Tasty! My complex invited them to visit, and I had a kiddie size snow cone for $3. It sounds like the price is a bit more than it use to be, but it is to be expected with COVID. They wore gloves, and everything was done pretty neatly. I had half cherry and half punch flavored. I wish they had an ice cream option to add to the snow cone; I heard that they typically do at their shop. Refreshing, tasty, and cute. A perfect treat for a leisurely day outside!
Super cute place! You won't miss it because of the colorful exterior. First time going here but probably won't be the last- we may give this another shot. My partner LOVES snow cones so he was totally all for it and this place was "okay" for him. He wasn't too impressed with the service. I like the stuffed option (they put vanilla ice cream scoop inside all the ice)! I got the red velvet cake and cheesecake SnoBalls and it was honestly awesome to have during these hot days we've been having. I do recommend the stuffed option if you like ice cream too! Service wasn't up to par. I didn't see anyone wearing gloves (or I don't even know if they were suppose to tbh). But I would think that since they're scooping ice...that they should. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great- that's all. Other than that, the menu has a lot of options I would like to try out next time!
What's good after a 2 mile walk in 90 degree heat on the ATT while working up a sweat? Probably a beer, tub full of ice, Antarctica, the North Pole, or ice cream. But nah. PELICAN SNOBALLZ What's good: -Tropical sunset with flavors mango, guava, and pineapple -Island punch with Piña colada, Georgia peach, and tropical punch (like fruit punch similar to the Hawaiian Punch brand) Grabbed 2 sizes: regular and large. I'd have to say that no matter what size, it'll inevitably melt into slush, but faster in 90 degree heat Bottom line: great after a walk on the trail to cool off and chill
Got a gone fishing kiddie size and a regular stuffed wild strawberry and coconut. Kiddie sized for me was just right since they're so sweet. But I can see a regular would be nice and refreshing during this crazy summer heat. We got some pelican bucks so we'll definitely be back! They have a card that you can use to track all the flavors you've tried, only 95 more to go!
I've been going to Pelicans for at least six years. Pelicans is a cute fun place to go on a date night or for a fun family outing. There are colorful painted picnic tables to sit down and enjoy your treat. They even have corn hole for those who want to play. Their flavor list long with a vast range of flavors. My personal favorite is strawberry shortcake. It's super sweet so if you like sweet then give strawberry shortcake a try. I saw that a previous review showed a menu with the price of a kiddie to be a $1.50. However, the price has increased and a kiddie size is now $2. The kiddie size is honestly more than enough, all their other sizes are so big that they turn into slush before you can finish them. So my recommendation is to start with the small size. Durham has two locations. What I like about this location is that there a drive through. The drive through is on both sides which helps control the traffic level. A dislike about this location is that the parking lot is small and the line can easily spill into the street. Other than those two small observations, I do not have anymore complaints. Pelicans is the perfect place for a cheap sweet treat!
I find it hard to imagine this is a chain. Granted, we came around closing time in the evening (when the temperature was dropping), but service was exceptionally slow. There were a number of people both waiting at the walk up window and the drive through, so we had time to read through the extensive and hilarious menu. Honestly, so many of the descriptions were super fun to read. Decided on a kiddie sized stuffed snowball, which consists of flavored shaved ice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the middle. The shaved ice was very fluffy, and there was definitely enough syrup to cover everything. Unfortunately, I went for the over sweet flavors (nectar, cherry), and it was a sucrose bomb. Portion size wise, even the kiddie size was too much. Perhaps Pelican's is better at a different time of day, but it wasn't what I was looking for as a dessert.

I love pelicans anywhere I go... the flavors are so good and service is fast and I love that it is a drive thru. read more
Yummy!! I've only tried this a couple times but I love them!! I thought they were ordinary snow cones but noooo these snowballs are so soft and light like actual snow!! And just way too many flavors for an indecisive person like me!! Haha!! Prices are decent and whenever they are open there is always a line. They have their own mixed flavored SnoBalls that they name to make it easier to order. It took me awhile to decide on what flavors but I settled on Georgia peach, pina colada and red apple. And let me tell you, they taste just like what you expect, the real thing! The lines are well worth the wait! read more

Man, I love Pelican's SnoBalls. I passed this place everyday for about 2 years to and from work. It never occurred to me to try until I saw a huge line posted up one evening after work. I tried it at the beginning of March, now I eat it about 3 times a week. So many flavors to choose from and if you want to spice it up with topping you have the option. I recommend to anyone even if they don't necessarily think they'll like it. read more

Great place to go on a hot summer day. The flavor options are endless and they are super dog friendly. I got a strawberry lemonade snoball and a doggie snoball (chicken broth flavored) for my dog. I have also tried cherry cola and it was fantastic. I would probably eat this stuff plain- the ice is the PERFECT consistency. The staff is always nice and it's great that they have a drive thru as well. Can't wait to try out more flavors. read more
