Convenient, quick-service, and ready to fuel adults and kids alike, The Sketch Pad Café in Disneyland Resort’s Pixar Place Hotel is a must-visit for guests staying on-property. Featuring fun Pixar-inspired theming (and plenty of sketches that show how different characters came to life), this restaurant is the perfect spot to pick up grab-and-go meals, sweet treats, and caffeinated drinks like coffee and tea.

The Sketch Pad Café Location

The Sketch Pad Café is located inside Pixar Place Hotel, on the first floor. You’ll find the lounge-style spot just off the hotel’s lobby and near Store-E – in fact, you can see Luxo Jr. atop his ball from the restaurant’s seating area.

The Sketch Pad Café Menu

Open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything in between, The Sketch Pad Café features a mix of sweet and savory options. While much of the menu leans towards breakfast and brunch, it’s possible to find something here to eat any time of the day.

The star of the show here, at least for adults, is the Build Your Own Brew option. You can customize your coffee with all kinds of extras and toppings, offering all of the perks of a coffeehouse (and the prices aren’t bad, either).

For food, the mix of hot dishes that can be heated up on the spot and grab-and-go snacks or pastries makes for a satisfying selection no matter what you’re in the mood for.

Is The Sketch Pad Café Kid-Friendly?

While there are certainly plenty of adult options on the menu at The Sketch Pad Café in the form of customizable coffee and hot meals like avocado toast, this quick-service spot is still very kid-friendly.

Specifically, this Pixar Place destination is ideal for families who want to eat on the go or are hoping to skip the trappings of a traditional sit-down meal. You can grab straightforward breakfast items that will please kids (and picky eaters) of any age, while still choosing items that appeal to older tweens, teens, and adults. 

Plus, if you’re worried about kids who are wiggly, noisy, or may need to get up and leave in the middle of a meal, The Sketch Pad Café offers flexibility for all of this. The relaxed vibes and lobby-centric space mean there are always people coming and going.
