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.

Their syrup is house made and you can tell. I went with the mandarin basil flavor. They have the option to spike it to make it boozy and of course I did. I went with vodka, but they have pretty much whatever alcohol to complement whatever flavor you going with. The owners are in there working and they are amazing. So run don't walk and go get a snoball. They also have a cool thrift shop next door. Win win.

Everybody always says Hansen's is the best, but I'm sorry... they just can't compete with Chance in Hell, no matter what anyone says. Handcrafted syrups, quality ingredients, and that ice... listen. If you're really from New Orleans, you KNOW the difference between a snoball and a snow cone. That ice is so fine, so soft, it literally melts in your mouth. You really be like, "What ICE?!" It's up there, for real. And the space? Baby... it's a whole experience. Perfectly curated to their brand. Very show-stopping, very show girl, all the drama in the best way. It's beautiful, it's fun, it's a vibe. It is more on the pricier side. With the quality of the Snoball. The difference is in the details. Honestly, they're one of the main reasons we surviving this heat. There really is a Chance in Hell lol.

The service was fast and friendly. The inside still has a chill aesthetic to it like before. I got a large Iced Tiramisu Latte (with tax = $8.51).

The coffee tasted really good, but the caffeine definitely hits you instantly since it's a cold brew mixed with that tiramisu foam. Overall, still a recommended coffee place in the West Bank area!

Today, we were blazing hot and decided to go on the hunt for a New Orleans sno-ball! We decided to…read moredrive down St. Claude and voila, there we found Danielle's! First of all, Danielle is super warm and friendly to all of her customers. She has a large menu of sno-ball flavors, as well as a short menu of food items such as wings, hamburgers, fries and nachos. I ordered wings and fries, as well as a strawberry cheesecake sno-ball. I enjoyed the wings which weren't breaded but were crispy nevertheless, but I loved my fries. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside just the way I like them. Unfortunately, I had eaten my wings and fries before I remembered to take a photo. The star of the snack was the strawberry cheesecake sno-ball. It was sweet, but not too sweet and delicious down to the end. Danielle's is located facing onto St. Claude in a small building, with a couple of steps from not the porch to order and pickup your selections. This is where you'll be greeted by Danielle. Parking is on the street, on either side of St. Claude or the adjacent street. There was a picnic table with an umbrella, but it was too hot to partake. I am super happy to find Danielle's so close to where we are staying. We will definitely return!
