Stopped in after a quick trip to NC and thought that it would be nice to grab a snowball. Things that I love about Penguin's Snowball is that it is a locally owned establishment to grab a fun summer time treat and it is in a great location. Also, if memory serves me correctly it is owned by a veteran. I come here several times throughout the summer months and I love the different options, my favorite being the Piccadilly. Today I watched as the young lady, who appeared to be working alone, made snowballs with one glove on her right hand and no glove on her left hand. I stood and watched as she made two snowballs and then realized that she needed more snow. She adds more snow to both cups and proceeds to push the snow with both the gloved and ungloved hand. I had to walk away. Thank you but no thank you. Just doesn't seem sanitary to me. Again, I love Penguin's but this was a hard pass for me.

The actual outdoor seating area is plagued by bees or yellow jackets of some sort making it really quite unusable for sitting and enjoying. Probably will not go back.

I love Get Lost it's such a good sweet treat spot…read more Their Hawaiian shave ice is SO good and they have a ton of flavors to choose from. Tropical to sugary flavors; Dragon fruit to bubble gum. My personal favorite is the Float On which is root beer float inspired with vanilla icecream and it's seriously amazing. They put vanilla ice cream in the middle, shaved ice packed with flavor, and then top it with their house-made whipped cream. It just makes it perfect. The ice cream is delicious, the syrups are flavorful, and you can tell everything is made with care. As far as seating, it's a small spot. Inside where you order, there's only a tiny bit of seating so it's not really somewhere you go to sit for a long time. Most people order at the walk-up window and wait for their name to be called. They do have picnic tables outside if you want to sit out on a nice sunny day. And right beside it, there's an attached space with additional seating if you want to be somewhere a little more covered or out of the weather. It's perfect in the summer, but I also love that they stay open in the winter. They usually do buy-one-get-one free Fridays during the winter, which is such a nice bonus. And the customer service is always really good too friendly and welcoming every time I go. Definitely recommend if you're in Virginia Beach and craving something sweet and refreshing!

Somehow they managed to take the taste of a perfect iced coffee and turn it into the softest, fluffiest shaved ice you can imagine. Rich, refreshing, and way better than it has any right to be. The place is clean, the staff is friendly, and you can tell they put real care into what they serve. If you're even remotely a coffee person, do yourself a favor and get the Mug Life. Get Lost Ice just set the bar pretty high for every other shaved ice shop out there.

When I messaged them this morning, I didn't realize that they closed at two on weekdays, so I asked about picking up pagash around 4:15 after work, and the wonderful person I messaged said no worries, that he'd coordinate with the manager of the Little Caesar's beside them and I could pick it up from them instead. Both places went above and beyond with their customer service! Def check them out if you haven't yet! (Pagash is bread, potato, and cheese, so you literally can't go wrong!

I opted for the kiddie size snowball which was a good portion. It includes 2 flavors, but I chose add-ons - whip cream and tajin and added vanilla ice cream at additional cost. I'm glad he informed me that due to the kiddie size, adding ice cream would increase the height and most likely have the snoball spill over. He offered to place the ice cream on the side to avoid spillage which I greatly appreciated. They have a large variety of flavors and the reason for the 3.5 stars was due to the taste. I had the passion fruit and tiger's blood. I think the tiger's blood is a sugar free flavor with splenda, so that may have been the reason why I wasn't loving it. I did finish the entire thing though. Haha.. I've just had better tasting at other local businesses. It's located in Primrose shopping center near the Holy Spirit Catholic Church. There's plenty of parking available and they have 3 vibrantly colored tables for seating. I'm sure their presence brings a lively, fun vibe to the shopping center that's in dire need of an update.

It's a $2 upcharge if you want it stuffed. The ice cream was good, but the actual snow cone was dry and didn't taste good. My friends was the opposite, she had watermelon and margarita flavors, and they put so much syrup there was barely any snow cone. Hers was a certified cup of sweet juice. Lol. We tried to sit outside, there at the tables, but the ants were marching one by one with their ant families out there. So we got up quickly when we realized the ambush!! Lol. I'm gonna say this has to just be a off day because I usually love snow cones, so I'll come back and stick to my regular flavors . There's so many flavor combinations you could try. I definitely recommend looking online before coming so you'll know what you want already. You can do the drive thru or walk up to the window. Check them out!!

Pretty presentation, but not the snowball experience I was hoping for…read more A friend of mine has been raving about Pelican's Snowballs, so I finally gave in and decided to give it a try. She met me there and was excited for me to taste what she's been loving--but unfortunately, it just didn't hit for me. I ordered the Watermelon Margarita--a combo of two flavors in one snowball. Right off the bat, it had way too much syrup and not enough ice. It felt more like a slushy than a snowball, and the texture just didn't give me that classic soft, fluffy shave ice vibe I was expecting. On the flip side, my friend ordered a flavor that had ice cream in the center, and she felt hers didn't have enough syrup--so it ended up being kind of dry. Between the two of us, the experience felt really inconsistent. One was too wet, one was too dry. Just not balanced. I really wanted to love this place--especially since the menu is fun and nostalgic--but for me, the flavor-to-ice ratio was off. I probably wouldn't return unless they made some adjustments. That said, staff was friendly and the colors were cute--so points for that. Just not a repeat for me

Once we were greeted (after at least 5 mins of standing in front of the window where we visibly made eye contact with workers) we placed an order for 4 snowballs. Just snowballs, nothing elaborate. We waited by making use of the hula hoops provided by the store (nice touch), interacted with others who were waiting, chatted amongst ourselves and still our snowballs were not ready. We asked what appeared to be the older of the three young ladies working if we can have a refund and were told our orders were being finished. I said but the workers are back there eating a snowball. No acknowledgement was made that the workers were not using their time well to prepare orders. About 5 more mins and the worker we spoke with poked her head inside the shop and said something to the other 2 that resulted in our snowballs being finished and handed off a few mins later. I understand summer employment jobs and having fun while at work in an environment like a snowball stand, however, in total we probably waited around 30+ minutes for 4 snowballs while we watched the workers eating a snowball, chatting with each other, and moving at a snails pace. Snowball is ice and flavor. Training is needed to make sure the workers understand how to maximize their efficiency so they can get customers out of their face and they would actually have more time to do the things that young summer workers like to do when working with their peers.
