Vampire Penguin
Vampire Penguin is the perfect spot to enjoy a cold sweet treat after a day on the beach. The gourmet snow desserts are so good!
They have fun flavor options with great toppings. I love that you can get popping boba on a snow dessert.
I am pretty sure my husband is on a mission to work his way through the entire menu. He tries something new every time we visit.
Outdoor Seating
There are picnic tables with umbrellas spread around the patio for enjoying your sweet treats. There are great games and sometimes bubbles for kids to play with while soaking in the Florida Gulf Coast weather.
