If you like a proper breakfast, it’s not some weird fancy convoluted breakfast and this is your place. The staff is super friendly. The food was great. I highly recommend the bacon in the atmosphere was chill. I highly recommend this place.

Wonderful little Cafe in downtown Laguna, south of the strand. I’m rating this as an inexpensive cafe, so 5 stars for food is relative to its status and pricing. For $20 dollars my wife and I were filled up on a bacon and turkey club, fries and ice tea. Pretty hard to find among the establishments along the coast. Great service.

Very nice breakfast. I’m usually a very nutrition conscious person (I came up with the ServingScore app), but I like to go off-road sometimes and eat a good traditional breakfast. Here, you are 1 block from the beach, can sit outside, be offered extra coffee a lot, and get a great price meal that is tasty. Enjoy!

Cute dinner with surprisingly good food! Highly recommend them huevos rancheros! Those hit the spot my dude. They be close to some good hiking spots so feel free to burn off calories there or surfing at the beach! Come hungry and leave with a belly. Really makes you happy to have eaten here. Tho I will say the French toast was kinda mid, so maybe try the flapjacks instead!

A local Laguna Beach hole in the wall. As others have noted, extremely friendly and quick service. It looked like it is frequented by regulars, which is always a good sign. I loved the sunrise melt and blueberry pancakes, but not a huge fan of the potatoes. Overall, I would highly recommend the place.

Perfect little diner! The breakfast sandwiches and hot chocolate were wonderful, the atmosphere was fun, parking was easy (behind the building), and the service was great.

When you’re in Laguna Beach and you’re looking for the best breakfast in town you got to go to Penguins. Their food is really the delicious made the way you want it and you’re full every time you leave. They serve lunch too but they’re a local breakfast favorite every day of the week. Enjoy Penguins when you’re in town!
