    Strawberry dream with condensed milk.
    Kristen R.

    Very soft ice. The people are always nice and have great manners. Food is always hot & made to order. Laid back vibe. Great to bring the family.

    Cute little shop and the staff is always nice. Good selection of food and flavors! I love the decor inside and out its really an adorable shop very colorful on the inside, lots of artistic things on the interior. Definitely worth the visit!

    I'm in love. -Christian based business -Near my home -Friendly staff -Late hours -Great pricing -Aiding the community -Snoballs & things. What else is there? I've passed here several times, only to be spiritually led here on last night Friday Feb 26; seems like Friday the 13th I tell you. But anyway, I came here after my regular stop was closed... Hello, they stated they were open until 7p, but on today this was not the case. ANYWAY, what a pleasant surprise when I saw Pontilly's open & ready to make my Snoball concoction. Yessssssss stuffed pineapple was my pleasure & a pleasure it was indeed. I loved the Christian based decor; overhead Christian music can be heard piping thru the speakers & you're surrounded around positive vibes & affirmations. Happy Happy Joy Joy. In affiliation with the "God is good all the time car wash" (or at least I think hat's the name) & the Baptist Seminary just across the street, this place is going to be my Go-To for snoballs & all things summertime. WoooooHoooo!!!!

    This is a small watermelon. This is how much I consumed of it before I disposed of it.

    Nice people. Cute place. But the flavors werent there. It was just like corn syrup. Sweet ice. Thats it. We ordered 5 assorted a owballs and they all tasted exactly the same but different colors. Very disappointing. We didnt even want to finish them. I hope they get better with it bc they are very nice people.

    I like to support places that help others. And as a bonus, they have pretty good snowballs at reasonable prices. If you in the area, stop by and give them a try. You'll be supporting a great cause too!

    The best Snowballs in the 7th.

    GREAT place to get Snowballs. Great Snowballs, great prices, always clean, and you can even get other snack foods there. I would recommend anyone needing a Snowball, to go to Pontilly Sno.

    Got the pandan and Thai iced tea flavors with condensed milk - soooo good. It tasted just like the…read morereal thing (ok maybe the pandan flavor was a little muted). 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.

    If I were rating atmosphere alone- 3 stars would be generous…read more I am rating product and service because adding "ambiance", would do those who work here and their product a disservice. It takes a while to get your order because of low staffing. That said, when you get it of course it's beautiful and tastes great. Sitting just around the corner from Bourbon St. and the hustle and bustle energy that you walk thorough to get here- walking in was disappointing. It's a large open space with seating- and it's QUIET. No background music. It gives late night diner vibes and honestly, that's too bad. Adding music, upbeat- doesn't have to sound like a club but music and having more energy between staff and customers would greatly improve the experience and I believe, increase business. If there were some Fats Domino or 90s R&B flowing out of speakers and staff were smiling, upbeat, dancing etc. it would give more "legendary" experience verses midnight diner vibe. That alone made me not want to come back. Not everyone wants to drink alcohol so stopping to sit for a well made artistic milkshake is a great option. The energy brings down the vibe and experience. Match the ambiance, service and vibe to your menu and 5 stars all day.

    This is a cute little place in the French Quarter that I feel is typically woefully understaffed…read morefor what they provide. The staff is always nice, but I feel that they are always so stressed to get the product out. The shakes are so overpriced. The small size is $1 less than twice the size. Now, you can share these delicious shakes with a friend or loved one (either size) but with tip, you're still spending $20 on one shake. Because the shakes are so elaborate and intricate, you're going to wait about 15-20 minutes per shake, even if you're the only ones there. I would love to give them more stars because it is such a delicious experience, but only have one to two people working is a very hard line to draw if you want customers to be patient/happy.
