About

A Sweet Legacy Built for Glen Allen

It was love at first sight. As a former chef with a passion for food and community, I remember the first time I saw this magical “Shaved Snow” on social media. I was instantly captivated—not just by the name, but by this unique creation. How could I possibly get a taste of something so different? After diving into the story behind Vampire Penguin Shaved Snow & Desserts, I saw an opportunity to bring this experience to Virginia.

Determined to build a legacy for my children and family, I laid out my plan over a lunch date with my wife (and business partner) right in the middle of the pandemic. It didn’t take long before we were all in, and the journey began. I flew to Florida to meet other family-owned Vampire Penguin locations and, after tasting our signature menu options, I knew this was it.

That’s how we found our home here in Twin Hickory, Glen Allen, a quaint West End community, and opened our 1100-square-foot shop. The rest, as they say, is history.

What Makes Shaved Snow Different?

At Vampire Penguin, Shaved Snow isn’t just another dessert—it’s a local sensation. Imagine the fluffiness of snow but with all the rich flavor of ice cream, only it’s not milk-based. Light, airy, and packed with flavor, our Shaved Snow is the perfect treat for any time of year. We love calling it “The Twin Hickory Delight” because it’s just as unique and special as the community we serve.

After perfecting our menu with the help of our amazing customers, we now offer a variety of favorites, from fresh fruit toppings to bubble teas, milkshakes, and refreshing lemonades. There’s something for everyone, and that’s a promise we take seriously.
