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.

Pandora Sno Balls & Ice Cream has the BEST sno balls in the city -- absolutely at the top of my…read morelist! They have a huge variety of flavors, and every single one I've tried has been perfect. The texture is unmatched too... truly the best soft ice in New Orleans. Located in Mid-City on Carrollton Ave, this spot is a neighborhood favorite. They also serve food and snacks, which makes it even better for a quick stop. Service is good just be ready for long lines. If you haven't tried them yet, it's a MUST. One of the best places to visit in NOLA during sno-ball season!

I had a good experience at pandoras snowballs. The snowball was pretty darn good & the service was…read moregood as well. I do with they had seating, but other than that I have no complaints. I stopped by pandora's snowballs on a saturday afternoon and it was pretty busy. Despite the long line, we actually were served pretty quickly. And our snowball was made pretty fast as well. The food was pretty good! It was very sugary, but that's kinda what you come for :) the ice was really good & the cream was also yummy. It was a nice balance. I also thought the flavors of ice were nice and potent. We got a stuffed snowball with vanilla cream & half mango + half strawberry cheesecake. We also got the sour spray on the mango half. I'd recommend getting some more toppings, it would definitely make it more delicious I was a little disappointed that there was no seating or tables to eat at. Had to eat and walk at the same time.. or if there were tables we couldn't find them. But overall a good experience
