My family and I discovered Mama Rosa Ice last year during the heat wave and it was a Godsend!…read more Affordable snow cones that can be served with up to 3 flavors. I usually get the passion fruit and mango but this time I got blue raspberry and orange. $6 dollars per cup and a $1 added to each topping desired. The service is always friendly and efficient. Wish they had Venmo though as sometimes I don't have cash on me.

This place is unreal, now I finally understand the line and the word of mouth praise!…read more I'm glad I read the reviews while in line and before I got up to the window. CASH ONLY! Fortunately, there is a Wells Fargo two minutes down the road so I didn't have to give up on my dreams of a cold fresh snow cone. Seems like they are back for their spring season!!! I can't wait to go back and I will bring the family :) Very affordable $4 a snow cone with up to 3 flavors to mix. I opted for the coconut, tamarindo, and pineapple. I also got the condensed milk on top (which I heard was a MUST and it absolutely was worth every drop) and I also added the sour tamarindo jalea on top. I wouldn't recommend them both together but separately they are both scrumptious. The tamarindo is sour! So be prepared if you like tart or sour this is for you!! My boyfriend opted for the strawberry, coconut, and passion fruit. It's true that they make their own flavors I witnessed it! There are pieces of legit fruit in them!! So delicious and unlike a classic snow cone. Each is prepared diligently with a tried and true process to get the right shape and packing of the snow particles properly. Service was very friendly and helpful and Quick! One size only and it was gone pretty quick so delicious!!! Worth it and allll the hype. We will return this weekend :)

I heard good stuff about this place from friends and social media, so I wanted to give it a try. I…read morelove the retro local theme of the ice cream shop, where everyone hangs out. The workers also seemed friendly and happy to help. I feel like this place was overrated on social media because I've had better local ice cream closer to my house. I appreciated one of the workers that recommended me cookies and cream milkshake, instead of the cookie monster because it would be creamier. He didn't have to tell me that, but I like the honesty and recommendations. The milkshake was decent, but it tasted like there was either too much milk, or the ice cream was on the blander side. I don't believe this tasted like a grade A ice cream, but I am not an expert. The soft serve did not have as much vanilla flavor as I would have liked either.

I've been going here for minutas since 2015, they used to be around 3 dollars and after the…read morepandemic they raised their prices to 5 dollars. Which was fine, but now as of the most recent time me and my family has gone they've raised their prices again to 6 dollars, one of the minutas is even 7 dollars, quality has stayed the same so I don't really see a reason for this other than greed. I will not be going back in the foreseeable future and will take my business somewhere else because stuff like this is ridiculous.

DEFINITELY TRY OUT THIS LOCAL HIDDEN GEM!…read more Solid sno ball place, I've been wanting to try one of these for a long time. After trying it, I prefer these flavors over traditional American ones. I would definitely recommend this place if you haven't tried a Louisiana Sno Ball or if you just want a good sweet treat during the summer! Tips: -They may close early.. no website so it's a hidden gem (Come before 7 PM) -Try unique flavors like Wedding Cake, it's a Louisiana classic! -There's always a flavor combo everyday!

This is the second time that New Orleans Style Snow Balls have come to our building. They were…read morehere a couple of years ago. At the time, they brought a truck and would give out cups with ice, and you got to add the syrup you wanted. There was a dispenser on the outside of the truck that made it easier to choose what you wanted and how much. This time, they sent a small van, and the "snow balls" were put in the kind of takeout containers that restaurants use to pack rice. In other words, they were small. The young woman serving the "snow balls" was very friendly. She was also the one who applied the syrup to the ice. We both got cherry-flavored syrup. These snow balls are very refreshing, especially in the summer. While we would have preferred a larger cup, we couldn't complain, as this was a freebie for residents (well, these things are built into one's monthly rent).

Keep your eyes peeled for the cute colorful stand! There are a variety of flavors, such as strawberry, banana, lime, margarita, peach, pina colada, blue raspberry, pink lemonade, etc., as well as toppings (such as cream, Ghirardelli chocolate, marshallows, etc.), specialty flavors, and signature items. Iceys come in 3 sizes -Kiddie, Regular, and Jumbo! I had The Buzz (that had cherry, grape, and blue raspberry) and the Weekend at the Beach (with green apple, red raspberry, and peach) - OMG - the shaved ice was smooth and wonderful in texture. The flavors were distinct, and compared to other iceys that are out there, this was not at all watered down and full of the punch! I loved that both a spoon and a straw were provided, and that the portions are oh-so-generous! The owners are so friendly and so welcoming - there's also a tent set up outside so that you can enjoy your treat with a nice breeze. Definitely check this small family-owned gem out - you won't be disappointed! I'm planning on checking this place out most of the weekends! What a perfect treat for hot summery days! +delicious iceys! +friendly staff! +keep up with the updates on their social media!
