Got the pandan and Thai iced tea flavors with condensed milk - soooo good. It tasted just like the…read morereal thing (ok maybe the pandan flavor was a little muted). But I think they used real Thai iced tea leaves to make it cuz there were little flakes that none of the other flavors had. My bf got satsuma and passion fruit. That was so tropical and citrus-y yum. And then I tried his sister's strawberry shortcake which tasted like the strawberry shortcake ice cream - delicious. The watermelon flavor also tasted just like watermelon. I loved how all the flavors didn't taste artificial at all. There's a line but it went pretty fast. You can see a lot of the photos inside from the 1950s to now - felt very old school.

Hansen's is a good, solid choice if you are looking for a sno-ball. They have been around for 86…read moreyears!! I like how they employ "the kids". Nostalgic to see, hard working summer jobs. You can not go to New Orleans without trying Hansens at least once. If you are local, its a really nice place to visit the evening of a hot day. I have tried the root beer, chocolate, cream of coconut, strawberry and spearmint. All have been tasty. For about $8-10 you can get a snow ball with a pineapple and cherry. For about $12-13 you can get marshmallow on top and I highly recommend this for the experience. Its typically a longer line but its part of the experience. When you go inside, its like a blast from the past. You are gonna have syrup all over the souvenir cup and all. They have many choices to choose from.

It's been a long time since I've been here so I was excited for my recent visit. The service was…read morequick but the prices were surprisingly high for two small snowballs- 1 with an ice cream add-on was $9- seems a bit high in my opinion. I understand the economy is rough but is the price of ice really that much higher? Additionally, the flavoring was a bit stale. I hate that I don't have a rave review as this place is so nostalgic for me. I had a pineapple with pina colada and soft serve.

We both ordered different versions of the Shaved ice. I ordered a medium shaved ice with three flavors (tigers blood, blue raspberry and wild cherry) and I opted for ice cream in the middle.

They also offer other food options such as hot dogs, fries, etc. There was also positive spiritual quotes on the artwork. I definitely felt better when I left. Friendly service and my icee!!

The texture is unmatched too... truly the best soft ice in New Orleans. Located in Mid-City on Carrollton Ave, this spot is a neighborhood favorite. They also serve food and snacks, which makes it even better for a quick stop. Service is good just be ready for long lines. If you haven't tried them yet, it's a MUST. One of the best places to visit in NOLA during sno-ball season!

I stopped by pandora's snowballs on a saturday afternoon and it was pretty busy. Despite the long line, we actually were served pretty quickly. And our snowball was made pretty fast as well. The food was pretty good! It was very sugary, but that's kinda what you come for :) the ice was really good & the cream was also yummy. It was a nice balance. I also thought the flavors of ice were nice and potent. We got a stuffed snowball with vanilla cream & half mango + half strawberry cheesecake. We also got the sour spray on the mango half. I'd recommend getting some more toppings, it would definitely make it more delicious I was a little disappointed that there was no seating or tables to eat at. Had to eat and walk at the same time.. or if there were tables we couldn't find them. But overall a good experience

Congested with wandering tourists, most of the vendors sell items that could be found at any flea market in the country. A lot of the souvenirs and clothing fell way short in reflecting authentic New Orleans craftsmanship. I was hoping for a market more along the lines of Barcelona's La Boqueria with bounties of fresh produce and appetizing edibles, but there was just a row of fast food kiosks beyond the beignets at Cafe du Monde. Without a doubt, the highlight of the market was the strolling groups of musicians randomly playing jazz to enraptured tourists. RELATED - Exploring New Orleans?
