The flavors list is endless and overwhelming almost and the service is always great. To top it off, they have a drive through which is super convenient, especially when it's crazy hot out and you'd rather do anything but stand in a line outside. They also take credit cards so you won't have to worry about having cash with you. Others items available such as different soft serve ice creams too. As another huge plus, absolutely ANY flavor on their menu can be made sugar free and tastes just as delicious! Cruise on over to the Sugar Shack and get you summadat!

But I think they used real Thai iced tea leaves to make it cuz there were little flakes that none of the other flavors had. My bf got satsuma and passion fruit. That was so tropical and citrus-y yum. And then I tried his sister's strawberry shortcake which tasted like the strawberry shortcake ice cream - delicious. The watermelon flavor also tasted just like watermelon. I loved how all the flavors didn't taste artificial at all. There's a line but it went pretty fast. You can see a lot of the photos inside from the 1950s to now - felt very old school.

Hansen's is a good, solid choice if you are looking for a sno-ball. They have been around for 86…read moreyears!! I like how they employ "the kids". Nostalgic to see, hard working summer jobs. You can not go to New Orleans without trying Hansens at least once. If you are local, its a really nice place to visit the evening of a hot day. I have tried the root beer, chocolate, cream of coconut, strawberry and spearmint. All have been tasty. For about $8-10 you can get a snow ball with a pineapple and cherry. For about $12-13 you can get marshmallow on top and I highly recommend this for the experience. Its typically a longer line but its part of the experience. When you go inside, its like a blast from the past. You are gonna have syrup all over the souvenir cup and all. They have many choices to choose from.

Absolutely best snowballs. Nice people. Fairly priced. I love the Orchard Vanilla Magic.read more

These are the BEST snoballs available in Ascension! They don't rely on fancy toppings or…read moreextravagant arrangements because they don't have to. Their ice is perfect: fluffy, fresh, and not too big! Since it was summer in Louisiana, and we didn't have a big wedding, we even chose THIS for our "wedding cake!" My favorite is the raspberry (not blue, regular) with condensed milk. I think they even do pickle snoballs. Gross to me, but glorious to others!

Snow cones!!! What is not to like!!! Usually I wouldn't make a review for a snow cone joint but…read morethis one deserves the notice! We are on a road trip and decided we needed something cold and delightful. Hubs and I got our usual Tigers Blood while the kids got Strawberry and the other kid got Mango. The owner was working today and she made the best snow cones. The ice was perfectly packed and the syrupy goodness was applied in perfect proportion. She was friendly and talkative as she prepared our snow cones. We would definitely go back. Now, as you are pulling in it looks as though the shop is inside the mall - nope! It is outside, across from Main Event with a convenient extra wide driveway. The shops were not busy, so hubs stayed parked there with the doggo while kids and I ran in. What a perfect location and a perfect experience!

The texture is unmatched too... truly the best soft ice in New Orleans. Located in Mid-City on Carrollton Ave, this spot is a neighborhood favorite. They also serve food and snacks, which makes it even better for a quick stop. Service is good just be ready for long lines. If you haven't tried them yet, it's a MUST. One of the best places to visit in NOLA during sno-ball season!

I stopped by pandora's snowballs on a saturday afternoon and it was pretty busy. Despite the long line, we actually were served pretty quickly. And our snowball was made pretty fast as well. The food was pretty good! It was very sugary, but that's kinda what you come for :) the ice was really good & the cream was also yummy. It was a nice balance. I also thought the flavors of ice were nice and potent. We got a stuffed snowball with vanilla cream & half mango + half strawberry cheesecake. We also got the sour spray on the mango half. I'd recommend getting some more toppings, it would definitely make it more delicious I was a little disappointed that there was no seating or tables to eat at. Had to eat and walk at the same time.. or if there were tables we couldn't find them. But overall a good experience

The ice is pretty thin but the last few times I come they haven't covered the ice with syrup and that, to me, is snowball 101. Cover the ice with the syrup. Anyway they do pile on the condensed milk so it isn't too bad I guess. They have the worst possible parking situation. There are maybe 4 spots. And 2 are for the employees. The employees have talked about putting a sign up that patrons can park behind them but it hasn't happened yet. There really isn't any off street parking either since it's on the corner of busy Cleary and then there is a drain and giant tree roots that prevent easy parking. Overall with all that, they are still top 3.

They also offer other food options such as hot dogs, fries, etc. There was also positive spiritual quotes on the artwork. I definitely felt better when I left. Friendly service and my icee!!
