This pie tasted like it was full of sugar and the crust was awful. I love a good pie and this crust was too thick in a bad way and bready. It was not soft and the filling was massively lacking, being ALL crust and no bosenberry made me feel like it was not worth the steep price we had paid for it. I did preorder the pie so it was ready and they were nice and made sure that I picked it up in time.

My New Orleanian family and I visited SnoCorner this weekend and let me tell you, it was absolutely…read moreon point. As true New Orleans natives, snoballs and beignets are serious business, so we don't use the word "authentic" lightly, but Snocorner absolutely earns it. Let me tell you, they got it right. Light, fluffy, perfectly fried, and covered in just the right amount of powdered sugar. Not greasy, not doughy but just like you'd expect sitting in the Quarter on a Saturday morning. And the snoballs....everyone from New Orleans knows this is serious business. The ice is perfection, and the flavors are spot on. Whether you go classic or try something a little different, it tastes like it came straight out of a neighborhood snoball stand back home. If you've been missing a taste of New Orleans or you've never had the real thing, Snocorner is the place to go!!.

Their desserts were just as impressive, beautifully presented and perfect if you're craving something sweet after a meal. The pahlava was amazing, fresh, flaky, and perfectly sweet with great flavor.

They offer Apple Pay, so I was able to pay with my phone. There are three small round tables inside if you feel like eating your treats there. I decided to start to eat my gelato there, but got up and left because there was no music playing. It was too quiet with no other customers. The gelato I got was a not flavorful or as creamy as expected.

What made them different is they used taro flour and cooked them in coconut oil. Some of their flavors were tropical. Now I can write about how the oil smell emanating from the store made me nauseous whenever I passed by during business hours. It's weird because I didn't think bad of the donuts themselves and could stand to eat them. I will say after having them on two prior occasions, they made an impression on me when they participated in the yearly Belmont Shore chocolate festival. They offered a freshly chocolate glazed donut. It was so delicious having it fresh as opposed to letting it sit and have later. Thanks for the memories! I won't forget you, Holey Grail!

I got the biscuits and gravy, lemon ricotta pancakes, and breakfast pizza. The biscuits and gravy were SO GOOD, I just wish they gave me more! I might've been in a food coma all day though. The biscuits are very buttery, and the gravy is very thick, so it's a decadent and heavy breakfast for sure. The lemon ricotta pancakes were light, fluffy, and bright. I enjoyed them a lot compared to a classic pancake. The breakfast pizza was awesome. Charred pizza crust, topped with hollandaise, good bacon, and few leafy greens to make you feel better about yourself.

Honestly, I feel bad for not telling everyone sooner... but also I understand why people gatekeep. Anyway, this is me doing a public service. Go to Foodologie. Get the ube brownies. Thank me later.
