    Everytime I come back to Tallahassee I always come to Big Easy Snowballs. In my most recent visit, I was greeted and served by Daniel. He had excellent customer service, patience, attentive to details and the flavors offered!

    The service was fast, the ice cream was good, and the people were nice. I really liked that you can really make any combination you would like. It was overwhelming at first, but the lady helped me choose by asking questions on things I liked and didn't like and was able to recommend something just for me. Will be back when I'm back in the area!

    A fun take on snowballs or as I call them "snow-cones". Located on the perimeter of the lake Ella; this tasty treat is ideal on a hot day strolling around the park. There are multiple size cups available and an overwhelming number of flavors to choose from. You have the choice of traditional snowballs to decadent snowballs stuffed with ice-cream in the middle. You know I had to have decadence. The strawberry berry shortcake was de-li-cious! Although sweet, as expected, the ice-cream in the middle was a nice touch. I would definitely suggest you go try them out!

    A delicious treat! Friend staff with a Small sitting area inside. Such a huge variety of flavors and options. A small is really enough for an enjoyable and filling treat.

    A taste of New Orleans in Tallahassee! Growing up in Wisconsin, I only ever tried sno-cones and always felt a bit underwhelmed by the idea. This meant that when I moved to Tallahassee and saw a few snowball places scattered, I never gave them a second thought. Well, I'm glad I finally gave (real) snowballs a try and came to Big Easy Snowballs! These are nothing like the sno-cones of my childhood and have easily become my new favorite summer treat! You start with base of finely shaved ice, add in a scope of ice cream at the center, and drizzle on your favorite syrup flavors, including cream ones made with sweet and condensed milk for extra sweetness. I love the strawberry and blackberry with the ice cream center, but the more herbal flavors are probably my favorites now. Even the small I had was a bit large for me, though, so choose accordingly, but I've sure you'll love every bit!

    Big Easy is the perfect spot to cool down on a hot summer day (and honestly, their snow balls are so delicious that I would eat one on a 35-degree January day)! My favorite thing about these is that you don't run out of flavor after a few bites- these are one million percent better than any stadium snow cones. I have been about three times since Memorial Day weekend and it never disappoints!

    Big Easy Snowballs has something for everyone with 150 different flavors, including succulent cream flavors and sugar free varieties. The specialty of the house is a "stuffed" snowball - a regular snowball in any flavor stuffed in the middle with French Vanilla soft serve ice cream.

    My youngest is a huge sno cone fan and she was in love with Big Easy Snowballs. She ordered the medium in sour lemon and raspberry and it was more than enough. I also like they offer soft serve as an alternative for my older daughter that won't eat sno cones and local, Lucky Goat, coffee. Great location on the water with lots of Poke stops by for Pokémon Go players.

    Snowballs!!

    Another great recommendation from our daughter for snowballs at Big Easy! Really nicely located on Lake Ella, even on the drizzly Friday we visited there was a nice family crowd. Tremendous variety of flavors here for snowballs which are New Orleans "shaved ice." You can also get your snowball stuffed with soft serve vanilla ice cream. The root beer snowball I selected was supremely delicious and so good! I also sampled both the mango, coconut snowball flavors! Wonderful as well! Worth checking out Big Easy snowballs is you're looking for a cool treat!

I sat at the soda counter and ordered strawberry pancakes with bacon, and I tried their root beer flight. Turns out they didn't have all of the root beers because one was discontinued or unable to be sent to them any longer so one of my root beers was an orange soda. I liked the opportunity to try these sodas on tap and not commit to one. That's a really fun idea. Pancakes were fluffy and delicious. The bacon was good and I love strawberry pancakes so I'm a big fan when that's on the menu. I really didn't spend a lot of time there, but everyone was friendly and courteous and I didn't have to wait too long for anything from being greeted when I got there to being served. It was a great experience.

They have fun dispensers of M&Ms with all different color choices and they have a separate party room where you get to play kid games and still get to see what's going on in the main part of the store. In the store itself they have vintage games for kids and also modern takes on games that I haven't seen before. The woman who owns the store is also an engaging and interesting person who works there with her sister and also supports a local bakery that provides their beautiful cakes and cupcakes.

It would make any child's day to head here for ice cream and candy. (There is an entire wall full of various candies that can be selected and weighed. I noticed it was $10.95/lb. There are also a few tables where you can sit down and eat and a TV playing kid appropriate shows, but no sound. In my overall opinion, this place is extremely overpriced but cute. It will probably generate good revenue because of the location, but there are much better ice cream shops in town.
