The Cold Brew Black Caf at Disneyland has to be one of my favorite drinks. People often call it the Cocoa Puff Cold Brew because of its signature Cocoa Puff topping. You can find this delicious cold brew at Disneyland’s Starwars Land located at Docking Bay 7. It can even be mobile ordered.
I remember the first time I finally decided to give the Cold Brew Black Caf a try after hearing it over and over again in my Facebook Disneyland groups. Once I gave it a try, I was officially addicted. I ended up heading back to Star Wars land a few hours later and ordered another!
Eventually, I decided I created this Cold Brew Black Caf recipe so I could enjoy my favorite Disneyland drink whenever I wanted. I had tried a few recipes I found online, but they all really missed the mark. It is all about making the perfect sweet cream cheese topping and I’m happy to say, I perfected it. My recipe is spot on an exact replica of everyone’s favorite Cocoa Puff Cold Brew Disneyland has memorized us with.
What Ingredients Do I Need to Make Disneyland’s Cold Brew Black Caf?
In order to make this fantastic drink, you will need a few super simple ingredients you likely already have at home.
- Whipped Cream Cheese: I saw a few recipes call for Mascerpone Cheese, but they have it all wrong. It’s still too dense. In order to make the sweet cream cheese topping you need to use whipped cream cheese. It is light, airy, and even mentioned in the description of the drink on the Disneyland website.
- Sugar: The Cold Brew Black Caf is very mildy sweet. This isn’t going to smack you in the face with sweetness like a drink from Starbucks. Many recipes online are using way to much sugar. My recipe has the perfect amount of sugar to taste exactly like the Cold Brew Blac Caf Disneyland created. If you want your drink sweeter, simply double the amount of sugar and then it will be more up to par for those who have more of a sweet tooth.
- Half & Half: You need just the right amount of half and half to create the perfect consistency.
- Cocoa Puffs: They call it the Cocoa Puff Cold Brew Disneyland drink for a reason!
- Cold Brew: I used the Trader Joes Cold Brew ready to drink, but you can use any cold brew you like. Just remember, if you use a cold brew concentrate, mix it first and then measure it. Also if you own a nespresso machine, you can make a Lungo shot and refrigerate it instead of using cold brew. It will taste very similar. I would choose a Lungo Espresso with an intensity of 7 or under.
- Ice: Ice is optional, but you’ll want you cold brew to be nice and cold before you add it. This is much easier to drink in a normal glass than it is at the parks. When I order the Cold Brew Black Caf at Disneyland, I always ask for no ice which makes it easier to drink.
How to Make a Low Carb Keto Cold Brew Black Caf

Below are simple substitutions you can make to this recipe. In total this Keto version of our Cold Brew Black Caf recipe will have less than 3g of net carbs.
