It's hot outside, your are in the right place to get your snowballs in. The place is very clean, organized and pleasant to hang out to get refreshed and chilled especially during the summer. The ladies serving are friendly and it's just a wonderful place after walking outside with 98 degrees Fahrenheit beaming on you. Highly recommend people. read more

I love 'snoballs'! We had a full day on the beach and were sunburnt and SO hot! We have never been to pelicans as there isn't one close to home. They had a ton of flavors which is like as sometimes I try new things LOL but I stuck with my bubble gum and my husband got shark attack. Ours were both really good. You can't beat the price either!! Highly recommend pelicans to keeps you hydrated and cool after a beach day at beautiful TS beach! read more

Our family stopped in last night/Monday evening around 6:30 and had a terrible experience. An employee with short blonde hair was laughing at our family while we tried to order. It was completely unprofessional. Our order was also all ice and hardly any flavor! For that service and price we will not be back. read more

There was no line when I walked in. The staff did not greet and just said what would you want? Ordering two regular tigers bloods flavors the staff asked what other flavor. I repeated that it was just regular size both tiger bloods. The staff are carrying on conversation between the two and when given the snowballs. While checking out the staff did not say thank you or have a great day. The regular Tigers Blood however, was delicious and a good size. read more

Best snowballs on the island: by far they beat competitors! Fluffiest and most flavorful. But darn they are slow. It's like waiting for ice to freeze :) read more

One of our musts when we come to Topsail. Love love blue bubble gum sno cone with ice cream!!!!!

My kids loved this, and for good reason. My husband and I were like, a whole store just for snow cones?! But yes, they've somehow found a way to make them unique and just the right amount of extra. Just try not to think about how you're paying $5 for a cup of ice. read more

Awesome place and the cutest pup cups for your doggy friend. We loved it and the person working was so friendly and helpful as the kids chose their treats read more

SO GOOD. This place has tons of flavors and none of them taste of the overly sugary syrup messes. With 100 flavors, such as lime, guava, watermelon, cherry, tutti frutti etc, you really cant go wrong. It's two flavors per snocone, but every extra flavor is 50cents. You can add tons of toppings from sour sprays, cream, gummy sharks and butterflies, all of the delicious things! Highly recommend going for a treat! read more

The ice is shaved perfectly and there is plenty of flavor on the snow cone. Much better than your average snow cone and they give you plenty to eat! read more

This is DEFINITELY a place to AVOID! Please save your money and go some where else! My daughter and I waited in line for over twenty minutes, behind other customers, and then very RUDELY told by the owner they were closed. There is no sign posted that says their hours. Also, I am a small business owner in the area and you NEVER turn business away. We will never be back and I can honestly say I hope this place goes out of business!! This place is not customer friendly and they treat their employees terribly as well- I have experienced this first hand. read more

Honestly amazing in so many different ways! The location, the flavours, and the people! The ordering system was a bit strange, and the windows were very low (and I'm 5'2). The employees were friendly and helpful! read more

Oh. My. Goodness. They advertise over 100 flavors, although a person could argue that many more than that are available depending on combining flavors. We were there at least three times during our week's vacation and it still wasn't enough. The ice texture is dreamy and there is just the right amount of flavor syrup. Try Dreamsicle or banana with cream. Yum! read more

I overheard the owners talking rudely about me after taking "too long" to order and then degrading their employees in front of me. After the horrible treatment of their employees and the lack of respect for customers I would not recommend this establishment to ANYONE. It ruined my whole afternoon. read more

I have never in my life been so disrespected at an establishment by an employee. The girl working the window was the sweetest thing. On The other hand Carol was a rude disrespectful and completely out of place the way she spoke to my family. My son who has SPD was so excited to get some snowballs he ran a bit away from us and went up the exit, there were two boys standing there, which I assumed they were waiting on there snowballs by the way they were talking. The sweet cashier opened up the window and proceeded to take my sons order who is just excitingly ordering two unicorn snowballs for him and his sister. This is where Carol comes from the side of the building out of the side door and raises her voice telling us the line would move faster if we went to the back of the line. I had zero clue we cut anyone, and for her to come out and yell at me and my children was humiliating. Why couldn't she just come to the window instead of yelling??? So my son with SPD got scared and covered his ears, we moved to the back of the line. She cant possibly ever make mistakes herself, I'm 1000% sure of it by the way she acted. read more

I cannot believe how rude the owners are to their employees at this location in Surf City. They have a good product, but after what I witnessed, I will never go back. read more

Love it! I think flavored snowballs are in and ice creams are out! So many flavors to choose from! And love the location it's in!

Just found out about the snow balls very refreshing they have tons of flavors to pick from and add on options. Went twice today and will be a must stop for future visits! read more

I never had a sno-ball but I've had Hawaiian ice which I don't like because most of the flavor is on top. 100 flavors to choose from so I picked cheesecake with marshmallow topping. My son picked rainbow from kids options. I loved cheesecake flavor with topping from beginning to end - flavor was consistent throughout - not too sweet but definitely not bland. It was a hot day and barely any breeze by ordering window so prepare to sweat a little before enjoying a treat. My son is a picky eater so he was done eating the minute colors of rainbow blended into one so I finished his and it was delicious. He dropped gummy turtle topping at the end of steps so his experience was "ruined" (eye roll). Just keep in mind if your kids like mine then they should eat that gummy before going down steps. We definitely are going to be back - son-ball was a lot more refreshing than any ice cream including soft. read more

This store is new to the island but not to us! We were thrilled when they opened their location at Surf City! Yummy shaved Ice!! A great treat on a hot day. read more
