Vampire Penguin is what happens when a snowstorm crashes into Candyland and starts a dessert cultā¦.
We ordered the Coffee Toffee and the Special Mint Chocolate. Five bites in, I questioned every life choice that led me to eating normal ice cream before this.
The Coffee Toffee tasted like someone froze your favorite latte, added caramel, toffee bits, and whispered affirmations into it. Itās the kind of dessert that makes you check if theyāre hiring because you need to be closer to the source.
The Special Mint Chocolate? Oh, just a peppermint patty and a brownie doing synchronized swimming in a cloud. It was fresh, rich, and so fluffy it nearly floated out of the bowl.
The texture? Not ice cream. Not a snow cone. Itās a magical third thing. Like frosty fairy floss with a masterās degree in dessert engineering.
Inside, the shop is pure joy. Penguin art, cheerful chaos, and staff that treat you like you just walked into a family reunionāif your family only communicated through whipped toppings and good vibes.
Do I know what a vampire penguin is? No. Am I afraid of one showing up at my house and demanding a tribute of shaved snow? Also no. I welcome them. I am ready.

I donāt know what unholy sorcery was invoked to create Vampire Penguin Shaved Snow, but Iām officially a devoted follower. When I took a bite, I could hear distant, celestial penguin chants welcoming me into their frozen kingdom.
Letās break this down:
š Strawberry Cheesecake ā Listen, if a dessert could hold your hand and whisper sweet nothings, this would be it. Itās creamy, tangy, and just the right amount of indulgent. It might be dangerousāIām sure Iād betray my family for another serving.
šæ Mint Chocolateā The flavor equivalent of getting a fresh haircut and suddenly thinking youāre the coolest person alive. Refreshing, chocolatey, and somehow makes you feel slightly more sophisticated. I would recommend it as a palate cleanser, a mood booster, and a personality enhancer.
ā Polar Affrogatoā Less of a mystery, more of a comfort flavor that gets the job done. A nice little espresso-kissed snow moment thatās great for when you want to pretend you have refined tastes, but also really want dessert. Reliable. Smooth. It wonāt change your life, but it certainly wonāt disappoint.
If you havenāt been to Vampire Penguin Shaved Snow, youāre missing out on one of the most fantastic cult initiation ceremonies that involve spoons. Just go. Let the fluff...
Ā Ā Ā Read moregiving vampire penguin 10 stars instead of 5! when i visited, we were a family of 12 coming in to treat ourselves and most importantly for my sister who is a bride to be! the staff were very friendly and took their time with us to accommodate and explain how we can order from them. the cashier (sorry i didnāt get her name) was right when she was expressing about the shaved snow, no matter how we ordered, we would enjoyed the shaved snow and she was right! the shaved snow that all of us ordered was super tasty! i would definitely go back again if iām around the area (i came from broward) or hopefully you guys open a location in broward. the picture is mexican candy which is mango shaved snow with tajin, chamoy, strawberry syrup, pineapples and strawberry boba. i was delighted to try this as i was craving something fruity but i was not disappointed with this combination and the presentation of the shaved snow. i enjoyed it so much. first time experience was definitely not a miss. vampire penguin is the best and iād recommend this place to anyone i know, you wont regret...
