The best dessert in American Fork / Lehi. Hard to describe... Like what a shaved ice was meant to be before it disappointed its parents. Or if an ice cream cake and a shaved ice had a baby.Soft and fluffy, sweet but not overwhelming, melt in your mouth flavors with fresh toppings! So good.

This was my first time going to Vampire Penguin. It was quite an experience! The restaurant was very clean and well maintained.The inside of the restaurant looks like a vampire castle. Pretty awesome if you ask me!The staff was very friendly and gave great service. We will definitely be coming back here.

We LOVE Vampire Penguin! We discovered it a couple years ago, and love introducing all of our friends and family to it whenever we get the chance! My go to is always the banana cream pie, and my husbands is the Smoreo. The pumpkin pie and strawberry cheesecake are also delicious! The perfect treat and hang out spot.

A cute little restaurant with friendly staff and sweet treats. Its hard to describe what it tasted like. I got a strawberry cheesecake flavored shaved ice. The ice tastes somewhat like ice cream but extremely light and airy. Its a nice refreshing treat that doesnt leave you feeling like you had too much dairy or sweet. I would highly recommend!

Light and fluffy and delicious! Not crazy sweet, but so flavorful!! And 75 calories to boot. My (and my kids) new favorite desert ♥️🎉

Such a fun and unique dessert. Creamy yet still light. Not like any Shaved ice youve had before. Really enjoyed it.

After road tripping from FL to CA and stopping many times along the we found this dessert shop and oh what a find indeed!! This was the best dessert that we tasted along our way which took us through Nashville, New Orleans, Houston, Reno to mention a few to CA. Talk about a tasty treat, its like eating flavored air its so smooth and takes your taste buds on a ride to space and back. I would recommend this dessert shop to everyone.Ron H

This place just became a new favorite. Kids loved to make their own, while my husband and I had the strawberry cheesecake. Amazing.

Came here after hearing about it from some family. It did not disappoint!! Never had anything like it. The shaved ice has such a crumbly texture and is super light. Everything tasted really good. The fruit flavors were my favorite ones. Would totally recommend to others!

Review №11

Great atmosphere. Gets pretty loud when full. I am only rating based on what I ordered, which was the mint chocolate option. Presentation was fantastic, but the taste was very dark chocolate dominate, and not in a good way. The mint was so faint, and the dark chocolate so strong, that after a small handful of bites I could eat anymore.If I go back, it will be to try something else.

I would describe this place as gourmet snow cones. DELICIOUS! I am so excited I came and keep coming back with friends and family. Everyone I bring loves it as well. Not too sweet, great flavors!

Really fun theme and decor. So random, and it’s great. The shaved ice is great too, some interesting and delicious flavors. I’m coming back to try some different ones!

This place is amazing! Not what I expected at all. Their desserts are like a mix between ice cream and shaved ice. It’s so fluffy, and flavorful! Really good and unique dessert! Definitely a yummy, fancy dessert place! You got to try it to fully understand what it’s like! I’ve never had a dessert like this before.

Review №15

Just went here for the first time. As a family we got the strawberry cheesecake, root beer float, Mexican candy, and a coffee on I can remember the name of. We all loved them so much. We ended up trying each others and there wasnt a single one we each didnt like. This is our families new favorite dessert place.

Awesome Shaved Ice!! Yes the Vampire Penguins do know how to mix and match the flavors. Pina Colada was so good.

Review №18

I can’t believe someone understands my tastes. I believe The Mexican candy is what I’ve been looking for in every snow cone, slushee or shaved ice, I’ve ever had. It’s like I finally found what I was missing. They are friendly, they value quality and delivery a beautiful, low calorie delight with fresh ingredients. A thousand times better than ice cream, especially if you prefer something more refreshing and less dense. I can’t get enough.

They have delectable shaved snow. I highly recommend this place for a nice frozen treat

If you want a light fluffy delicious cloud of happiness in your life right now you have to go here. My fiancé and I got the Peach, Mango, Strawberry (PMS lol) flavor topped strawberries, condensed cream, and whipped cream added and WOW so creamy and amazing!! Best texture Ive had in a shaved ice ever, and weve had Korean shaved ice before in California, so we know our stuff and handsdown this place is absolutely the best ice in the entire world, I swear. It cant get any better than this, has the texture of cake its so dense. Absolutely going back. We were hooked from the first bite!!! And the employees are so friendly too!

Review №21

Light, fluffy, delicious shave ice masterpieces. We got the large Mexican Candy, and Chocolate Peanut Butter and they were much more than enough for six of us. The larges are around $9, smalls are $7. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to go back to regular shave ice. I was also very happy with the customer service. They went out of their way to pack our orders in ice so we could take them home to our kids. Love this place!

The best shaved ice I have ever tasted. Male your own creation or choose from a number of pre-designed flavor combinations.This is a perfect place to have a special treat. The atmosphere is nice and the owners are pleasant and accommodating.We will definitely be back.

This was a unique and magical experience. My mouth was very confused. Is it snow cone? Or is it ice cream?? In the words of my autistic three year old, “yum! Hey that’s mine!” I had the last bite!

Really nice employees! They knew exactly what to do to prepare celiac friendly dessert. The texture of the ice is amazing, it’s like eating a cold cloud! Will recommend this place to all my friends.

Review №29

The food itself was ok, an interesting taste for sure, but its just not great in my opinion. The flavors are very muted and nothing special. The worst part for our experience was watching the manager loudly berate the staff right in front of us. Its one thing to teach your staff and correct but it was just uncomfortable for all of us to sit 5 feet away from a manager loudly and rudely telling the staff off

Love this place and the decor. I think sometimes the food is a little slow getting out, and limited seating rn due to cv19. But really tasty. High quality food.

Review №31

It was very good shaved ice. It reminds me of when I went to Japan and had flavored shaved ice for the first time. I really like the Boba, it melted or exploded in your mouth.

I cant believe Ive seen these before and never gone in. The small portion was huge and was absolutely delicious. I had the orange dreamscape and it tasted just like the orange cream sickle of my youth. I look forward to coming again sometime!

This place was amazing! It takes shaved ice to a whole new level! Right from entering the restaurant, the experience was great! The decoration has a great vibe that made us feel like we could stay there all night. The employee that was there was fantastic! She was very nice and followed up with us when we had finished to see how we liked the desserts. The desserts themselves were outstanding! The presentation of each was beautifully done and the flavors were dynamic! We got three different classics which were: strawberry cheesecake, Mexican candy, and polar affogato. They were all quite delicious. We will definitely be coming back for more.

Just imagine a snow cone and ice cream had a baby....what would it taste like?Heaven..... Pure. Blissful. Unicorn-and-rainbows Heaven.Vampire Penguins snow is light airy and absolutely delightful. And with less than half the calories of regular ice cream, you can try one (or four....i dont judge😘) of their incredible flavors without the guilt!

Amazing! Came from out of town and will be visiting again in the future. Dutch apple pie and strawberry cheesecake were our favorites. Hands down our favorite dessert place in Utah because of the unique concept and delicious flavors.

Review №39

First time here. This is not a snow cone shack. This is much better than that. They have some gluten-free options and some dairy-free options. This is an excellent ice cream alternative. Quick service, probably because its still kind of an unknown in American Fork. Definitely coming back. $7/small tax included. Pro Tip: Resist the urge to spoon from the top down. The snow cake stays together better when you go from the bottom up.

Love this Place, will be back again soon. We got a few different flavors and loved them. I did a build your own with chocolate and oreo. So many options and best part is you dont get the brain freeze.

The dessert place we needed but didnt know it! The staff is super friendly and the desserts are amazing. I got the twix one and really enjoyed it. The portions look really big but are just fluffed up so its not too much to eat. Young kids might wanna share

I’ve had shaved ice before, but never have I had anything like this before. When they said it’s shaved snow, they weren’t kidding. The texture was like actual snow! Plus the flavors are so good. I will definitely come back here.

The service was excellent. The restaurant was clean with nice decor. The food was well made, but wasnt my favorite. I went with a chocolate flavor, I think I should have gone with something fruity it might have mixed with the ice better.

A fancy twist on shaved ice. On the advice of the cashier, we tried the strawberry cheesecake and the twix. The two flavors complemented each other well.

Not what I expected at all from a shaved ice place. It’s like a creamy shaved ice & SO good. Def recommend for some quality, light dessert.

Review №63

I didnt care for this at all. The flavors were off. Oreo ended up being so ground up it tastes like chocolate frozen water. Peanut butter tasted like dehydrated/powdered peanut butter. Just strange. I prefer a real snowcone with cream on it vs this watered down snowcone milk.

A M A Z I N GIt’s got to be some kind of witchery or magic, because it’s not ice cream, but it sure tastes like it, but without the weight… pure magic.10/10 would recommend, and we’re already planning our next trip back!!

Went with my husband and loved this place so much that my co-workers and I scheduled a lunch event for our team to try them out. We got there at 12:15 pm on a Wednesday, but the place was closed and no one answered the phone even though posted hours said it should be open. The whole team was so disappointed wed gone for nothing!

This place is so neat! It has a sophisticated vibe, sporting a dark color palate, but the desserts are stunningly enjoyable. I really love the owner, she was happy to help me out and recommended I try her favorite flavor, mango. Its like if Kinetic sand and ice cream had a cloud child, and the flavor is spot on. Very worth the price, Ill be going back soon.

So hard to describe this type of dessert but it is unique and delicious! It seriously has the texture of freshly fallen snow - light, fluffy, but not icy! The perfect mixture of creaminess and fluff! The owner is the sweetest and we enjoyed learning about how the business started from her. Definitely will be coming back - and cannot recommend trying this out! Such a fun change from traditional ice cream or cookies!
