The service was fast, the ice cream was good, and the people were nice. I really liked that you can really make any combination you would like. It was overwhelming at first, but the lady helped me choose by asking questions on things I liked and didn't like and was able to recommend something just for me. Will be back when I'm back in the area!
A fun take on snowballs or as I call them "snow-cones". Located on the perimeter of the lake Ella; this tasty treat is ideal on a hot day strolling around the park. There are multiple size cups available and an overwhelming number of flavors to choose from. You have the choice of traditional snowballs to decadent snowballs stuffed with ice-cream in the middle. You know I had to have decadence. The strawberry berry shortcake was de-li-cious! Although sweet, as expected, the ice-cream in the middle was a nice touch. I would definitely suggest you go try them out!
A delicious treat! Friend staff with a Small sitting area inside. Such a huge variety of flavors and options. A small is really enough for an enjoyable and filling treat.
A taste of New Orleans in Tallahassee! Growing up in Wisconsin, I only ever tried sno-cones and always felt a bit underwhelmed by the idea. This meant that when I moved to Tallahassee and saw a few snowball places scattered, I never gave them a second thought. Well, I'm glad I finally gave (real) snowballs a try and came to Big Easy Snowballs! These are nothing like the sno-cones of my childhood and have easily become my new favorite summer treat! You start with base of finely shaved ice, add in a scope of ice cream at the center, and drizzle on your favorite syrup flavors, including cream ones made with sweet and condensed milk for extra sweetness. I love the strawberry and blackberry with the ice cream center, but the more herbal flavors are probably my favorites now. Even the small I had was a bit large for me, though, so choose accordingly, but I've sure you'll love every bit!
Big Easy is the perfect spot to cool down on a hot summer day (and honestly, their snow balls are so delicious that I would eat one on a 35-degree January day)! My favorite thing about these is that you don't run out of flavor after a few bites- these are one million percent better than any stadium snow cones. I have been about three times since Memorial Day weekend and it never disappoints!
Big Easy Snowballs has something for everyone with 150 different flavors, including succulent cream flavors and sugar free varieties. The specialty of the house is a "stuffed" snowball - a regular snowball in any flavor stuffed in the middle with French Vanilla soft serve ice cream.
My youngest is a huge sno cone fan and she was in love with Big Easy Snowballs. She ordered the medium in sour lemon and raspberry and it was more than enough. I also like they offer soft serve as an alternative for my older daughter that won't eat sno cones and local, Lucky Goat, coffee. Great location on the water with lots of Poke stops by for Pokémon Go players.
Great little place that adds some flair to Tallahassee's otherwise boring culinary scene. The idea of a New Orleans snowball is sort of like a snow cone but not. Don't call it a snow cone, either. The ice is a little bit finer than your regular snow cone. The flavor options here are plentiful. I was honestly sort of surprised that there were so many. I used to work at a snow cone place and I thought we had a lot of flavors, but Big Easy Snowballs really kicks it up a notch. Think s'mores snowballs, cookie dough snowballs, etc. There's a huge variety here. If you're overwhelmed or confused by the different types of snowballs and their flavors, just ask the people working there. They will gladly let you sample any flavor you want which I thought was really great since Big Easy offers so many different flavors. I got the sugar free red velvet cake but I tried the piña colada, tiger's blood (a snow cone classic) and green apple. All were really good. I felt in the mood for red velvet but the piña colada was a close runner up. The place was pretty busy when I went in and for a good reason. The snowballs are delicious and the place is located right by Lake Ella so you can sit and enjoy a cold refreshment on a warm Florida day.
Another great recommendation from our daughter for snowballs at Big Easy! Really nicely located on Lake Ella, even on the drizzly Friday we visited there was a nice family crowd. Tremendous variety of flavors here for snowballs which are New Orleans "shaved ice." You can also get your snowball stuffed with soft serve vanilla ice cream. The root beer snowball I selected was supremely delicious and so good! I also sampled both the mango, coconut snowball flavors! Wonderful as well! Worth checking out Big Easy snowballs is you're looking for a cool treat!
Not quite impressed. I bookmarked the big easy snowball awhile back and finally got time to try it out today on a whim. I ran into a friend and dragged her here to get her a birthday snowball when I learned it was her birthday. We ordered two mango stuffed snowballs in kiddie size. I like how they show the cup sizes on the wall. Let me warn you even the kiddie size is no kiddie. I can't imagine ordering a large. We got our snowballs and later found out they were not stuffed. It was my first time trying a stuffed snowball so I was a bit disappointed. We walked all the way back to let the staff know about that. They had to check our order first then admitted that they made a mistake. Kinda annoying but hey no biggie. We finally got our stuffed snowballs, yay! I did like the stuffed ice cream part a lot and the snowball was refreshing on a hot summer day. However, the flavor tasted very artificial and a bit too sweet towards the bottom of the cup. Plus they were stingy with the stuffed ice cream, boo! Overall, it's an ok snowball experience. I'm glad I came though and checked it off my list!

This isn't your normal sno-cone shop. Located in the heart of the Lake Ella shopping district, the area around it is beautiful, and the shops are unique and special. Therefore, so is Big Easy Snowballs by association. This cute little shop is a lot bigger than it looks on the outside. There isn't much seating inside, but that may be because they encourage you to sit outside at the tables by the lake. I didn't take a super long look at the offerings, but it was an extensive menu. My friend ordered a snow ball with ice cream inside (WHAT?) and it was amazing. The watermelon icy goodness and the creamy vanilla inside was a perfect combination. We ordered the small and we still couldn't finish it... yikes. But it was the best ending to a hot and humid Tallahassee day. read more

I'd been given a recommendation to go to Big Easy and heard that it was a staple location of Tallahassee. So after I finished eating lunch one day, I decided it would be a good time to take a walk around Lake Ella and test out these fancy snowcone concoctions! As I mentioned, this place is located in one of the shops on Lake Ella. It's a small and simple store, but packs a lot of flavor. When I first walked in, the staff was busy making snowcones, but they stopped briefly to greet everyone and do their work too. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, which is nice to see for a change. They have an extensive list of things you can try. You can put flavors and toppings together or buy some pre-made recipes. I decided to go for the Smores. The sizes they boast are true to the depictions given on the wall. Very big, very very big. And the prices are great too. One person could get full off of one of these and pay less than $5 dollars. The flavor of the smores was very interesting. The design of the cone and height that it possessed was a bit mesmerizing at first. When I first dipped my spoon into the mountain of flowing flavors, it was like they erupted out and I had to eat it as fast as I could before I lost all of the sugary goodness. (Descriptive right?) Of course I wrapped my cup in napkins and took a walk around the lake enjoying my treat. One odd thing you may not think about though is when all of the flavors melt together in an icy slush, the taste can get a bit weird, but other than that, I enjoyed it! read more

I grew up in the dry heat summers of California's Central Valley, where I would have snow cones (or shave ice as we call it, Hawaiian style) every Thursday night farmer's market. Now that I live here, I can literally get one every day... but I restrain myself. I am a tiger's blood purist, but the flavors at Big Easy is enough for you to come back every week for a year and you'll still have more to try. The prices are county-fair cheap, even for the large (I think $5+tax), and the staff are friendly and quick. They have kids movies playing on the tv in the back, most recently Encanto and The Lion King. I've seen people of all ages come in: babies, old people, teens, college students, and they all come walking out with colorful, delicious snow cones. The ice isn't too fine (unlike Italian ice) and they put just the right amount of syrup in so that the ice isn't drowning in it, yet all of it is seeped through with that sugary flavor. This is a must-go whenever I'm at lake Ella, which is like 2-3 times a week. Crunchy, cold, sweet! Everything you need for a stroll around the lake. Just don't litter. Catch me coming back here for the next 4-5 years and then crying when I have to move to do a post-doc. read more
My favorite dessert, lunch, snack--anything! Being lactose intolerant and Florida's heat--whew! I am at Big Easy constantly. The syrups are rich and the line is always long. For good reason. I love how no matter how busy they are, staff makes sure that if you need a sample, alway eager to get you a taste. Always coming back! read more

I was SO excited to try this place and finally talked my husband in to stopping today. We ordered a Mounds and a Strawberry Shortcake, tipped. My medium came in a small souvenir cup cause I guess they are out of medium cups- whatever, it's cool. Took our treats outside and had a nice time people watching, threw our garbage away and went home. Imagine my surprise to get home, open up Facebook and see a photo of my car posted by this business that went on about "these people" and complaining where we had parked. We had no idea it was an issue- no sign at this building, no cones, we simply parked where the car had left from when we arrived. What I do know is that I spend way too much time working to have to deal with that on a weekend. After the business deleted my response (noncursing, reasonable) on their page it finally took reporting the post to Facebook to have it removed. Unprofessional and nowhere I would ever go again. read more

Beignets!! They now have beignets and they are goooooooood! They are made to order and take a few minutes. It's fun to watch them being made and then you get them hot and fresh and covered in powdered sugar (optional). read more

Seeing as you disabled my ability to comment on your page: Being a fan of snowballs, I'm incredibly disappointed at your recent post describing millennials caring "more about anything and everything but working" and that "our future is decidedly less bright with this generation". As a hardworking, cash carrying, millennial, I certainly won't be spending my hard earned funds at Big Easy Snowballs anymore. One could make the assertion that insulting a little over 30% of the residents in your town of business is "decidedly less bright". Also "If we offended you with our comments, we apologize," is not a sufficient apology. Your anecdotal evidence of a few unreliable employees does not warrant an incredibly negative blanket generalization of an entire generation. Sans a genuine apology that addresses your statement that millennials are, by nature, lazy individuals, you will have not made amends. read more

I think the idea sounds better than it actually is. A massive, sugary snow cone filled with vanilla soft serve is enough to satisfy your sweet tooth for the next month. I got the pink berry and it was decent, a little too sweet for my liking. My friend got the dragon'a blood and she enjoyed hers. I would come back and try one of the sour flavors next time. read more
