The snow cones they've got here are amazing! I'm obsessed with them and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming. I love the cotton candy flavoring!
If you haven't been to Casey's New Orleans Snowballs, you're missing out on one of the most delicious ways to beat the Texas heat! They serve NOLA-style snowballs with powder soft ice and offer a ton of flavors. Sugar-free? 100% juice? Creamy and decadent? They seem tone something for every palate. My personal favorite is mango syrup with chamoy and tajín . The staff is super friendly and helpful, even when the line gets long (which is often), it moves quickly. Use your time in line to browse the menu and check out what others are ordering, you might get inspired and it helps the line move faster if you know your order when you approach the window. Insider tips: * Parking can be tricky, so bring your patience and /or a bike . * No seating, but you can enjoy your treat in your car or on the steps. You can enjoy your treat at home if you have the willpower. (I don't ) * If your server is Deaf or hard of hearing, don't stress, just write your order down and learn the sign for "Thank you" (it's a small act of kindness that makes a difference). * Follow them on social media to stay up to date on hours, seasonal changes, and more. Casey's is one of my favorite places for a cold treat in Austin.
Saw a line outside this shop and decided to visit it after dinner. Parking is a little tight but we managed to find a spot at the back. They closed at 7pm and we were the last minute customers that came at 6:55pm but the staff were amazing! There were so many choices but ended up with classic grape and dole whip. Did not disappoint! It was a nice treat on a warm evening.
Best snow cones in Austin! They have so many flavor options and add ons. My only complaint is that the sugar free flavors are a dollar extra (I don't think there should be an up-charge as some people have to have sugar free for their health), but I highly recommend the vanilla orchard!
I'm not much of a snow cone person, but this was surprising very delicious and refreshing! The x-small is a good size for a cool snack, and I got the blue coconut, mango, and strawberry flavors. I forgot what my friend got . There so many flavors to choose from, and it tastes really good with the dole pineapple soft serve! Service was quick, and there aren't any outdoor or indoor seating, but you can sit at the steps and enjoy the delicious snack!
It's not a summer in Austin without a trip to Casey's! There's nothing better than a delicious snow cone when it's scorching hot outside and Casey's has the best around! They offer great flavors, stuffings, and toppings at a reasonable price with great customer service! FAST FACTS: *Parking - free street parking nearby *Hours - daily from 2:00 pm to 9:00 pm but check their socials for the most up to date information because it could change SERVICE - The workers are always pleasant to interact with at the walk up window! PRICING - The total was $19.25 before tip for two medium snow cones ($7 each) with cheesecake stuffing ($1.50 each) and whipped cream ($0.75 each) with one having a sugar free flavor ($0.75). The snow cones are a large size so the pricing seems reasonable! My go-to is usually dreamsicle stuffed with vanilla soft serve (which is amazing) but this time I tried the seasonable pumpkin flavor with the cheesecake filling and whipped cream since that had been marketed on their social media. It was super tasty and I'd get it again! If you like snow cones, Casey's is your place in Austin! I've yet to have a negative experience in the 3 years I've been going and will always recommend Casey's to others!
Wow! Great taste and even greater customer service!! The staff were super friendly and helpful. If you have allergies, please let them know, the allergen information from their supplier is very confusing and vague, but the staff are very willing to help. The ice is super fine! You can add soft serve at the bottom, but I honestly don't recommend. Since it is at the bottom of the cup, by the time you get to it, the ice and syrup has already melted so you can't really taste the ice cream. Flavors: a lottt of flavors so ask for samples! They even have special flavors of the month. They're all tasty! Especially their peach (strong and tastes real). The creamy flavors are thicker so the lady told us to let her know if we need more syrup as we eat. Again, very great customer service. No seatings, you walk up to the counter and order. But you can sit on the steps. Chill vibes! The only reason I gave them 4/5 is because of the portion size/price. I got XS for $5.75 ($5 for standard XS, $.75 for creamy flavors), which is considerably pricier than my frequent snowcone place (Snobeach). However, they do have unique flavors and it did remind of the ones I had in New Orleans so try it out y'all
Best snow cones in Austin! So many different flavors & topping/stuffing options. We got Orchid Cream Vanilla with Marshmallow and sugar free pineapple with mango pieces
Parking here at times could be a little limited but it's worth waiting for a spot to open up nonetheless. The snowballs here have hit the spot mostly every time as I've been here four times and maybe only once I didn't favor the flavor combo I concocted. I'm also pretty new to the snowcone world so I'm learning what I love and what I don't. The staff here is always a hit as they're all in a great mood, even helped me out once and put my phone on one of their chargers so I could use my GPS to get back home. Overall, I really love this place and seeing everyone leave happily with their snowballs. Can even tell they're pretty big to their neighbors as well considering on my way there I'd see little kids eating them on their bikes and skateboards, haha. Highly recommend!
The lines goes quick and ordering is easy! I got the medium size snow cone and you can get up to three flavors. I enjoyed the blue coconut flavor the most but I also tried pink lemonade and pina colada.
Never disappoints! Go get yourself a summer sweet treat! They have many flavors and soft serve as well. Their pineapple Dole whip was super yummy!
A refreshing treat! While the line was long, Casey's was well worth the wait. I chose the peach, strawberry, and clear coconut flavors, which went very well together. Also, I loved how soft the ice was! While I really like sweet desserts, a few of my friends thought that it was too sweet. I would also add that it's a bit pricier than some other snowcones I've had - $5.25 for a small, $6.25 for a medium.
OVERVIEW: Yummy, simple, perfect summer treat! Everything from creamy treats to classic snow cones with tons of flavors (too many to choose from)! An Austin original that is well-loved. Note that parking can be a little tricky (around the area) but is free and there's not really any sitting area to enjoy your treat. You can chill on the steps to the building or take it to-go! Overall it was tasty and reasonably priced - I would go back if in the area for a post-dinner treat. QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, around the neighborhood/behind or to the side of the building. It's located on a weird corner so just park around. We got an XS dole whip and a small snow cone. You can choose up to 3 flavors (or add-ons for additional $). I went with the blue coconut, tiger's blood, and grandma's nectar cream. All were great and the small is quite large! read more

Really enjoyed the snow cones here. The shaved ice was extremely smooth/creamy almost. Flavors were very tasty. A bit pricey, quite frankly, but I think it was worth it. There was a line, but it moved quickly. Parking can be a challenge. read more
I was so happy to drive past Casey's ! I made a U-turn so fast . I'm from New Orleans so snowballs are a staple for us. The ice and flavor was just like home . The staff were so nice and friendly and the snowballs came out so fast . The Stand is nice and clean . We will be back asap! read more

A snowball is an essential tasty treat for hot summer days. I find snowballs to be more soft and fluffy than a snow cone or shave ice. Casey's fits the spot located near a busy of 51st and airport. You'll normally see a line in front of the stand (it's more like a house with a porch than a stand). There are lots of syrup combinations. I think up to 3. Even sone sugar free and specialty ones throughout the season. The rainbow is very picture friendly. You can even add some soft serve to give it a creamy texture. As for parking there's a gravel lot and street parking. If you are turning left here from 51st it might be a little tricky during rush hour. I suggest trying to end up on the right side or find a back road in - but that's the fun of driving here. Note: they are very generous with the syrup they make sure that it covers all the ice and even poke a hole or two to make sure it coats everything. read more
My goodness. This is just what I needed during this 100+ degree streak we're having. The line was backed up into the parking lot, so you know that's a good sign. The wait was pretty quick. I ordered the Boston cream pie snowball and could not believe how similar it tasted to my favorite dessert! I'll definitely be back to stay cool during this summer. read more
Casey's has been around since the 90's and is a well established spot for summer cool downs. It's open seasonally and the line was loooong as people had been waiting all winter for it to re-open to get their fix. They have so many flavors and while I could have ordered multiple, I decided to go with root beer and added froyo which was an excellent choice imo because it reminded me of a root beer float. The staff were very cool and my friend ordered multiple flavors and a lemonade made in house. I would definitely come back, especially on a hot day when the Texas sun is out. read more
Oh my goshhhh, when it's 100+ every single day these snowballs are just perfectttt. I got a size small and it was huge couldn't finish it. It was very tasty and they have lots of flavor options plus top pics and soft serve. You order at a window and I don't think they have seating but we sat on the steps just fine. read more

We arrived and had to wait a little while, but the line moved quickly. The young lady at the front was so helpful and assisted us with figuring out what flavors we wanted. We were able to try a few flavors to ensure we were excited and pleased with what we were ordering. We ordered three: 1. Orchid cream vanilla and Grandma's nectar cream with extra cream added. 2. Strawberry Cheesecake with extra cream, I think? 3. Strawberry, wedding cake, and another flavor with cream. We were satisfied and cooled off quickly after a hot, blistering summer day! read more

Amazing!!! They have twin windows open so it's speedy, they're also very nice and the snow cone was cold and with soft ice. read more
I decided to try this out on a hot summer day here in Austin and loved it! These were the best snowballs I've ever had and the ice was very soft but crunchy. There is a line whenever you are here but it is a FANTASTIC FAVORITE. It took about 10-15 minutes to make our order and they made the snowballs in front of us. Definitely try this place out for your next summer treat! read more
I used to frequent the original location in Metairie, LA often and this Austin location is just as good! They are working through covid by requiring online orders so there isn't a long line outside. It's hard to find a true snowball with the "melt-in-your-mouth" ice. Shaved ice seems more common around these parts and I hate shaved ice. It's doesn't soak up the good juice. This is the real deal for a New Orleans snowball in Texas. Do yourself a favor and go and it doesn't need to be a hot day. Don't you eat ice cream in the winter too? Just a thought in case you needed the lil extra push to try it. read more

The best summer treat! With all these hot humid days in Austin - Casey's does not miss. You can't go wrong with any of the flavors here! This little hidden gem off of airport is def worth the line. They are pretty quick to make the snow cones and they have soo many flavors to choose from! I also love that the syrups aren't super sugary where your teeth feel gritty! They have pineapple dole whip that you can add on - 10/10 recommend doing this! If you're an adult I recommend getting the size small and opt out if x-small, it's worth the extra .50 for the size up as they are significantly different. I wish they had some sort of insulated cups, because the plastic cups they serve it in make the snow cone melt quickly! read more

Perfect spot for a snow cone during the summer! They have a wide variety of flavors and the ice is soft and fluffy! I always get a small mango with sweet and condensed milk! Sometimes they have add ins like pineapple or cheesecake. Make sure to get their punch card if you think you will stop by often this summer! There isn't really anywhere to sit besides on the stairs in front. read more
