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. read more

The Warm Puppy Cafe if a welcoming cafe where the food is served by a cheerful staff. Always clean cafeteria style food, excellent french fries! We have been going regularly for over 30 years. You can sit by the fireplace and watch the ice skaters and the Zamboni go by. Or you can sit outside in the sunshine under umbrellas, and enjoy the sound of the breeze blowing through the redwood trees. Highly recommend for all Peanuts/Charles Schultz fans. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Warm Puppy Cafe - Chicken Tenders & Fries with a Root Bear Float - American Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Came here on a Saturday after visiting the Charles M. Schultz Museum, and the place was packed, no surprise since I imagine weekends are always a full house. Worth keeping in mind when planning your visit! Their classic hot cocoa was sweet, rich, chocolatey, topped with whipped cream, and the cup it came in was super cute. Right inside, there's an ice skating rink, which I thought was really cool. It's a good size and seems perfect for families and beginners. read more

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. read more

Such a cute place to visit before/after ice skating or visiting the museum. We split the grilled cheese and tomato soup and fries as a quick snack. I was impressed with how creamy the tomato soup was and the fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. After skating, we each got a different hot chocolate--they tasted very distinct and suited each of our personal preferences. The Snoopy tasted like butterscotch, the Gang like creamy peanut butter, Pigpen like Oreos (a more elevated classic hot chocolate flavor), and Peppermint Patty like a mint chocolate holiday drink. Service was pretty fast once you ordered, and the staff at the cashier was friendly. There is wifi provided and plenty of seating inside and outside, and you can see the skaters on the rink too. read more

Must visit when you're in Santa Rosa with kids! We came during our visit to the Charles Schultz Museum (right across the street, 3 min walking). Very affordable prices, fun atmosphere where you can experience what Sparky did for several years, and also watch whatever is happening on the ice - we saw a hockey game when we came. We got the grilled cheese with tomato soup, tuna melt, chicken tenders with fries and chicken pot pie. Food was decent and well priced. We also got hot cocoas and an iced coco. A little too sweet for me but the kids loved it. Would definitely come back when we're here! read more

After a visit at the museum the gang was ready for a snack. I didn't have high expectations but I did want to eat something before heading out. I opted for the grilled cheese and fries. My family got the same thing with tomato soup, tenders, Mac and cheese, and hot chocolate. The wait time to get my order was short. My grilled cheese was toasted to perfection. Your basic grilled cheese but delicious and crunchy. My fries were also good but the tomato soup was even better with the grilled cheese. I kept dipping mine into my sister tomato soup. The tomato soup had a good flavor and was not too tart. I also sipped on the Oreo hot chocolate which again is your basic hot chocolate with Oreos but it was made right and was delicious. The space was cozy and had a fireplace. There was stained glass windows and a room full of the hockey attire of Charles Schulz. Big large windows to see the ice rink while you ate lunch. Plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your food inside and outside. Cashier was friendly. Simple menu. Basic food done right. read more

Stopped into Warm Puppy Cafe for cuteness and after learning about it at the museum, but was thoroughly surprised at how delicious everything was! The pretzel was pillowy soft, which I did not expect. The grilled cheese and tomato soup was also amazing. I guess they source as much as they can from the local community, which is great. You get a free coupon if you visit the museum! The ice rink was closed for renovations, but the overall atmosphere was very very sweet and had Snoopy everywhere of course. read more

LOVE the whole experience at the WPC! Great themed food, prices are decent and the food is quite good! They have some tasty specials too - I had a delicious chicken pot pie when I was there. I also love the staples though like the grilled cheese w tomato soup. I also appreciate that they have a vending machine to get simple things like a drink or water. The staff is helpful and nice, and has never been rude IMHO. Also like that you can watch the skating from the warm vibe of the cafe. read more

A stop at the Warm Puppy Cafe after a day at the Charles M. Schulz Museum is a must. The menu was limited and contained very basic food items, lacking creativity and Snoopy which was disappointing. However, the interior is cute and we had fun reading the Charlie Brown quotes around the restaurant. I decided on the tuna melt with fries, subbed for sweet potato fries, and my boyfriend ordered their special of the day, the reuben sandwich with fries. We also had to try their legendary Peppermint Patty hot cocoa. There is ample seating in the cafe but we sat at one of the tables outside since the weather was gorgeous and the sun was out. Our expectations were pretty low, so we were surprised when the food came out looking quite appetizing (or maybe we were just starving). Tuna melt was standard but I especially liked the sourdough bread it came on. It could've been elevated with a pickle or some avocado, something extra to add a little flare to it. I'm not typically a reuben girl, but my boyfriend really liked his sandwich. Sweet potato fries were okay, the sauce it came with made up for them. The peppermint hot cocoa was our favorite and it came with a York chocolate! Cute one time experience and nice vibes all around. It is also connected to an ice skating rink. Recommend for families, lovers, anyone who enjoys a good time. read more

Must experience for all Snoopy lovers! The iced Peppermint Patty hot chocolate was delicious and the cookies are filled with huge chocolate chunks.

After visiting the museum finally this time the cafe was opened to the public as a Peanut 's fan it was something that I was looking forward to do it. The place is like old fashioned, classic ice rink. Line was long maybe because it was around lunch time but it moved kinda fast. Inside was fresh and that feels good because outside was pretty hot and sunny day. The menu was simple for a quick bite. Nothing sophisticated but flavor was ok. Nothing extraordinary but to be honest I went more for the vibe that the food itself. They also offer couple vegetarian options and that for us was a plus. Also the root beer float was yummy. I ordered one hot dog special that came with potatoes chips because that it's served on a dog dish that has Snoopy printed. And you can take as a souvenir o for your dog. read more

I had the joy of trying out the warm puppy cafe during a trip to the museum and it's such little spot for a simple, but yummy hot chocolate! Items Ordered: Peppermint Patty Hot Chocolate- Simple, but yummy! It was topped with peppermint and whipped cream. Snoopy Hot Chocolate- Too sweet for my taste. If you have a sweet tooth and love for white chocolate, you may enjoy it though. Service: The staff was friendly and they hand you your hot chocolate at the register as soon as you order. Ambience: The cafe had a very warm cozy vibe. We sat next to the fireplace to warm up since it was a chilly day. The cafe also has a view of the ice rink and has a party room. read more

I was staying in Ukiah, and Santa Rosa only being an hour away, I drove down to see Snoopy's home ice, not knowing about the museum next-door. That was a bonus. I decided to have lunch here, and it was very good. I love all the peanuts decorations around The walls. There were a good number of tables, but the day I was there, I was lucky to get the last one. One table, nobody sits at. That was the table that Charles. Schulz would always sit at when he came into the café. It's there in his memory, It is decked out with peanuts memorabilia. I decided to have the "Good Grief! grilled cheese", with a cup of tomato soup. It was a full sandwich, and very decent sized. The bread was toasted just right, and there was plenty of cheese that tasted very good. The tomato soup was amazing, it was rich and seasoned well, and it even had some cheese in it. To top it off, The paper that it sits on, was filled with peanuts strips. The price was a tiny bit high, but actually not bad at all, considering the location and the quality of the food. I enjoyed having lunch here. Thank you. read more

We stopped by the Warm Puppy Cafe after visiting the Charles Schultz museum next door. After walking around I was craving a nice hot chocolate and it was so cute that they had a bunch of different options inspired by characters. I ended up ordering the Peppermint Patty ($4.50). It was a perfect minty hot chocolate, nothing crazy but for the price it was just what I wanted. They did offer some snacks and bites too, but it looked like there were more menu items that weren't available all day. They also had a little food vending machine that had items ready to go. The staff was friendly and there was ample seating available as well. They also offered some cute promotional items and all the cups were Peanuts themed as well. read more

Warm Puppy Cafe leaves much to be desired during our trip to the Charles Schultz museum, unfortunately. They had such a great opportunity to capture Peanuts fans with themed treats and goodies in a fun ambiance! But sadly, the space felt like a hockey rink cafeteria with no ambiance and the refrigerated and to-order food was uninspiring. We grabbed coffee here, and it was very average. None of the food appealed to us, though we would have loved to have a bite here and watch the hockey by the fireplace. It would be amazing to see the cafe offer more limited, fun themed options and bring more of the magic of Peanuts into the cafe! read more

I know this may seem strange but they have the best hot dogs ever at the Warm Puppy Cafe. The large hot dogs are grilled, cut almost in half and grilled some more.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and the place was moderately busy. The interior is cute with peanuts references and has an old school look. It is located right next to the ice rink. The menu had a limited offering and I was hoping for more unique options but consisted of standard sandwiches and a nice selection of hot chocolate tho. I got the tuna sandwich with the clam chowder and despite the simple menu I really enjoyed the food. The sandwich and clam chowder were very delicious!

I really loved the outside area of the cafe, plus, while you're seated, you get views of the skating rink, which gives the place a really charming vibe. I tried Sparky's Favorite (which is a tuna sandwich), and sadly, it just didn't hit the mark for me... It lacked salt and overall flavor (the complimentary Tapatio did helped a little) The hot dog was okay, nothing memorable... BUT the real star of the meal was the Pulled Pork Sandwich, sweet, juicy, and honestly delicious. Oh, and special shoutout to the fries SO good and crispy. Now what really threw me off was the smell inside the cafe. I get that it's a place with lots of history, but it made it hard for me to fully enjoy my meal, which was kind of a bummer. The menu is simple and straightforward, mostly quick meals at pretty reasonable prices. Service was fast and efficient, but nothing particularly warm or standout. read more

Went here for lunch after visiting the Charles Schulz Museum across the street. The cafe is inside next to the Snoopy Ice Skating Rink. Fun to watch people skate while munching on yummy snacks and drinking hot cocoa. Waiting in line took awhile, it was a crowded Saturday afternoon, but once we put our orders in, it was a short wait. Not too much money. Food was filling and tasted just fine. You spend just as much, or more at McDonald's for less quality. read more

I give this place 5 stars for the history it holds. The nostalgia alone is what makes this ice rink and mini café such a special one. The food is typical ice rink, snack bar food, but it is delicious and you would be surprised you have your typical young kids working the counter, but the services what is to be expected and the ambience is what would be expected of a ice rink or a roller rink. Again, I feel like the overwhelming presence of Charles Schultz is what makes this area so unique. I love that. They have Sparky's table still reserved for him and on display that alone as a part of the ambience is such a special thing to have. I traveled eight hours just to visit this place and it was unfortunate that we were unable to utilize the ice rink due to a tournament however, I still can appreciate being able to walk through these walls and see the heritage in history that has been held inside. Definitely stop by if you are in the area or if you are a Peanuts fan! This was an 8 hour trip for me and can now be taken off my bucket list. Super cute, and a must see. Grab yourself a peppermint patty hot chocolate and enjoy the ice rink! read more
