Shannen Ace

A cup of decorated hot chocolate and a green iced drink with whipped cream sit on a counter, each on gold saucers with a biscuit and a spoon.

The Jade Cricket Cafe on the Disney Treasure is a “Mulan”-inspired space offering various coffees, teas, and alcoholic beverages. We reviewed the cafe’s Lucky Cricket Latte and Ube-licious.

Jade Cricket Cafe Tour

A modern restaurant bar with teal chairs and ornate metalwork. Geometric floral designs decorate the entrance. Soft, ambient lighting creates a cozy atmosphere.

The Jade Cricket Cafe is on deck 5 of the Treasure, overlooking the Grand Hall. It’s surrounded by green flooring with gray blossoms. A golden moon gate inspired by Chinese architecture features pink plum blossoms.

Modern bar with green upholstered chairs and decorative metal accents, featuring a circular opening in the front panel. Overhead, round white lights illuminate the space.

The cafe’s hexagon shape is inspired by Chinese pavilions. Two white chairs with patterned backs are next to a circular table behind the moon gate. Jade green chairs are pulled up to the bar, which has a metallic front inspired by Mulan’s armor.

Small café corner with two chairs and a round table beside a countertop. The backdrop features a mural with cherry blossoms, and a sign reads "Jade Cricket Cafe.

Another pair of white chairs and a small table are in the corner. The back wall features panels resembling windows that showcase pink blossoms floating from trees. The “Jade Cricket Cafe” signs resemble scrolls and feature Cri-Kee.

The cafe’s namesake is also depicted as part of a jade sculpture on the white counter. He’s relaxing in a warm cup of tea.

A modern bar with a long counter, bar stools, ornate light fixtures, and a variety of drinks and equipment on display. The decor features elegant blue tones and floral accents.

White lanterns hang above the bar. Behind the bar is a circular mirror.

Jade Cricket Cafe Menu

The closed dark green menu features decorative line art of flowers and clouds, showcasing the "Jade Orchid Café" label on the front. Perfect for those exploring charming Bars Lounges Cafes like those aboard a Disney Treasure Cruise Ship.

The tablet menu is encased in a green pleather folder featuring golden tree and cloud designs. We just reviewed two of the specialty non-alcoholic “Matchmakers Favorites,” but the Jade Cricket offers a whole host of drink options. While most food and beverages aboard a Disney Cruise Line ship are included with the price of the voyage, specialty beverages like these come with an extra fee. This can be charged directly to your stateroom.

Jade Cricket Cafe Review

Lucky Cricket Latte – $5.75

Matcha, White Chocolate, and Soft Whip Topping

A tall glass of iced matcha latte with whipped cream on top, placed on a saucer with a wrapped biscotti and a spoon, set on a counter in a cafe.

Though this is a “latte,” it doesn’t actually have any coffee in it. It’s earthy, almost like drinking straight matcha powder. There’s a bit of sweetness from the white chocolate. It’s not great, we wouldn’t get it again.

Rating out of 7: 3

Ube-licious – $5.75

Ube Condensed Milk, Coconut, Oat Milk, and Illy Espresso

A cup of coffee with latte art reading "Jade Cricket Cafe" on a golden saucer. A spoon and a packaged biscotti are placed next to the cup.

This we love. It has a beautiful presentation with “Jade Cricket Cafe” on the drink thanks to a stencil. Both drinks came on pretty golden saucers. The drink itself is tremendous. We don’t get much coconut flavor but the ube and oat milk come through. The coffee is strong. There’s a bit of sweetness.

A hand holds a wrapped Nonni's biscotti in front of a cappuccino on a saucer with the text "Jade Cricket Cafe" on the foam.

Each drink was served with a pre-packaged Nonni’s Bakery biscotti.
