What it is

Cafe 4 is themed to the Baxter Building and serves pizza by the slice or the pie, pasta, meatball subs and salads from a counter, with a large indoor dining room upstairs. The food is unremarkable chain-quality pizza and the room is the point.

Marvel Super Hero Island has almost no shade, no other indoor space and two of the park's most physically demanding rides. Cafe 4 is where the members of your group who are not riding Hulk should be waiting, and where you should eat if the alternative is a bench in the sun.

Whole pies are the value play here. A family of four buying four individual meals will spend considerably more than the same four people buying one pie and a couple of drinks.

Our verdict

Average pizza in the most valuable air-conditioned room on the least comfortable island in the park. Buy the whole pie and take the upstairs seats.

What to order

The dishes this kitchen is actually known for. Menus change seasonally, so treat this as what to look for rather than a guaranteed list.

  • Cheese pizza by the slice
  • Whole pepperoni pizza
  • Meatball sub
  • Caesar salad
  • Spaghetti and meatballs

Tips for Cafe 4

  • Buy a whole pie rather than individual slices if you are feeding three or more. The price difference is substantial.
  • This is the swap-out room for Hulk and Doctor Doom's. Park the non-riders here rather than on the plaza.
  • The dining room upstairs is much larger and quieter than the ground floor and most guests never go up.
  • Mobile order before you get in the Hulk queue and collect on the way out.

Cheese Pizza Slice

Cafe 4

$9.99

A large slice of cheese pizza from the counter in the Baxter Building on Marvel Super Hero Island, sold individually or as part of a whole pie.

Our take: Ordinary and useful. Buying the whole pie for a group is meaningfully cheaper than four slices, and the upstairs room is the only air conditioning on that plaza.

Cafe 4: common questions

Is Cafe 4 good?

The pizza is ordinary chain-standard and the pasta is worse. What makes it worth using is the large air-conditioned dining room on an island with no shade at all, and the whole-pie pricing, which is genuinely good value for a group.

Can you get vegetarian food at Cafe 4?

Yes - cheese pizza, a vegetable pie, salads and pasta options are all available. It is one of the easier counters in the park for a vegetarian to order from without a conversation.
