Pengo has a few locations in OC but this one is my favorite, and not just because it's the closest one to me. It's located right off of the Avery exit on the 5 freeway across from Del Taco and Jack In The Box. The shop is spacious and cute with tables for hanging out and lots of natural light. If you like having variety, they have lots of drinks here from milk and fruit teas to matcha, coffee, shakes, slushies and more. I recently got their Jasmine Milk Tea with boba in a 32 oz. super size for only $4.99 because of a promotion they had. I got it less sweet which was just right for me and I could still taste the tea flavor. I haven't tried the food here but they serve snacks like popcorn chicken and croffles that look really good. It's a great place for boba, especially when they have promotions going on because boba can be an expensive habit. read more

Tried the ube matcha with boba and it was delicious, perfectly balanced and not too sweet. The shop itself has a great setup with comfortable booths and even a few fun claw games with cute stuffed animals and boba plushies. While I didn't need to use it this time, it's awesome that they offer Wi-Fi and free printing. To top it off, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Def recommend! read more

Been coming here on and off for years. The drinks are still pretty good. Especially the fruit drinks. Favorite is the peach it up. The popcorn chicken has really gone downhill. It has changed completely from years ago. It doesn't look or taste like popcorn chicken. They are all small round and look almost exact same size. Looks and tastes like something you got from the grocery store in the frozen section. Very disappointed. read more

Cool place to hang out with friends. Stopped by after some lunch nearby. Ordered lychee peachy tea with boba and a croffle. The tea and croffle were made fresh by the staff. Enjoyed the cookies and cream croffle with my tea. Forgot to take a picture of my tea. read more

It's hidden in a corner of the plaza but the inside is spacious with lots of seatings! They even have wifi if you plan on studying or working there! Lots of drinks options from lattes to matcha! There are also food/snacks options like croffles (croissant & waffles), breakfast sandwiches & popcorn chicken! I got: deep blue beauty (9/10; tart) avocado smash (10/10; creamy) matcha croffle (10/10; interesting take) popcorn chicken (9/10; a little bit salty & not as crispy) Overall service & everything was great! Friendly & welcoming! read more

Stopped by and tried two drinks and both were really good. The matcha was creamy and smooth, not overly sweet, and the boba had the perfect chew without being too soft or too firm. You can tell the matcha is well balanced and not powdery. I also tried their house specialty coffee with boba and it was bold and rich without being bitter. The boba worked surprisingly well with the coffee and added a nice texture. Both drinks felt thoughtfully made and not rushed. Overall a solid spot for both matcha and coffee lovers. Great place to hang out, study, or just grab a quality drink when you're in the area. I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu. read more

Ah, Pengo Drink Station: this boba shop that I'm convinced is secretly owned by a penguin--it offers high-quality drinks like lattes and milk tea in a casual but colorful ambiance and larger emphasis on amicable and memorable customer experiences! The penguin mascot is so adorable, the staff is positively friendly, and we love the wide variety and quality of our snacks and drinks !! What we ordered (with ratings): Kiwi kick with rainbow jelly : 9/10 Banana matcha oat latte with matcha cream : 10/10 Crispy panko shrimp with spicy mayo to dip : 9/10 Cheesy crocs waffles with mozzarella and ricotta : 10/10 read more

Atmosphere: This place is located in a great corner spot! When you walk in, it's vibrant and fun! Service: The person that was helping us out was really nice! They were helpful even if they were just out of something. (Always have a backup people! It happens! Just be nice!) Price: This place is definitely worth the price. The quality of the drinks and the waffle is worth it. Also, little 3D printed friends are high quality! Food: Jumbo Cheezy Waffle has a little sweetness to the waffle itself, but it complements the cheese inside the waffle. Drinks: Creme Brulee Thai Tea: This was the perfect balance of Thai Tea and creme. It just went down so smoothly. I'd definitely call this more of a dessert drink. Would definitely order again! Strawberry Milk Tea: This has the feel of a childhood favorite strawberry milk. The fresh strawberries are a great touch to it! Deep Blue Beauty with Strawberry Popping Bubbles: This was such a fun drink. The little bit of tang from the raspberry, the chia seeds, then the hit of strawberry was great! Overall this place is so fun! Definitely go visit! read more

Pengo is one of my favorite places to grab a sweet treat! The house milk tea is my absolute fave !!!!! And my husband is obsessed with the mangoniada. We stick to what we like but I'm sure everything else is just as yummy! I've been wanting to try their snacks, but I typically stroll in there pretty late and by that time they no longer sell food. Bummer! I love the ambiance of this place - it's spacious and comfy! We always sit in the big cozy chairs at the entrance while we sip and chat! They also have lots of tables and feee WiFi so you can go study or work. The employees are polite but could be a little more enthusiastic about their job since it's a happy place for customers. All in all ... go check it out! read more

This is such a fun spot to grab some milk teas, smoothies, and slushes! They also offer snacks like Popcorn Chicken, Cheezy Crokffle (my fav), and Potato Corn Dogs! There's a variety of other drinks as well if you are leaning more towards hot drinks for the cold season. I shared some of these with my friends and we really loved the Crokffle, which they always sell out with - so so happy they had it when I visited! I tried Pengo in Lake Forest some years ago and it was nice to try the Mission Viejo location to experience their new and fun menu! The workers were very helpful with suggesting their popular items and answering my questions. Their store also has some cute claw machines and decor that are very quirky, and it's pretty cool they have a free printing station. What I really liked was the amount of seating area available and tables that are great for big groups to hang out while sipping on boba and snacking on some Crocs-shaped waffles haha read more

Came here once before about 2 years ago and never finished my yelp review. I only recall the place had good boba and was going to give it 5 stars. Last Friday I was here for my son to take a test over at saddleback college. I didn't know how close it was to this place. It was like 90 degrees out and I wanted us to grab a drink after so we went here. Boba is still deliciously soft and chewy. We got in before the Friday evening rush. You can order off a kiosk by the cashier to save time, and adjust your drink on sweetness and ice level, which is nice. Parking is dicey when it's busy but when it's not, it's pretty easy out front. Definitely can't wait to swing by the next time we are in the area. read more

Pengo is a great study cafe with a good amount of seating, free printing, and yummy drinks + desserts! They also have cute trinkets near the cashier for purchase along with claw machines. We got the Ube Oreo brûlée, banana matcha oat and the chocolate coin dessert. We were surprised by how much we liked the drinks! The banana matcha was a perfect blend as I could taste both the banana and matcha flavor, while I enjoyed the strong ube flavor and consistency of the brûlée. Though do beware that they sprinkle some nuts on top of the matcha drink. The dessert was great too as the breading was like a mochi texture. Will be back when in the area! read more

I came here looking for a place to study and as expected ended up staying way longer than planned. Because this place is literally perfect for getting work done! Pengo Drink Station has a really comfortable setup. Plenty of seating, outlets everywhere, and even USB ports. I loved that the WiFi password was literally on the wall. Small detail but so thoughtful. I ordered the strawberry matcha with crystal boba and a banana coffee. Both were generous in portion and actually balanced. Not overly sweet and not drowning in ice. The matcha was smooth and the coffee definitely gave me a kick. For food, I tried the strawberry croffle and graham cracker croffle. A croffle is basically a croissant waffle. Crispy outside, fluffy inside, and perfect as a light snack while studying. I'd recommend eating it in store since it can get soggy if you take it to go. It's also really close to Saddleback College, which makes it a great option if you're a student or just need a chill spot to focus. Overall, solid drinks, good food, and a great environment to get work done. read more

Definitely worth trying, the service was also phenomenal! read more

Loved this place! The staff were super kind and helpful, and the vibes are great. I got the golden cheese coin waffle -- so good, crispy outside and soft inside with that perfect cheesy bite. I was so sad I didn't get to try the Crocffle (yes, a croissant waffle shaped like a croc ) but that just gives me an excuse to come back. The popcorn chicken was fine -- more like chicken nuggets than the Taiwanese-style popcorn chicken I expected, but still tasty enough to snack on. Drinks were awesome though -- I got the pumpkin brûlée topping on their Thai green milk tea and a banana coffee. Both were so good -- sweet, creamy, and super flavorful. Also love that they're open late, so it's the perfect spot to study, chill, or grab a late-night drink and dessert. Definitely coming back to try that Crocffle next time read more

I am happy to say that I was one of the 10 winners for Pengo's last Instagram contest (and have been lucky enough to win others in the past). I came to collect my prize and was really excited. The employee was less than enthusiastic...it would have been nice for her to say "congratulations" or made it a little more exciting. I expect they were busy and maybe it was the end of her shift or something. I have always loved Pengo, hence the 5 stars. They have multiple very inviting locations that are total hangout spots. This location has a print station, since it is close to the local community college. It was all decorated for Christmas, which is appreciated. Lots of cute decor throughout the entire store. It's a pretty spacious spot with indoor and outdoor seating. The parking lot is a little tight, but there is another parking spot around the corner. I normally order ahead on their app, and they have a loyalty program as well. It did take a bit longer to get my drinks by ordering at the counter, but it probably also depends on the time of day. Last thing to mention is that I've always loved the Heavenly Bliss tea. It used to have large amounts of fruits, like big slices, and now the fruit is cut up very small. I'd love to see it go back to how it once was. Regardless though, I've been a customer several years and will continue to be. Overall great vibes and delicious food and drink options at Pengo!! read more

Tried the Ube Matcha, Oreo Matcha, and Brown Sugar Matcha -- all super tasty and beautifully layered. The flavors blended perfectly, especially the ube and matcha combo which hit that sweet-earthy balance just right. And the Coin Dessert filled with matcha and chocolate? Easily one of the best desserts I've ever had. Warm, gooey, and ridiculously good. The space here is super chill -- lots of room, outlets, and even a printer setup which makes it great for students or anyone needing a cozy study spot.

10/5 's We absolutely loved stopping by Pengo to grab a quick bite and sweet treat after studying! Only 20 minutes from UCI and right next to Saddleback, this spot is super spacious, lively, and had so many fun details. For all the students searching for new study spots, Pengo has lots of parking, seating, outlets, AND free printing. The staff are friendly and quick which especially added to our experience! We can't wait to visit again~ cheesy crokffle ~ our personal favorite!! we did not expect to like this, but the sweet waffle with the mozzarella and cream cheese was an amazing combo matcha nutella waffle ~ so delicious and the perfect sweet treat! this reminded us of taiyaki spicy cheesy fries ~ I love spicy food and these fries were perfectly seasoned with cheesy powder that had a slight kick popcorn chicken ~ can't grab boba without popcorn chicken! the perfect addition to our spread strawberry matcha & matcha einspanner ~ and of course we had to grab matcha as well, these drinks had an amazing color and were surprisingly good ! read more

This place was such a hidden in the wall gem and I was so glad there was one nearby work, but far enough away from all the other Asian competitor boba shops. This spot had the perfect amount of customers and also great quality! It's the holiday season so their ambiance had a brightness and jolly to it. They do have mugs and cute figurines for sale and it does look like they have those throughout the year. I ordered the mango madness, house special coffee, tiramisu croffle, and teddy graham croffle because I couldn't decide which of the two I wanted. Although it's late fall/early winter when I went, it was still relatively warm so the mango madness hit on the right spot with its refreshing mango bits and chia seed. Their house special is a Vietnamese coffee made in house with a sweet cream on top. It was perfectly sweeten and bold for my taste. I will probably come back to try their matcha drinks since they do make those in house with high quality matcha ingredients. Finally, both croffle are made to order and can take around 10 minutes or so. But they were so worth waiting! The croffle itself had a perfectly crunchy texture and soft mochi like texture on the inside. The tiramisu came with concentrated coffee on the side that you could add according to your liking. The teddy graham reminded me of my childhood when I had the graham crackers as a kid for snack. Both had perfectly sweetened whipped cream and was perfect in their own way. I definitely will be coming back! read more

I was surprised at how big this spot was, with plenty of seating available and even a back corner where people were studying. You can order from the kiosks or from the person working At the time that I visited, I was craving something fruity, so I got their Deep Blue Beauty (raspberry, lime, mint, chia seeds, and sparkling water) and it was perfectly tart and refreshing. I also got their s'mores bar which was really good, sweet, and made me want to make my own lol. My drink was a little pricey at around $7, but I feel like that's becoming the norm for a lot of boba/drink spots, unfortunately. I would go back to try their other menu items, they even have food/snacks available which is cool. read more

Yesterday around 3 pm I stopped to try this place. Two girls were working. Both were around 20-25 years old. One had 2 long braids in her hair. I say that because they would not give me their names when Asked. The girl treated me awful. I asked the code for ladies room and she gave me 4 numbers. I kept trying over and over and going back and asking, are you sure that's the right code? It's not working. And they would just roll her eyes at me. So the third time I went back to them the girl with the braid said oh we have to push lock after the four digit number. I said oh. Thank you you didn't tell me that in the beginning. So I went and tried it again and it still didn't work. I asked for her name and they wouldn't give me her name. They were snotty to me they were not kind and definitely. The service was horrible there. I would never go back. read more

Pengo has so many drink selections and different moderations and boba you can add to your drinks! I recommend the banana drinks.
