This is a small snow cone shop on busy Jefferson Ave. It's just a window front currently due to Covid, but it works. I ordered a clear cherry mixed with lemon lime. Flavor was okay, and it was a cool relief to the heat. They do have ice cream and creamsicle-style flavors for those wanting a bit more richness. The owner was really nice and I'll be back again to check out more flavors! read more

We discovered this gem about two years ago, and I am so glad we did! Our first time visiting, I was pregnant and found out about NOLA Snoballs due to a pregnancy craving. Lol! I ordered a blue coconut/rootbeer combo, and my husband ordered cherry and green apple. Both of them were nice, juicy, and flavorful. The ice is also very soft too (as it should be! Lol!) I've also tried the cream as well and it's perfect for those with a sweet tooth. The employees are also always very kind and sweet too. If you're ever in the area, or down for the drive you should definitely check them out. read more

These puppies are delicious on a hot day. I paid the extra 50 cents for the Dreamsicle, and my babe had one of her two sugar-free choices: pina colada. We both loved the texture of the ice more than a regular sno-cone, and we loved our flavors. So refreshing! You can park for free in the lot BEHIND Jefferson Tower. Don't even bother with the metered parking on Jefferson Street right now because construction is ongoing. read more

Cliff Dwellers! Hear Ye! Hear Ye! We've been blessed with NOLA Snowballs on Jefferson. I had a hankerin for a snow cone on the hot July afternoon and decided to check them out. We couldn't have been happier! Make sure you add the sweetened condensed milk (a NOLA tradition) to whichever selection you make. It elevates the standard snow cone into a league of its own. We both (the spouse and I) had the tigers blood w/ the sweetened condensed milk. Next time it will be the blue coconut. Go give them a try. Open Tues - Sunday 2-9 PM. read more

Such a great place for kiddos especially! Kiddie eye level glass cases on both sides of the small shop full of a huge aprieta of PEZ dispensers! This is a special visual way to entertain those of us waiting our turn for the hand made to order snoball. No way to mention names of flavors because there are so many. Kids chose combos of flavors, hubby chose to have a root ear instead of a snoball, and I picked a "natural" flavored raspberry snoball - still has sugar but just the right amount for me. It was sour/sweet/tangy/snowy/cool you down deliciousness on the hot summer Saturday of 100+ temps (now why do we live here again?). Anyway, a fun treat on Jefferson Blvd. in Oak Cliff.

Unusual flavors like "Silver fox" are so enticing but if trying new things is not your game, many of the oldies but goodies are available as well. I like ice-cream at the bottom of my snoball, called a "knockout", yum. She always puts just the right amount of syrup, not too much but just enough. Fun place.

Specialties

New Orleans inspired snoballs with finely shaved ice, cream flavors (including chocolate) and toppings! Oh, and these are made by a true New Orleanian who grew up eating snoballs. And if you are looking for a healthy dessert, have no fear! We have natural and sugar free flavors to choose from! We also have Aunt Sally's pralines and Blue Bell Ice Cream cups. We use only environmentally friendly paper cups and paper straws by request. Our Pez Dispensers just arrived, come by and check them out!

History

Established in 2016.

We started as a pop-up at the Texas Discovery Gardens during the State Fair of Texas. Several pop-ups later we found our current space at 345 West Jefferson in Oak Cliff.

Meet the Business Owner: Maureen E.

Maureen grew up in New Orleans eating snoballs on a regular basis. Being one of 4 children, a trip to the snoball stand was an affordable treat and a fun family adventure. She has lived in Dallas for 25 years now and has always wanted to own a snoball stand so Dallas families could also enjoy affordable family adventures. The store on Jefferson is home to a part of Maureen's large pez dispenser collection.

You can order toppings, or have your frozen treat plain - they'll serve it for you. Every visit, the staff here have been unfailingly kind.

Staff are probably family members or high school students - super friendly. Vibes are what you expect from an ice cream shop in Bishop arts - brick, small, super homey.

We were able to taste before committing and it helped with commitment issues. My husband and I enjoyed our visit and will be back. We ended up with Peach Cobbler cheesecake, though I liked Salt Lick more (lol). I don't eat as much as my husband so his vote won. The vibe was right inside with the crowd

He has gummy worms to top it off and the special salt to sprinkle on top. Very friendly service and he cranks out the cups very fast. Usually you get an extra scoop. It's right across the street from the park and now that it's getting hotter outside perfect way to enjoy the sun and park.

There are some really interesting novelty cereals, such as one that was in the actual Pulp Fiction movie. The ambiance in general feels a bit like a night club but with games instead of dancing.

Their homemade desserts and ice cream look delish but I haven't been able to try them yet.

Snow cones were great and service was excellent. Only issue…read moreis the snow cones come in plastic cups which makes them melt too fast. Foam cups hold the ice much longer and make for a more pleasant experience

Offering limes would have been a nice touch. The Mangonada had the perfect combination of sour, sweet, and spicy. So many Paletas to choose from but I went with Coconut and it was velvety, decadent, and contained coconut flakes just the way I like it. The snow cone was heavily packed with ice so it was more filling. He sells Mexican Coke and it's so much better than regular Coca Cola as it's not as sweet due to the corn syrup. The menu is expansive so you will be able to find something you like. The problem is settling on what to get. I guess you can always come back another time.

I got a…read morewarm chocolate chip cookie along with a peanut butter cup bluebell ice cream flavor (cannot remember exact name). With this combo, you can add two toppings but I opted out of that. The cookie was fantastic and I appreciated that they used blue bell ice cream. The combination reminded me very much of the nostalgic pizookie from BJs. I plan on returning to enjoy this combo again.

You cannot beat Pokey-Os for the prices. I will admit that the quality of the ice cream is a bit…read morelower than some other places, but the prices are nearly half and portions are great, so I would still rather go here. There has only ever been one employee when I've gone, but he's been great even when the store has been busy. My only complaint is that I wish they were open later so I could go more frequently! Small seating area, but usually not too busy.
