"The Penguin Café at Laguna Beach is one of the area’s best-kept secrets. Attracting a vibrant mix of locals and city visitors, this café truly offers an authentic American malt shop experience. With juke boxes at every table and a charming coffee counter, it captures the essence of a classic American diner. For 40 years, this has been the go-to spot for both locals and tourists. It’s a true American classic! They serve a fantastic breakfast, generous portions of homemade soups, and their chili is the best in the county. And, of course, you can’t miss their wonderful hand-ground malts."
