Pacific Wharf Cafe

Pacific Wharf Cafe

Fashioned after the famous Fishermen's Wharf in San Francisco and Monterey's Cannery Row, Disney created Pacific Wharf. Located on the Pacific Wharf are the majority of the restaurants in the park. Here Alison and I ate at the Pacific Wharf Café and was amazed at how good it was. For $9 I got a delicious sourdough bead bowl filled with broccoli and cheese soup. The Café Bread bowls aren't the only things on the menu. They offer a sandwiches (turkey and roast beef), a variety of soups (Monterey Clam Chowder, Broccoli and Cheese, Santa Rosa Corn Chowder, and Vegetarian Chili), and salads (Newport Nicoise, Sonoma Chicken and Apple Salad, and San Francisco Shrimp Louie). Their deserts are even more tempting. There is everything from the largest Vanilla or Chocolate Cream Puffs I ever seen and very delicious I might add to muffins, cookies, and Pecan or Cinnamon Rolls. They also offer Mickey Mouse shaped sourdough bread for about $7a loaf. They make this at different times of the day. Just ask at the register,

During the peak hours for dining in the park (noon-5ish) expect to wait over an hour before being able to order, but the food is well worth the wait. Seating is located outside. Most tables have umbrellas to block the sun, but the smaller, two person tables along the railings, overlooking the water, don’t. I didn’t mind sitting here since I just got off of Grizzly Water Rapids and was soaking wet. The sun was a well-welcomed addition to lunch.

Attached to the Café is the Boudin Bakery Tour. Here you can get a free sample of the sourdough bread as well as see how the bread is made. The “tour” is really a video that is played at each station and is hosted by Rosie O’Donald and Colin Mochrie. You can actually watch bakers make the bread and then see how the dough goes though the baking process. In the tour area there are monitors where you are given an explanation of what you are seeing. The tour isn’t long and you can move though it as quickly as you like.

This is one of my favorite casual restaurants at California Adventure. You get your food and then carry it to the outside eating area on the wharf. (This is the one drawback that I have found, because in the winter it can be a bit chilly). The soups and salads in the wonderful sourdough bowl from the famous Boudin Bakery are a real treat. I really enjoy the chicken salad with apples, cranberries, and walnuts. The salad portion is not huge, but you fill up after eating the great bread bowl it comes with. They also have delicious sandwiches and baked treats if you have room for dessert. If not everyone can agree on what to eat, there is a Mexican place that shares the same dining patio.

After you take Boudin Bakery Tour, enjoy the fresh baked sourdough bread bowls served at the Pacific Wharf Cafe. The cafe serves corn chowder and clam chowder as well a variety of salads in their famous bread bowls. The cream puffs looked absolutely heavenly, but a bit too sinful for this writer to try. My only disappointment was that they do not serve any salads or soups without the bread bowls. It would have been nice to be able to get a side salad to go along with the soup in a bread bowl or vice versa, but the option was not available. It was still delish!
