    Specialty coffees
    Deborah K.

    This place is so unique! It has a spooky vibe but not truly spooky. My favorite is the Victorian style seating nook. We enjoyed our iced and hot coffees. I had the butterscotch brew. But the items that really stand out are the shaved ice desserts. We three chose the most unique ones: the invisible mango, the taro root with ume, and of course had to try The Vampire Penguin. Indie authors visit each month and their books are sold here.

    This place is so cute! It's the perfect vibe. The inside is a little dark, but it compliments the decor nicely. The staff were very welcoming! We came for the snow, but we had to try one of their flavored coffees as well. Everything was absolutely delicious. I can't even describe the snow, but it was super flavorful while still being a really light dessert. I highly recommend!

    We hit up Vampire Penguin at-least once a week. It is our favorite spot for yummy but not overwhelmingly rich dessert! You can't go wrong with any of the snow options but the "But first coffee" and "Berity" are our go to's! Yes she place is small but they also have seating outside and we usually just sit out there!

    This is the walkway to the cash register front the front door which shows a book shelf off to the right.

    This business opened up only a few weeks ago and my daughter and I decided to visit. It's located in a good and easy to access location in the downtown area. When we went inside, it gave an old school coffee shop vibe with dimmed lights and bookshelves filled with books. The staff was really nice and helpful. The shaved ice was really good and so creative - they have all sorts of options and I believe I chose a banana pudding one. They all had clever names so I'm not sure everything that's in it. They have cool soda options too which is so fun. We will definitely go back!

    It's very yummy and a unique concept for the food, but I wish it was more of a happy ice cream shop feel rather than a dark "vampire bookstore" feel. I guess it just confuses me

    This is the coolest and most unique shaved ice place. Got the butter beer with the sugar free option. Tried the "Edgar Allen Snow". So unique but sooooo good. This is definitely a must try place.

    I have been here twice! The shop is so amazingly charming. A goth bookstore that sells snow! The snow is not nearly as heavy and filling as icecream. The flavors are endless and tasty. It's not for everyone. I took some young friends and we all loved it! Incredible asthetics! Friendly staff. Unique deserts!

    The shaved ice is delicious. The flavor seems to be in the ice itself not poured over it. You can customize your order or choose from a creative list of options that they have curated. The dirty sodas shouldn't be missed either! The butter beer was very tasty. Definitely worth trying if you're in the area.
