I do like this place, especially since it is the only place you can get shaved ice snow. I'm not a fan of the really chunky larger bits and Hawaiian shaved ice is the absolute best. The flavors have all been really tasty and creative too, no complaints there. I do wish it weren't so expensive for literally frozen water. I would be by every other day if it were more affordable and not just an every few months treat. I wish there were a few larger tables since all of them are made for four and I generally only come with groups of 5 or 6 and we feel bad moving tables, so we just end up all squeezing together after swiping chairs from another table. Haven't ordered the ramen yet and I pretty much forget that part exists until we sit down. I'll still be back every several months when my wallet isn't as judgmental on me dropping $10 per person on a frozen treat. read more

My friends and I love Vampire Ice. Every time I'm in the area, I try to make a visit. Everyone working at this particular location is very sweet and very professional. Most recently I tried their dulce de Leche vampire, ice concoction, and I gotta say that the caramel drizzle along with the banana is my new favorite combination. Whether it's in the summer or winter, I will always make it a point to visit this location. read more

First time having shaved ice in this area, wasn't sure what to expect. We got the Halo Halo, Itchy Mango, and the Banana Cream. Across the board, I would say the quality of the ice is decent. It's not quite as fluffy as I normally have, but still very good! The halo halo was really good! I liked the ube flavoring a lot. It's hard to find good ube flavors in this area. This was probably the first one we finished really fast. The Itchy Mango was a lychee(litchi) base with mango sorbet on the side and this was very good. It starts out a little too sweet with the drizzle, but eventually the flavor evens out as you make sure not to eat a concentrated piece of syrup. The Banana Cream was honestly not amazing in my opinion, but was still decent. I feel banana flavoring can be a hit or miss with a lot of stuff. It was definitely an interesting experience to try this kind of shaved ice. Overall, I would recommend getting multiple flavors and sharing so that none of flavors get "flavored out" in your mouth. Seating and atmosphere is chill! They have some games which is nice. The staff were very nice and they brought our ice to our table. They got a bathroom as well. read more

Absolutely delicious. I really didn't know what to expect from shaved ice with stuff on it... but this was probably one of the best things I've ever eaten. The young lady who took my order was SO SWEET. The other two employees didn't was a word and was on the phone talking the whole time she was making the order. That was a little rude and unprofessional. That's the only reason the didn't get 5 stars. But it's a very cute place and i would go back. We got the strawberry shortcake and the peach cobbler. It's taste like a very light ice cream but it's shaved ice. It's one of those places that you just have to go and try it out. It's kind of far out and if you didn't know it was there, you probably wouldn't even go... but map it and try it out!!! read more

Reminiscent of Hawaii's shaved ice. Light and refreshing. Nice presentation. Perfect dessert if you don't want anything too heavy or too sweet. The Halo halo was the best. We also got the dulce de leche and Mexican candy. Cute atmosphere, kid friendly. read more

We had our second visit to Vampire Penguin and both times... a huge success. Service was friendly and the shaved ice fantastic. There are such a variety of flavor options that you can blend, it almost feels endless. My husband and I have tried the dulce de leche and the strawberry shortcake. Each were delish! My kids were not too sure about this place, but after trying the Cookie Monster and vanilla, they really loved it! My oldest even customized to his liking. We adore the set up of the place, the decor is cute and fun! Looking forward to trying more in the future. read more

This is such a refreshing alternative to heavy ice cream! Great taste but light and so much more healthy.

Delicious, tantalizing, treat! If you are looking for something new and different, you must try this new place off Hull Street!

Super cute place! Tried the strawberry shortcake shaved ice and it was soooo good! I'll definitely be back to try out all the other flavors!

Have gone twice and it was great both times. One time was a week day and it was quiet and one time was a Sunday and it was packed. No difference in quality between the two times which was a nice surprise. For the number of people in front of us on Sunday once we ordered it probably only took 10 minutes which was great was worried it would have taken longer. read more

Walked in several minutes before closing and was denied service. Wish i knew what it tastes like. But I don't.

The larger sizes are soooo worth it. The polar affrogato and strawberry cheesecake are our favorites.

Very light and delicious! Since it's ice it's not super filling, which makes this a perfect after dinner dessert.
