This place is awesome! The staff was incredibly nice and the sweet treats are absolutely delightful. It isnt ice cream, it isnt like a snow cone. Its a super fine shaved, flavored ice. Snow cream has been improved. Most flavors are non-dairy and there are sugar free options as well. It is very light and isnt over-filling. Stop by for a tasty treat.

This place is unique and we absolutely loved it! If you want a unique flavor with a twist on ice cream/shaved ice, its a must try!

Nice local spot. Definitely different than regular ice cream. Not much flavor besides toppings. Kind of expensive. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Absolutely delicious. I wasnt sure what to expect, but it was great! Loved the mango watermelon with Tajik. It was really a nice light dessert.

Nice staff, weird spooky Halloween themed store, absolutely love the place! The desserts you get were definitely weird. Felt as if you were eating flavored snow.

Anderson doesnt have many dessert options, luckily this is the only one it needs. We were extremely impressed with how delicious this was! It tasted just like a fluffy icecream, with yummy toppings and great presentation. Very light, so you can definitely eat one all to yourself without feeling stuffed. No need to feel bad after or worry about crashing after. We had the smores and the polar affogatto, both were great! You cant go wrong with their menu.The owners were so nice to meet, and really love their dessert shop and their product. We will definitely be back!

Went tonight for the 1st time with my son for dessert. Great way to end our mommy/son date night!!!! We got the Reeses snow dessert and it was amazing!!! I cant believe that this is a cold dessert. The presentation was beautiful and the price was fair. We got the small for $7 and split it. Big enough for both of us after just eating dinner. Girl at the counter was very friendly. We cant wait to come back and try all the other flavors!!! Ive already told some of my friends as well 😊

VP is a great family-owned dessert shop that has a unique ambiance, wonderful service, and endless menu options. Theres something for everyone!Try the Strawberry Cheesecake or Coffee/Vanilla - theyre surprisingly light and creamy. Recommended!

This place is unique in the frozen dessert market. They are well decorated around the theme of the vampire penguin 🐧 and a few funny friends. The shaved ice is like packed snow not chunky ice. They have a large variety of flavor combinations, and you can build your own. Our whole family from age 6 to 60+ enjoyed the experience.

Amazing, almost a cross between very smooth shaved ice and soft serve ice cream.

Review №17

Softest snow treat I’ve ever had. It’s not too sweet, has refreshing flavors, and each bite feels like a cloud. I’m told from the owner (I assume who I spoke with, very courteous and hospitable btw) that his special process is creating the ice with the flavor before shaved into snow. I know it’s challenging to get the consistency but I think he got it right. I live in Greenville area but I’m definitely would come to anderson for this treat!!!

Mexican candy. My love for sweet and spicy runs deep. And this did not disappoint, as soon as I saw it on the menu I uncontrollably yelled it out. And it tasted exactly how I thought it would. Immaculate.

It’s not your average shaved ice. It is Amazing. Creamy, powdered ice with the flavor of your choice. You have to try it. It’s just different.we visited the Anderson location Friday April 2. The service was great. We will definitely be going back.

Service is amazing. The dessert looks great and tastes great. The dessert is different from pelicans and not ice cream. Also, the dessert is a lot more healthier than other dessert(75 calories per snow).

What a unique dessert place! Not really ice cream, not really shaved ice; something in between. Very enjoyable. What I loved was it was vegan. I cant have dairy so the Vampire Penguin is the perfect place for me. My 14 year old niece is vegan; shes going to love it.I gave it 4 stars due to the high prices. They do give you a very nice sized portion, but a bit pricey.

Called a few minutes after 4 to be sure they where open (I was assured they were) showed up at 6 to find another hand written note stating closed to restock same as before.

I tried Vampire Penguin for the first time today and I must say, I think I’ve found a new addiction ❣️You won’t even believe it’s shaved ice !!! The small Twix was so delicious, I wanted to go back and get another before they closed for the night. The gentleman handed me a punch card with my delicious treat, and believe you, me I will be back !!!

Asked the guy at the register if the options are dairy free, he said yes as long as we don’t get whipped cream and/or condensed milk. Was very skeptical after tasting it, looked on the website for allergen information and the ingredients include nonfat milk. Lucky for them we don’t have anyone anaphylactic, but we do have people who cannot have dairy. Get to know your ingredients in YOUR products!

Review №61

I will say...the strawberry cheesecake was good...but I paid $11.50 for ONE because they charged me 1.50$ for a to-go box. I feel as this is bad customer service. One small Togo box for $1.50 because their truck didnt come. Thats not the customers fault.

Its the fanciest shaved ice you will ever eat. Like if shaved ice went to law school and started wearing a monocle it would one day become Vampire Penguin.

I gave two stars because the owner was extremely friendly and personable and good service, but I thought the product itself was very forgettable and extremely overpriced for what it is. I got the strawberry shortcake.
