Delicious, lite, flavorful, yet creamy shaved snow ice. Our process allows for the lightest cold dessert in town. It truly is a must try but don’t take our word for it! Come taste for yourselves.
Not only is it a great tasting treat that doesn’t leave you bloated it has a much less sugar than a favorite signature coffee drinks, ice cream, and sodas! With very low calories and lower sugar content this is a treat you can enjoy over and over again and feel great afterwards. Call it what you want, ice cream, shaved ice, or italian ice, but we guarantee you’ll love this unique and delicious dessert!

Saw this place online and was intrigued to try it as the concept was different than anything we had seen before, it’s like a creamy shaved ice! Got the pineapple whip and the chocolate covered strawberry, so good!! Much lighter than eating ice cream and you don’t feel bad after eating it since they were each under 250 calories. Would definitely come again to try some of the other flavors too.

Shaved Snow beats snowcones, ice cream, and cake hands down! I stop in every time I’m in town and wish we had one in my area. All flavors are fantastic! The staff is amazing and the owner and his son are so fun to talk to….love the fun atmosphere! Vampy the Penguin is the best! 10/10 recommend

Very light dessert. I had the Tuxedo. It had strawberries, marshmallows, condensed milk & chocolate syrup. It was very tasty! It tastes similar to ice cream, but is shaved so not as heavy. Very good. Service was fast and very polite. Would recommend!

Absolutely love this place! I tried the strawberry cheesecake and coconut cream snow flavors, and they were incredible. My son said it was like eating snow, but the best ice he’s ever had—he couldn’t stop smiling. They’re open late, which makes it even more convenient, and we’ll definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommend!!

What a great little sweet treat to cap off the night! Though, I’ll admit, I’m not one who typically appreciates “shaved ice”, this is more like the product of shaved ice meets ice cream. It’s creamy and fluffy, not like your traditional shaved ice. We were all pleasantly surprised and will definitely be back!

This ice cream is like nothing else you’ve tried, other than eating snow as a kid So fluffy and delicious! The staff was above and beyond friendly and made sure we had everything we needed ☺️ Loved the laid back vibes and spooky vampire decor
This place is a must try, especially when headed to Sullivans- we can’t wait to go back!

Went on a whim! Stumbled on this place on google and it’s awesome! Grew up eating Philly water ice, and this reminds me of that but much lighter. Kinda like an extra fluffy snow cone. very smooth and creamy, but light. Don’t feel gross after eating a very fun dessert. Staff was very welcoming and the vibes are fun. Check em out!

Totally awesome and unique dessert! Soft and sweet like ice cream but refreshing like a super fine snow cone. Staff was super nice and told us about the menu. We had the Smoreo and it was delicious- chocolate and vanilla snow with graham cracker crumbs, chocolate sauce, mini marshmallows and real whipped cream on top. We were visiting from out of town and already can’t wait to come back. A must try in Charleston!!

What a great spot!! We decided to check Vampire Penguin out after dinner and it was better than we expected! We loved the vibe as soon as we walked in. The decor, laid back atmosphere, and welcoming owners. We decided to try strawberry cheesecake, Smore’O, and coconut cream. Is it shaved ice? Is it ice cream? Whatever it is, it’s delicious! We really enjoyed all 3 flavors but the coconut cream was probably the favorite. It was a fun experience trying something new and our kids can’t wait to come back to try more flavors. Vampire Penguin hits the spot when you want something sweet but the bonus is that afterwards you don’t feel like you need to be rolled out to your car! We bought one of their cute shirts before we left too. So glad we found this great place and we will definitely be back!
