Parking lot and restrooms shared with skating rink. The food was delicious. It was prepared in a short time. The staff was friendly, patient and helpful. The noise level was loud because there were a lot of children. There was seating but it filled up quickly. If you are at the skating rink or museum, it is a great option.

Hot dog and chicken tenders

Such a gem of a spot Everything you need from a cafe after some ice skating Good hot food, soups/chilli's, hot chocolate Chicken tenders and fries are really decent here! Get the linus hot cocoa if you like your marshmallows Also lots of choices for picky toddlers, like juices, pouches, etc

If you're visiting the Charles M. Schultz museum don't forget to visit the Warm Puppy Cafe! It's the cutest little cafe with everything Peanuts and Snoopy related. It's also attached to an ice rink which I thought was really nice - but be warned. Depending on the season it will be packed. Everything we had was really good, definitely recommend a hot chocolate if the weather calls for it. I believe some menu items are seasonal and rotate but I really enjoyed the carnitas tacos (if they have them, i definitely recommend) and my husband got a turkey sandwich. It was just your typical turkey sandwich, nothing to write home about. Honestly though - even if the food wasn't good I would come here for the vibes and experience alone.

It was my first time visiting the warm puppy cafe and it was so cute inside I could not believe. They also have an ice skating ring inside which is amazing. I ordered their grilled cheese with fries but you do have the option of getting tomato bisque instead. It was perfectly crisp and delicious. The fries were also perfectly crisp. I also got a root beer float and the ice cream they used was one of the beat ever. There is plenty of seating inside and the employee who took our order was very nice.

Right next to the museum so it came in for a quick bite, nice place to sit down and relax. Able to see all those skaters on the ice rink. And it's very decorated very cute with peanuts. We made a purchase the services very nice and quick.

Chicken Tenders & Fries with a Root Bear Float
Mike L.

Typically, whenever I'm hungry and in an area that I don't find myself in all that often, the Yelper in me always feels compelled to hop on the app and search for the best places to get something to eat at. Trendy, popular, highly rated, just looks interesting...it doesn't matter. In this case, though, all of that went out the window. After all, following a day spent checking out the Charles Schultz Museum, the experience wouldn't be complete without stopping to grab something to eat at the Warm Puppy Cafe! Even if we figured the food may not amaze us... Located inside Snoopy's Home Ice, across the street from the museum, Warm Puppy Cafe is more of a snack bar for the ice rink than an actual cafe. That being said, the menu actually has a solid selection to choose from. Given their nature, we weren't surprised to see the likes of hot dogs, pretzels, chicken tenders, fries, and ice cream offered, but we were surprised to see things like clam chowder, caesar salad, garden burgers, pulled pork sandwiches, foccacia pizza, reubens, egg salad sandwiches, caprese sandwiches, and even pot pies show up. Their signature offering, though, are their variety of hot cocoas, which we, tragically, weren't in really in the mood for. Since we were looking to just get a snack before heading back towards SF, we opted to just get an order of their CHICKEN TENDER & FRIES ($13) and a ROOT BEER FLOAT ($7). Overall, both were mostly fine for what they are, but they also left us with mixed feelings. On the plus side, both the tenders and the fries were crispy and I like how the chicken wasn't dried out and how the fries weren't very greasy. Yet, on the other, the portion felt a little light on chicken (one of the pieces was pretty small). As for the float, the taste of it was pretty decent and didn't taste overly sweet, but it's disappointing how they use soft serve instead of ice cream (which would've gave this a creamier texture). Between how a lot of folks mosey on over from the Charles Schultz Museum, as well from the adjoining ice skating rink, there's typically a line here regardless of what time it is. Plus, given how their prices aren't all that terrible, it's a viable option to get something to eat while you're already in the area. Personally, while I'm certainly glad to have come here, I'd be lying if I said I'd choose to come back here for a meal over checking out what the rest of Santa Rosa has to offer. However, if/when we're back at the museum and in search of a treat, I wouldn't be opposed to finding out why their hot cocoa is so popular!

Chicken Strips

Warm Puppy Cafe is all about nostalgia, the kind that instantly makes you smile. With Charlie Brown touches everywhere, it's playful, cozy, and just genuinely fun to be in. It's less of a traditional restaurant and more of a snack bar tucked inside the skate rink, which honestly adds to the charm. It does get crowded, and the line was definitely long, but it moves pretty quickly. I waited about 15 minutes in line for six meals, and everything came out within about 25 minutes total, which is impressive for how busy it was. We ordered chicken strips and fries, a grilled cheese, and a tuna sandwich, and everything was solid. Good quality, simple comfort food that hits the spot after skating or walking around. The staff was friendly and kept things moving, which makes a big difference in a busy space like this. Cleanliness-wise, it's what you'd expect from a high-traffic spot with skaters, tourists, and families coming through nonstop, not spotless, but understandable given the environment. Overall, it's a fun stop, especially with everything around it. Being attached to the ice rink and the Charlie Brown museum makes it more of an experience than just a place to eat. Definitely worth it for the vibe alone.

On our ultimate Snoopy adventure trip, we had to stop and visit the Schulz campus, which included the Snoopy Home Ice Rink. Inside, you will find the cutest little cafe where Charles Schulz himself used to hang out. In fact, his regular table is still there and reserved for him. The Peanuts theme throughout this cafe is super cute. From the Peanuts stained glass windows to the creative menu names. The menu is simple, but the quality of the food is great. Not gourmet, but hot, fresh and what would be expected at a quick service snack bar. Definitely get yourself a hot chocolate! The cup that they come in is very cute and it was just down right a great cup of hot chocolate! If you are planning to do a little Ice Skating, be sure to plan accordingly. There are specific times that are available for open skating. When we were there, there was a hockey tournament going on so we were not able to ice skate. Overall, great little cafe. I am so glad we made time to sit and enjoy this one.

If you love the Peanuts this is a must do for you. The food & prices are okay but all the Snoopy & Peanuts themed decor makes it worth the visit. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with fries. It had a messy sauce on it which made it tough to eat. My friend got the chili & corn bread. Charles M Schulz, the creator of the Peanuts used to come here for lunch. It's cafeteria style so you order at the counter and pick it up when they call your number. It's attached to the ice rink & across the street from the Charles M Schulz Museum.

the menu wasn't snoopy enough. it was simple american classics, it felt really plain and not too exciting items. most themed items were the hot cocoa. tbh really good chicken tenders and fries. nice crisp and fries were delicious. mcdonald's fries on a good day!! quite possibly the best hot cocoa i've ever had. the gang was TEWWWW good. a peanut butter hot cocoa? why did i never think about that line is awkwardly situated and the seating is too small for a busy day. But the staff was really nice and helpful.

Pulled pork sandwich, Chili bowl, Miller hot dog
Kenny B.

Fun stop for food after visit the Charles Schulz Museum. My wife is a major Snoopy fan. Much more than most people might imagine. So when we visited the museum we had to stop and check out the cafe as well. The line can be long, as it's attached to the skate rink, which I imagine stays busy. But it moved relatively fast and we didn't have to wait too long for our food. I was able to secure a table outside with minimal wait time. The variety of hot chocolate looked great. But we were there around lunch time and were hungry. I went for something different and got the pulled pork sandwich. It was actually far better than I expected. The bread was toasted and very fresh which makes a big difference. The fries were also good. My wife ordered the Miller Hot Dog combo and it was very tasty. She also ordered a chili for us to try. Again, better than expected. Hearty flavor and very tasty. Our kids got tenders and grill cheese which were serviceable and pretty standard. All in all, it was surprisingly better than expected. It's not a fancy gourmet meal. But c'mon, it's Peanuts/Snoopy themed and it's on site with the museum, ice rink and gift shop. Honestly not bad at all, we'd eat there again on our next trip to the museum. I'd like to try the cocoa next time!

Our order

The warm puppy cafe has the very best hot chocolate drinks. It is inside Snoopy's Home Ice and just next to the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center building. I highly recommend "the gang" drink. It was the best hot chocolate I've ever had. It was rich and creamy. I liked the salty peanut butter sauce on top of the whipped cream. The burger looked delicious next to our drinks. Overall, the atmosphere is great with a Snoopy theme. The menu is wide and the choices are varied at reasonable prices. The hot chocolate is a must-have drink. You will never go wrong. The hot chocolate drink paired with peanut butter is a perfect match. For your information, the line, however, was kind of slow due to the size of the shop and its limited space. So be prepared and be patient.

turkey cheddar sandwich, Good Grief Grilled Cheese with tomato soup, Snoopy's Special
Michelle Z.

Such a cute spot to have lunch near the Charles M Schulz museum & ice rink! The food options looked pretty basic but honestly everything was very good! I loved the grilled cheese & flavorful tomato soup (did not taste like it just came out of a can. Super flavorful and creamy!) I also liked the turkey cheddar sandwich -- came with veggies and flavorful aioli & big serving of fries. The snoopy's special came with a souvenir plastic dog bowl which was cute but the food was pretty simple -- just a normal hot dog and lays chips. The price of everything was honestly not that bad; for 3 entrees we paid $40. I wish we had room for the hot chocolate because it looked so good & the cup was adorable! Service was friendly and food didn't take too long to come out. There's lots of seating inside & outside. I loved sitting in the little courtyard outside next to the huge snoopy hedge.

Everyone's food came out in a pretty timely manner and everyone cleared their plates. I tried the Americana coffee and the menu showed that the syrup was made in house. I really enjoyed it as it wasn't a super sweet taste. After all of the heaviness from the weekend I went with the simple potato and eggs breakfast. It also came with a piece of sourdough toast. Eggs over easy and home fries. I also added 2 chicken sausage patties. The sausage was great and not too salty and the eggs were perfect.

When my food was delivered it was rather quickly, and I never saw my waiter again. I was alone for brunch in this cute restaurant, it was a busy day on Labor Day weekend, and they did put me at the bar, but I was near a POS entry system. Food, definitely come back.

I had an omelette with spinach, caramelized, tomatoes, chicken sausage, and goat cheese. This was one of the most delicious bites I've had at a breakfast spot in a long time. We also shared an order of beignets that came with some fresh apple butter, which was to die for! It felt like taking a bit off fall weather if that makes sense. My boyfriend had some biscuits and country gravy with a side of sausage and fried eggs. He loved everything that he ate as well. He also had a bloody Mary, which was made with Soju. The flavor and quality was top notch and you hardly missed the vodka from the drink. Our server was very friendly, and he offered some insight into the quality of the Soju and the vendors that they work with. I just really loved the care that this restaurant put into not only service but the food that they're producing.
