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!!

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.

Stopped in for a snoball, as my regular snoball stop was closed for the day and lo and behold as I'm driving down the street, I SPIED, you know the game I SPY, well, I SPIED Downtown 504 Snoballs. I made a beeline and turned to partake of the syrupy goodness. Good thing I stopped as soon as I did, because shortly after arriving, they began their daily 'shut down' procedures. Anywho... So many flavor choices to choose from, what's a girl to do? So, I took my time, surveyed the selections and picked the most interesting combination... stuffed (with ice cream) STRAWBERRY + MANGO; two of my favessssssssss. The snoball was so juicy and tasty and thirst-quenching until, I had to savor the greatness before pulling off. I mean, scoop after scoop rendered a great juice & ice combination. I tried to stir to mix the ice cream and syrup, but the mouthwatering that was going on was too much to contain. So I began eating and slurping, don't judge me, and eating and slurping; until I looked up and nearly half of it was gone and I was still sitting in front the snoball stand. I plan to return to try the other snoball flavors and menu items. I like that the owner, employs school aged youth. This is a great way to teach them the value of entrepreneurships, supply and demand, the importance of customer service and help to bone up on their math skills. Yay, yay, yay!!!

The staff were kind and probably one of my favorite things about this place is that there are so many ways to customize your own snoball! there are so many flavors and I cannot recommend this place enough

You order at one window and they give you your snowball at another window. We only had two people ahead of us and there was still a bit of a wait to get our snowballs. I got the pink bubblegum. There wasn't a lot of "juice" in it at all and I think you can even tell in my picture that the ice wasn't really soaked. The flavor was weird and tasted like medicine with a weird aftertaste. David tasted mine and he said the same thing. They do have a wide selection of hamburgers and poboys, if you aren't in the mood for a snowball, but you want to munch on something. I probably won't be back.
