      I work down the street from this place & my husband and I decided to stop by here yesterday because it was so hot. They have a lot of flavor selections and even specialty selections I ended up getting the mangonada. The service was welcoming ! Loved the girl in the front she was so sweet!!. My husband got the Airborne snocone, I got a second one it was strawberry shortcake with condensed milk & I got my niece the fairy snocone. Everything was fluffy and tasted delicious! Definitely will be back probably today ! This place is perfect for a hot summer day. They also do hosting which I will definitely do for my daughter's 3rd birthday party !

      This place is amazing! Our to go spot when we visit Norfolk.

      The snow ones are delicious so many flavors to choose from. I love that you can add ice cream to them also!

      Servers are always friendly and super quick.

      Definitely give them a try!

      The SnoBalls are delicious - and relatively quick to come out after ordering - but they are pricey at $4.00 for a kid's size and only go up from there when you add in any toppings, and of course, they ask for a tip.

      The actual outdoor seating area is plagued by bees or yellow jackets of some sort making it really quite unusable for sitting and enjoying.

      Probably will not go back.

      Wonderfully creative and refreshing. Quite a sketchy area to go through in order to get to this location as an out-of-town visitor. Not too sweet like other shaved ice places can get. The outdoor seating with umbrellas was a nice touch on a scorching 95 degree day. This was a nice break from the standard ice cream place.

      Excellent selection of snowballs! Everything from classic blue razberry to a cheesecake one with a FULL slice of cheesecake! Never had anything like the selection here!
      I had the togerblood and blue raz sigar free. The kids had the cheesecake, chocolae lovers and the mermaid. They LOVED them!
      Good prices too! Check em out!

      Shaved ice on a hot summer day! I love this little stand. I love how it always stays so busy but the line goes quick! There are so many flavors to choose from... but I always get the same thing. My favorite is pina colada with condensed milk-it's so good and sweet.

      Of course when I take my kids, they get all the adventurous flavors and then I get to sample theirs. LOL! The kiddie size that I usually get is pretty satisfying but of course they offer larger sizes as well.

      For $3 a cup, its less than a drink from Starbucks so I'm ok with that. I like that it's right on the main street but the parking lot is tiny. I'll still stop by.

      My Nieces Pieces and I stopped here after a day at fun & hot day at Oceanview Beach! They were so excited about the creative snowball combos. Heck I even stepped of my comfy zone!

      This place is heaven sent after a long hot summer day. We will be back to try new flavs......well I hope they can get pass the Unicorn

      Excuse my half eaten pix but it's about enjoying the moment first! #elevatedexperiences

      I love going to Penguin's SnoBalls. Especially on those hot summer days we just had during the summer. I always get the strawberry daiquiri kiddie size snoball. They know to make it just right. The service is the best they greet you with a smile. When they come to the window to take your order. They are very courteous, professional. I will definitely continue to go there to get SnoBalls. Whenever they are open whether it summer or fall.

      Sweet reward for my kids after 2 mile Covid Phase 2 walk. Great service with a smile from Akyra. Good signage: mask/social distancing, no smoking, and menu branding. All prices include tax. They accept credit cards and Apple Pay. Large selection of flavors; can choose multiple flavors on 1 snowball for no added cost, number depends on size option.

      Alas, $16 for 4 kiddie (12oz, $3 ea) snow cones (2 "stuffed" with soft serve, +$2 ea) is a bit pricey. Kids' flavor faves: cola, cherry, blue raspberry. Not so bueno flaves: pineapple and cookies n cream.

      No restrooms but lots of parking in shared lot. Several places to sit but most in full sun, very little shade. Painted spots on the ground help enforce social distancing while ordering. Be prepared to wait if you have a decent sized order and/or other customers are present.

      Snow cones were amazing and they have all the topping you could think of wanting on a snow cone and more. They were nice and friendly, but be prepared to wait for your cone especially if there is a line. If you have to wait though there is nice benches to sit on. I got the raspberry with condensed milk and it was pretty good. The coquito was also great!
