Meat burrito  (given wrong one)
Diele K.

For a cafe, this location is all ambiance versus a great beverage and food product. I'd prefer to walk to Downtown Disney for Starbucks as its similar price with a better tasting product. The service was friendly, though I did receive the wrong product. I ordered a flat white and received a latte, not really that big of a deal for me. Shrugged it off as my friend said her iced chai was fine, and would just sip while I waited for my breakfast burrito. Sadly, I also received a meat burrito when I ordered just egg & cheese. Thankfully they caught me before I bit in as I try to stay strict to avoiding pork products. Overall, it wasn't the best experience or product. One and done experience for me, and likely return to booking the Disneyland Hotel as I find both the hotel and the coffee shop better.

This was our daily stop when staying at the hotel. Their coffee options were great -- a decent variety for being a smaller spot. I tried a few different things, and recommend asking about their seasonal flavors, as these were definitely some of my favorites! I wish there were so more food options, especially more breakfasty options. I had a chocolate croissant one day, which was fine, but there wasn't much. Not the end of the world since we were headed to the parks each day anyway. The service was good and drinks came out pretty quickly depending on business. It has a nice seating area that I was able to get some work done in, but it got quite full during the early morning rush! Ultimately, as a big Pixar fan, I was sold as soon as I laid my eyes on the fun theming.

London fog hot tea
Christa M.

It was pretty chilly on Friday night and we opted to stop by for some drinks. We stood in line to look over the menu and quickly decided on what we wanted. The cashier wasn't friendly and was definitely ready to go home in which made the interaction a bit awkward. I ordered a small hot London fog tea and my friend ordered a cold hibiscus tea in which she was told that it was no longer available... but it was listed on the menu?... My cousins ordered pastries and my sister had an iced matcha latte. Both drinks ordered were good. My tea was not too sweet and not bitter. It was also the perfect temperature. The pastries were moist and not dry. Tables were clean and there was plenty of seating. Service could've definitely been a lot better, even a smile would've cut it.

Menu

Great open lobby coffee shop in Pixar Hotel. Staff is very friendly and efficiently filling orders to get you in and out quickly. Restaurant sports a TV showing Pixar and Disney short videos as well as fantastic sketch art on the walls. Coffee menu is limited, but it sports the standard hot and cold drinks as well as specialty alternative milks (oat, almond, etc). There is a good variety of pastries as well as grab-n-go salads, mix fruit, wraps & pasta salads. Freshly toasted bagels are popular this morning...I'll have to try it next time.

I'm writing here to mainly discuss the customer service that I received when I visited the sketchpad café yesterday, April 13, 2026. I ordered two breakfast items and two drinks to go and it was a little bit busy when I went so I didn't mind just waiting there. 30 minutes after And not seeing anybody else that was around me that ordered at the same time, I went up to Tahiti, the cashier, and asked her if I could get a status on the order. It turned out that my order fell to the wayside and I was waiting in vain. After being apologized to a profusely by both Tahiti and Sarah the manager, Sara came by to talk to me and say that she would work out a resolution. I was not really in a rush. It was not a huge deal however I could see where people would be upset by it. Shortly after, my original order came out and it was cooked to perfection. The food is perfectly cooked nicely seasoned and actually a little bit big for a grab and go café. It kept me full for a long time and I really appreciated the fact that this was another option for food inside the hotel. Sarah was excellent and a really great manager of the café. She was so kind and so helpful and I almost wish I was staying a little bit longer just to eat at the location again. Next time I'm at the Pixar Pier Hotel, I will definitely stop by.

Vanilla Cold Brew

The Sketch Pad Cafe is located in the Pixar Hotel. It is a little hidden gem making it a perfect spot to sit down and relax. It's a nice space with plenty of seating and cute decor. They have pastries and snacks in addition to their drink menu. I ordered a vanilla cold brew. Service was great. My drink was good and gave me just the coffee kick I needed. Check out the sketch pad cafe next time you're at Disney!

Vanilla latte
Angilene I.

Love it here. You can create your own cold brew or order from their expresso bar menu. They were out of cold brew and weren't expecting another shipment in a while. So we ordered a vanilla latte and it was really good! Perfect amount of vanilla flavoring with a good coffee taste. Highly recommend before heading to the parks.

Iced latte with edible glitter gave

I loved how you could make your own coffee. Edible glitter gave it a nice touch. Many options

Perfect for a quick morning bite. While the service can sometimes be curt, it is relatively efficient. Solid start to a Disney day!

Phin Smith - Coconut coffee with an extra shot - Perfecto!

I've been to Phin Smith several times for a while now but I wanted to take some time and thought…read moreinto my review. To be honest, I find a lot of coffee shops to taste the same and repeat a lot of the same drinks. However, Phin Smith has its own signature through-line that makes it unique. I like that all the drinks have a sort of coconut or pandan very Vietnamese and tropical undertone. I have enjoyed all of the offerings here, both coffee and matcha, but especially the Oahu Joe. I can just feel like the whole team puts in so much effort into curating the menu, writing recipes, brewing the coffee, preparing the drinks. The staff are pretty professional and helpful. I really like the location and the space. It is located in historic downtown Garden Grove which has a unique charm that is distinctive or from the rest of city. It is very spacious and a good place to get some work done, study, chat, or just relax. The interior design is Spanish-inspired and rustic which is not the most common or popular coffee shop design style so I really like how distinctive and special it is. I will be coming back to Phin Smith for years to come and I genuinely recommend coming here.

Amazing service and amazing coffee there's not much more you could ask for…read more I'd like to start by saying I have NEVER been to a coffee shop or a place of business for that matter, that allows you to try it before paying and if you don't like it, they'll make you something else. That's excellent customer service in my opinion. I would 1000% come back because of the service and the delicious coffee.
