Vampire Penguin

Delicious and has sugar free options.We got the pirate punch which is seasonal.. so yummy!

Cute shaved snow spot with tons to choose from. 20 snow flavors and over 25 toppings on their menu! There are also menu recommendations if you're like me and didn't know what to get. Friendly staff to help you choose by asking what you like. I got the strawberry shortcake and added on the cheesecake bites at the suggestion of the person who took my order. The regular size is the perfect size for one person. It had lots of sliced strawberries but couldn't find the cheesecake bites! Texture was still great due to the graham cracker crumbles. They also serve specialty drinks def worth coming back to try next time.

As soon as we walked in we were greeted by 2 friendly employees. They gave my toddler a sticker of choice, and coloring sheet to entertain him while I ordered and we waited. I thought this was a nice touch. We ordered the Sweet tooth, Snow Thaiger and Mexican Candy. All were delicious and were shared among myself, my husband and toddler. We each had a different favorite. My favorite was Mexican Candy. It was lighter and refreshing tasting since it was fruit based unlike the others. My husband's favorite was Snow Thaiger. He enjoyed the condensed milk in it and the flavor combo which included crushed Oreos. My toddler's favorite was the sweet tooth. He liked the whipped cream and marshmallows in it. I think this is a fun and tasty family outing for all ages.

Fun little place tucked away over Brandon. Next a couple of nice little restaurants that we go to. Vampire penguin is really good little twist on dessert. In the area John Moore and Bloomingdale I'm stopping and give it a try. I'll give it a 8.1 will be back to try some more.

Came in after dinner at the Dirty Byrd. They have plenty of options but we left the kids choose this time around which they decided on the sweet tooth and we got the snow thaiger. But we're really good but we also tried the strawberry and wow that is definitely our new favorite it's so light and has the perfect strawberry flavor.

Who didn't love the little penguins. We love to take the picture with the penguin and friends. This store usually at New Port Richie. Now they are at Riverview. We got the special not in the menu as Season Tropical plate. This is a mango shaved snow ice with five different fruit and toppings. Although is got. I prefer the building your own three toppings. Overall flavor is good. Fruit is a bit Sapir for dessert.

The sign had been up for what seemed like forever. It's only been open for a couple of months. I didn't get a chance to try it until a couple of weeks ago. Maybe I should just start by saying that all my Yelp friends were absolutely right about Vampire Penguin. They said I would love it, and I do. I originally thought it would be like Hawaiian shave ice. It's not anything like it. The only similarity is that it's light, and it melts in your mouth. Their shave snow does not come from a block of ice water. These are frozen dessert bases made with vanilla, tea, coffee, peanut butter, taro, or natural fruit flavors. The base is shaved into super thin ribbons, and then formed on your plate. The toppings and sauces are added to make it your own, or you can choose one of their signature concoctions. They have 2 sizes. I chose the regular size for both visits. It was more than enough. If you're having trouble deciding on a flavor, then you can go with a flight of 3 different flavors. They also have specialty drinks called potions.I initially ordered the Snow Thaiger. It really does taste like Thai tea, but not as sweet. It's so light and airy, and melts in your mouth. The Oreo cookie crumble went very well with it. I looked at the menu again and noticed that the Halo Halo and Dulce de Leche desserts come with flan. There was no way I could write a review without trying the flan. Well, today's visit was even better. I went with the Dulce de Leche. I love the vanilla snow! Some would say it's basic, but I love vanilla. It actually has bits of vanilla bean in it. The sliced banana was fresh and beautifully presented. I was keeping my expectations low on the flan. I didn't want to be disappointed. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that it was a deliciously smooth & creamy flan de vainilla. I later found out that their flan and cheesecake are sourced locally. How awesome is that? It's great knowing that they truly care about the quality of their ingredients. The staff is patient and helpful. There's plenty of seating. The interior is cool and relaxing. The treats are refreshing and light for Florida weather. What more can I say?

Great service. They were very patient while we figured out what we wanted. They brought out our order to our table and even gave us some stickers! The shaved ice is so soft and fluffy. It's not icey. I won't get "snow cones" at other places because it's not good. Here, I was considering ordering a second one. I got strawberry shortcake without the flavored drizzle. The condensed milk is all I wanted. It was delicious, so soft, and perfect. I can't wait to go back. There are several tables and high tops to sit and enjoy your cold treat on these very hot Florida days. This is located in the same plaza of Urban Air.

Promptly greeted with a smile. Comfortable bench seating along the length, and metal chairs for everyone else! Lots of seating with 11 tables to spread out with your friends and family. Charging stations are available along the bench side of the seating for anyone who wants to work away from the home office (with usbC and usb options). Ordering was easy with build your own options as well. The shaved ice texture is perfect! Smooth and creamy like Korean bingsoo... not icy like the competitors. I'd come back!
