Rich, tropical coconut blended with a hint of vanilla bean. Creamy texture, pure island vibes, zero guilt.

Penguin Pete's started with a simple conviction: shaved ice should taste like the fruit it's named after — not like sugar water and food coloring. What began as a summer stand in Waco quickly became a destination for anyone who believes that the best treats are made with intention.
Every batch of ice is shaved fresh, every syrup is mixed in-house, and every flavor is tested until it earns a place on our menu. We source real fruit, quality dairy, and natural extracts because shortcuts never produced anything worth remembering.
Today, Penguin Pete's serves Waco and the greater Central Texas area with the same dedication that made us a local favorite from day one. Whether you're stopping by for your first cup or your hundredth, we make sure every scoop feels like a treat worth saving for.
What sets us apart isn't one thing — it's the sum of every decision we make, from sourcing to the final sprinkle.
Our ice is shaved to a snow-like consistency that melts on contact — never gritty, never icy, just pure silk.
Every syrup is mixed in small batches using real fruit juice, natural sweeteners, and zero artificial dyes or preservatives.
From birthdays to corporate events, we bring the frozen goodness to you. Custom flavors and full service setups.
This is a family business built on community. Every cup is made with the same care we'd use for our own table.
