Pengo Drink Station is a Southern California-based handcrafted beverage brand serving fresh boba tea, fruit teas, smoothies, milkshakes, and specialty drinks across Orange County, with locations in Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, and Aliso Viejo. Founded by a team passionate about quality and creativity, Pengo has built its identity around being more than just a drink stop — it's a uniquely handcrafted experience designed to bring people together. Every drink at Pengo is made fresh to order, from signature oolong fruit teas like Mango Oolong and Strawberry Oolong, to the brand's popular "Sunshine" line of orange-based drinks blended with matcha or oolong. The menu balances classic boba shop staples with original creations, all crafted with real ingredients and an emphasis on flavor and presentation. Beyond the drinks, Pengo has cultivated a loyal local following thanks to its friendly, welcoming staff and lively in-store atmosphere — customers frequently highlight the fun, game-filled environment and the brand's signature reusable glass bottles, which come with a return-and-reuse discount incentive. This blend of great product and genuine hospitality has made Pengo a go-to hangout spot rather than just a quick beverage stop. As Pengo continues to grow across Orange County, the brand remains focused on its founding mission: pairing handcrafted quality with a warm, community-driven customer experience. The Pengo App extends that same experience into a convenient digital format, making it easy for loyal customers and newcomers alike to order, earn rewards, and stay connected with the brand they love.
