Clear spearmint flavor
John B.

Lakeview has a newish snoball shop, thankfully. Unfortunately, doesn't seem to be as good as some of the better known shops that have been doing this a while. The flavor I ordered was "clear spearmint"; not sure why the clear flavors cost more but I was hoping it was because they are stronger. Unfortunately, the snoball that resulted was unevenly flavored. I tasted a decent bit of flavor on the bottom with my straw, but most of the top and center had little spearmint and were mostly ice. Ideally, these things are made by layering in the flavor generously as the cup is gradually filled with ice and pouring some extra on top. One of the advantages of syrups that aren't clear is you can see where the flavor went; not so in this case. They make flavored snow, and if I'm going to pay for that, I expect it to be done right. What else can I rate them on?

1st time here!

As the spouse of a snowball fanatic, I often find myself frequenting snowball stands all across the metro area. I've only been to Bubby's a few times and every time I've gone, it was to get the wifey a snowball. However, that doesn't mean I didn't take a giant scoop. (All for the benefit of Yelping about it). If you live on the Westside of Harrison between Old Hammond Highway & Veterans Blvd, this is actually a convenient location. Located at the corner of Harrison & Fleur De Lis in the corner of Fleur De Lis Car Care's parking lot, this small stand actually serves up a decent snowball. I had (eh....sampled) a chocolate snowball with condensed milk and it was A-ok, for lack of a better phrase. The ice was pretty smooth, but not velvety and the chocolate was sweet but not to the point of being overbearing. The best thing about this place is that there never seems to be a really long line. The do a steady business and you can get a good snowball in 5 minutes or less.

Strawberry and coconut mixed and stuffed snoball! Yum!

More flavor snowballs than other spots. I really like the stuffed snowballs get a little extra soft serve topping on them. This was the only snoball place open on a holiday too. Cash only. You'll see the colorful building on the side of the gas station. Would def come back here.

Soft serve in a sugar cone.

Good stuff! I didn't order anything but the kids loved their soft serve. Wifey had the SF coconut.

Very quiet but polite young lady working the stand. The snowballs (three of us) all tasted watered down. Would not go back.

If I were rating atmosphere alone- 3 stars would be generous…read more I am rating product and service because adding "ambiance", would do those who work here and their product a disservice. It takes a while to get your order because of low staffing. That said, when you get it of course it's beautiful and tastes great. Sitting just around the corner from Bourbon St. and the hustle and bustle energy that you walk thorough to get here- walking in was disappointing. It's a large open space with seating- and it's QUIET. No background music. It gives late night diner vibes and honestly, that's too bad. Adding music, upbeat- doesn't have to sound like a club but music and having more energy between staff and customers would greatly improve the experience and I believe, increase business. If there were some Fats Domino or 90s R&B flowing out of speakers and staff were smiling, upbeat, dancing etc. it would give more "legendary" experience verses midnight diner vibe. That alone made me not want to come back. Not everyone wants to drink alcohol so stopping to sit for a well made artistic milkshake is a great option. The energy brings down the vibe and experience. Match the ambiance, service and vibe to your menu and 5 stars all day.

This is a cute little place in the French Quarter that I feel is typically woefully understaffed…read morefor what they provide. The staff is always nice, but I feel that they are always so stressed to get the product out. The shakes are so overpriced. The small size is $1 less than twice the size. Now, you can share these delicious shakes with a friend or loved one (either size) but with tip, you're still spending $20 on one shake. Because the shakes are so elaborate and intricate, you're going to wait about 15-20 minutes per shake, even if you're the only ones there. I would love to give them more stars because it is such a delicious experience, but only have one to two people working is a very hard line to draw if you want customers to be patient/happy.

This is a New Orleans staple. In most cities, you list attractions and sites as must go places, in…read moreNew Orleans, you list the food and restaurants. And Cafe Du Monde is a quintessential must go place in the Crescent City! Even for locals, nothing beats a plate of fresh beignets covered in powdered sugar ashes down by a nice cup of cafe au lait made with strong chickpea laced coffee. Go for the beignets and stay for the people watching. Like the food court at the Mall of America's, you'll see every walk of life come to Cafe Du Monde. You might even see a local musician or politician here. The vibe and the beignets keep people coming back. Laissez les beignets rouller!

The last time I was in New Orleans was early 2014, and even then my reasons for being in the city…read morewere not touristic. I had the chance to come back to the city last weekend, when a good friend from my Italy days was in town for a conference. I was able to meet her to explore the city for a day, and we of course had to make room for beignets and Cafe du Monde. We almost settled for one of the locations at an indoor mall, but we stuck out a 20-30 min walk from where we were to make it to the original at the French Quarter. Since it was just two of us, we were able to get seated pretty quickly even though there was an expected Saturday morning line. I am also glad my friend had cash because they STILL only accept cash for payment. No credit cards, which is wild at any US establishment nowadays. We also tried to only order one plate of beignets (come in a set of 3) and one coffee each but the server came back with two beignet plates and coffees. $20 with tax included! The beignets themselves were scrumptious, warm, and delicious ofcourse. So I suppose worth any inconvenience that we may have experienced. However, the tables are left incredibly messy. It is true that our server did wipe off our table before we sat down but it is embarrassing to see patrons create such a mess to begin with.
