I searched high and low for Italian ice and stumbled across Vampire Penguin. My daughter and I had a fun little date here! While it's not Italian ice, it's like shaved ice cream and shaved sorbet. We got strawberry lemonade. It was so good and very light on the tummy. They have a wide variety of flavors, and I can't wait to sink my fangs into more of them. You can customize your order however you like. My daughter couldn't even wait for me to take a picture before digging in and somehow she ate faster than me! The service was great, too. The cashier was incredibly friendly and let me take a picture of another one she had made. We'll definitely be back! read more

This was my second time at a Vampire Penguin; the first was in South Carolina. Our daughter asked us to stop in while we were in the area and the second time was even better than the first. The staff were so nice and polite. We each got something different, I got the Snow Thaiger, which was a Thai Tea snow with some condensed milk and Oreo crumbs. It was delicious. The shop is very clean with fun decorations befitting the Vampire Penguin aesthetic. It was very nice to sit and enjoy our treats inside. We look forward to coming back when we're back in the area. read more

If I could give more stars I would. Not only is the shaved ice yummy and they have so many flavors and not only is the ambiance so fricking cool; they have coloring pages for kids! But the best thing about this place is HANDS UP OR DOWN, the service, and the cookies. The owners had to have come from heaven or something my boyfriend loves chocolate chip cookies and he in turn has turned me into someone who likes to enjoy them, but this place, has turned me into someone WHO LOVES THEM. The wife (I am so sorry I forgot her name) makes THE BEST COOKIES OF MY ENTIRE LIFE. We will drive an hour and a half just to satisfy our chocolate chip cookies craving. This Easter she even made sugar cookies that were so professionally decorated and sooooooo fricking good. She doesn't use shitty ingredients that isn't needed and nothing about those cookies tasted artificial. Yesterday we called to see if we could have around 3 dozen chocolate chip cookies because yes they are that good idc what anyone has to say to the contrary. And sadly the wife wasn't in so I was only expecting my boyfriend to come back with the 9 they had left. But the husband put in the work for us and made us the cookies! So I was surprised with sooooo many! If that isn't excellent service idk wtf is. And to top it off they also had brownie cream pie cookies and when I tell you my taste buds had a party in my mouth. I am NOT over exaggerating. Oh my god it is so good. I'm not even a brownie person really but my good god. These brownie cream pie cookies are like worth participating in the purge for. I don't think I can ever quit sugar now. They deserve all the business in the world. She can take custom orders and catering orders but make sure you definitely call at least a week ahead because I'm not sure everyone will be as lucky as we were yesterday but these cookies need to be eaten EVERYWHERE. read more

This was quite a surprise...We truly enjoyed the dessert. It was different, refreshing and super tasty! "At Vampire Penguin, cool and sweet, Taro ice made for a lovely treat. We smiled, we snacked, we felt the chill-- But once was plenty, truth be still." ...I just don't know if I would go back for it. It was really good, don't get me wrong. Customer service was great. I just think it's a once in a while kinda thing. I LOVE shaved ice and they were open late which was super convenient. It was a clean, comfortable space as well. The dessert was plenty for two people to share. I think a different flavor combo would be nice to try as well. Definitely check it out if you have a sweet tooth and you're in the area. You won't be disappointed! Another review giving it to you straight no chaser from Elizabeth S. aka The Hungry Poet! -Enjoy read more

This place is so good we went two days in a row! It's super finely shaved so it melts in your mouth. The flavors are great and the people are super nice! It does get very busy so you have to be patient but it's really good! Especially if it's a hot day. It is a tad bit expensive but it's a good treat read more

This awesome spot is tucked into a quieter part of the Home Depot lot. We really enjoyed chatting with the owner. She was friendly and helped us make our picks. There was ample seating, coloring items for little kids, clean bathroom, and yummy treats. The treat isn't ice cream but it isn't an icee either. Unique find! We learned there are around 30 locations across the US. Definitely worth a stop! read more

I am in LOVE with this place! The snow fluffy and sweet and unlike anything I have had before. It's a symphony of flavor, low-calorie, and light on the stomach. These light and refreshing desserts come in so many pre-made combos but you can also make your own! The owners were very fun, accommodating and lovely to chat with. The decor, ambiance, music and vibe was fabulous and decorated perfectly to match their adorable theme. We will absolutely be coming back, and fell in love at first sight! You NEED to give this hidden gem a try!! read more

Wow! The "shaved snow" is so tasty with a unique texture. I tried a regular orange snow just to try the shaved snow and I was shocked how much fresh orange flavor came through without syrups. I'm definitely interested in trying some of the larger creations but the regular orange snow was sweet, light and refreshing. The service was fantastic and explained the shaved snow concoctions. There was indoor and outdoor seating. The inside provides enough room for a line but we stopped at an off time, so it was very easy to order and enjoy! I've never tasted anything like it and it was delicious. I highly recommend. read more

Vampire Penguin = Snowy Sweet Heaven We finally made the trek to Vampire Penguin and WOW -- worth every minute of the 30-minute drive! My wife, two kids, and I went full snow-mode and tried: Churro Birthday Cake Mint Chocolate Aba Daba Do! Banana Cream Pie Every. Single. One. Was. STUNNING. Like--can't-put-your-spoon-down, "wait, don't eat mine!" kind of good. The flavors were creative, the texture was that perfect fluffy snow, and the presentation? Instagram-worthy. The owner was super welcoming -- explained all the options with the enthusiasm of someone who clearly loves what they do. It made the whole experience even better (plus the kids were instantly fans). Pro tip: Don't leave without checking out the bathroom. Yes, the bathroom. Just trust me. Honestly, if this place were any closer, my diet would be absolutely doomed. Vampire Penguin, thank you for the sugar rush and snow-day smiles. We'll be back -- probably sooner than we should be. read more

Definitely not what I expected in the BEST WAY! We came for my 10 year old son who got a PBC, my husband and I decided to get our own as well. I had a coffee toffee and my husband had a milk and cookies. I was expecting shaved ice that tasted like nothing with toppings. We were all pleasantly surprised when the shaved ice was a very light, snowy consistency and tasted shockingly good. We live in Palm City and I definitely wish it was closer. We will be back! read more

Super unique, delicious, and light. There are so many cool combos and it was great. I got the polar peppermint and I was so pleasantly surprised read more

Never even knew this gourmet shaved ice was a thing. Fluffy shaved ice covered in flavorful deliciousness! As soon as we walked in I thought the place was super cute. It was clean and nicely decorated. The bathroom was so nice and had fun penguin art all over the walls. The owner gave us the new experience explanation about how the ice is infused with different flavors and then shaved to a super fine fluffy snowy dessert. There are different flavored ices that go with their various dessert combinations. I went with a super yummy vanilla shaved snow with butterfinger pieces, whipped cream, cocoa powder, caramel and chocolate sauce. It was actually a light dessert and didn't make me feel oversugared. I really enjoyed this place and hope I can visit again. read more

Don't go to vampire penguin unless you want to have a new obsession!! We went on a whim and now have to keep going back we love it so much!! Tons of choice and everything I've had there is delicious. I would highly suggest if it's your first time getting the plate of 3 ice creams so you can try them out. Personally, I like it better than ice creams since it's lighter and fluffy. read more

I first tried the one in PSL and while I'm not a fan of snow cones, I really did enjoy the creativity of flavors and appreciated the creaminess of these desserts, it was delicious. However I was a bit disappointed as this location seemed watered down leaving a more "ice" taste as opposed to a creamier taste like I had at the PSL location. I tried to let the owner know but she was defined not open to any feedback, insisting that the recipes are made exactly. Yours tasted like ice, theirs did not...clearly something is amiss! I definitely see a difference in the photos of my desserts at both locations...I'm not the expert but perhaps use a touch less snow and you will have perfection! read more
