    I'd always spot this colorful little shack so this day I had a couple of minutes to spare and gave them a try. There's parking right out front for a couple of cars. Not much space. The menu was extensive but I can't stray away from my favorite snowball flavor which is green apple. The prices were reasonable, the service was nice, and they were pretty quick. I also ordered corn in a cup. It was okay. The one I chose with the Tony's on top was a little to salty for me. I'd go back if I'm ever in the mood for a snowball. It was pretty good. Was the softest ice I've ever had but it was still good.

    One of the best snowballs in the greater nola area!! The ice is shaved super finely and they have a variety of flavors! The staff is very kind as well!

    We stopped by here for some tasty treats. They did not disappoint! My girls were happy that they were able to try a TikTok trending mango ice cream. My husband got the banana split and I got a Tiger's blood snowball with condensed milk. Everything was delicious and we all left happy! Friendly service as well. Definitely give them a try!

    Very good food. Very good environment. Very good service. Very good music. Very good snowball. Would recommend to people traveling here.

    I got a mangonada and it was frozen....legit frozen. To be fair, he did tell me it would be frozen but I expected a slush....overall the mangonada was good...would have been better if it wasn't frozen. The other four snowballs we got were good. The ice was fine. Oh and the prices weren't bad either.

    Mangonada completely frozen

    The place is very nice and pretty. Everything else is great but their mangonada. It is legit frozen. It tasted gross after it is thawed out.

    I was just driving in search for a playground for my nephew when I noticed a bright house that has been converted to snow ball stand. I made a U-turn and check them out. Glad I did because sold not only snowballs, they also sold Elote! I love corn. It's a drive from where I live but a short ride from where I work. We end up with a Blood Tiger Flavor kid snowball with an extra charge for two cherry on top and one Cajun corn and one Elite Loco. You can either have your corn in a corn paper tray or wrap in foil. It's looks so much yummy to have it open in the corn paper tray. The only complaint I have would be that the corn wasn't roasted more. We all enjoyed our snacks. The staffs are friendly. I love it that you can either pay in cash or credit cards. I actually came back the next day and try their mangonada, elote Fuego (spicy then the Elote Loco) and corn in a cup. I'm so glad they're not close by or else I will be here almost every day!

    Absolutely the best snowball place in the city of New Orleans. So many amazing choices.

    Came on a day trip to New Orleans just to eat and meet up with a friend who is from there. She took…read moreme to a couple of neighborhoods so I get an idea of where to stay if I decide to stay for a year. Then she asked me if I've ever had a snowball. I told her I wasn't a fan of icees because I grew up in Hawaii, where we have shaved ice. I described how the ice was so soft that it's almost like powder snow and is even creamy with toppings. She told me I really needed a try a snowball because in all the years I've come to New Orleans to eat it's an item that the locals love and one of the things I have to cross off my imaginary bucket list. I reluctantly agreed and we went to the Warehouse district and pulled up to Hansen's. She explained how nostalgic it was and how many celebrities have had Hansens. To my surprise snowballs are as soft as shaved ice from Hawaii! I really loved how there are so many flavor combinations. I'm not crazy about artificial flavors and was so happy to see Earl Grey tea and lavender! Such a grown-up flavor combination and that's what I ordered! A small was already too big, but it was wonderful, especially on such a hot, Summer day! I'm so grateful to Stacye for taking me to this local institution!!

    Add this to your itinerary. Absolutely worth the stop…read more Shaved Ice doesn't describe it properly. It's like a fluffy snow cloud. Get the satsuma or any citrus flavor. So refreshing. The strawberry shortcake is good but super creamy and heavy. The crushed strawberry topping (extra) helps lighten it up. The sizes are massive and very reasonably priced. Benches to the side of the building.
