Vampire Penguin - Hurst — Restaurant in Hurst

If you're looking for something sweet but awesomely different this is the place! Their shaved ice infusioned with all things sweet is a refreshing change to the everyday shaved ice you would get at your average snow cone place! The choco-haulic, or shaved ice lover, and even the candy lover can get their fix here so its a MUST VISIT because this little gem of a business is FAR from average!

Its a great, new, and incredibly affordable type of treat for everyone in the family because nthe menu has something for everyone! The portions are huge also! We visited with 3 people and were able to share The Twix and it was more than enough for under $7!

Also, the owners are more sweet than their menu! Truly great people who love to share the story behind the unusual name!

Go! You won't be...

How do I even start this… If you’re looking for a male manager who leads with anger instead of respect, look no further. To be fair the snows were quite good themselves. I ordered a Buttery Penguin and loved it but wished it was a to go order. It’s hard to enjoy dessert when it comes with a side of intimidation. While waiting for my order, I watched as the manager (who I later learned is also the owner) scold a young employee over a minor mix-up with an order in front of customers. The poor young man looked scared. A good business doesn’t just rely on quality product — it relies on people. No matter how good the snows are, I won’t be coming back unless there’s a serious shift in management. This place has potential, but it desperately needs a cooler head behind...

Vampire Penguin is such a unique and fun take on a classic snow cone. My husband and I shared the Dulce’ de Leche snow and it was so decadent. The vanilla snow with the sweetness of the flan and caramel syrup balanced so well with the bananas. It was so delicious, I could eat it everyday. My daughters shared Candyland kids favorite. They devoured it, it truly was a kids dream dessert!

The staff was also very kind, they offered my girls stickers and interacted with them. This kindness goes a long way as most places and people don’t interact with the kids and only the adults.

We will definitely be...
