Love a good shaved ice? A sure sign that warmer weather is on the way is the re-opening of the shaved ice establishments in Upstate. Most people have their favorites. Which is funny, because really it’s all just the same. Some sort of crumbled up ice topped with sugary syrup. Right?
Well, what if I told you the newest frozen obsession for a bunch of Upstate, SC residents was different than the rest?
What if I also told you that people stand in lines two dozen people deep waiting to get their hands on one of these “Instaworthy” desserts?
It’s TRUE. All of it.
About Penguinos Hermanos Shaved Ice
Newly introduced to the Upstate several years ago, the owners of the Penguinos Hermanos Raspados quickly found themselves needing a second, and third truck added to their fleet. Last year they added a fifth! I bet you’re probably wondering what the fuss is about?
Fresh fruit syrup, that’s what makes the difference. Once you try a shaved ice this way, you’ll be ruined for any other kind. I have seen people stand in the pouring rain waiting to get one. And, I was standing right there alongside them.
They are that good.
Most of the options include freshly made fruit syrups layered with sweet cream or mango syrup poured over shaved ice.
The Specialty flavors are $7 and come in so many delicious flavors!

They are definitely a share-able size, although once you start I doubt you’ll want to hand it off.
Fresh fruit, not your jam (haha get it??) That’s OK, they also have traditional shave ice with the flavored syrups you can find elsewhere.
They offer all the local favorites including tigers blood, and a small is just $4
