Their coffee is delicious. Their food is just as great! I’ve tried their avocado toast (best one I’ve had), their bacon brioche sandwich is delicious, but I wasn’t as impressed with their vegan burrito. I highly recommend the bacon brioche sandwich and avocado toast to literally everyone though. I’ve tried a lot of their drinks and they were all really good, but I think my favorite is the Honey Lavender Love with almond milk so I just stick to that. The London Fog is a really smooth drink that is super light on the coffee taste, so if you like fun drinks without the heavy coffee taste that’s a super great choice. All in all, a great place to get a quick coffee or have a small fun date.

Second time coming here, and absolutely love it! Awesome decor, friendly staff, polite patrons, and delicious drinks. I had the ube latte sugar free and it was perfect. They are keto/diabetic/vegan friendly and an all-around great place for meeting friends or relaxing. 10/10 ♥️

Went with a friend to try this place and it was such a cute spot. Ordered the honey lavender love iced coffee and the avocado toast. The avocado toast was very flavorful and I liked how it was topped with an egg. The coffee was good, I’d want to go back to try the other speciality drinks. There was a good seating inside for small and larger groups. It was nice and relaxing inside.

First time here. Iced Charlie Brown and hot spanish latte...so delicious! Such a cute spot and better than the regular chain coffee choices. Will definitely be back whenever in the area.

My mom and I recently visited the Dirty Pinguin in Chino Hills after our trip to Los Angeles, and it turned out to be a delightful coffee shop stop. As we stepped inside, we were immediately captivated by the chic ambiance that surrounded us. The interior design was truly on point, creating a cozy yet trendy atmosphere. Upon glancing at the menu, I couldn't resist trying their Mocha Latte, and boy, was it a delightful choice! The rich and velvety blend of coffee and chocolate was a perfect treat for my taste buds. The Mocha Latte was undoubtedly a highlight of our visit, earning a well-deserved 10 out of 10 rating. The Dirty Pinguin takes pride in serving organic donuts, and while they were a commendable effort, they didn't quite become my personal favorite. However, the fact that they offer organic options adds a wholesome touch to their offerings, appealing to health-conscious customers. One of the standout features of this coffee shop is their dedicated play area for small children. This thoughtful addition allows parents to enjoy their coffee while keeping an eye on their little ones. My mom was especially thrilled with the opportunity to snap selfies against the stylish backdrops that adorned the shop, making our visit a fun and memorable experience. In summary, our visit to the Dirty Pinguin was a wonderful post-Los Angeles coffee break. The Mocha Latte was a definite winner, the ambiance was chic and inviting, and the play area and backdrops added unique touches that set this coffee shop apart. While the organic donuts didn't quite match my taste, the overall experience was a resounding success, thanks to the exceptional coffee and welcoming atmosphere.

This is such a unique vibe and a nice low key place to relax, either on your own or with a couple of friends, or focus and get some quality work or study done. There is usually plenty of seating options depending on what you're looking for. One of my favorite spots for really good avocado toast and lots of variety when it comes to selection of drinks. I've been a few times and the menu changes up slightly which is nice to keep the food options fresh and add some variety. Although the location has more a of an industrial feel to it than the typical plaza or strip mall, it’s easy to find by following google maps and there is plenty of parking options. They have a play area and activities for parents who want to relax while spending some time with their kids and the clientele that comes here seems to be cognizant of not making too much noise. Service is always great! They’re polite and helpful with any questions. Service is pretty quick considering everything is made from scratch. If you want a coffee shop with a bit of a twist and a menu that’s not like the brand names, highly recommend you try the Dirty Penguin.

Amazing cafinated concoction, so delicious and they ask you how many shots you want!!! Love this place

My daughter Luna loved Jayla the young woman working today. She was so sweet Luna wanted to let the owners know, they are lucky to have someone working there who is so nice. Our first time coming today, the two of us just moved close by and we will be back! The food was excellent and Luna loved the Churro donut. She wanted to send Jayla a couple emojis 🦄💐🎄🌲👛🪭🪅🎎🪄🎁🪞🛌🚪🧴🛎️🪆🛍️🧸🪩🧧🪭🏮🎐🎉🎀🛒🖼️🪆🛍️🎏🎊🪅🎈🪟🧸🛌🎁🪞🪄🎎🪩📨📧💌

Didn't eat there but service was great good attitude from the staff ice coffee was great!! 👍

One of the cutest little coffee shops I've been to! The coffee is so good and the staff are so friendly. The food is okay - it's decent for what it is. The donuts are worth a try! But the coffee is great and they have so many options. Love it here!

This is my absolute favorite coffee shop in Chino, I always come here to get my work done and love the coffee the food and the vibes. Usually always super chill but whoever was in handling the music today (3pm) is doing a terrible job. Been coming consistently since November and it’s legit the worst playlist I’ve ever heard

📍Dirty Penguin Coffee in Chino Hills is such a super cute spot to grab coffee and a quick bite 🐧✨ They have donuts for a sweet treat 🍩 and the inside is SO fun and adorable — very aesthetically pleasing and perfect for taking cute pics 📸🤍 There’s plenty of seating, which makes it a great place to hang out, and they even sell rare plants inside 🌿🪴 (obsessed). I got the Biscoff iced coffee 🤎☕️ — it was good, but I did need it a bit sweeter for my taste, and the staff was so kind and helpful in getting it just right 🥹💛 Overall, I definitely recommend this spot and will 100% be going back to try more things ✨🐧💬

Mr. Chino Hills

The Dirty Penguin is hands-down the best coffee shop in Chino Hills. Their Honey Lavender iced coffee is absolutely delicious; refreshing, unique, and full of flavor. Beyond the drinks, the atmosphere is vibrant and full of energy, making it a perfect spot to get work done or simply enjoy the day. The staff is always welcoming and friendly, creating a warm and inviting environment that keeps you coming back. As a fellow Chino Hills business owner, it’s a true pleasure to acknowledge and celebrate the Dirty Penguin. They’ve created more than just a coffee shop; they’ve built a community hub where great coffee, great vibes, and great people come together.

Probably the best vegan donut I’ve ever had? They did the ube latte just right as well. Really cute cafe and friendly staff!

Yessybear

Loved this spot. So cute and spacious; the biscotti latte was great and their donuts?? Even better! Will defo come back.

Such a cute spot a little hidden inside a complex but the place is super cute ! Plenty of seating inside and tasty coffee options ! They even have food and vegan donuts !! Will have to come back and try other drinks and a donut but I’m just getting a sea salted caramel latte !! It’s delicious 🤤 a little on the sweet side though .

Daniel Sarmiento

Lovely little coffee shop for the hipster crowd. They literally serve avocado toast here and it tastes amazing. Their coffee is made well and there is a great variety of cold brews to choose from. The decor in the cafe is very trendy and there are outlets at most of the tables so that you can plug in your laptop and complete the vibe of this cafe. Service was friendly and we had a great experience here. Will definitely be back.

Visited this place for the first time yesterday and I must say that I may have found a new favorite coffee shop. The Honey lavender love I had was delicious! And the brioche bacon sandwich was just perfect. The atmosphere is also very nice and calm which I can appreciate while trying to wind down for a bit and enjoy my coffee. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

You won't find better coffee or people in Chino Hills, then the ones at Dirty Penguin. The coffee is amazing. They serve stumptown coffee and have a variety of flavors. The atmosphere is very modern and clean. It gives off a more hipster vibe, but it's very cozy and welcoming. Great place for brunch on the weekends as well. Come for a morning pick me up or bring some work and make a day of it. You won't regret it. Amanda and Taylor have made this a gem in Chino Hills.

we showed up right when they opened and they were happy to serve us. they have a pretty big menu and a lot of options including food as well. their customer service was welcoming and nice. although i don't have children i think it's cool they have a small section for kids. i would like to return after CoViD times and enjoy sipping coffee inside next to the plants they have for sale.

First time trying The Dirty Penguin and it was great! The ube latte was delicious, the staff were really friendly, the parking was easy, and the vibes inside were really chill. Definitely could come here to enjoy a fun coffee and get some work done.

Alice Wang

Always be one of my to go coffee place when I’m nearby. Ordered: Biscoffee latte this time ( yea I’m a huge biscoff cookie lover) love it! A little bit sweet for me but good!

Sam Whisenand

Such a great low key coffee place! Great food options and coffee, they even have specialty seasonal drinks pending on the season. They are also dog friendly which is a plus when I need to bring along my dog after the usual hike near by for some grub/drinks! Love the vibes inside and great customer service as well!

- Went here for refreshments after a hike at a nearby Chino Hills trailhead and the iced teas were definitely refreshing! - Commending also the avocado toast (not too salty) - Still got a nice view of Mt. Baldy inside the cafe - Staffs were kind and approachable - A very chill cafe w/ clean and sleek interiors

The Dirty Penguin is a hidden gem. PROS: The interior is incredibly stylish and and contemporary. Large area for various groups and/or solos to sit and enjoy. The decor was on-point. And for the beverages and food - great. Enjoyed an iced Vanilla latte (very smooth, creamy) and sipped on my significant other's order of a Pink Palmer (also very smooth and refreshing). We enjoyed a bagel & cream cheese, and an avocado toast (talk about a perfect egg on top, with delicious greens). Our stomachs were pleased. Plus, the service / staff were very friendly and professional. CONS: The only con was just the minimal confusion in finding the place, for a first time visit. The signage is not super eye-catching in size or location so just keep on the look-out; it's worth the find.

Best a little coffee shop, friendly staff.I ordered Latte and avocado toast , it's so good. It made me so relax , Love it

Unique flavors and drink options, tried the honey lavender love and it was mild on the coffee flavor but tasted good. Quick service! Spot is a bit hidden as it’s on the side of the building.

The first thing that jumps out about this place is how incredibly friendly the staff was. I loved how kind and helpful they all were. The decor is amazing and I wish I lived closer so I could come and work here. The coffee was great and I loved the Penguin mocha. The Little Penguin area is adorable and there is plenty of seating.

Tucked away in an industrial complex. Pay attention to the suite letters. I wished I'd ordered the avacado just like my daughter did. The vegan toast was not available. Otherwise, I would have ordered it instead of the brioche breakfast sandwich, which was so so. It's just a small hole-in-the-wall kinda place.

The place is big and spacious. The girl working looked like she was solo but she was very nice. The menu is easy to read and has lots of options to choose from. I chose the ube latte and tbh I was not a fan of it. I love ube so no this is not my first time trying it. I think for me it lacked on the ube flavor and just tasted a little watered down/milky.. The toasted coconut on top helps a little bit to give the drink some flavor but that's about it. Im not going to be super negative about this place because everything else was great. Will probably be back to try something different and see if i like it better

Jen

3.5/5 stars. Super cute ambiance. Lots of unique coffee flavors! Got the biscoffee (tasted like the biscoff cookies but weird texture because the crumbs ended up being soggy). I don’t recommend the avocado toast. It’s nothing special, and the arugula was overpowering

Kristal Dodd

The energy in this shop is unique, with the neon pink signs and relaxing vibe. I got the lox bagel, which was generously layered with salmon. I also got the ube latte, which had a depth to the flavor that I wasn't expecting. I definitely recommend this place for a fresh experience.

Josephine Shiau

Cute little place next to dental office. We have the bagel lox and one with schmear. Also had their chocolate with salt flakes donut. Food was simple but tasty. Will come back to try their coffee drinks

I think the atmosphere of The Dirty Penguin is great. It was quiet, and there were plenty of tables at 11 on a weekday. The avocado toast was a little expensive considering it doesn’t come with a protein besides the egg. I think the lavender toast is a more economical option and I intend to try it on my next visit. Also, they sell houseplants!

Has a kind of fussy vibe but I liked the fact they have a kids play area. Only had dark roast and it was burnt.

I like this place and the coffee is good. Above average for sure. But the service is ssslllooowww. Took 30 minutes for a cappuccino and avocado toast. Just keep that in mind when ordering. Otherwise it’s the best coffee in Chino Hills.

I had been here before, prior to the change in ownership, and since it’s close to my dentist, I decided to give it another try. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. Despite being the only customer in line, I wasn’t acknowledged or even greeted, not even a simple “I’ll be right with you.” Kinda greeting that you normally hear at busy coffee shops. I initially let it slide, thinking maybe the barista didn’t notice me. However, when she finally took my order, her attitude was unwelcoming. She looked like she was miserable working there! Anyhow, I ordered a Biscoff latte, but it was extremely watered down and lacked flavor. The place itself is spacious, with a few people working on their laptops, likely students or remote workers. Overall, it was not a great visit. I gave it three stars in hopes that when I return in a couple of months, I’ll have a better experience.

They don't restock the bathrooms with toilet paper or read out drinks that are ready or bring drinks to you.

The location is nicely decorated and has ample seating to enjoy a coffee shop atmosphere. The staff here is very rude and dismissive. The young lady who took our order was visibly irritated with the fact that we walked in and interrupted her gossip session with her coworkers. Her look of irritation continued as more people walked in to place an order, lol. While we were waiting for our drinks, another employee was leaving and stated "bye friend. I hope no one else comes in." Weird and rude statement to make while customers are inside the business. They should be thankful for the customers that keep purchasing coffee to keep the business afloat. The coffee was okay and no better than Starbucks or the other main coffee places. We more than likely will not go back.

Had the worst experience here today. From start to finish it was unbelievably horrible. The customer service was some of the rudest I've ever encountered and the food and coffee were both disgusting and overpriced. I was definitely lied to by the cashier about the vegan options as they definitely could have made me an actual vegan meal instead of claiming they were sold out of the vegan items and instead overcharging me to "veganize" a non vegan dish. It also smelled funky in the cafe and the cleanliness was definitely lacking! They are truly living up to the "dirty" part of their name! I would highly not recommend this restaurant to anyone, even my worst enemies. I want my money back asap.

I have been here several times with no issues, but today's visit left me a sour taste in the mouth. After ordering 2 drinks and waiting 10 -15 minutes, i noticed parties ahead of me walking out with their drinks. I asked the barista about our 2 coffees and she said someone maybe took them and she will re-make them now. She then proceeds to make them iced as to the hot as we ordered and then she has to make them again. The time it took from ordering to getting our drinks was close to 40 minutes which is crazy for 2 lattes while waiting with a 15 month old. I don't see myself returning any time soon in the foreseeable future.
