Orange Creamsicle
Alesha F.

Delicious! It's snow not shaved ice. Fantastic :) The orange creamsicle had orange zest and vanilla ice cream. The little popping things are good.

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!!!

Entrance

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.

Strawberry Shortcake!
Jodie S.

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.

Mango lychee
Jessica K.

Go to nova to get good dessert or shaved milk dessert known as Bingsoo? WELL now there's vampire penguin. This bingsoo base is shaved milk or some kind of cream. The mango lychee is super good must try if you like fruit flavors. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend. The front workers are friendly and sweet. This place reminds of the good hangout spot back in highschool. There are board games !!

Shaved ice: snow tiger, polar affogato and Mexican candy.

Cookie Monster
Jason S.

Took the kids here twice (once with my brother the other with my niece). Loved the desserts, tasted fantastic and looked like works of art! I had Cookie Monster one of the times (pic attached).

Dulce de leche - this one is hands down my favorite. So good!
Mario V.

This place is a hidden gem for all your sweet tooth needs! Friendly staff and quick service. Excellent layout and something to look at on every wall with lots of interactive. Definitely check this place out and you won't regret a thing. Excellent all around.

Peanut Butter Cup

My wife and I have visited 3 times in the last month and tried something different each time. Vampire penguins has been outstanding each time. Even brought a group 10 , 15 min prior to closing and they were so polite (Did not not know it was about to close) The snow is light and flavorful and that staff has been great. Definitely recommend trying.

Sweet tooth and halo-halo
Teresa G.

Super fun and delicious! My daughter and I went there for a treat. She had sweet tooth and I had halo - halo. They are works of art and fun!

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

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.

Came here to get a breakfast pastry while in the area. Brecotea is a Korean inspired bakery that…read morealso has hot and cold beverages, breads, cakes, and savory sandwiches as well. The ambiance was clean and orderly. Upon entering, you grab a serving tray lined with parchment and some tongs. The items are in a glass enclosed display that you have to open and place your selections on your tray for purchase. I settled on the pistachio cream filled pecan pastry, the almond twist, and strawberry shortcake. The beverage menu was extensive: matcha, flavored teas, cocoa, espresso/coffee, and more. We were greeted by pleasant staff at checkout and our orders placed in a parchment type bag for take out. They also have seating inside. The pastries were just sweet enough without being overly sweet, which I like. The pistachio cream was a perfect compliment to the pecan encrusted pastry. The almond twist was both flaky and crunchy with the sliced almonds on top, and the strawberry shortcake had layers of real strawberries, whipped topping and yellow cake that was moist. All were fresh. All in all, a great place to stop by for a morning pastry treat and tea/coffee while in the area,

Bright and airy space, almost like a spa!…read more Quiet when I came in weekday afternoon. Calming spot to grab a treat, get some work done/journal, or catch up with friends in an aesthetic and modern cafe. Ordered the paradise tea with mango and avocado. I loved the textures and layers of flavors. The drink was filling and lasted me a while, not watery but refreshing. The mango tasted fresh and avocado creamy. I haven't tried the pastries at this location, but have at their other Richmond cafe. Great cakes and buns made fresh in-house. Easy to find parking at the lot outside. Service is pretty quick.
