    Grandson approved flavor!

    If you haven't been to Casey's New Orleans Snowballs, you're missing out on one of the most delicious ways to beat the Texas heat! They serve NOLA-style snowballs with powder soft ice and offer a ton of flavors. Sugar-free? 100% juice? Creamy and decadent? They seem tone something for every palate. My personal favorite is mango syrup with chamoy and tajín . The staff is super friendly and helpful, even when the line gets long (which is often), it moves quickly. Use your time in line to browse the menu and check out what others are ordering, you might get inspired and it helps the line move faster if you know your order when you approach the window. Insider tips:    *   Parking can be tricky, so bring your patience and /or a bike .    *   No seating, but you can enjoy your treat in your car or on the steps. You can enjoy your treat at home if you have the willpower. (I don't )    *   If your server is Deaf or hard of hearing, don't stress, just write your order down and learn the sign for "Thank you" (it's a small act of kindness that makes a difference).    *   Follow them on social media to stay up to date on hours, seasonal changes, and more. Casey's is one of my favorite places for a cold treat in Austin.

    Saw a line outside this shop and decided to visit it after dinner. Parking is a little tight but we managed to find a spot at the back. They closed at 7pm and we were the last minute customers that came at 6:55pm but the staff were amazing! There were so many choices but ended up with classic grape and dole whip. Did not disappoint! It was a nice treat on a warm evening.

    Orchard vanilla with cream, sugar free mango with mango pieces

    Best snow cones in Austin! They have so many flavor options and add ons. My only complaint is that the sugar free flavors are a dollar extra (I don't think there should be an up-charge as some people have to have sugar free for their health), but I highly recommend the vanilla orchard!

    I'm not much of a snow cone person, but this was surprising very delicious and refreshing! The x-small is a good size for a cool snack, and I got the blue coconut, mango, and strawberry flavors. I forgot what my friend got . There so many flavors to choose from, and it tastes really good with the dole pineapple soft serve! Service was quick, and there aren't any outdoor or indoor seating, but you can sit at the steps and enjoy the delicious snack!

    Medium snow cone with pumpkin syrup (seasonal flavor), cheesecake stuffing, and whipped cream ($9.25 for regular or $10.00 for sugar free)

    It's not a summer in Austin without a trip to Casey's! There's nothing better than a delicious snow cone when it's scorching hot outside and Casey's has the best around! They offer great flavors, stuffings, and toppings at a reasonable price with great customer service! FAST FACTS: *Parking - free street parking nearby *Hours - daily from 2:00 pm to 9:00 pm but check their socials for the most up to date information because it could change SERVICE - The workers are always pleasant to interact with at the walk up window! PRICING - The total was $19.25 before tip for two medium snow cones ($7 each) with cheesecake stuffing ($1.50 each) and whipped cream ($0.75 each) with one having a sugar free flavor ($0.75). The snow cones are a large size so the pricing seems reasonable! My go-to is usually dreamsicle stuffed with vanilla soft serve (which is amazing) but this time I tried the seasonable pumpkin flavor with the cheesecake filling and whipped cream since that had been marketed on their social media. It was super tasty and I'd get it again! If you like snow cones, Casey's is your place in Austin! I've yet to have a negative experience in the 3 years I've been going and will always recommend Casey's to others!

    Wow! Great taste and even greater customer service!! The staff were super friendly and helpful. If you have allergies, please let them know, the allergen information from their supplier is very confusing and vague, but the staff are very willing to help. The ice is super fine! You can add soft serve at the bottom, but I honestly don't recommend. Since it is at the bottom of the cup, by the time you get to it, the ice and syrup has already melted so you can't really taste the ice cream. Flavors: a lottt of flavors so ask for samples! They even have special flavors of the month. They're all tasty! Especially their peach (strong and tastes real). The creamy flavors are thicker so the lady told us to let her know if we need more syrup as we eat. Again, very great customer service. No seatings, you walk up to the counter and order. But you can sit on the steps. Chill vibes! The only reason I gave them 4/5 is because of the portion size/price. I got XS for $5.75 ($5 for standard XS, $.75 for creamy flavors), which is considerably pricier than my frequent snowcone place (Snobeach). However, they do have unique flavors and it did remind of the ones I had in New Orleans so try it out y'all

    Best snow cones in Austin! So many different flavors & topping/stuffing options. We got Orchid Cream Vanilla with Marshmallow and sugar free pineapple with mango pieces

    Medium snow cone with blue coconut pina colada and pink lemonade
    Tina D.

    The lines goes quick and ordering is easy! I got the medium size snow cone and you can get up to three flavors. I enjoyed the blue coconut flavor the most but I also tried pink lemonade and pina colada.

    Pineapple soft serve
    Alejandro G.

    Never disappoints! Go get yourself a summer sweet treat! They have many flavors and soft serve as well. Their pineapple Dole whip was super yummy!

    Parking here at times could be a little limited but it's worth waiting for a spot to open up nonetheless. The snowballs here have hit the spot mostly every time as I've been here four times and maybe only once I didn't favor the flavor combo I concocted. I'm also pretty new to the snowcone world so I'm learning what I love and what I don't. The staff here is always a hit as they're all in a great mood, even helped me out once and put my phone on one of their chargers so I could use my GPS to get back home. Overall, I really love this place and seeing everyone leave happily with their snowballs. Can even tell they're pretty big to their neighbors as well considering on my way there I'd see little kids eating them on their bikes and skateboards, haha. Highly recommend!

    A refreshing treat! While the line was long, Casey's was well worth the wait. I chose the peach, strawberry, and clear coconut flavors, which went very well together. Also, I loved how soft the ice was! While I really like sweet desserts, a few of my friends thought that it was too sweet. I would also add that it's a bit pricier than some other snowcones I've had - $5.25 for a small, $6.25 for a medium.

    Sunny P.

    My goodness. This is just what I needed during this 100+ degree streak we're having. The line was backed up into the parking lot, so you know that's a good sign. The wait was pretty quick. I ordered the Boston cream pie snowball and could not believe how similar it tasted to my favorite dessert! I'll definitely be back to stay cool during this summer.

    A snowball is an essential tasty treat for hot summer days. I find snowballs to be more soft and fluffy than a snow cone or shave ice. Casey's fits the spot located near a busy of 51st and airport. You'll normally see a line in front of the stand (it's more like a house with a porch than a stand). There are lots of syrup combinations. I think up to 3. Even sone sugar free and specialty ones throughout the season. The rainbow is very picture friendly. You can even add some soft serve to give it a creamy texture. As for parking there's a gravel lot and street parking. If you are turning left here from 51st it might be a little tricky during rush hour. I suggest trying to end up on the right side or find a back road in - but that's the fun of driving here. Note: they are very generous with the syrup they make sure that it covers all the ice and even poke a hole or two to make sure it coats everything.

    Never thought I would be a fan of Americanized ice cream (always way too sweet), but Lick proved me…read morewrong. Touché. The three of us each grabbed three flavors (F, E, D--haha, funny, right?) and rated each one with sugary zeal. Roasted Beets & Fresh Mint (F, E) - delicious, subtly minty, with a very creamy, mild beet flavor. I never had such a refreshing ice cream that wasn't sorbet. The mint really made a difference. I'm a huge fan of places that curate exotic flavors (a vegetable, really?) into their menu, which only increased my opinion of this place. Hill Country Honey & Vanilla Bean (E) - one of the smoothest vanilla bean ice creams I've had. It reminds me of a traditional ice milk soft serve. It wasn't the most impressive vanilla ice cream I've ever had, but it was still very good in its own right. Dark Chocolate, Olive Oil & Sea Salt (E, D) - such a great balance to the sweetness of the rest of the ice cream options. I always love little chunks of salt in sweets to cut through the sugary intensity, so this one was an instant favorite. GOAT Cheese, Thyme, and Honey (E, D) - a complete 100% hit. Probably my top, alongside the beets. My BFF said it tasted too much like a meal rather than a dessert and couldn't give it a high rating, but as a charcuterie fan, I know there are plenty of "dessert" cheeses. I mean... cream cheese, for example? But is that really a cheese...? Uhhh. Very Strawberry (F) - a clean strawberry flavor. A bit artificial, but still so great. It far outweighed the Sweet Cream w. Strawberry flavor we tasted later. Cookies & Cream (F) - I never liked cookies & cream before, but this changed my mind. It hits so hard when you get a full spoonful. Probably the only cookies & cream I would eat. My BFF's #1. Chocolate Chocolate (F) - love chocolate? Get this. That's all you need to know. Coffee & Cream (D) - oooh, reminds me of the keto coffee ice cream I had once. Would get again. Coffee notes are always great in ice cream. Was this a STRONG standout? No. But did it do its job? Yes. Sweet Cream w. Strawberry (D) - too creamy for me, not enough strawberry. My top flavors by far are: 1) Roasted Beets & Fresh Mint, 2) GOAT Cheese, Thyme, and Honey, and 3) Dark Chocolate, Olive Oil & Sea Salt. All three were unique flavors that I would absolutely get again. We sat on the little barstools watching the line get progressively longer as the night went on. It was really interesting to see how many people came in for a sweet treat at 11 PM. The atmosphere was pleasant, parking was pretty easy, and while it never got too crowded, the place was surprisingly popular.

Quite busy at 8:15PM on a Sunday! About ten people ahead of us and only two people working so it took about 10-15mins with people asking for samples and such. While we were there, it was always a packed line so it definitely gets really busy from 8-9PM! We got three larges for a total of twelve flavors, a little bit of overlap: Mine: Dark Chocolate Olive Oil and Sea Salt - Really liked this, the bitter saltiness offset the creaminess really well. Coffee with Cream - A very light but roasty coffee, like a light coffee. I liked this!; Goat Cheese, Thyme and Honey - The herbal flavor is more subtle than I expected! Not too sweet, liked this one Sweet Cream & Strawberry - this one didn't stand out much to me Others: Roasted Beets and Fresh Mint - I really liked this one! The beets and mint hit on the back of your tongue, yum Chocolate Chocolate - Very intense chocolate, not too crazy about it though Cookies & Cream - Surprisingly good! I liked this one Very Strawberry - way more strawberry than the sweet cream. I'd recommend this over the sweet cream and strawberry Hill Country Honey & Vanilla Bean - Pretty light, a classic. Thought it was okay. If I had a tier list it would be: 1) Coffee with Cream 2) Goat Cheese 3) Dark Chocolate Olive Oil 4) Roasted Beets and Mint 5) Cookies & Cream 6) Very Strawberry 7) Vanilla Bean 8) Chocolate Chocolate 9) Sweet Cream & Strawberry Overall, a few hits, a few misses, but it was a fun tasting experience. We paid via inKind with no issues, which made it a pretty solid value.

Located on 6th Street, Jim Jim's is surprisingly accessible with parking spots available out front and just around the corner. It's not a sitdown place so keep that in mind for your stop, but the line does move fast and they are very efficient. There's a good variety of flavors and things they serve from italian ice to ice cream and shakes. We opted for a strawberry italian ice with condensed milk on top. From the first bite we were in heaven. The flavor is very thorough which is not always the case for Italian ices where it can sometimes be a bit muted. Every single bite of this was packed with flavor. They also carve out a bit of the middle to put the condensed milk which makes every bite much more equal than if it was just placed at the top. This was by far one of, if not the best, Italian ices we've ever had. We would very much recommend it to anyone in the Downtown area looking to cool off.
