Our Story

It was love at first sight! As a former chef with a passion for food, people, and community, I remember the first time I saw “Shaved Snow” on social media. Instantly curious about the NAME and the SNOW, I had to find a way to taste it! After researching Vampire Penguin Shaved Snow & Desserts and the opportunities in the Virginia market, I knew I wanted to build a legacy for my family.

I pitched my plan to my wife over lunch during the pandemic, and the rest is history. We opened a cozy 1100 sq. ft shop in Glen Allen, our Twin Hickory location, and after some initial growing pains, we perfected our menu with a mix of Shaved Snow, Bubble Teas, Milkshakes, Lemonades, and more. We've since expanded into Chesterfield and the Tuckahoe zip code near the University of Richmond.

This shaved snow is truly a must-try — not a snow cone, not ice cream, but a perfect blend of both. Stop by, say hello, and enjoy something from our menu that promises to bring a smile to your face.

 

Sincerely,

Ray Penkalski III
