Run, don't walk to this delicious dessert place. The store is located in a strip mall on Grapevine Highway. It's a very cute place with comfortable tables and chairs and a few booths. The owners are very pleasant and friendly. The desserts are stellar. It's not ice cream and it's not shaved ice, but somewhere in between. It is so light and airy and delicious. There are many combinations of desserts or you can make your own. The small size is plenty for anyone, but you can order the larger ones and share. I had the Mounds of Almond Joy and my daughter had the strawberry cheesecake. Both were delicious. Served on cold frosted plates for dine in. Can't wait to try more. Love the place and the people who run it. read more

It's different, but great. My kids absolutely love it, and with the unfortunate closing of a few sweet shops, we gave it a try. Wish I wouldnt done it sooner read more

As a Hurst resident I knew I had to try this place, so today I decided to bring my family here. Friendly service from the start. We were welcomed as soon as we stepped through the door, and the kids were offered stickers while we were deciding what to get. The place is super cute inside and they have a really neat bathroom. I had the Dulce de Leche shaved snow and it was the best snow cone I have ever had. My kids and husband also really enjoyed theirs. My husband kept raving about how good this place was on the way home. The place is clean and aesthetically pleasing. I will definitely be coming back! Give them a try and thank me later. ***I had called ahead to make sure they took Mastercard, because one reviewer said they did not. The lady on the phone was surprised by my question and told me they took ALL cards! I can confirm that they DO take Mastercard, since my card went through just fine, so I don't know what that review was about. *** read more

Today was not a good day at Vampire Penguin. We have been going there often since they opened. When we ordered I asked the lady at the front if "conjure your own" included 3 toppings. She assured me that it did. Once she rang us up, I noticed we were charged for each topping. I questioned her and she didn't seem to have a good answer. She then said "all of the toppings are 75 cents each" this is the first time I have had to pay for the toppings. I always only get 3. It really makes no sense, if I were to get a menu item I would get more toppings for less money. When the previous owners were there it was always 3 toppings. But my main point, is the menu is very deceptive. If you are ok paying $25 dollar for 3 very small desserts head on over but be careful how they charge you. And don't expect great costumer service. Picture below. read more

I am so happy to that Vampire Penguin is here in the mid cities. It is a small family owned business. I was talking to one of the owners and right now it is just her, her husband and her mother in law working right now but they are hoping to be able to get going to where they can hire some teens in time for summer break! They serve shaved ice, it reminded me of another locally owned business that I miss from years ago! I tried a banana flavor which was outstanding, when my husband and I stopped in when running errands. I know my youngest will probably go for one called oogie boogie when we bring him in. read more

My wife had heard about vampire penguin online; so we stopped for a mini date before grabbing groceries. Our desserts reminded my wife of a place she had taken our oldest to meet up with friends a number of times in the past. They have a lot of choices from chocolate to fruit based ones. Staff was friendly and checked in with us. It is still very much a family run establishment! read more

Awesome alternative to ice cream, froyo, Gelato, and normal shaved ice and healthier than most. This is a must try if you're in the area. It's so unique how they get ice to taste creamy and a ton of great options to try. The place is super clean. Friendly service from the owners too! read more

Shockingly good. Went with my family and was hoping for ice cream, not that. Better. Light and fluffy but sweet and so amazingly good. Had the fruity pebble one, cheesecake as well as count chocolate. We devoured them. So good. You have to try it. Shocked and satisfied read more

We tried this new ice cream place out tonight, and it was so good! The staff was friendly, and even though you could tell they were a little stressed with all the business while they are still learning the recipes, they were positive and kind and working hard. The shop is cute with little seating options indoor and outdoor. They have a pretty great selection of options of snow and three different sizes. My husband had banana cream pie, my son had strawberry cheesecake customized, and I had the Dulce de Leche. All three of us loved the light consistency and the great flavors. We will be back again soon! read more

What a fun place to stumble upon on a hot summer evening in Texas! I got there around 6:45 pm and they were very busy. I ordered my dish to go, as I thought there would not be a place to sit, but it cleared out fairly quickly. I was able to have a conversation with the nice lady who appeared to be the owner or manager. It was fun to watch the "cooks" painstakingly prepare each order, and they were all very friendly and happy to chat when not busy making orders. The place was very clean - they're vigilant about keeping the tables and chairs clean and free of crumbs and debris. There are two tables that sear four people and three or four tables that seat two, along with two small tables outside. I notice they have discounts for seniors, military, and teachers, but I didn't ask for additional details. I was given a punch card, which I can already tell will be put to good use! My Strawberry Cheescake was delish! Next time, I'm going to try the Twix. I really hope this business thrives! Please go there...often! You'll be glad you did! read more

The service was great we came in and it was super crowded but we got our delicious dessert in less than 10 min. The lady that was taking our order was super nice.

I stopped by about 30 minutes before closing, and the team couldn't have been more welcoming! They treated me like family even though it was the end of the night. The shaved snow was absolutely out of this world -- soft, creamy, and bursting with flavor in every bite. I honestly wasn't prepared for how good it would be! Hands down one of the best dessert experiences I've had in DFW. I'm already planning to come back next weekend with friends -- this place is a must-try! read more
