  Best Ice Creamery around. Super wide variety to choose from. Made to order flavors and toppings. Very reasonably priced. Welcome families, picnic tables over looking scenic meadow and mountain side. Also, Pet friendly with specialty made PUP cups.

  The ice cream is life altering! I was looking at property for a client and came across Penquin ice cream. The flavor exploded in my mouth. Super fresh. The cream comes from a dairy down the street. What a great experience. Gwen the owner very accommodating and nice. I will definitely be back to try all 51 flavors and the rest of the menu. Thank you so much for making my day with ice cream!

  While exploring the Masonville area, I came across this little place and decided to stop for lunch. I ordered a Penguin Burger with Fries and my girlfriend ordered a Grilled Cheese. The burger, grilled cheese, and fries were all delicious! The burger tasted extremely fresh, so fresh I would have thought they went out back and got it straight from the cow. The seasoning on it was perfect. The fries were absolutely amazing. Thick, fresh cut fries, the kind I love so much! They were lightly salted, perfection at best. After eating our lunch, the girlfriend talked me into ice cream as well. She ordered the baby peanut butter in a dish (not pictured) and I ordered the baby strawberry banana in a dish. Now here's why I gave Penguin a 4 star rating. Upon getting my ice cream, I was excited! It looked delicious! The girlfriend said hers tasted so good and I definitely enjoyed mine until I hit the half way point of the dish. The strawberry banana flavor was perfect! The ice cream was somewhat stiff and not as creamy as I thought it would be since it was soft serve, no points deducted for that; to me ice cream is good no matter if it's soft or hard lol. Now let's get back to that 4 star and the half way point of my dish, upon hitting the half way point I noticed and tasted something strange with my ice cream. I tasted chocolate, which I'm not a fan of chocolate....I know what you're thinking, what is wrong with me, right? Lol....well I stopped and moved the strawberry banana ice cream to the side to notice there was chocolate and what looked like vanilla in the bottom of my cup. Totally disappointed at this point, I threw away the cup. I didn't finish my ice cream. Upon pulling up the business on Google maps to write my review, I saw someone's review stating how they "love the surprise flavor at the bottom of every cone". I'm sorry, but leave the surprises to birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, and magic tricks. If I order strawberry banana, I expect it to be strawberry banana all the way to the bottom. Bottom line I was really impressed with their food, but the ice cream "surprise", not so much. Will I stop here again? Definitely, but it won't be for ice cream!
