Penguin Donuts

Location:It has shared parking with a seafood/taco restaurant that takes up all the parking, so parking wasn't easy. We ended up parking on the street. Ambiance:This is definitely a neighborhood shop. It looks rough on the edges. Service: it's a sweet lady working that gave us a free donut hole while we waited for our food. Food: we ordered a jalapeño, ham and cheese croissant. I was pleasantly surprised how delicious it was! It had honey baked ham and pickled jalapeños. We got it warmed up. Usually places will just throw it in the microwave, but she actually panini pressed it! Each bite had either ham or jalapeño. It had a perfect amount of ham, cheese, and jalapeño. I would go back again.

It's an interesting place with good food. I got the ham egg bacon and cheese croissant and it was dam good. The place itself is a mess around you. All of the fridges had many different items and some were tossed around a bit. The donut counter was nice and had a good selection. It's definitely a place that truly serves the community around it, and i definitely support places like this.

Another place I found through the app - too good to go. My yelp girl Michelle L told me about the app. It has a lot of bakeries, some restaurants and a lot of donut places. They all have mystery bags / boxes of stuff they didn't sell and would otherwise be thrown away This place isn't too far from me and I've been wanting to try itAs soon as I walked in the staff was really friendly. The lady behind the counter was great. I showed her I purchased the surprise boxes from the app and she started boxing upThe donuts. She even gave me some donut holes to try while waiting I ended up getting these because I always bring them into the car dealership in the morning when I get an oil change for the workers. There was all kinds of donuts in the box. But mostly regular glazed, some maple ones and chocolate glazed. They also have a lot of other stuff to purchase like bobas. I also bought a couple cookies and she gave me one for free Whether you are trying a locally owned donut place or trying the app, give this place a try (The boxes on the app were 5.99)

Kind lady always at the front. I always enjoy supporting local small businesses like this. Please be patient with the lady at front she makes everything fresh with fresh ingredients. Sandwich was 10/10 and she also threw in some free donut holes.

Using the Too Good To Go app, for $5.99 I got over a dozen of a variety of donuts! Glad Penguin Donuts partners with this app to prevent food waste. The donuts were tasty and the woman working was so kind. There were seats to dine in although ambience is lacking. Next time, I would try the breakfast bagel sandwiches and fresh squeezed juice.

Donuts weren't that good, mango smoothie was just powdered mango, ham and cheese was kind of gooey. And a crazy homeless woman was harassing us on the way in and out. Great service though and friendly people just bad location and ingredients.

Was looking up whatever would be open at 5am in lbc before taking my sister to the airport. Penguin donuts popped up so we headed over.Long Beach low key still lil hood, not like scary hood but the kind of crackhead hood. We were greeted by one once we drove up. Came inside and greeted quickly by an auntie. She was very sweet, even tho the man came inside and trynna get us to buy him things just lingering and touching shit. The auntie was pretty calm. Since this is normal for the businesses out there sadly. Ordered two Banh mi - Egg and a pork.They both were filled with topping and the pickled veggies were super fresh. These items took a little wait. So I recommend to call ahead.My sister gotten glazed twist donut she said was really good.Viet coffee wasn't that great but the hot coffee black was pretty good. The counter had mason jars of Mum papaya so I grabbed a few and snacked on those rest of the day.The flexible hours along with good service is be back. Just know if you do choose Togo before dawn it'll be kinda wild, harmless but wild.

Great donuts, price point, and customer service. Thank you Mr.Lee. Was not expecting to find such a great donut place randomly but glad I did!

They were closed late night when my gf and I came check it out. yelp says they're open until 2 but I'm not sure if that's is every once and while. I came back the next day and I'm glad I did. The lady was really sweet and welcome to criticism on the spot if the food wasn't good. Bought a chicken Banh mi and beef Banh mi along with donuts. The sandwich was just right. And the prices are hard to beat for a Banh Mi. Would recommend. Donuts were pretty good too. Parking is a bit clunky so I would suggest coming in and parking in the main area because the back is hard to get back out from the alleyway.

I tried this place twice because of the "too good to go" app. Great value and great donuts. It is really easy to place an order using the app and they are always really nice.
