Snowballs are tasty and ice is smooth but they're a litttttttle too expensive. For a small snowball $3.50 and condensed milk is $1.25 and they barely put any on. They have a good seating area which most places don't so I like that. This would be a snowball Place to go if it's your only option. read more

One of my favorite snowball stands in the city! Ike's has soft ice, a shaded patio, and dog-friendly flavor options. They pour light on the syrup which I like because it's not too sweet, but the sign shows they'll pour more on request at no charge. Service was iffy, but eventually got acknowledged and got my order without much wait on the whole. read more

Taking the street car to near the cemeteries and walking to City Park, we stopped at Ike's Snowballs, a small stand with a large outdoor patio. For just a few dollars, they sell snowballs (snow cones) in dozens of flavors from cream-based to other flavors like cherry and peach. My seven-year-old daughter loved the strawberry. I found the margarita one refreshing. The flavors are strong and sweet so a small is more than enough. Note: There aren't any public restrooms. read more

We came here for some snowballs. We went to another place down the street was all the doors were closed. Lucky for us Ike's was open. The customer service was great here. They were friendly and didn't take long to get our snowballs. I ordered their King Cake with condensed milk, my son ordered their Hurricane and my wife ordered their pina colada with condensed milk. They were all really delicious and can definitely see myself returning if I'm close by. read more

The snow balls are okay. I usually have to ask for more syrup because some of the ice is still not covered. the customer service is probably the worse. You're never greeted when you walk up to order. She just stares at you waiting for you to order. They also never give you any napkins even if there's syrup pouring down the sides of the cup, and when I'm asking for some it's as if it's a burden. Maybe because it's mostly kids working. I like coming here because it near me and I come very often but this needs to be addressed. read more

I wish I could give this place ZERO stars. I'm a born and raised New Orleanian and let me just say this these people are selling gentrified snowballs. Now let me get into the service, flat out horrible. The workers all have sh*tty attitudes. I asked for sour spray on my snowball & I had to repeat myself twice bc she didn't know the menu. The cashier caught an attitude w me after I explained that there was sour spray right there on the menu. She told me "she just started working there". So another worker walks over to help her put the topping on the bill and tells her just charge them 75¢. So I asked them why was it 75¢ instead of 25¢ like on the menu and I pointed at it. A different lady annoyingly said to just take it off the bill. I don't understand what all the hostility was but all I wanted was a decent snowball w condensed milk & one w sour spray for the correct price ofc. The pricing was okay considering the prices of snowballs have been going up in the city and the snowballs were almost great but this experience was by far the worst. Also this is the smallest large cup I've ever had. read more

Pork boudin is 10/10 amazing and the whole block smells good cause of it . More letters to meet character min

Snowballs were decent. Not the best nor the worst in NOLA. The ice was soft and the condensed milk added the perfect amount of sweetness. The employees were quick making our snowballs, and upon asking for my syrup, they immediately apologized and added more. Overall, Ike's is a solid snowball stand. Although I would not make an effort to go, if in the area and craving a snowball, I would definetly stop by. read more

Ike's Snowballs - a hand holding a cup of ice cream - Desserts Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

A friend of mine convinced me to come for dessert. I have driven by many times, just had not been in before. You go up to the window, order and pay. They will call out your name when your order is ready. You sit out at the picnic tables or take it to go. We both got the butterscotch sundae, and oh my goodness it was wonderful! The employee working was friendly. I look forward to coming back. read more

Be prepared to wait, wait, and wait. This little snowball stand offers treats and snacks, however the operations make it good and not great. I imagine they could rake in tons more revenue if they where logistically sound. So be prepared to wait, wait, and wait. Another thing that boggles me is how clumsy the logistics are they have two windows but only use one for service, they could take orders from one and serve from another, this could possibly cut down on ticket times. read more

Great down home snowball stand in the heart of Nola. Great food. Great customer service. Great prices

This place was a blessing in disguise! I was having an outside meal and being almost 7 months pregnant the heat was starting to get to me. I asked my husband if he thought there'd be a snowball stand open even thought it was 4th of July. He got on Yelp and quickly found Ike's. We decided to drive by since it was so close to where we were. They were open!! The line was a bit long but it didn't take them long to get it cleared out. They had some great flavor choices. I was delighted to see they had snowballs for dogs and I happened to have my dog. I got king cake and condensed milk. It was delicious. The milk wasn't overly thick either. There was plenty juice. The ice was perfectly soft. The prices were pretty normal compared to other places. It was the perfect way for us to all cool down! read more

This has been my 3rd time here and the first time the snowballs were truly amazing however these last two times have been awful. There's no way their snowballs should cost that much but poor in quality the ice was horrible so hard and clumpy and their juices are terrible you can't taste the flavor they must cut them with water they're so watery you'll order one flavor and it doesn't even taste like the flavor you ordered but not just that the service is horrible especially when the adults are there. The kids are better servers. Any who this was my last and final straw. If their prices increased so should their quality. We still ate a little of the snowballs because we spent $6 on two and we didn't have tops as well (per our request) read more

I like Ike's! David and I are trying different snowball stands around town and he suggested this one that I had never heard of. Ike's is right by the Burger King/MoPho strip mall by City Park and there was no crowd when we were here early on a Friday evening. There's a lot of seating area with tables and they have a nice selection of different snowball flavors and ice cream and also offer boudin, for some reason. I got a wedding cake snowball and David got pralines and cream. I have to say, I really liked the fact that they flood the ice with syrup. It was practically spilling out of the cup, and when it comes to syrup, you can't over do it. The ice was nice and fine and the flavor was great. The stand is right by a bus stop and a nice "New Orleans' highlight was when a bus driver parked the bus at the stop, hopped out and treated herself to some much earned ice cream. This stand wouldn't be my first pick for a snowball, but I wouldn't skip it if I was in the area when a craving hit. read more

If there's one thing you can never have too many of, it's snowball stands in New Orleans. Upon the urging of my wife, who is a self proclaimed snowball connisseur, I stopped at Ike's Snowballs this afternoon to kill her craving. Located at 520 City Park Avenue, this newly constructed business resides next to the strip mall that houses Burger King and Subway. Being on the extreme Northern Border of Mid City, this location will prove perfect for people residing in Lakeview (South), the Bayou Saint John area and for Delgado students. The facilities are spotless inside and there is plently of availble tables outside to sit down and enjoy your snowball. This will prove especially helpful if you have kids who are prone to spilling things in the car. My wife had a combo flavor (chocolate & coconut), which almost tasted like a frozen "Alomond Joy". The chocolate was creamy, but not too strong as to be overpowering. The coconut was also good without being overly sweet. The real treat was the consistency of the ice. Although I could not see if their ice machine was a "Snow Wizard", I'd bet that it is. It was almost velvety smooth and had no lumps at all, even when she got to the very bottom of the cup. I'm giving this place 4 stars for now, as it is a little too new to give a perfect rating. If you're in the Mid-City or Lakeview area and are looking for a new taste, give 'em a try. read more

I really love this snowball stand! The prices are so cheap and they have a nice area for sitting to enjoy your cool treat! Also have doggie snowballs if you like bringing your fur baby out as well. Located so close to City Park that you can just walk on over. They have a huge selection of flavors, including color free and sugar free. If you need snacks, they also have some light bites like nachos, hot dogs and pickles for purchase as well. Cash only...be sure to have some cash because they do not accept cards. read more

Ike's Snowballs - Medium cotton candy snowball! Yum! - Desserts Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

WINNING!!!!!! The is going to be my "go to" snoball stand when I'm in this area. Juicy snoballs. Convenient location. Friendly servers. Open YEAR ROUND. LA-like outdoor seating. Average price points. Other food items. Random meeting place & then we happened upon this little delight. I got a stuffed (ice cream) pineapple snowball & I feasted off this JUICY little treat well into the evening hours. This is a sweet little spot/location, right across from Delgado CC & down from City Park... soooo yeah, I'm loving it. read more

I was having lunch next door at MoPho and my out of town dining companions asked about Ike's. I explained the VAST superiority of a New Orleans snoball to the mundane widely available snocone. And of course, then I had to have one. I was super excited to see cucumber lime as a flavor so that's what I got, after I was allowed a small sample to check it out. It was just tart enough and with a nice subtle cucumber flavor. Speedy service, good-soft ice, and it hit the spot. Now I need another snoball. read more

Cute little snowball shop across from Delgado. Lots of tables spaced far apart to sit outside and enjoy your snowball. They have soft fluff ice and lots of flavors. Their sugar free flavors are good, no nasty after taste. They also sell some food items and even have two snowball flavors for your pups! We were surprised to learn they stayed open until 8:30pm... maybe summer hours? We definitely be back to try more stuff. ESP the boudin! They have shrimp, crawfish chicken and beef. read more

It's nice to know I have the option of getting a decent sno ball right in my backyard and don't have to make that long trek to Hansen's. I hesitantly decided to try this place out and am very glad that I did. Although it wouldn't be my first option, I would gladly go back. Soft ice, sweet succulent flavors and reasonable prices. My only complaint is that their not the speediest nor they do care about presentation. My cousin and I were the only ones in line and took almost ten minutes. Also my cup was overflowing with juice which turned into a sticky hot mess. Overall, try this place if your in the area. I'd come here over Pandora any day. read more

Ike's Snowballs - Half wedding cake, half ice cream. - Desserts Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

VERY HORRIBLE SERVICE. Would not recommend. Stood in the line for 30 minutes for them to say they're not taking any orders after 6. I do understand that their closing time was six, but good customer service would allow for the line to finish ordering and make sure no one else gets in the line. At 5:59 a very rude African American lady said "we're not taking anymore orders" very loud, rude, and obnoxious. When I asked if they had business cards she said "we're closed, goodbye" afterwards I preceded to say that her service was very poor and she should fix that then she said "what's up bitch I get off at 6" how awful of a thing to say to your customers. Very disappointed read more

Delicious SnoBalls with lots of flavor choices. They don't charge for extra syrup. The person working the snoball stand wore her mask the entire time, even when she wasn't making SnoBalls. She was closing up and cleaning surfaces and never took her mask off at any point. Totally the safest place to be! Thanks for keeping everyone safe. read more

First off do not park in the parking lot next to this place. They do not have rights to the lot and Burger King had a man come boot everyone. There is nothing to warn patrons and the obnoxious young man working there refused to ask his manager if they had access when customers were trying to fight these predatory boots. Will never be back. They clearly know that customers cannot park there but do nothing to protect their patrons. All they need is a sign warning customers. Terrible customer service and rude workers. There are way better places! read more

This place has some pretty good snowballs. It isn't my favorite in town, but for its spot and convenience it's great. After basically any activity in City Park we stop here after for a refreshing snowball. We always get smalls because the serving is generous and we can never even finish it all. They have a lot of flavors, friendly staff, and they don't skimp on the syrup. In fact they'll give you more syrup free of charge. Next time you're at city park, stop here after. Open year round, cash only. read more

Excellent snowballs! The ice is like velvet and has no lumps at all. Also, they are quite generous with the syrup, so these are very juicy snowballs. I've had the strawberry and the watermelon, both quite good. The place is spotless, there is plenty of seating, and the employees are very nice. They also do things like hot dogs but I have not tried those. Oh, for dog-owners: they do "doggie snowballs." They come in two flavors, one of which is chicken. read more

This place is slow and not worth the wait. Over 20 min, the line did not move and myself and at least 5 other people in line all walked away. I went to sno-la, literally across town. I waited the less time with a line out the door and down the street for a far superior snowball. read more

My first snoball! So good. I never thought that ice and ice cream would be delicious. Cheap, delicious, and refreshing snack.

NEVER AGAIN. The ice was hard. The flavors were watery. They are also priced higher than other stands with much better product. It wasn't good at all; this wasn't my first poor experience. read more

Pretty good snowballs. Not the awesomest snowballs ever but pretty good. The ice could be smoother/finer. They're right across from delgado and during class time they tend to be busy. Staff is nice. They'll warn you not to park in burger kings parking lot which seriously DO NOT park there! The towing company watches the lot and is located right around the corner. I find their menu lacking. They have 8 cream flavors and 4 sugar free. They do "doggie snowballs" which I like to call "kitty snowballs". The clone cats like the chicken flavor but were not fans of the roast beef. The outdoor seating is nice and some of it is under the shade of a tree. City park is within walking distance (2 blocks maybe?) so you can grab your 'balls and hang out in the shade of the oaks. Mommy notes: Have to ask for extra napkins. Only 4 clear flavors. Will put snowballs into larger cups. No kidde size ( extra small). Open year round. read more

They have so many flavors to pick from the ruby pomegranate was really refreshing. I ordered a medium, the portion was really generous. Definitely a nice treat after going to City Park! :) read more
