    taro (?) flavor with heath bar pieces
    Elizabeth S.

    This was quite a surprise...We truly enjoyed the dessert. It was different, refreshing and super tasty! "At Vampire Penguin, cool and sweet, Taro ice made for a lovely treat. We smiled, we snacked, we felt the chill-- But once was plenty, truth be still." ...I just don't know if I would go back for it. It was really good, don't get me wrong. Customer service was great. I just think it's a once in a while kinda thing. I LOVE shaved ice and they were open late which was super convenient. It was a clean, comfortable space as well. The dessert was plenty for two people to share. I think a different flavor combo would be nice to try as well. Definitely check it out if you have a sweet tooth and you're in the area. You won't be disappointed! Another review giving it to you straight no chaser from Elizabeth S. aka The Hungry Poet! -Enjoy

    This place is so good we went two days in a row! It's super finely shaved so it melts in your mouth. The flavors are great and the people are super nice! It does get very busy so you have to be patient but it's really good! Especially if it's a hot day. It is a tad bit expensive but it's a good treat

    This awesome spot is tucked into a quieter part of the Home Depot lot. We really enjoyed chatting with the owner. She was friendly and helped us make our picks. There was ample seating, coloring items for little kids, clean bathroom, and yummy treats. The treat isn't ice cream but it isn't an icee either. Unique find! We learned there are around 30 locations across the US. Definitely worth a stop!

    This is the Tuxedo dessert

    I am in LOVE with this place! The snow fluffy and sweet and unlike anything I have had before. It's a symphony of flavor, low-calorie, and light on the stomach. These light and refreshing desserts come in so many pre-made combos but you can also make your own! The owners were very fun, accommodating and lovely to chat with. The decor, ambiance, music and vibe was fabulous and decorated perfectly to match their adorable theme. We will absolutely be coming back, and fell in love at first sight! You NEED to give this hidden gem a try!!

    Wow! The "shaved snow" is so tasty with a unique texture. I tried a regular orange snow just to try the shaved snow and I was shocked how much fresh orange flavor came through without syrups. I'm definitely interested in trying some of the larger creations but the regular orange snow was sweet, light and refreshing. The service was fantastic and explained the shaved snow concoctions. There was indoor and outdoor seating. The inside provides enough room for a line but we stopped at an off time, so it was very easy to order and enjoy! I've never tasted anything like it and it was delicious. I highly recommend.

    Very cute store. As soon as we walked in we were warmly greeted and asked if we had been before, it was our first time so they walked us through the menu and told us about their specials. The polar affragato was amazing, glad I didnt have to share bc I cleared the plate lol. Can't wait to come back and try different flavors!

    Vampire Penguin = Snowy Sweet Heaven We finally made the trek to Vampire Penguin and WOW -- worth every minute of the 30-minute drive! My wife, two kids, and I went full snow-mode and tried: Churro Birthday Cake Mint Chocolate Aba Daba Do! Banana Cream Pie Every. Single. One. Was. STUNNING. Like--can't-put-your-spoon-down, "wait, don't eat mine!" kind of good. The flavors were creative, the texture was that perfect fluffy snow, and the presentation? Instagram-worthy. The owner was super welcoming -- explained all the options with the enthusiasm of someone who clearly loves what they do. It made the whole experience even better (plus the kids were instantly fans). Pro tip: Don't leave without checking out the bathroom. Yes, the bathroom. Just trust me. Honestly, if this place were any closer, my diet would be absolutely doomed. Vampire Penguin, thank you for the sugar rush and snow-day smiles. We'll be back -- probably sooner than we should be.

    Super unique, delicious, and light. There are so many cool combos and it was great. I got the polar peppermint and I was so pleasantly surprised

    Never even knew this gourmet shaved ice was a thing. Fluffy shaved ice covered in flavorful deliciousness! As soon as we walked in I thought the place was super cute. It was clean and nicely decorated. The bathroom was so nice and had fun penguin art all over the walls. The owner gave us the new experience explanation about how the ice is infused with different flavors and then shaved to a super fine fluffy snowy dessert. There are different flavored ices that go with their various dessert combinations. I went with a super yummy vanilla shaved snow with butterfinger pieces, whipped cream, cocoa powder, caramel and chocolate sauce. It was actually a light dessert and didn't make me feel oversugared. I really enjoyed this place and hope I can visit again.

    Great dessert experience! Unique flavor combinations and so many options to choose from and customize. The owners are amazing! We loved it and can't wait to come back to try more flavors!

    Strawberry Cheesecake...you'll need to pay extra for pieces of cheesecake. The "vanilla"tasted like barely sweetened ice

    I first tried the one in PSL and while I'm not a fan of snow cones, I really did enjoy the creativity of flavors and appreciated the creaminess of these desserts, it was delicious. However I was a bit disappointed as this location seemed watered down leaving a more "ice" taste as opposed to a creamier taste like I had at the PSL location. I tried to let the owner know but she was defined not open to any feedback, insisting that the recipes are made exactly. Yours tasted like ice, theirs did not...clearly something is amiss! I definitely see a difference in the photos of my desserts at both locations...I'm not the expert but perhaps use a touch less snow and you will have perfection!

    The place and ambience were amazing!! Different and deliciousness twist for shaved and ice cream. We tried the strawberries cheesecake, PBC, strawberry lemonade, churros, halo, and affogato. All of them were a hit. Darcy gave us a great service and experience. We will definitely will come bac

    The place is very spacious and the owner is very friendly. I have never tried the style of shaved ice they serve here. It's a cream based shaved ice that just melts in your mouth. Also low on calories and many dairy free options. My new favorite spot for this hot Florida season. A must try!

    Nice place with a welcoming atmosphere. The staff greeted us as we came in and asked if we were…read moredining in or for take away. We wanted to dine in and they handed us menus and told us to have a seat where we like. The menu is large with loads of great options. Staff brought uswaters and crispy noodles with duck sauce. We've been missing this kind appetizer and sit-down Chinese food in the area for a very long time. Our dinner was delicious. I went with the Pork Lo Mein with an egg roll. It was tasty and the Lo Mein was rich with flavor and nicely seasoned. My gal had the sweet and sour chicken with a vegetable roll. Same experience, the flavors were excellent and we were both pleased with our dinners. I am happy to have a great place for Chinese food. It's been a long time since we've had a local spot and this is definitely my new place. Well, here's the nutty side of the story; we ordered delivery the next night since we had some family over. We tried completely different dishes and had the same experience: everyone was blown away by the flavors and looks of the food. We all enjoyed our meal and are looking forward to going in person as soon as possible.

    Saw this place on Tik Tok and man am I glad I did. This is definitely the best Chinese food in West…read morePalm hands down. The chef isn't too fond of modifications and customizations outside of what's printed on the menu so be mindful of that. The rice is full of flavor and the bbq ribs were so tender. I tried a passion fruit tea they had & it was so flavorful and refreshing but the tea was $6 ; a bit on the expensive side. I think I know what I'm having for lunch today lol!
