What an awesome place for a sweet treat with an incredibly friendly Dan!! The shave ice cream is light and fluffy with great toppings. We ordered the ice with brownies and then I had to have a bubble waffle. So glad we added it. Dan was kind enough to put toppings on our waffle. We are so happy we found this establishment. Go!

Extraordinary. It was very good to taste. Had the bob and fried Oreo. It was in a convenient spot in town

What a great dessert idea with amazing presentation and super nice owner. It's a fun little food spot with quite a wide array of items to choose from. We hit it up for dessert and it didn't not disappoint. Music for a vibe playing with board game for family fun. All the desserts were freaking spectacular too. read more

As soon as you walk in this place has an amazing energy about it, the employee who greeted me and helped me through my first experience was so friendly and helpful while also being the cook and other things. Inside youre jamming to nice music and there are games all over, as well as places to sit with nice light coming in from outside. I have to say the gentleman who helped me really went out of his way to make sure i got exactly what i wanted, down to what type of chocolate i like for my shake if sweet or dark Customer service like that really goes a long way. I ended up ordering a chocolate overload shake with some chicken and waffles which were top notch 9/10! Will be back and so should you! read more

Very creative deserts. You will not be disappointed. Great addition to New Port Richey.

The name intrigued us along with their dessert descriptions. I don't know how to lose to explain this other than amazing. Like melt in your mouth goodness. We ordered the s'mores plate and I could eat a second one! Wish they had a location closer to us but this is worth the drive. If you are in the area check it out. read more

I was looking for a fun & unique place to bring my daughter as a surprise while on vacation from Michigan. My mother, who is now a FL resident, was also told by her new local vet to come here. WHAT A COOL PLACE! None of us have ever had anything like it. So many options on the menu and you can customize to your heart's desire. Everything we ordered was a delicious & beautiful creation. The staff was extremely helpful, happy & kind. You're missing out if you don't give this place a try. Thanks, Vampire Penguin... until next time. :) read more

Came in for some dessert after a beach day. I tried the Dulce de Leche and my son had the Strawberry Snow. It was sooooo tasty and freshing, make sure you drop in for your sweet tooth fix! read more

Decided we needed something sweet for Mother's Day and been meaning to come here. We were immediately greeted upon entering. We were asked if we had ever been there before and when we advised we had not we were explained how to order , given a menu and showed where we could sit down. We got Cotton candy for our kids and The Mexican Candy for ourselves. Oh my goodness! I honestly didn't know what to expect but it would have exceeded even that! It was so good! The decor is cute, industrial with little paintings on the walls, kids really enjoyed it! With the good customer service and delicious shaved snow, we will definitely be returning!!! read more

Wanted a desert that was like ice cream but was not going to leave me with that full feeling. That is exactly what Vampire Penguin has. They put an amazing spin on shaved ice. They give it a light fluffy airy texture that taste just light ice cream and add all the fixins' to make it that amazing sundae that you craving but only better. This exceeded every expectation that I had walking into the restaurant. This not only met but exceeded the expectation. There are also so many flavors and toppings to choose from that you can make up your flavor if you wish. The next best part is for those who have gluten allergies.... all of their flavors and majority of their toppings are gluten free. Lastly, the restaurants tables are still spread for social distancing and they are extremely clean. Although there is a menu that you can physically handle it is also sanitized and wiped down after each customer. I have found myself a new dessert place. Their goes my weight loss lol. read more

This place is awesome and does not disappoint!! My daughter and I drove to Vampire Penguin on a Monday during the day the week before school started. I heard about them on the Palm Harbor Happenings Facebook page. Their shaved ice is so light and creative. The staff was extremely friendly. I got the tuxedo which is chocolate shaved ice with strawberries and marshmallows. My daughter got the pina colada which had pineapple and coconut shavings. WOW they were both delicious. We both got a small which was plenty for us. We will definitely be back. Please build another one in Palm Harbor! read more

Pretty darn good! I can see why it would win 2021 dessert wars. We tried 4 different kinds, the peanut butter cup, strawberry cheesecake, polar affogato and then the strawberry cheese cake bite. Absolutely fabulous tasting, no disappointments amount any of the flavors. Will definitely be back for more;) read more

Got the caramel frappe, churros & Oreo shaved ice. It was super good, munchies definitely cured

Interesting and not overly filling. The staff was awesome and incredibly friendly. I still have to say that I prefer icecream to faux icecream. The environment was open with plenty of seating and parking. I appreciate new places to try and applaud the friendly and efficient service. read more

Can't say enough about this place. Wow. This is a small business you need to support. What a great idea here that results in a gem of a dessert spot. I ordered the Cinnamon Toast Crunch and my wife, the Peanut Butter. A light, airy, ice creamy, snow. Delicious flavor that doesn't make you feel guilty afterwards. The owner is a great guy who was incredibly friendly and inviting. Please, stop in and try for yourself. This will be a regular place for our family in the future. It will be yours too once you give it a try. read more

First time here. We shared a banana creme pie. It was very smooth and went really well with the graham cracker crumbs. The ice has the texture of yellow cake, kind of neat. Looking forward to trying other flavors, we will be back. Great for a hot summers day treat. I took a picture up close to show the texture. read more

Visiting from Michigan and heard of the place from people I knew. Since I was in the area, we thought to stop by and get some! And it was such an awesome treat! Definitely not your ordinary shaved ice. It was really light, not too rich, not too sweet & was just perfect. The portion sizes were just right! Since it was hot outside, having this treat definitely helped cool us off! The person working was very welcoming as well. Will definitely be back when we visit the area again!!! read more

Absolutely fantastic service interior and food. 10/10 would vampire penguins again. Also I would for sure recommend the Reese cup one read more

OMG best Dessert I have ever had. My husband and I stumbled on this place when we were taking a stroll on main street . We had no idea what to expect and even what to order. I was watching all the huge desserts being served and had to try one. I ordered one. we had a hard time deciding. Its ice cream in the middle and like a fluffy textured shaved ice around it. It melts in your mouth. We cant wait to go back. YOU MUST GO AND TRY THIS. read more

I finally got a chance to visit this gem with a friend of mine the other day. We shared the peanut butter cup and I was shocked At how amazing it was! The flavor was amazing but the texture was so unique!! I loved everything about it !! I can't wait to go back and try some more !! I will definitely be going back! read more

What a different twist on sweet treats. Pricey for ice and whipped cream but worth the experience and very tasty. Located in the new 5500 building on the ever changing, up and coming Main Street NPR, this is becoming a higher rent area. It's cool places like this that will draw in people other than the micro brew crowd. Happy to say it was a lot better than I expected. Fast and courteous service from a smiling teen. They have a public bathroom, bar or tabletop seating. Covid rulers are being enforced. Come to downtown and support this local start up. read more

Amazing customer service and the atmosphere is very welcoming. These dessert are top notch with so much flavor

Came in prior to closing as a family of four looking to enjoy a frozen treat, and was met by nothing other than what appears to be the angriest shortest and quick fused middle manager on this side of the Mississippi. We were rushed to order and refused a table, because apparently stacking four individual chairs would add too much exhaustion for him to bother. So we were pushed off to a bar top style seating where we could not enjoy each other's company... But alas we sat, facing the great views of a dim lit alley in new port richey, until we were about halfway finished with our desserts which was when he insisted we MUST leave. We said "Okay?" to which he proceeded to angrily lecture a young woman in our group about how he needed to send his staff of minors home. Maybe try scheduling appropriately as to not put yourself in this situation where you're literally chasing paying clients out of the door. Do better. Also the decor is lackluster and mediocre. Just go to Coldstone if you're looking for a cold treat. read more

I had the banana split and it was delicious. I loved the texture of the ice and everyone with me (4 of us) all really enjoyed our visit and our treats. Thank you read more

My son and I have been here twice already. It never disappoints we have tried several different flavors and they have all been amazing. Now beware the large is LARGE! Great for sharing. read more

I was so excited to see a new and exciting shaved ice location. Let's start with finding the place. The website and Facebook just state 5500 Main street. No where does it say a suite number so I had to call and ask for directions. The guy answered the phone like I just hit his cellphone. Like "Hey what's up?" I had to ask if it was the business I was searching and then he's like "uh yeah on 5500 main St you can't miss it" but you can miss it because we'd been driving around looking for it. Finally found it and ordered two of the special recipes. Both were missing things that the menu said it should have. When I pointed it out to the girl she goes "oh" and walked away. Not impressed. Might try again once they've been open a while but honestly it left a lot to be desired. Especially after frigid frog in Spring Hill who has amazing flavors and top notch service. read more

Forget an ice cream night out with the family or an ice cream date night, this is what you need right here. My wife and I each tried a shaved snow, they were both amazing. My wife ordered a hurricane drink and said it was amazing as well. Not only did we enjoy the dessert but the staff was beyond friendly, impressive, helpful, enjoyable, and one of the most impressive staffs I've ever seen. I would highly recommend stopping in. read more

Thanks Daniel and VP! Not only do you get tasty treats here including frappe's, there's great customer service and a clean environment. Next time I'm asking for extra brownie! read more
