Crema's Take
“This independent spot in Laguna Niguel has earned devoted fans with creative drink combinations that go beyond the typical coffee shop menu—think ube matcha lattes, mango refreshers, and cookies and cream slushies served in charming cups that make Instagram-worthy moments feel effortless. The Ube Matcha has become so popular it sells out by evening, a testament to how carefully they're crafting flavors that balance creamy, earthy, and sweet notes. With a 4.8-star rating and over 1,000 reviews praising both the quality of their drinks and the friendly staff, Pengo delivers that rare combination of specialty beverages and genuine warmth that keeps people coming back.”

These drinks are so good and they come in cute cups.
Loved everything we tried here! The mango drink was super refreshing and fruity, cookies and cream slushy and the ube matcha was such a fun combo — creamy, earthy, and perfectly sweet. The shoes cheesy croffles were crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the popcorn chicken was flavorful and crunchy — so good! Definitely a cute spot to chill and grab some delicious drinks & snacks.
The Ube Matcha is a popular drink. It ran out by the time that I got here by 5pm so I got the Strawberry Matcha instead. Still a delicious drink. I finished it in its entirety. At some points I wondered if I was just drinking milk but there's a good strawberry matcha flavor. I appreciate how the wifi is displayed prominently at the front of the shop. You can also pay to paint some figurines of your choice. The cheezy croc is also fun to try at least once. It didn't have as much custard as I would have liked. Employees are willing to make adjustments if you request it.
The soft serve ice cream was pretty good. I wish the server had told me that a plastic cup is included in the price, instead of having me choose the cone for $1.50. Otherwise, it's all fun and good.
Yay, another pengo location with great drinks & friendly staff! Although this is a smaller location, this plaza has ample of parking. The interior could’ve used some work, the chairs are a little uncomfortable and the tables have no decor. I normally stay and hangout but the chairs are not inviting. Came on their grand opening day and the floors/bathroom were pretty dirty. I’m sure it’s been busy and hope this won’t be a common occurrence. **Customers should also do their part in respecting the place and keeping it clean. It really shouldn’t look like this on the first day if we all did our part. I need to come back and try the ice cream! 😃
