In a world where restaurants come and go like clockwork, it takes a lot for an eatery to become a staple of the community that lasts for decade after decade. One such shop is the little PeNGUIN Ice Cream & Snack Bar in Masonville. From the outside, it doesn’t look like much, but this tiny little shack is home to so many tasty treats! The soft-serve ice cream here is delicious and it’s so obvious that everyone involved takes so much pride in serving their community.

PeNGUIN originally opened in the early 1960s in Sidney, New York. Just a few years later, the owners had to sell when a highway construction was planned on top of the original site. The new shop was opened up in Masonville.

The restaurant is aptly named. They love penguins here! There are tons of stuffed penguins all over the place.
