The Penguin

What a lovely cafe! I was taken back to find it so busy on a Friday afternoon but when I saw the great choices of baked goods, the affordable breakfast menu behind the counter accompanied by the smiling faces there too. Well it made perfect sense! Me and my friend enjoyed some delicious treats and drinks and even had some friendly chatter to the people next to us, being dog friendly too is a huge bonus to me! I'll be returning that's for sure for another earl grey and delicious cherry bun.

Quirky seafront cafe. A must for Penguin lovers. Dog friendly, seating inside and out. Happy helpful staff and tasty home style food. The breakfasts are excellent. If you’re having a cuppa don’t forget to have a generous slice of homemade cake. Delicious.

Nice sea front cafe. Great place for breakfast with a view. Family friendly. The staff are always very helpful. We had a little milk spill and the hostess, very kindly helped us out. The food was great and our hot drinks we spot on too. Definitely going again 😃

Normally try somewhere different for breakfast each week and this week was the Penguin cafe. The cafe had a really nice atmosphere, staff were great, food served quickly and great quality. Will definitely be returning.

Very friendly staff and the best latte I’ve ever had

Penguin cafe is the place to go for breakfast and bacon butties. If the weather is nice sit outside and soak up the sun. Been coming here for years and always stop off on a bike ride.
Rocky road is good! Staff are always friendly and helpful even when I walk in like a drowned rat when it's raining.

I've been here for 15 years and always makes the best breakfast. shame about price of the emperor breakfast going from just under £10 to £13 now but its worth it

Excellent service today at the Penguin cafe. It was very busy but Michelle, the girl that took our order was extremely polite and a credit to this business. The food was delicious as always and we wouldn't go anywhere else when visiting Lee On Solent

Fantastic service as usual and best bacon rolls we have had so far. Thankyou

Love this cafe. Breakfast is always so nice. Service is great.

Start your day with one of the six varieties of English breakfast: Big, Vegetarian, Small, Penguin, Posh or Emperor. Coffee/Tea included.

Great coffee ☕ friendly people and great service

Great food. Friendly helpful staff. Several options for vegetarians. Dog friendly. It seems to always be busy here, which must mean they are good.

This is our favourite place to take our dog. Lovely friendly cafe with good basic food. Very dog friendly and after a long walk Buddy likes nothing more than to settle down to a 'dog sausage'.

Great cakes and good range of cafe food at good prices

We come here for one of the English breakfast choices quite regularly. Food is good. The chef there is one of the few that can cook a fried egg to my liking i.e. the white cooked and the yolk runny. Uncooked white makes me heave.

Nice little cafe by the sea.
Lovely well cooked breakfast, friendly staff good coffee 👍

Today, I had the pleasure of visiting The Penguin with my family. The service was impeccable, and the staff was friendly and attentive. A must visit cafe if you're visiting Lee on Solent

Another super all day breakfast at the Penguin Cafe in Lee. They do gluten free bread, sausages, hash browns and cakes. Another lovely surprise is not having to pay a surcharge for gluten free: their mon-fri six piece £5 breakfast is the same price for gluten free, same goes for their set breakfasts 😊. Added bonus: friendly staff and a great music soundtrack. Thanks Penguin!
