What happened to this place...the ice isn't shaved and they're stingy with the syrup. Last time I'll be coming here.

Came through today to get my seasonal watermelon snowcone. It cost $5 for a large but they didn't ask for a tip on the machine or anything, which honestly I wouldn't have minded tipping on but I just mention it because I know the tipping fatigue is a thing. Anyway my snowcone was super tasty and they gave me a flat top (maybe cause they saw I was the only one in the car and driving- which I was appreciative of). Had plenty of syrup and that handed it over very quickly after I placed my order. Watermelon isn't on their menu posted outside but they still carry it. This has definitely become my go to snowcone place living in the midcities. read more

Al's Snowball - Large Watermelon flat top snow cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bedford, Texas

honestly it sucks to see als go downhill years ago i would've given it 5 stars but my childhood memories of coming here after a hot summer day are over considering i've tried to go 4 days in a row and they can't simply update the hours online because they claim to be open but no one is serving out the window read more

Love Al's! It's our go to snow cone stand. They never skimp on syrup and great for hot TX summer evenings! The strawberry shortcake is fantastic, so is the wedding cake, ninja turtle.... Plenty of flavors to choose from and they never disappoint. Also very reasonably priced! $1.50 for kids up to $5.00 for a gigantic cup. Friendly service and great treat! Great job Al's!!! read more

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SNOW-CONE SHOP!! Me and my family have been coming here for YEARS and every time we come we are always so pleased with the experience, the workers are always so kind and do everything perfect all the time! The atmosphere is amazing and me as well as my family will continue coming here for years. In fact, we love this place so much we always get so sad when they close for winter so we were so excited to hear that they were going to be open for winter this year!! The snow comes they serve are always DELICIOUS and i always want more!! Definitely 5 stars ALL AROUND read more

This place is an absolute joke!! It's a snowcone place yet they're stingy with the ice?. It's more like a slush than a snowcone. Paid 7.25 for 2 measly wannabe "snowcones" that were so distasteful we trashed them.. do yourself a favor and drive far pass this place.. this place don't even deserve one star read more

They take credit cards!!! What else do you need to know about a snowcone place??? They're tasty and cheap and they make puppy snowcones! Get one for your dog, too!!! read more

This location is NOT CLOSED. They are a seasonal business... This snocone stand is super close...too close! LOL All of the employees are amazingly friendly and helpful. I have had many flavors but always go back to my favorite (blue bubblegum, cotton candy, poison ivy) if you like sour, Poison Ivy is a great flavor. The wait is not very long but they do get busy and the space for parking/waiting in line is limited so be prepared :) The only thing I would love to see from this business is new flavors and maybe weekly special flavors. read more

Average however prepare for an extremely long wait and for the girls at the window to be condescending. The snow ones are okay for $3.

I love Al's!! It's just a skip away from my apartment and they have a drive thru...no seriously they do, lazy people can I get an amen? Lol Secondly, and most importantly...they have dill pickle snow cones. No, not pickle flavoring...actual pickle juice like from the jar. I'm so very grateful that this was thought of and executed..because my semi frequent pickle cravings can now be satisfied in the form of a snow cone :) Yes I've tried other flavors from the sugar free selections (they actually taste REALLY good and have like less than 10 calories) I really like raspberry/cherry/or strawberry mixed with vanilla or lime. Any variety of those combos haven't disappointed yet. Tigers blood is also a delicious selection if ur not in the mood to be creative ;) haven't tried any of the regular sugary flavors, though I'm sure they are wonderful!! I prefer to spare my waist of the empty calories. Prices? Cheap. Less than $2 anytime I've gone and the "small" cups are a good size. Plus it would be hard to clear a large before it melted. I salute you if you can withstand the brain freeze lol They always have really nice kids working the window and they are really helpful with flavor suggestions. Go try a pickle snow cone!! Now! :) :) read more

Al's Snowball - Banana snowcone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bedford, Texas

Very family friendly, loved it. Tasted good, wasn't too much syrup or too little. Just the right amount.

First time buying a snowcone here. The top mound of ice tastes great, plenty of syrup and flavor. Just past that mound is nothing but slightly flavored shaved ice. About halfway down there is no syrup. $3.10 plus .90 tip makes for a very expensive cup of ice. Certainly not interested in coming back. read more

A-ok! Al's Snowballs has the classic flavors and offers a good way to cool off. Its located on the west side of Bedford, further away from its competitors across town, so its often times really busy! Their ice always seems choppy and a little un-smooth to me. And until recently their young staff haven't always been the friendliest. I'm happy to report though, that my last visit (two days ago!) the employees were very friendly, swift and polite! Its a good go-to when you're sweltering from the Texas summer sun. read more

Al's Snowball has been around for at least 25 years and I know this for a fact because when I was in Junior High my younger sister sneaked out my moped and took our younger sister here and had wreck on the way back and we all had to lie to our parents and say she was just driving around the neighborhood. Anyhoo, Al's Snowball has been a favorite of our family for many years. The other day my sisters and I were talking about our very fond memories here - our dear Daddy who recently had a stroke loved this place and would frequently come home bearing everyone's favorite flavor. We had a conversation in the hospital and he remembered everyone's favorite flavor! We will be back for more memories and yummy snow cones! read more

I cannot even express properly in words my love for Al's Snowball. I have been going here for over ten years and nothing makes me happier than knowing that Al's is open for the season. They do the best ice - its shaved super fine - and use some of the best syrup I've encountered. Thanks to Al's I'm a huge snoball/snocone snob and if the ice looks too big or the syrup tastes off I am instantly heartbroken and wishing I were in Bedford so I could just stop by Al's and get what I really want. They have a full menu and their creative flavors are some of the best ones. Ninja Turtles, Batman (which will leave your mouth pitch black), Nerds or my go to order - Carmel Apple where they layer real Carmel and green apple syrup in your snocone. Nothing is better to me than that. When I lived in California I would frequently comment on facebook on how I would do anything for an Al's Snowball and end up flooded with messages from people I grew up with and how much they love/miss/crave Al's as well now that we've scattered across the country. I make it a point to stop by as often as I can when I'm in town and Al's is open. Can't wait to go this year! read more

I've been going here since I moved to Bedford and hadn't experienced any bad customer until tonight. The young lady never greeted us and when I handed her the money, a quarter dropped from her hand and she just stared at me as if I did it. But I didn't say anything, I handed her another quarter and she walked away. She then returned with the snowballs which normally have soft ice, but this time the ice was hard and sharp. So I pulled up and sent the products back. She said she could not refund. I then decided to go and speak with her myself. She was helping another customer so I sat on the patio and when I saw she was done, I went to the window. She then walked off and never returned. I tapped the window and about 3 minutes later she walks up. Very monotone and impolite she asked, "can I help you?" I then asked, "when will the owner or supervisor be in?" She said with a smirk, I don't know. She explained that she told my daughter about her not refunding and I said I understood that policy. As I was about to suggest that maybe next time she give a heads up about the ice, she cut me off and said well what I can just give you another sno cone with an attitude. She then went on to say, that I held her line up when I fact I was pulled all the way up to the road and when the gentleman blew the horn I moved up again. I asked her name and she laughed and said, no I'm not giving you that and started closing the window on me. I said hello, she shrugged her shoulders, closed the window in my face, and walked away. I shall never return here again, especially if she's at the window Back to Bedford Snowball with more choices and a much friendlier staff. read more

Al's Snowball - the outside of a restaurant - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bedford, Texas

It's a sno-cone place. Hard to mess it up. Guy was friendly. Brought my toddler for her first sno-cone. This is "shaved" ice so pretty smooth. Like that they had sugar free flavored as I'm diabetic. NOTE: should have waited to bring 3 yo. She was wearing the grape flavoring within two bites. Mom not going to be happy read more

This place is definitely a great way to beat the TX summer heat! I have only tried 2 flavors so far but I do recommend the dreamsicle. They have sugar free ones too if that is your thing! They are juicy and the ice is shaved pretty fine which makes for the perfect snow cone. If you're feeling adventurous go for the pickle juice! I know that sounds strange but live a little. Just to say you've tried it. I plan on testing out some other flavors here soon. Oh, and bring cash...they don't take your visa. read more

If you want a good Snowcone in Bedford, go to Bedford Snowballs on Pipeline near Central. I went to Al's tonight, only because I know that at 7:30 Bedford Balls would have a line 10 people deep. And why? Because it's extremely worth the wait. Al's is ok. The ice is really Flaky ice, not smooth snow. Like you can crunchy it between your teeth. There aren't THAT many flavors for a snowcone stand. They have weird prices, like $2.10 instead of just $2. And they charge taxes. It's not a big deal, but I've never had that with a snow cone. It's *just* a snow cone. Nothing remotely special about it. Nice people though, good service. No line. Like ever. For anyone who gives this place 5 stars, I feel like you clearly have never been to Bedford Snowball. Sincerely, the pregnant lady who is serious about her snowcones. read more

One star for being open before Memorial Day and one star for having friendly employees. However, adding an extra 35¢ for a "specialty flavor" (two syrup flavors) is ridiculous. The variety of flavors is not too varied. Finally, why not include tax in your prices? I had been here a couple of times, growing up, out of convenience. Now I know why I didn't frequent it. read more

I can not figure out why anybody would give this anything other than 5 stars. Lots of choices, fast and friendly service. Drive thru option. Super cheap. (They don't take credit cards--cash only, but it's so cheap you can scrounge up change, gauranteed). Super delicious. I love Al's. read more

Nice soft, smooth snow cones. Tons of flavors, always nice and strong. Additional options include sour squirt, cream, gummy bears, a piece of bubble gum or a hot cinnamon ball on top, scoop of vanilla ice cream on the bottom. There's a little patio to sit and enjoy your snow cone, and there's a drive-thru for those hot summer days when you just can't bring yourself to get out of your car. read more

The snowballs are pretty decent! Cash only though! A lot of different options the ice is not always super smooth could use some improvement but overall still tasty! I still keep coming back for the caramel Apple! They pour Caramel syrup on top and it is so delicious! The only thing I get from here! Yum! read more

Al's Snowball - The menu - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bedford, Texas

The past few times my family and I have gone there the staff was rude, not only were they rude this time EVERY bite we took there were pieces of plastic in our mouths. Needless to say we are beyond grossed out and will not be going back. read more

Super duper yummy!!! The perfect treat on a hot summer day Too bad we waited so late into the summer to try this. New to Bedford but we drive past here all of the time. Finally stopped in because the hubby behaved on our trip to the grocery store. The girls working there were very nice and we had great service. Son balls were delicious and can't wait for our next trip! read more

I like it I live near it and it's a fun to get snow cones and it's a good place to relax and watch the world also if you get the bubblegum flavor you get a free piece of gum read more

Preddy good snow cone. Kids could be a little friendlier though. I understand it's just a summer job, but customer service is just as important as the product. read more

They are very quick, affordable, and friendly. This place is a must try during these hot summer days.

Biased because this was my neighborhood snowcone joint growin up, but id go to Bedford Snoballs instead.

I LOVE this place! Friendly service with speedy delivery makes it 100% worth it! The snow-cones are cheap but perfect for a hot day. I would recommend the rainbow snow-cone because it is superb! read more

what an AWFUL experience! to start, I walk up to two people smoking sitting in front of the stand..only to find out that they were the people that were going to be making our snow cones. I figured they'd wash their hands..but no. GROSS. & then when they begin to ring up TWO SMALL snow cones and the young man at the register tells me the total is over $6 I'm thinking "huh?!" I ask how, considering the snow cones are $1.69 each and end up with the window slammed in my face. completely ridiculous! read more

Nobody was there, i waited 10 full minutes! Bad customer service! I will go to bedford snowball from now on!

Love their snow cones!!! So sad I didn't find out about this place until I was about to move. They have the real deal shaved ice, that is smooth and not like crushed ice. They even have fun flavor combos like ninja turtles and spongebob. Never thought I would find a place that compares to Coco's Snow Cones in Waco, amazing! read more

Best snowcone place I've been to, hands down. There are so many flavors and fun specialties to choose from. Would recommend to anyone who wants a snowcone that's cheap and good. read more

It's convenient due to proximity to where I live. They can never get my order right. Meaning they do not know what "light on the juice" means. Light juice means 1/2 the bottle to them. When you order cream, you get a slight dribble. I get it, it's just a sno cone, but I don't what a cup full of syrup. read more

First time ever. I was looking for ice cream but didn't want a chain so I found this place via Google. It's in a residential area and looks quaint. Long line for the drive through and had to wait about 30 mins to get to window. I wanted a milkshake. They don't do that. Then asked for two scoops on a cake cone. They serve the ice cream in styrofoam cups only. Rock hard. Their freezer is too cold and it's hard to scoop you're ice cream with the plastic spoon. The ic is average. An ok place. read more
