored popping bobas. Your drink comes with a small ? Block that you can open to find your selected Power Up. Each Power Up is a Bob-omb of magic that changes both the color and flavor of your drink.

They are almost too cute to destroy but toss in your flavor bomb Power Up and mix it up until it dissolves completely (you might need to stab at it with your straw.) Stir and enjoy!

Snacks

The snacks are also a surprising level-up to the snacking offerings in the park. While the Fire Flower Pretzel is a pretty standard pretzel with salt (and no heat despite it’s name) it does come with three colorful dipping sauces (chipotle cheese, mustard, and white queso) to change up your flavor profiles with each bite. The Super Star Popcorn is regular buttered popcorn but take a closer look, it’s dusted with Super Star edible glitter.

20240505_124407The power house hits at this location though are the calzones. Partially prepared on site, these cheese stuff pastries are a surprisingly decent and hearty snack that earned some big points from us. While the vegan 1-Up Mushroom Calzone is a surprisingly tasty option filled with spinach, green pepper, mushroom, mozzarella cheese and basil pesto it was bested by its counter part. The Super Mushroom Calzone is filled with bits of pepperoni, sausage, mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce and is a really tasty treat with a lot of flavor going on. Both calzones have melted cheese on top and are shaped like the familiar icon of the Mushroom Kingdom.
