Louisiana Snow Ball
Jason P.

I've been tracking Sno 'N Dough ("SND") for a few weeks now, and I'm happy that they opened at Parkville Market this week. They specialize in Fair/Carnival type food such as fried dough concoctions, fried Oreos, popcorn and . . . Louisiana Snowballs. I like a fruity and icy dessert. Always have. Louisiana Snowballs fit the bill. They share DNA with a snow cone, but the Snowball ice crystals are finer, are less likely to form large ice chunks and have (excuse me for a moment while I'm THAT guy) better mouth feel. They'll eventually draw from an even larger number of flavor bottles, but I ordered a vibrantly colored Blue Bubble Gum, Red Cherry and Yellow Pineapple. The end result was an Instagram worthy color bomb. SND has many other options even now. I ordered it without the milk option, which makes it sweeter. Without the milk, the sweetness level was right on for me. But you do you! I've interacted with the owners and employees both online and in person on numerous occasions. Couldn't be nicer folks. Service was first rate. Parkville Market is an awesome place to set up shop. I look forward to perfecting my flavor and color game with the Snowballs. Five Stars!

Tigers blood!

What a perfect addition to Parkville! The snowball is reminiscent of shave ice in Hawaii, especially with the condensed milk over the top. The 8oz was a good size for me--I got the tigers blood flavor (strawberry coconut) with the condensed milk topping-- great flavor recommendation, I can see why it's one of the most popular. The staff was super nice and helpful. While waiting to order, I watched to them make the fried dough and they look so cool--maybe next visit I'll try this!

Did someone say snow cone in 20 degrees weather with some amazing friends? A place that brings back memories to your childhood days of having that snow cone on a hot summer day. 20 something years later I am here trying another version of snow cone called Snoballs. They have a wide variety of flavors to choose from and my first choice was the strawberry. It had condensed milk on top which make it so sweet, creamy, and delicious. It was like a strawberry milkshake on top and strawberry slushy underneath. Oh my, I think I need another. Next on the list to try was the fried dough. The menu pictures looked amazing and I could hardly decide on what to get. A friend recommended the Nutella and banana and I was told this was their top seller. It was very delicious, not too sweet and I even brought some home for my husband to try. He said that it was huge, sweet, and delicious and maybe he will have to go to the gym tomorrow lol. Thinking about it now makes him want another bite. Lol I would definitely recommend for your sweet treats and I think it will get a lot busier in the summer when the time is hot. I will be back to try more flavors.

If you are ever visiting the Parkville Market in Hartford CT you must try Sno n Dough it's certainly worth a try. I stopped in after seeing the Van Gogh exhibit. I got a snowball with tigers blood. No condensed milk. It was WONDERFUL. The owner was very nice. What made me stop is I saw the segment about Sno n Dough on CT Live. It was certainly worth my time. Will stop in again. I say go and check Sno n Dough out. Enjoy!!!

Snoball with whipped cream and condensed milk

I am not a huge sweets person - but many of my friends are! I initially came here for a yelp event and every time someone I know wants something sweet, I can't suggest Sno 'N Dough enough. My last trip to Parkville Market my friend wanted some fried dough, and got the oreo flavored. OMG it was the best fried dough I have ever had - I can't stop thinking about it! The dough itself was perfect and topped with oreos, ice cream, a heaping pile of whipped cream, and chocolate drizzle. Of course their sno cones are equally as delicious, I love their homemade whipped cream! Highly recommend getting dessert here if you're at Parkville Market.

The restaurant is located inside Parkville Market. If you're not familiar with Parkville Market, it's a market filled with numerous restaurants. Cool right. Parking is great. Pay attention for the Parkville at the entrance of the packing lot or you'll miss it! There's plenty of space but expect to park a little further during lunch and busy hours. While dining at Meltdown he owner came out and hit us with a major surprise! Sno N Dough(which was formerly opened but closed)was back! If you're not familiar with Sno N Dough, they served sweet treats like snowcones and fried dough, Louisiana style. He is the owner of both. I have to say this totally made my day! I went right on down to get me one, lol. They used to be opened right next door to Meltdown. Now they're all the way at the other end I can't make it to a carnival, no problem, lol. Their fried dough is out of this world. It's so good I didn't get a pic, lol. The difference between their snowcones and traditional is that theirs are topped with Sweet Condensed milk. Baybeeee before you jugde, try it and i promise you'll like it. Now i get it all through my snowcone! Highly recommend and would come again! I'm so happy they're back!!!!

This is a really nice spot in Parkville Market !Has great options if you want to satisfy your sweet tooth. I tried 2 types of fried dough so far and I was happy with both.One was the s'mores and the other was 50/50 (half sugar ,half cinnamon).I was expecting for the s'mores to be way too sweet for me but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it wasn't too much!I do love the classic fried dough however I would like to try the other options next time I go .Did someone said Taco ?

The fan agree with the taste and flavor
Miguel S.

The location of is full of lights and music sounds that can keep you moving. SNO N Dough was the perfect addition to this location. Who can say no to Carnival food. The Snoball is such a great tasting treat. This is such a great spot to bring friends family and you'll have a good time thinking your at a Carnival. The food is just as if your at a Carnival to melt your taste buds on some delicious treats. The guys that work there are very friendly and love what they do. Check them out with out a doubt.

3 beignets for 8.99 and COLD!!
Des D.

This had to be a joke. We ordered their new menu item "beignets" and were so excited. For 8.99 you get three very small beignets. That's nearly $3 a piece. Not only that but they were still COLD in parts of it. I also really assumed I would be getting at least 4 beignets for the price. I have no clue if I was supposed to get 4 but we saw the man frying our beignets where he fried 4 total but ate the 4th one immediately before serving us. Again- could be a coincidence but it was really odd that he made 4 and kept one for himself to eat in front of us lol. I was not a fan of this place.

I was so excited to attend my first Elite Yelp event. Deploying for the entire year of 202. I like the Parkville area you have so many foodie spots to try. But today it was all about Sno N Dough. The guys were excited to have me there. The owner had me try the Tiger's Blood Snoball. fanny pal, compliment from Yelp. Thank you Yelp. I had a bag of popcorn. I brought my mom along. The popcorn was banging. I can attest to that because my mom devoured it. The Tiger's Blood snoball was sweet, refreshing and the whipped cream on top is great when you add both to your spoon. It was like a surprise in my mouth. I look forward to returning for fried dough and churros. To all my Elite Yelpers I look forward to my next Elite Yelper event. So let's continue to eat our way through the world. #foodie4life.

Receipt for fried dough that employees loudly and falsely accused me of walking away without paying for.
Joe M.

Bought a fried dough from their booth at the jazz festival. I was walking away with my food when an employee chased me halfway back to the lawn yelling that I didn't pay for my order. On top of causing an embarrassing scene, this was totally incorrect. I described the employee who had swiped my card and rung up my order only a couple minutes earlier, and was told that this was the same employee who was claiming that I hadn't paid! Luckily, the receipt had been sent to my email (see attached photo) and proved them wrong. Ridiculous. EDIT: I caught them at a quiet moment and I was literally the only one in line to pay when this happened. It was calm enough that the employee was able to chat with me for a minute while ringing up my food, which made it even more absurd that five minutes later she was insisting I hadn't paid.

Tiger's blood
Sho R.

Banana Nutella Fried dough was the best I ever had. The combination works really good. I am not a big fan of shaved icecream. The flavor of tiger blood was good, but overall I would say it was ok.

Louisiana snowbal
Andrew I.

Had a great experience today at Sno N Dough. It's located in the Parkville Market in Hartford. Plenty of parking outside. I've never had a Louisiana snowball before, but plan on returning for more. I got there before they opened, but the friendly staff said they were ready to serve. I got the whole run down on how they were made and all the ingredients that go into it. I'm not a big fan of whipped cream, so I asked for a small amount. That was a mistake because it was the best whipped cream I've ever eaten. All the flavors mixed in very well. As it slowly melted, each ingredient was mixed together deliciously. Very positive experience and will be returning. Even grabbed some popcorn to go with my sno-ball

This has been my favorite hotpot restaurant for almost 10 years, ever since that faithful day in…read more2017 when my review of Han won Yelp's Review of the day. Over the years, I came here many times, often with a group & I have introduced Hot pot to many of my American colleagues. The boss was here most of time & the hot pot was consistently amazing, never a miss. Unfortunately, all good things eventually come to an end. My recent visit made me realize that Han hot pot was not what it used to be. There were three strikes in my last visit. When I went in, I realized that the boss was no longer around, replaced by a "manager". It wasn't a good sign as this is the same boss of the restaurant "Song", when he stopped managing Song directly, the food good quality went down hill fast. The first strike was the order. I ordered several mushrooms for my hotpot, the waiter suggested just go with "mushrooms platter", so I said ok. It turns out, none of the mushrooms showed up, he forgot the mushroom platter that he himself suggested. Ok mistakes happen, let's just focus on the food. The second strike was that the lamb slices were nowhere as good as before. They were cut way too thick. This completely changed hot pot cook timing, texture & flavor. This is a big fail at foundational level for Chinese hotpot. I am from Beijing, the capital of hotpot, serving thick slices for hotpot is just unthinkable. The third strike, something was a miss in the sauce department. I always mix my own Beijing hotpot sauce mix, which is based on Sesame paste, leek flower, fermented tofu & a few other things, it had never tasted sweet until now. This is no good, did somebody add sugar to sesame paste? Or one of the other ingredients? Regardless, the mix tasted off & it ruins the experience. I mixed another dish & the same, tasted too sweet, someone is adding sugar where it doesn't belong. All of the fail compounded by raising the price to $33, it'd be hard to justify coming back here for lunch going forward. Fair well my Han hot pot. Note: Yelp is messed up. I did an update & Yelp failed to keep my original review which I gave 5 stars & won Yelp of the day (YOTD). So the entire 2017 review & YOTD record is now gone. However, strangely, Yelp kept my old photos. These photos are from 9 years ago, they do look better than the food being served today!

(As soon as the order arrived, and I realized my mistake, I asked customer service to credit my account $20 cash back.) The response: "I understand how frustrating it feels to miss out on a limited-time offer, especially when you were looking forward to that $20 cashback. Promo codes do have specific terms... and unfortunately, they can't be applied after an order is placed. I know that's not the answer you were hoping for, but I'm here if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can do to help with your Gopuff experience." I wasted a half an hour back-and-forth with customer support, trying to get them to behave rationally, as if I am a real person. I have brain injury and made a mistake. Is Gopuff's policy so lacking and inclusivity that it cannot credit me the $20 to my account for an order I just placed and forgot to use the code because I have brain injury? YES. THE DEAL: there are lots of choices for the best Boston home delivery. Use another delivery service.

I also tried a plain vanilla ice cream topped with Lucky Charms. There were lots of toppings to choose, from crushed Oreos, cookie dough, brownie bites, Reese's Pieces, sprinkles, hot fudge, caramel, whipped cream, fresh fruit, and cherries...making it fun to customize whatever you're craving.

Just a 0.6-mile walk, nbd, right? :D But on the way there I did get to see where the State Capitol was since I walked right by it. Yeah, there's a reason it's called "Capitol Street". I also didn't realize I would be walking into Frog Hollow, so that was cool, I guess. But the visit was worth the walk. The intent of coming here was so that my liver could oxidize the drinks I had earlier. Additionally, the ice cream did make me thankful the walk was longer than I had intended it to be even though I don't really know Hartford pretty much at all. I did have a sneaking suspicion I had had this before, so I looked back at my old reviews. Lo and behold, I DID have Capital Ice Cream before at the Hartford Taste Festival when I went last year and tried their Hartford Dough Down. In fact, it was one of the places I had remarked I most wanted to give an in-earnest visit to when I talked about it in that review. Because of this, I have now gone to a place in-person after first visiting their stand at a festival (I still need to do that for Sandra's Next Generation one fine day since I had their festival food the day before the historic flood of 2024). This time around I got to see a little of what the interior of the place looked like. You can find some interesting fact about Connecticut while you're there. I didn't get to take too many photos of that, but I at least got to snap myself some lore about Hartford. Apparently it's one of this nation's oldest cities, being founded in 1635. Cool stuff! I'd love to come back even if only for the lovely history. They have an outdoor area you can have your ice cream in, and an area where you can go downstairs to eat I believe. It's a bit cramped when trying to order, so something to keep in mind. Thankfully the service is great, quick and efficient. This time I nabbed myself a large key lime pie milkshake, and I HAD to go with The Force! I may not come from a galaxy far, far away, but I needed some Force goddammit! Originally I was going order the Charter Oak until I'd realized there was key lime pie ice cream and I couldn't say no to key lime pie. The Force is a chocolate ice cream with Oreo's mixed in and whipped cream on top as well as confectionery sugar. Overall, it's a definitely a great stop for ice cream lovers who want to do a CT Ice Cream Tour. I'll even go so far as to say it is a great ice cream to have when walking by the State Capitol. While I am more partial to having ice cream at harbors and sea shores (think having the ice cream on a dock while my feet dangle over the water), ice cream by a major government building is still a very beautiful thought. Of the two things I had, I would definitely say I preferred the milkshake over the sundae. I think on summer days key lime pie ice cream is more refreshing overall. But both things were very good. For hot days, this is an outstanding choice! If you're someone who loves to learn some new history, definitely come here. If you like having ice cream walking by a state capitol, this is definitely the place for you. This might not be my number-one place to have ice cream, but I definitely think this was a tasty treat that I'd be more than happy to visit again in Hartford.
