Drove out of my way to visit this place today. When I got there, the sign said open, but waiting for about 5 minutes and knocking on the window, no one ever showed up. Guess they don't like customers. read more

Sugar "Free" Snowballs are NOT sugar free. My Type 1 diabetic grandson and I got 'sugar free' snowballs. Within 5 minutes his Dexcom alarmed saying he was 300 and rising very fast (two arrows up). Had he not been wearing a Dexcom he could have been in a coma before we realized what he had consumed. A few days later I went alone and bought 3 sugar free snowballs. I tested each one on a glucometer. One registered HI (over 600), the 2nd was 437, and the 3rd was 547!! That is NOT minimal sugar. I contacted the manager, and someone named Adam Aldridge emailed me back, defending their use of Sucralose and obviously pleased with their "sugar free" option. In spite of what physically happened to my grandson's blood sugar after just a few sips of their "sugar free" drink and the evidence I sent them of the results of their drinks on the glucometer they were unwilling to fix the problem. Their "sugar free" drinks are dangerous for any diabetic, and worthless for any dieter. read more

It was ok. Ice had a funny aftertaste and the syrups I could hardly taste. Not worth it. read more

This place was pretty decent overall, but I probably won't be back. I'm not a huge shaved ice fan and this was not enough to make me want more. There was a huge crowd when I went, and very little shade. It's also right next to the road so it can be noisy and a little dirty. That's not a deal-breaker but it's worth noting. However they do have some seating outside and they have games for families. The ice is nice and delicate and melts the second it hits your tongue. There's no large grainy chunks like some shaved ice places. You can also get two flavors in any cup at no charge and there are lots of sizes to choose from, as well as additional toppings and cream and things like that. I chose to do half Margarita and half passion fruit flavor. The flavors were kind of reminiscent of the foods, the margarita especially, but mostly they tasted the same. It's just a base of simple syrup with some vague flavor on top. So it tasted fine, but if I didn't know what those flavors were supposed to be I would never be able to identify them. I think I'll stick to ice cream or something else when I want something cold. read more

The North Shore of Oahu is famous for shaved ice. Not chunky crystals and a weak squirt of syrup .... but almost slushy ice, with rich flavors enhanced by cream and a surprise dollop of soft serve. When Pelican's recently opened I wondered ..... could this be the same? Not exactly, but they come close. With a host of flavors and good consistency, these are tasty ices, particularly when you add a squirt of cream. (If they infused soft serve, this in my opinion, would be a five star summer treat.) You can't miss the blue shack-like shop across from Kroger. Reminiscent of a beachside stand, it's nice to see kids playing in the semi-fenced-in yard, and families slurping ices in the shade of umbrellas. Check 'em out! And if you don't know what to order, ask the friendly employees for their recommendations. read more

Growing up in NOLa, Mr. Beaux would pile the neighbor kids in the bed of his pickup, and take us all down to Sunny's for Snoballs. Pelican's really brought me up. And, this isn't shaved ice, these are snoballs which require a modified machine to get the ice as fine as it is. Yes there's a difference. The flavors are spot on, all of them, and you can get them stuffed too. My only complaint would be, there is not enough syrup in them, and there weren't any straws for the best part. Fix those two things, and they'll truly be authentic! read more

Pelicans Snoballs - Butterscotch, Ga Peach, and a Hurricane Snoball! - Shaved Ice Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Nice little spot right on Canton on across from Kroger. They have a yard with picnic tables with outdoor games like giant connect 4, giant Jenga, ring toss, etc... Only major cons is the direct sun and very little shade. Only shade it at a couple tables with umbrellas. Prepare to roast on direct sun when ordering. Would be 1000x better if they installed some type of awning. I went around 6pm. Also for parents just know there are no public bathroom so prepare accordingly, and there is no fence around the yard so if you have a runner who would dart into traffic, I'd be careful. They are really close to Canton. We will definitely go back though, the games are fun and cheap way to entertain the little ones. read more

The snoballs here are pretty good. It's nice and soft. The menu is quite extensive and takes a while to read through. But they offer a lot of different flavors. The downside is the lack of indoor seating and air conditioning to keep cool on a hot summer day. If it's to keep overhead expenses down, then those savings don't seem to be passed down to the customers. Because of lack of shading, the snoballs melt pretty quickly while you're playing the different games offered on the lawn. About half way through, it gets a little sloshy and towards the bottom it turns into more of a juice-like drink than shaved ice. I think I would enjoy it more in the spring or fall. read more

My boyfriend and I just got done hiking near the Chattahoochee river when we decided to find a snowcone place near us. Luckily we came across pelican's Snoballs for some delicious shaved ice. I didn't realize the difference between snowcones and shaved ice until we got here. The shaved ice is so soft and holds a flavor very well. My boyfriend ordered banana coconut and cream , I ordered great pink lemonade and blue raspberry. We really enjoyed the friendly service and cool atmosphere. We played several games and enjoyed ourselves as we ate our delicious shaved ice. This was truly a good experience I can't wait to bring my young nephews here soon! read more

Pelicans Snoballs - The kiddos LOVE Pelicans! - Shaved Ice Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

We have driven past this Pelican snowball location for years. Today we saw about 10 kids playing games outside and decided to give it a shot. Pelicans is located right on Canton Rd in a free standing home-turned-small-business across from the Kroger shopping center. Parking is in a spacious open private lot, and you walk up to place your order on the front porch of the business. Once you make your Choice of flavors and toppings, you wait to be served. You grab your snowball and head to their private yard to find seating. Today there were four picnic tables with big umbrellas that offered shade, along 4 additional kid size picnic tables, kid sized corn hole bean bag games, an oversized 4 ft connect four game, Jenga, etc. Pelicans sort of offers a kid-version of the same outdoor social vibe as a brewery would have for adults. New friends were made, syrupy sweet snowballs were enjoyed, and it was a great way to cool off. The kids got to run and play, and I spent less than $9 for two snowballs and a water. read more

decent shaved ice place. I would recommend it the only thing is that they need to put in more favor when you get the regular and you get to the middle you can only taste ice besides that they are a good shaved ice place and I would recommend. read more

My family and I love shaved ice and have been without a place to go for a while, the last place closed without warning. Then Pelican opened up. Family friendly and fair prices with a large assortment of flavors. My favorite is the Georgia Peach. They only have outside seating, but pets are welcome. I highly recommend them. read more

Yummy tummy. The best shaved ice ever. Super friendly and since Fall doesn't seem to want to come to Atlanta this just hit the spot for this hot day. I tried Rainbow and the pineapple in it was my fave. Can't wait to return for more since i live a few miles away. Oh and they are open 2-9 this Fall so i know where I'll be for the best cool and sweet treats in these here parts. CHECK EM OUT!!! Right Across from Kroger. read more

You gots to chill and they have exactly what you need to cool off this summer. Pelican's is fun family oriented business which has over a 100 plus flavors of shaved ice it was so hard trying to pick I just told the young lady to give me whatever lol. She made the Mango Pog with whipped topping and a kiddies sized Arnold Palmer both were divine . They also allowed me to try the pineapple upside down cake one as well and it didn't let me down either. They offer outdoor games for kids or grow up kids lol. You do have to order outside no indoor service read more

Honestly one of the best Snoballs I've had in Georgia! I am originally from New Orleans, and these are definitely in my top 3 or Snoballs places! They're friendly, fast, and relatively cheap! read more

Love coming to this place! So many flavors and happy staff. Great summer and winter treat.

Ain't much to Pelican's; a small parking lot, the building where you order your delicious treat, and a open outdoor area with some benches and outdoor games. To be fair, a snoball shack doesn't need to be fancy, they just need to have good snoballs, and Pelican's does that well! From classic flavors to their own unique spin, you are sure to find something you like. The sizes are very generous, as I rarely need anything larger than the kit size. read more

I couldn't wait for this place to open. It's close and girls that were working were very friendly. Perfect place to go on a hot and humid summer day or those very warm Georgia nights! read more

Such a delicious treat on a hot day!!! So many yummy flavors to choose from, you won't be disappointed. I couldn't decide so I bought 2!

We decided to host Pelican's Snoballs for a pre-K drive thru graduation for a twist this year. We called the owner with just a few days notice and she graciously accepted to help us out with this crazy idea to give out snowballs to the children and their parents as we created a graduation assembly line. Their prices are phenomenal. The service was top notch. We asked for the standard one hour rate, which would have been perfect... if only it were not for the angry thunderstorm that popped up out of the blue 30 minutes into our event! Luckily, the storm passed quickly, but she never lost her professionalism as we all scrambled to get her set back up in a better space to finish our caravan of excited children to get their icy treat. We will definitely go back to check them out and are ecstatic that they will soon be opening a new location in the next few months... The owner said that this location will be on Roswell Road, not far from The Big Chicken. read more

The snocones are really good. Really good. When I was done I asked for some water in my cup to wash down the sugary goodness. No go. You have to buy water they won't go to the tap and put some in your cup. We'll see if I come back. Snocones were really good though. read more

Have tried 3 different flavors, none of which were very distinctive I doubt if I could have guessed the flavor in a blind taste test Also no public restrooms available read more

Wonderful snow cone place. Nice little outdoor place to play games with the kids and the snow cones taste delicious.
