    Snow Thaiger (to-go) $7.99 10/10
    Malina C.

    This family owned business is serving up delicious Shaved Snow desserts and Dirty Sodas. Snow Thaiger: The Thai tea flavor is infused into the snow and tastes like an authentic Thai tea. Wasn't sure about the Oreo crumbles at first, but it wasn't bad. 10/10 Atomic Apple Dirty Sodas: Reminds me of the Sour Apple Slush from back-in-the-day TGI Fridays drink menu. IYKYK. I replaced the Mountain Dew with Sprite. The candy apple rings on top were a cute addition. I would have liked more cream (dirty), but overall it was really good. 8/10 Definitely will be back to try other flavors. They do have a strawberry lemonade snow on the menu but when I got to the register to order, I was told that the flavor wasn't available yet. Not sure why it was on the menu already and not covered. Also, it wasn't on the sold out flavor board neither, so that was kinda weird.

    My husband and I saw this place while driving by and holy smokes. Absolutely amazing! I don't even know where to begin! First bite review: 10/10 I got the chocolate covered banana snow(kids size) and it was not at all what I was expecting in the best way! It was so soft, the flavor of the banana snow with the chocolate and candy exploded in my mouth for a nice cool yummy flavor! They have so much to offer and the best customer service ever! It's nice and cool inside and they even have children's books and plushies! Come check this place out!

    We had an amazing experience at Vampire Penguin! The customer service was above and beyond. The staff was so friendly and even came back to check on us after we finished our desserts to make sure everything was perfect, which really showed how much they care. The shop was spotless with plenty of seating inside and outside, there were so many great menu options to choose from, and the shaved snow, desserts, and drinks were all top notch. We will definitely be back!

    I've had Vampire Penguin bookmarked for a while and was patiently waiting for them to open. They're in the same plaza as Scramblers right next to Kulturas and by the Starbucks. They finally opened on June 12th. If you're familiar with the area, this spot used to be Cream previously. They have various locations but this is the first one in Southern California! They're known for their shaved snow and dirty sodas and is exactly what we ordered. It's so cute inside and they have a couple chairs set up where you can take photos. Last Sunday, my husband got the Very Berry and I got the Mocha Latte. The snow is literally so soft. They use their OWN syrups for the shaved snow and the more common syrups like Torani and DaVinci for the drinks. We both loved it and then we got a couple dirty sodas, peach and raspberry. It's family run and owned which is awesome. Definitely worth it for a nice treat. My husband literally could not stop talking about it so on Thursday after work we came again. This time we shared the Peach Cobbler. Wow I really liked that one!! Will order it again for sure.

    This place came up on my social media and we wanted to come and support a new local business. We called in advance to ask about Summer hours because online indicated that it closed at eight 8 PM. However, when I called, they said they were open until 10 PM. We arrived close to 9:15 PM and were greeted immediately as we walked in by a friendly young lady. They have one main sign that list a few options and the other two screens have specials cycling every few seconds. So, it does require patience and attention. Here's what we ordered. Horchata: 9/10 delicious and loved the crunch factor of the toast cereal. Melon: 8/10 my husband liked it but it tasted artificial to me. A pineapple blueberry (I forget the name): 8/10 this was on the sweet end for me. Prices are a little on the high end as we paid $33 dollars for the three and mine was a kid size and the other two were the medium size. They do offer a rewards program and is refreshing. They do offer dirty sodas and boba drinks. After ordering, we sat outside where they offer corn hole and a Jenga set. There are a few tables to sit outside and have a couple inside. Even after they dropped off our order, they came back to ask us about our experience and asked for honest feedback. Loved the mere fact that they wanted to make sure our experience was exceptional. Overall, we will definitely be back! Giving 4/5 starts due to price point.

    Are you craving for shaved snow dessert? Then this is the spot for you. Ordered Horchata Snow - it comes with Horchata Snow, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Graham Cracker Crumbs, Condense Milk with Caramel Drizzle. Mmmm! It was so delightful. It was light and airy, too. I love it how it just melts in your mouth. Service was awesome. Ambiance is cute with Vampire spooky theme. They have tables outside and inside. Plenty of parking space in the lot. I will definitely come back.

    OMG! The desserts here are to die for... we had the Pina Colada, the Banana Pudding and the S'mores! Absolutely delightful! The snow is expertly flavored and so refreshing on a hot day!!

    Matcha green tea Shaved cone flavor with strawberries and whipped cream
    Joel S.

    Me and a friend both stopped in to check out this place. Heard about it from other local foodie influencers and wanted to try something good! We both walked in and was greeted by both Marcus and Allison, mother and son duo that runs the place. Very very nice people! Love the hospitality there. They have a wide variety of Shaved snow flavors to choose from and also other desserts as well like milkshakes and even bubble waffles. Follow their IG pages to see all the goodies they offer! Take a picture and hang on the customers wall! The matcha green tea flavor i got was very delicious and i highly recommend for all you matcha lovers. Comes with strawberries and whipped cream. Delicious! They also have a nice outside dinning area as well if u wanna eat outside and hangout.

    Strawberry cheesecake

    Excellent, amazing, beyond delicious It was not what I was expecting it was 1000 times better. I'm the type that can't have super sweet and this was perfect..... service was friendly and caring of our needs. My son gave it a thumbs up he loved it. Come down and try it. Many flavors still to try can't wait.

    The peach cobbler has become my favorite snow dessert at this place! Everyone was very friendly and the things they had to look at were funny. Definitely a place I'd come back to where I can come escape the heat and enjoy a nice cold dessert. 10/10

    Banana cream snow! It was a party in my mouth.
    Ricky W.

    I came to Vampire Penguin for dessert and left genuinely confused--in the best way possible. I ordered the banana pudding shaved snow, and wow... it was unreal. The shaved snow literally melts on your tongue like fresh powder--light, fluffy, and smoother than ice cream. The banana slices, creamy topping, cookie crumble, and pudding flavor all came together perfectly. It tasted indulgent and nostalgic all at once. What really blew my mind was how satisfying it felt without the usual heavy sugar crash afterward. I'm not exaggerating when I say I walked out feeling like I could go straight to the gym and crush a workout. On top of that, I really enjoyed meeting the owners, Suzanne and Marcus. They were incredibly warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about creating a great experience. You can feel the care they put into both the product and the atmosphere. How does something taste this decadent but feel this light? Pure sorcery. Vampire Penguin isn't serving shaved ice--they're serving edible clouds. Highly recommend.

I believe Andrea even asked my wife about our color scheme so they could match it with the table cover they used for their station (little details we really appreciate and shows their attention to detail). Communication was seemless and my wife never had any issues getting in contact with Andrea. The syrups and house cream were delicious!! Myself and several guests came back for round 2 lol. My wife and I were going to hire Hula Tang Hawaiian Shave Ice for our party, but they were unavailable for the day we needed. My wife found Bluebanana Hawaiian Shave Ice and we did not look back. We would definitely hire them again. As stated above, Brandon and Elizabeth were awesome. They had great attitudes, very professional, served the Shave Ice with a smile and were very kind to my guests. Thank you so much!!

One thing that must be mentioned is they have $3 drinks EVERYDAY on certain drink items. That is an amazing deal!

I've also tried chengdu zajiang and the sour pickled mustard with shredded pork, the stir fried potatoes, and the chicken with chili sauce. All dishes were excellent.
