The Warm Puppy Cafe

I loved all the snoopy decor, everything was so cute and fun. I ordered the snoopy special, which was a hot dog, lays chips, and a plastic souvenir dog bowl for $10 total, along with a root beer float. both were pretty good but I was mostly happy about getting a souvenir for pretty cheap haha (it doesn't show on the picture, but there's a small black "warm puppy" logo with snoopy and woodstock on it). the cafe was connected to the skating rink but we didn't check out that other side as we were only there for lunch.

After an enjoyable visit to the museum and a quick cartoon drawing class in the education canter we took a walk over to the Warm Puppy Cafe. Food was great and came out very quickly. Was fun to watch the ice skating team train for thier next performance while we enjoyed a snack. Staff was very friendly. Certainly is worth a try when you’re in the area.

Warm puppy cafe was so nostalgic! Had the warm lights and Christmas music on and felt like an old Christmas movie from the 90s. You can watch people ice skating from the cafe too! The tuna melt was surprisingly so good, fries were perfectly crispy and salty. Hot cocoa was soooo sweet though.

Cozy place to get a hot drink and watch people on the ice rink year round. First visit to the snoopy museum so it was very nice :D

The Warm Puppy Cafe is such a charming little spot! I tried both the Gang hot chocolate and the Snoopy hot chocolate—and they were both delicious. The Gang had a Reese’s-style peanut butter flavor that was rich, chocolatey, and so cozy. The Snoopy was smooth and creamy with just the right amount of sweetness. Perfect for a chilly day! Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area—great drinks and super cute vibes!

Sept 2025. Only 62 reviews? It's a 5-star review for a 70-80s style diner/cafe. The Warm Puppy is a cafe built into the lobby of the Redwood Empire Ice Arena. The arena and cafe were built by Charles Schulz. A museum dedicated to the author of Peanuts is across the street. A table dedicated to Charles (Sparky) is set aside with a 'reserved' sign waiting for the talented - but humble - genius to arrive. It's a cafe folks. It's just fine for what it is. We ordered sandwiches with fries. They were good and reasonably priced. Staff had trouble with English, but they created delicious sandwiches in a timely manner. What else do you expect?

We stopped in for lunch after spending some time at the museum next door. It was pretty busy during lunch but the crowds disappear fairly quickly if you are there after 1pm, and we easily found seating in a cozy corner during the lunch rush. We each had the breaded chicken strips and fries and they were both fantastic. The chicken strips are full breasts and were cooked perfectly and juicy. That dish comes with ranch but we had to go back and ask for some but no biggy really. The staff was friendly and efficient. The little cafe has a large window area so that everyone has a good view of the ice rink. We arrived while hockey players were practicing and then it transitioned into public skating. One of the coolest things at the cafe are all the stain glass windows with Peanuts characters doing their winter things. Even if you don't ice skate I'd recommend stopping in for a bite and some relaxing cool relief from the summer heat.

We absolutely loved our experience at The Warm Puppy Cafe! The service was great, very kind staff, and the hot chocolate was so tasty! It was fun to have so many hot chocolates to choose from. The cafe was warm and inviting, I love that it feels like traveling back in time in the best way possible.
