“I will admit I slept on this place. I passed by for years and ignored it. Saw the lines but kept passing it by. Stopped one Saturday and got a Strawberry Daiquiri and Wine Cooler snowball. I was hooked. The other snoball place I went to on the Westbank didnt have as soft a texture of ice as Snow World. The flavors at one place can be found at most other places BUT the texture of the ice isn't universal. I would definitely pass by again.....well.....I did last Saturday. Definitely have me as a customer when on the Westbank.“
“My go to snowball place because it's so close to my house. The snowballs are decent, and ice is not hard. You will get an occasional water added to your flavor that I don't like. Nachos were ok. The cheese tasted funny the one time I did get them. They have a drive-thru line or walk-up. Parking is limited, but I just park at the other businesses if I walk up. Also, sometimes the kids that work there counts are a little off when giving you your total(I don't think that's done intentionally). I would still recommend getting you a snowball here.“
“Still one of my favorites! Just stopped by and picked up one of the delicious cakes and had one of the best experiences on a busy Thanksgiving eve! Julia and Madelyn were soo sweet and helpful! The best! Go here for yummy icecream and sweets galore.. not to mention the bestest service! Won't regret it!“
“The food was Sonic, i would say it was actually a little above Sonic average but the only reason I'm commenting is because damn my car hop was hot! I don't want to be disrespectful but my goodness... sometimes you just have to call it like you see it and trust me, you can't miss it! Lolol. It was all around for experience. Even without the gorgeous young lady who Im assuming is in her early 20s.... it was still an above average Sonic experience!“
“When you're in New Orleans, be sure to hit up the person behind the front desk at your hotel at least once after check-in and before check-out to ask what the best place to grab a snowball (Sno-ball? Up in the air...) is. And if you're lucky, there will be two people behind the front desk, so they can have a fierce debate about it. My decision was made after hearing that Hansen's gave you a souvenir cup with your sno-ball. It was 90+ degrees the entire time we were in NOLA. Without taking the humidity into consideration. So it came as no surprise that the first thing our Uber driver said to us was "Hansen's? I could really use a sno-ball today too!" (We invited her to join us but she declined because of the sugar content. Which... fair.) Plan and time your visit well. Hansen's is a little out of the way and is guaranteed to have a line. I found myself awkwardly craning my neck at times to catch the shade. It's a tiny mom-and-pop place (it's been in the Hansen family for three generations) and the fans inside won't do much to cool you down until you take your first bite of a sno-ball. It tastes nothing like shaved ice. The texture is softer -- truly snowlike. I got satsuma (a tart citrusy flavor that you'll find on the menu of many NOLA institutions, whether edible or in candle form) and cream of earl grey. I could barely taste the earl grey, so I think I should've gotten another flavor, but the satsuma was heavenly.“
“We stopped in here on our search for some authentic gelato. We tried a few different flavors such as the stracciatella, amarena cherry, cookies black, and hazelnut. The stracciatella was a little heavy on the chocolate but it was still super smooth and tasted great. The amarena cherry and cookies black were probably my two favorite gelatos as they were very well balanced! It's nice and quaint inside and there is some additional seating outdoors too.“
“Came here with the kiddos and really enjoyed our treat! They have a lot of different options—really unique flavors & their ice cream isn’t overly sweet. I went with the junior sundae. Nice portion size, the single scoop is pretty large. Also tried the Creole Strawberry, amazingly delicious! Can get quite crowded so seating can be problematic. Staff were friendly & attentive. Love that you can sample! Will be back.“
“I thought I liked all ice cream just about equally until my friend recommended I check out Lucy Boone. The texture is PERFECTION and the flavors are incredible. If my favorite flavor (chocolate mint cookie) turns out to be only a seasonal offering, it very well may ruin my life. Also, the staff is delightful and helpful!“
“Excellent ice cream and plenty of flavors from which to choose. My favorite ice cream is rum raisin. Not many places serve this flavor these days, and it is almost impossible to find in grocery stores. Angelo Brocato has an excellent Rum Raisin.“
“Decided to give this place a try randomly after brunch in terrytown. Was shocked at how many options there were for dessert. There’s popsicles in at least 30 different flavors, more options of ice cream than baskin Robbins, and more things you can order off the menu like bubble waffles, creative drinks, and mangonadas. Pleasantly surprised. I will be back.Kid-friendliness: Kids loved the bright colors and many options“
