Great food, great price, friendly service. Try the French toast--it's awesome!--and bacon is actually crispy when you ask for it crispy. Cute little location right on PCH, too. You might get to see a few car clubs cruising by while you eat.

cuuute lil place! they don't give you waters atuomatically, you got to ask for waters which is okay!! just know that. huevos rancheros is good, so is the brek burrito. the hot sauce that comes on the side/ automatically is good. the decor is super silly too!! penguin themed, they went the whole nine yards

Ordered the omelette and Penguin club sandwich. Omelette was okay, nothing great, club sandwich was good. Ambiance is nice for a home town cafe. Service was less desirable. When raking for ketchup, water or more ice tea you'd think we were bothering the server. Two times we had to ask twice, and if looks could kill. We were here years ago and service was much better.

A classic diner smack in the middle of Laguna I had Bri's bowl (a vegan burrito bowl) it was really good & pretty healthy. My boyfriend got the chili cheese omelette & devoured every last morsel. Their coffee is strong, bold & hot & the service was very friendly. We'll absolutely be back

Penguin cafe was great! Perfect location walking distance from my hotel. I'm sure if you had to find parking though...you might have to drive around a bit depending on when you were there.Anyways, I want to say thanks to Sabrina the server because she was friendly and efficient. Great service here, the other staff were also friendly. I sat up at the bar and got a little ocean view looking through the back door by the bathrooms haha I had a breakfast sandwich with fruit and it was really tasty.This place is also super affordable for the area so that is a big plus. I shall be back soon :)

It would be much better if it had not gone out of business. Maybe some other review also indicates that it's out of business, but I did not look at the reviews. We walked here and sure enough it's closed.
