Knowing it's veteran-owned makes me even happier to support them. The ice cream is consistently creamy without being overly sweet, which is harder to find than you'd think. Every flavor we've tried has been fantastic, and the staff is always genuinely kind and welcoming. The prices are reasonable, too, which makes it easy to stop by whenever the craving hits. My wife is always getting an "ice cream itch," so she'll randomly decide to "go check out the flavors" and somehow always comes home with ice cream for both of us. I'm certainly not complaining. My go-to order is the ube ice cream mixed with cookie dough, and yes, as a grown man,I still get rainbow sprinkles every single time. No shame. If you're in the Kempsville area and looking for a local business worth supporting, Sundae Scoop is absolutely worth the visit. We'll definitely be back!

I was impressed by the number of different flavors that they had available and they all sound delicious!! I ended up getting a Salted Caramel Butter pecan scoop in a waffle cone and my girlfriend got the banana pudding in a cup. Both were smooth and creamy and not overly sweet. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other flavors. Our total was about 12 dollars. The place was nice and clean with several places to sit and the young ladies that were working were kind and polite! Make sure you try it out and let me know your fave flavor!!

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 owner helped me decide on which ice cream since I wanted water ice and ice cream. Today, I tried their rainbow water ice with some vanilla ice cream. It was a 10/10 combo.

Please try this place out if you haven't already!!! Best water ice in the 757!

The owners are very nice and responsive online as well when it comes to flavor recommendations and thoughts in general. Recently, I got the watermelon Italian ice which was extremely delightful. Their ice cream is good as well but I always opt for the Italian ice because it's just refreshing and makes me feel more like a kid again. It's something I can't get everywhere. I definitely recommend taking a visit especially during a nice summer day. They painted the building and it's super cute.

My daughter got a cup of banana pudding ice cream, which she really enjoyed. I got the cucumber lemonade, which tasted more like honey dew melon, but it was good and refreshing on a hot day.

Overall, this is a cute little ice cream shop, and i would definitely go back.

That positivity lends to wanting to spend money that's for sure! Overall, total win. If you're in the area looking for a dessert, definitely stop by.
