    Regular but far from ordinary Butterfinger

    Ate next door but saw this new and adorable lil penguin in a bow tie and had to investigate. You've seen shaved ice places but you've never seen a place that the flavors are frozen already inside the shaved "snow". Over 15 different flavors of snow and just as many toppings, "did I mention the 7 drizzles that can top them... the varying combinations are mind staggering. Alex told us the special freeze process to get the lightest tastiest snow around.... It was so good, it'll make ya push your granny in the creek! (Please don't push granny in the creek, it's good but no pushing!!)

    100% RECOMMEND price wasn't expensive No it's not cake Yes it looks like it. For 200+ calories and such a delicious sweet flavor. YEA! I will be going back and trying the other soooooo many flavors they have! For everyone! If you're looking for a LIGHT melt in your mouth snack. Then yes! I've been wanting to come here for a while and finally had some time and was on the other side of woodruff . I am incredibly happy we stopped in. The service was good as they brought out our meal to us in minutes from when we used the self checkout machine. Which was fine cause I could see the menu better. It was quiet as there was only 2 other people in there. A quick pickup eat and go .

    Our absolute favorite dessert place! My 13yr old and me got a late night craving for some VP, so had a 9pm dessert date. We couldn't decide on our flavors so we each got one and then one to share. We got the strawberry lemonade to share. I got birthday cake and he got sour berry blast. Strawberry lemonade is his new favorite! All were good, but banana cream still remains as my all time favorite. The owner came up and talked to us and even offered us a free sample of his favorite flavor- Taro. YUMM!

    Met the owner and he was EXTREMELY HELPFUL I chose the Mexican candy and it was only 150 something calories.. gotta love that. This dessert is substantial and TASTY! Did I mention it's less calories than a Twix bar?? You have to stop by.

    So much fun! Remember eating "snow cream" as a kid. This brings me back to happy memories. The staff is very friendly and place was clean. Great choices. Next time I think we will try the "snow"flight. 4 different snow treats to try.

    I can't believe how good this place was! I don't know how to explain the texture, but you have to try it! Shaved snow is my new favorite ice cream alternative. The owners were very nice, patient, & accommodating even when we showed up 10 minutes before closing time. We will definitely be back!

    First time trying Vampire Penguin. This was a cool experience to have. The inside dining area had cute decorations and the service was fast. At first , when you go to scoop you expect a texture similar to ice cream but it's shaved ice! Will definitely stop by again when I'm town.

    One on the very right is the banana split, next to it is mint chocolate, slightly to the left is the green jacket, last one is peanut butter

    Not very good and the service was subpar. Won't be back. Go get real Ice cream instead because this is a let down.

    If you've ever wondered if premium soft serve ice cream was a thing or want to try it out, it's…read moreworth visiting to see yourself! To my knowledge, this is the best soft serve ice cream you can try out in Greenville SC. They only have vanilla, chocolate, and a flavor of the week. The variety is what you'd expect in any good ice cream shop. In addition to toppings and sauce, their dough cones (also an original) can have a spread inside the cones as well. The nit picky catch I have is based on perspective. Soft serving ice cream is generally not an expensive purchase, but 2 ice cream cones costed $22. Not too different from what you'd get from a regular sized cone at another ice cream parlor, but it will certainly be a lot bigger than this should you prefer quantity. And because this is note worth, the inside is the cleanest ice cream shop in Greenville that I've been to. Crispy Cones is worth visiting though! Whether you are someone who wants to try something new with someone or your partner, or perhaps look to be a regular. *P.S. - Their "ice cream for dinner" merch looked nice and made from premium cotton for $25

    This place is awesome. I love the Crispy Cones. They have a different flavor every week. They…read morealways have vanilla and chocolate. You choose from different toppings like graham cracker, almonds, fruits, etc. The real star of the show is the actual cone. After you eat the scoop of ice cream on top you can pick up the croissant -like cone and eat it like an ice cream sandwich. I have been twice and enjoyed it very much. It is a small place. Very clean and bright. The workers answered all of my questions with no problems. I ordered online incorrectly but i was able to change my order in the store before they started working on it. Service was quick and easy.
