Outstanding! Absolutely wonderful food. I had the fish pie, it was super tasty and wholesome. The potato bake as a side dish was excellent with other grilled vegetables in top. Can't wait to come back and the other dishes on the menu.
Good pie and coffee. Good information for local attractions. Five years ago we discovered Sandfly Bay walk from the owner. This year the road to Sandfly Bay was closed, but we got Allans beach from the owner and we found several sea lions there. Very friendly and helpful.
Very good coffee options, true Kiwi hospitality, friendly staff and amazing slices! By the way the only open caffe in Portobello in the mornings. The amazing view is a free bonus and plenty of parking makes the things even easier.
Good cheese rolls and coffee, great view of dunedin peninsula
We got the cheeseburgers which were nice and for $14 it was a really good price for such quality burgers. Well worth the stop.
Nice service. Good coffee. Very good fresh pies!
Good place and pleasant atmosphere and staff with great service and the chef was amazing and quick
Great, delicious food and very generous portions - great value. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Location is also wonderful and has a nice view of the harbour. We look forward to returning next time we're in Dunedin.
Compliments to the chef who did an amazing job with our orders (pretty much customized it to our liking) and coffee was also very good. We were pleasantly surprised on the low prices considering the high quality (which can be an impossibility in Auckland sometimes). Please make sure you stop here if
Coffee was fresh and hot. Food is simple and very well done. You don't have a hundred options, the staff are real people. There is a cupboard full of toys for the kids and a high chair. We loved it. Thanks Penguin Cafe.
Really nice family ran cafe on the way up the peninsula. We ordered a chai latter and cappuccino. Both were delicious. Also grabbed the French toast which was very filling and good value for money. There is a cute bird who comes into the store to hang out. Very homely place and would recommend.
Amazing customer service, the owners were friendly and made us feel so welcome. The food was delicious, highly recommend the big breaky! Great sized portions and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.
Run by a pleasant older couple. Currently for sale. Everything is ok without being tops. Toilet outside is a bit basic. Nice outside seating options and inside kept warm on cold days. Very reasonable prices and usually have good homemade options on the daily specials. They do excellent gluten free t
Outstanding service, fresh food, warm and hospitable staff/owners. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal - the homemade pies with a side of veges were really special. Thank you Penguin Cafe :)
Great place to eat or have coffee! The food is delicious and the staff is super nice! Everything is homemade and served with a big smile! :-) If you're having a break in Portobello, I totally recommend this place.
After visually checking out the few eating places in Portobello we chose Penguin Cafe and were very happy we did. It has a nice atmosphere (inside and out), very pleasant staff, and the breakfast dishes we chose were every bit what a full-on breakfast should be. The other food we saw on tables and
