What a hidden gem! This little ice cream sandwich spot tucked near BYU is absolutely worth finding. We stopped in on a whim and were blown away. The honeycomb ice cream is to die for--creamy, flavorful, and unlike anything I've had before. The place itself is small but charming, and the staff was super friendly. You can tell a lot of care goes into their flavors and sandwiches. We can't wait to go back and try more! If you're in the area and craving a treat, don't skip this spot. It's a sweet surprise in the best way. read more

The ice cream and cookies were okay, but nothing exceptional. The cookies were a bit too hard for my liking. However, the customer service during my visit was extremely disappointing. My family and I went through the drive-thru and rang the bell when we were ready, but no one came to the window. It was a slow time of day, so the lack of response was surprising. After ringing several times with no answer, we decided to go inside. When we walked in, we found the employees sitting and talking. We asked if anyone was working the front, and one of them replied that he was the only one on shift. He got up to take our order and mentioned it had been slow--yet we had been waiting outside for someone to come to the window. What made the situation worse was that while he was taking our order, another customer pulled into the drive-thru and he immediately went to assist them. This was extremely frustrating, as it showed he could have helped us earlier but chose not to. Overall, the service was unacceptable, and it definitely impacted our experience. read more

Okay this is slightly embarrassing but I have been to penguin bros at LEAST 20 times this year so you can trust me when I say this place deserves MORE than 5 stars. If you come here, get the chocolate chip pizookie. It is THE most delicious thing you will ever eat. This place will forever be my go-to treat spot! Good vibes inside so it's a great date spot too! read more

Hidden gem! This place was SO good! Prices were reasonable. It was $5 for a little cookie sandwich and $6 for a large. I got a large Cookie Monster (vanilla with chips ahoy 10/10) with double fudge cookies. And let me tell you, this was a LOT. Way too much for just myself but a perfect amount to split it with someone. Everything tasted amazing. The place was pretty small and there were only about 6 tables. It got really busy at night so it filled up and got so loud. I couldn't hear anyone at my table due to the loud music and crowded place but it didn't affect how much I LOVED what I got. I am totally going here again. read more

So yummy with lots of flavor options! My only gripe is that they don't always have gluten free/dairy free options. They rotate flavors and those rotate as well which isn't ideal for those with allergies. The physical location also isn't ideal because there isn't great seating due to its small size. Aside from those two components, I would highly recommend! The food itself is sooo yummy! read more

Such good food!! The pizookie is the best!! Such good service as well!! I would recommend for sure

Penguin brothers is a hidden gem in Provo and it's a must!! They use ice cream from Rockwell ice cream - which is high quality and has the most amazing flavors. My only complaint is with the cookies - They were hard and crunchy. I wish they'd been soft and warm. I need to go back and try the warm cazookie with ice cream because I bet it will be perfection. read more

We had Penguin Brothers provide dessert (ice cream sandwiches) and their "custom soda bar" for my daughter's wedding. First, the good: The ice cream sandwiches deserve 5 stars. Everyone loved them. The strawberry Nutella ice cream with double-chocolate cookies was absolutely delicious, and many guests raved about the honeycomb ice cream with snickerdoodles. And now for the bad: Warm soda with no ice, and not truly "custom." The description on The Penguin Brothers website says: "Our Custom Soda Bar comes with your choice of 4 soda options and customizable mix ins! We do bring 2 servers and a serving station. Our team provides cups, straws, and napkins!" (See https://www.thepenguinbrothers.com/catering and scroll to the bottom.) An email I received from Penguin Brothers described it like this: "For the sodas, you can choose theses [sic] already put together options, or you can just pick 4 soda flavors and syrups flavors and your guests can mix and match whatever sodas and flavors they want. " The "already put together options" sounded okay, but I wanted some different flavor combinations and asked several times for a list of syrup flavors to choose from. Apparently, we'd been talking past each other because when I eventually got an answer about what syrup flavors I could choose from with the 4 sodas we'd picked, it was this: "I just want to clarify again, we basically have two options! You can pick the custom sodas that I sent above (those are already made soda and flavoring combinations that we can bring and offer), OR you can choose up to 5 flavors and we bring those with club soda and your guests can choose which flavors they want with their club soda :) " In the end, they brought a bunch of canned sodas and syrup flavorings, but the canned soda was warm, and there was no ice for the drinks. Almost no one at the reception used the soda bar because who wants to drink warm soda? In the end, they must have taken back 75 to 80 percent of the canned soda and nearly all of the syrup, so I paid $4 per drink for 300 guests, and maybe 40 of the guests had a drink simply because there was no ice. In The Penguin Brothers' defense, the descriptions on their website and in their correspondence with me never said ice would be included. I just assumed that the soda would be cold and served with ice. Even in Europe, where ice is rarely used with drinks, the sodas are still served cold. I'd say you can't go wrong with their ice cream sandwiches for a catered event, but skip the soda bar unless you like throwing away money or somehow prefer warm soda to chilled soda with ice. read more

Back now that I've been many more times. LOVE this place. The oatmeal cookie is my absolute favorite. Haven't had a bad thing off the menu yet either! They also have gluten free, vegan, and dairy free options!! read more

The ice cream and cookies were very good. The 2 star review is because the girl who got my ice cream and cookies put on gloves then proceeded to put her hair up with the gloves on...and then we ended up with clumps of hair in our ice cream. Absolutely disgusting. If you touch your face, your hair, the register, money or anything else. You HAVE to change your gloves. read more

Pleasant staff. Exuberant decor. Ambrosial flavors. You can't go wrong at this high-spirited snackery. I would like to thank 'The Penguin Brothers' personally for being the venue of thousands of awkward first dates among college students in the Provo area. Someone had to take the responsibility, and you surely understood the assignment. read more

Pros: Rockwell Ice cream! Delicious freshly baked cookies Unique location with fun INSTAGRAMMABLE wall Very cheery staff Drive-thru option Con: With the construction on Cougar BLVD they added a median. If you are going E on cougar, you will have to do a U-turn at the Intersection with N 150 E. There are only a few parking spaces. I love Penguin Brothers! It the perfect post-date treat or quick pick-me-up on a bad day! They have fully sized cookie ice cream sandwiches and mini versions (big bro vs lil' bro) and pazookies! They are really fast at this location and it's never been ridiculously busy. They have both indoor and outdoor seating areas. read more

Tried penguin brothers a few weekends ago at my sisters wedding reception and was not disappointed! Tons of varieties of ice cream and cookie options, though I can't remember them all now... My wife and I shared two cookie sandwiches--one chocolate chip with biscotti ice cream and one double chocolate with mint chocolate chip. The cookies were nice and soft, which is necessary for a cookie ice cream sandwich, and the flavors went together really well. After the reception there were some cookies leftover and we had them for breakfast the next morning (pretend I didn't say that, but I mean, occasionally, cookies for breakfast is acceptable, right??). They were still nice and soft and delicious as ever. Fun to create your own sandwiches and even more fun to eat them. What's not to like? read more

What a quality establishment. This place is the kinda local place that you take a big wig from new york to so that you can impress them of your prowess and elite knowledge of the city of provo. It is famed. Not to mention the most bodacious art that can be found. Abbie ellie and lizzy are the trio for the ages. Our friends needed a post broomball treat and decided to swing through arriving two minutes AFTER closing. Service was sauce. They also gave us these delightful little cookie ball concoction. Its places like penguin brothers that make the world go round. read more

Awesome place! Neatly tucked away on a busy road. This place screams good business and has good ice cream!

They were super yummy!! Just a heads up about parking, the lot by them is super small, but if you park by Baskin robins there is a bridge you can walk over. They have a lot of unique choices in cookies and ice cream! Super friendly and fun environment!! I have never had a macaroon before but think I will only have it with a scoop of ice cream in the middle like they have!! Thanks!! read more

DISCLAIMER: I am a nurse and got a free ice cream sandwich from penguin bro's so I got to try them again. And I have to say - I was very happy! I got biscoff ice cream, one chocolate chip cookie, and one oatmeal cookie and the combo was deeeeelicious. The ice cream was still the highlight for me - Rockwell knocks it out of the park with their flavors. read more

Such a fun place! I'm so glad they carry Rockwell ice cream since we all know that Rockwell is the best. It was fun to see some of their own unique ice cream flavors like Princess Peach and No Bake. The size of the little bro ice cream sandwich was perfect for my kids! So glad they offer a small size! We loved the Pizookie. The cookie was still really doughy which was great. The owners were there and were really helpful with recommendations for us. Such a great little dessert place. So glad we finally got to try it! read more

I'm so in love with this cute lil' place. They just recently opened their brick and mortar space, having previously only operated out of a food truck. The small building they occupy feels like a secret hangout spot, though I can't quite put my finger on why. The interior is adorable, all pale pinks and blues and wood, with artwork that has ice cream incorporated, and fairy lights too, because why not? They could probably fit maybe 15 or 20 people in there, but it would be pretty packed. The idea is that you make your own sandwich with your choice of cookies and ice cream. They had about 10-12 ice cream options (From Rockwell, some more creative like lemon thyme blueberry), and I think 5 or 6 cookie options (from Sweet Tooth Fairy), but to be honest I didn't really pay attention to the cookie choices because when they said they could do warm chocolate chip I was sold. Paired with dark chocolate sea salt ice cream this was a serious contender for best ice cream sandwich ever (I'm only slightly exaggerating). I like that, even with two cookies, it's not a huge serving, although I shared with a friend, and it was a perfect snack for two. The only negative about warm cookies is that they melt the ice cream, but that just means you better eat quickly! We spoke with one of the owners just briefly, and he was charming. There was no one else there when we stopped by, so we were served immediately, but due to the nature of the product it would be unlikely you would ever have much of a wait. The price is great, one sandwich was about $4.00, and they have a reward program. I think it could be hard to spot from the road as it's set back a ways, but their food truck was parked out front, so that helped. I'm sad that I'm not often in this area because I would certainly frequent The Penguin Brothers, but I guess that just means it'll be a special treat. Definitely check this place out. read more

Looking to have a wonderful date night? Do you have a group that wants a nice treat after an event? Or maybe you need someone to cater your event with some spectacular desserts? The Penguin Bros will hook you up, and won't let you down. If you love cookies, ice cream, or both together, you can't go wrong. These gourmet ice cream sandwiches are made with Provo's very own Rockwell Ice Cream! Also, the fact that they have a drive thru is so convenient. POSITIVES: To start, their ice cream is thick, creamy, and with a variety of innovative creations. Although cones aren't an option, you may eat your ice cream 'sandwich-style' (between various cookies), in a bowl, or the pizookie method (cookie in a small tin, topped with the ice cream). They have 2 sizes of sandwich, the lil bro and the big bro (for a dollar more, we went with the big bro). Also, they had wonderful servers who were friendly, polite, and very helpful in letting us sample all their exciting flavors. They were gracious enough to serve our sandwich in a bowl, as it got drippy in the heat. The decor is modern, nerdy, cute, and cozy. The walls were decked out in nerdy art featuring penguins as famous movies characters, as well as pictures/posters from famous movies, but cleverly photoshopping their cookie sandwiches in the scene. While the bathroom was small and shabby, my (pregnant) wife was certainly grateful they even had one. The prices were fair for the quality and amount you get. NEGATIVES: they aren't able to print receipts. I kind of regret getting the muddy buddy flavored ice cream, as it wasn't my favorite. It has chunks of peanut butter that seemed as large as the scoop of ice cream. And the Chex in it had an awkward texture that was both soggy and rough at the same time. PRICE: about $5 per person. RECOMMENDED: Cookie monster. S'mores. If you go the sandwich route, the classic inception cookies were wonderful (Chocolate Chip/Double Fudge Cookies, filled with cookie monster ice cream). read more

So yummy. Get a pizookie to share. Lots of good flavors and ice cream. And a gluten free cookie too!

Probably my favorite ice cream sandwich place! I'm a huge fan of their Biscoff flavored macaron ice cream sandwich! The macaron cookies were the right texture and the flavor was spot-on for Biscoff! Additionally, the ice cream filling is DELICIOUS and it is Rockwell Ice Cream. If you know, you know. They make homemade ice cream in unique flavors. This was the the perfect combo and I will definitely be trying more of their flavors in the future. Bravo, Penguin Brothers! read more

My goodness, this place is amazing. By far the best ice cream sandwich I have had in my life. I ordered the chocolate chip cookie with mint Oreo ice cream and I felt like I was in heaven. The cookie was soft and delicious, and the ice cream was so creamy. If you are looking for a good cookie and good ice cream, then this is the place to go. I have already been twice and see no limit for how many times I can return. Note: They do have a drive thru! It's a bit hidden on the side by the dry cleaner, but it is there :) read more

Great, unique dessert place in Provo! Penguin brothers serves specialty ice cream sandwiches using Rockwell's ice cream and their own in house cookies. Everything I've tried here so far is delicious! The restaurant itself is bright and fun. They use lots of color and decorations that center around two suited "penguin brothers" and ode to the shop's founders I believe. It's tucked away behind an auto repair shop a few blocks west of BYU campus. Can't say I love the location. The store is hard to find, the parking is tight, and the restaurant is small. I've only been to this place once, and I had the macaroon ice cream sandwich when I came. It was delicious! My fiancé and I got one mint sandwich and another passion fruit one. I wouldn't have thought to get a passion fruit ice cream sandwich but man, it was so good! The flavor was awesome and totally unique. I loved how the macaroon cookie was soft with a slight crunch. It made a great contrast to the cold, creamy ice cream filling. The downside of the macaroon sandwich was the price in my opinion. It was $4 and really small! See my picture, but I was expecting something much bigger than $4 finger food. It was finely crafted and delicious, but I don't think it was a good value. I would probably pick something different next time I come. Overall I really like the concept of this place and love their sandwiches. Wish I could give it a higher rating but the location and price hold me back. Give it a try! read more

Oh man, if you like Macarons, you must try the macron Ice cream sandwich! The macron shells are perfect and paired with ice cream it is now my favorite dessert. Gotta give it a try. I got the biscoff macron sandwich and my daughter got the cookies and cream. While we were there, I took advantage of trying their new ice cream flavors. Pumpkin pie and Reese's pieces were my favorite but they had such a variety of flavors, like huckleberry Oreo! I also love the atmosphere. Super quaint. I'd imagine on a weekend it might get crowded but rest assured, it is worth the wait. Out of all the dessert places I've been, Penguin brothers wins in my book! read more

Super great cookies and ice cream. I would definitely come here again! The pricing is fair as well.

Woah! "Epic ice-cream sandwiches" is all I can say. I had heard of Penguin Brother's and was aware of their food truck but always overlooked the fact that they had an actual location -- probably because it is in a random and sort of "out-of-sight, out-of-mind" location. Besides that, I really fell in love and this will be my new go-to dessert location. For starters, I LOVE the atmosphere. It's really fun and very unique. I also was amped to find that they use my favorite, Rockwell's Ice cream (a local ice cream shop). The cookies were fresh and the service was helpful and quick. I loved that I could get two Lil Bro sandwiches for only $5! It was a more than adequate amount of ice cream and cookies. I don't think you could go wrong with any of their menu items but if you want a recommendation, I loved the dark chocolate ice cream with the oatmeal cookie + chocolate chip cookie combination. The one negative is the menu was a little confusing -- I thought that the "double" meant a double scoop of ice cream, not two Lil' Bros. If you are an ice cream lover and a cookie lover (basically if you are a life lover) you have to check this place out. Also, the wait time (and busy atmosphere) of this location was significantly less than other local dessert shops. Both times I have gone, I have had my ice cream sandwich in less than five minutes. read more

Penguin Bros is always a hit! I like to get the breakup pizookie! Definitely would recommend to anyone!!

TL;DR: Great ice cream, great cookies. The first few times I'd tried this, I'd ordered from the food truck which is great, but that size of ice cream sandwich is kind of hard to manage, having a physical table makes it much easier. They use Rockwell Ice Cream which is great ice cream but I honestly can't believe that they don't have the snickerdoodle ice cream. Their whole deal is cookies and ice cream and that is literally both!! Such an oversight. Of the available options, my favorite ice cream is the Banana Graham and my favorite cookie is the Snickerdoodle, which coincidentally, pair very well together. Decor is charming and adorable. Seriously, go for the ice cream, stay for the hilarios photoshop art on the walls. read more

Let me start off by saying I'm not the best one to review an ice cream establishment. I don't usually like sweets. That said, if my wife is going to drag me to an ice cream place (and she would), I'd prefer here. The ice cream is creamy and homemade (though. It by them, by another local place), and the cookies are soft and delicious (those are made by them). Sample a few and pick your favorite. read more

we used to LOVE this place. the vibe of the employees, the soft cookies. but they must have change owners because it's not the same. hard overdone cookies the last few times, prices way up and the employees not nearly as nice as before. hopefully they get things fixed cuz we have loved this ice cream hangout. read more

This place is a great find! I love the decor and the service ones of the store. It has a very old fashioned soda shop feel. The employees are friendly and very knowledgeable. They were happy and obliged with samples on some of their best flavors while we ordered. The Pazooki was soooo good! We shared one and it was delicious. It's right around $7 for a pazooki, not bad for a dessert big enough for two people. All in all, a great find. I was very pleased with me experience here, I'll be back again soon! read more
