This is how breakfast should be! I had an omelet, and the ham, spinach and mushrooms were all fresh. My husband had corn beef hash. Yum. We had fruit, which was fresh and pretty. It is an old-style diner, and felt comfortable and very welcoming. Family owned since 1942, the owner takes great pride in her restaurant, and she should be proud of it. You should eat here!!!

Great cafe! My wife and I had such a great experience! We are definitely coming back when we're in the area.try Penguin Cafe for your next coffee and breakfast. ☕

Great all-American breakfast spotReasonably priced wonderful service and great food

Diner atmosphere, diner menu. Food is pretty good, not amazing. Service is fast. No wait. Street metered parking. Only three small tables out front on the sidewalk close to the street. So, not what I come to Laguna Beach for. If you are local and looking for a breakfast without a long wait, this place is good. If you are in Laguna for the beach atmosphere, you will be disappointed.

A great place to have coffee! I was amazed how the fruits were soooo fresh and sandwiches delicious! Staff is friendly and fun!We always stop on our way up to LA, specially when we have family in town!

Great food, really friendly and attentive staff, and reasonable prices. The garden omelet was delicious, as were the fresh blueberry pancakes. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Laguna Beach!

Basic good diner food that is a local favorite. Comfortable and casual. Good for breakfast or lunch, parking on highway.

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.

Great place it's a quiet little Nook in Laguna been going there for decades good food good service great location and you need to meet a lot of great people

Loveeed the food and service. My first meal and dining experience in Laguna and it was incredible. The ambiance wasn’t the greatest but my breakfast was! And the ladies who served us were so genuine and on point. This is a must go!
