Cafe 4, located within Universal's Islands of Adventure, presents a delightful dining option for park-goers seeking a quick yet satisfying meal. As noted by regulars like Andrew Carlstedt, the ordering process through the Universal Orlando app is efficient, allowing guests to enjoy their meals in a comfortable setting. Highlights include the spaghetti and meatballs, and the refreshing Caesar salad, both praised for their quality considering the quick-service format.
Beyond casual bites, Cafe 4 offers a fun-filled Marvel Character Dinner experience, which has garnered enthusiastic reviews from families. Guests appreciate the immersive character interactions, enriching the meal with memorable moments. However, some diners noted that the dessert selection was minimal compared to the buffet's offerings, leaving room for improvement.
While the ambiance can be slightly compromised by the adjacent arcade, overall, Cafe 4 remains a solid choice for a mid-park meal.

Cafe 4 is my go to place to get lunch at Universal's Islands of Adventure. You order and pay for your food through the Universal Orlando app and it's brought right to your table. My favorite things to get are the spaghetti and meatballs and/or the caesar salad, the latter of which I get if I'm not starving but I still need something to eat. The food quality is good for a quick service theme park restaurant. I do have to say that I wish that this restaurant wasn't connected to the arcade, because the arcade doors are always open and it lets hot air in. As a result, it isn't as cold in Cafe 4 as I'd like it to be. Other than that, it's a good place to have lunch.

This review is specifically for the Marvel Character Dinner. Overall this was an excellent character dining experience. Every character we met was perfectly playing their role and spent plenty of time chatting and taking pictures with every party. They each visited us multiple times throughout the meal and even made the effort to remember personal details about each party. I can't say enough good things about these actors. As for the food, it's buffet style with a decent variety. I thought all of the food was good, but the dessert selection was pretty minimal. The experience was a great value since the price includes the buffet, the character interactions, as well as all of the professional photos taken throughout your meal. It was very relaxed and not rushed whatsoever. If anyone in your family is a Marvel fan this is a can't miss experience and I would highly recommend it.

Excellent character dinner, food was great, the wait staff took great care of us. We only got three pictures with the characters compared to others that had at least triple the pictures.

The young ladies holding The doors open we’re very helpful and very nice. They told us to order on the app and they would bring it out to us. Saved us from waiting in a long and cold line, as we were still damp from our rides. Pizza is fire highly recommended! ...

Great cheap eats, compared to all the other places to eat. A large pizza, quite large, was able to feed a 4 people family for 44 dollars. Cheapest option for a family of 4. The theme was fantastic 4 and it serves Italian style food. Alfredo pasta, meat balls and marinara sauce etc. right next to the Hulk ride.
