Love Sugar Shack! It's a small cute pink shack. I've been going there for years and the ice is…read morevery soft and smooth. Customer service is always good. They offer a lot of different flavors, as well as, some other snacks. Some of my favorite snowball flavors from them are the pink lemonade, wedding cake (cream flavor), and pralines &cream (cream flavor). On my last visit I ordered the pralines &cream and my mom ordered half strawberry half lemon lime. We both got smalls and it was enough for me. Usually they put whatever size snowball you get in a larger cup so there is less of a mess when you try to eat it which I appreciate. They are a cash only stand so make sure you have cash before you drive to Meraux. There isn't any seating, but I feel like that's the case for most snowball stands. Would definitely recommend it if you are looking for soft ice.

Cute Snowball stand in the parish that offers a lot of different treats. In addition to snowballs,…read morethey have soft serve ice cream, dippin dots, regular ice cream, milkshakes, nachos, fruit cups, popsicles, elote, and different flavors of fresh lemonade. I've been about 3 times and the staff members have always been nice. The first time I went I ordered a cotton candy snowball, but was surprised to see it was red once I received it. Usually cotton candy is pink or blue, and if I would've known it was red I wouldn't have ordered it. I'm not a fan of red snowballs or just liquids with red dyes and it upset my stomach. I will say the ice was soft and it did not deter me from giving them another try. The second time I went I had dippin dots and my uncle had the soft serve ice cream which we both enjoyed. My most recent visit I got a small pineapple snowball and my mom ordered the strawberry cheesecake ice cream. We sat inside and enjoyed our treats. They also have outdoor seating at this location which is nice. I'd say it's worth a try.

Royal Roastery is a bit of a mixed bag. They've got some savory nut options- I tried the barbecue…read morecashews. They were fine. They also carry some gummy and chocolate varieties, some spices, some boxed coffee, some Middle Eastern pastries. Only some things were labeled with either what it was or the price of it, so that was a little disorienting. I was surprised to find a cafe and gelato bar inside. The gelato flavors were incredible. I settled on popcorn caramel and baklava in a waffle bowl. An employee said that everything was made in-house. The price was standard considering that all was made there. The service was weird. I kept getting served after people who'd gotten there after me. My ice cream scoops were significantly smaller than my boyfriend's. Returning isn't high on my list of priorities, but I'm glad I tried them.

This unassuming spot in a strip mall was gorgeous inside. And it serves coffee, pastries, ice cream plus y'know candy. AND they roast their own nuts, spices and I guess coffee beans. There were definitely folks hanging out and enjoying a Turkish style coffee... I guess either the caffeine doesn't hit them the way it does me or they had no plans to sleep. The candy isn't labeled 100% correctly but you kind of know that gummy worms are not gummy strawberries. I tried an assortment bag of gummies and some of chocolates and the price was by the pound. Re got some freshly roasted unsalted cashews and they were delicious! Parking is easy in the strip mall lot. And as you step in you definitely leave Louisiana and step into another country.

My wife and I were in town for a business meeting and decided to stop at an old favorite. We hadn't…read morebeen to CC in about 13 years, but we remember how good it had been in the past and wanted to sneak in a visit while we had a chance. We were not disappointed! We ended up at the Metairie location, which ended up being very convenient since there is substantial parking right out front, which is rare in N.O. It's in a modern shopping center but still has that quaint feel of the original location. The staff immediately greeted us when we came through the door and were very attentive and knowledgeable. We were there just before the after school rush and timed everything perfectly. I was planning to get a different flavor this time, but I ended up with my old standby, Red Velvet. This stuff is so good it's illegal in 49 states. It's subtle and perfectly understated by the chunks of cake mixed throughout. It's what keeps me coming back. My wife got a scoop each of the Peanut Butter Cup and the Cookie Monster. Both were absolutely delicious, as I can personally attest since I stole a bite of both. All in all, I can't wait to go back. It was every bit as good as I remembered. Do yourself a favor and check them out.

Dairy Dip is another newly discovered gem that I have passed so many times over so many years yet…read morehave never stopped until Friday 25 SEP 2020. My family and I had just experienced a not so enjoyable dinner "up the road" in Belle Chasse and were feeling a little melancholy. Instead of turning around and heading back to New Orleans, we decided to drive south on Hwy. 23 for a ways. Like a beacon in a storm, we saw the sign for Dairy Dip and I knew that ice cream would have us all feeling better. This place has been a Belle Chasse staple for 50-60 years, and it screams nostalgia. And everyone who knows me knows I love nostalgic businesses. Although it doesn't appear spectacular from the outside, I hear the food they serve is top notch. This little roadside gem serves all kinds of classic foods like burgers, hot dogs, corn dogs, po-boys, nachos, malts, shakes, ice cream, sno-balls etc. It's all walk up counter service here where you pay and "eat outside, or in your car (if the times you are in are unprecedented)." (This last sentence borrowed from Yelper Marielle S.) As we had already eaten, we got dessert. I wish we hadn't eaten because I think we would have enjoyed Dairy Dip more than the restaurant we had just patronized, but I digress. My son got a regular vanilla cone, I opted for the classic dipped cone and my wife got the dipped cone with peanuts. The ice cream here is delicious and served at the perfect consistency and temperature. Simply stated, it was delicious. Next time, we're going to order burgers and onion rings and make it a meal. Of course we are going to leave room for dessert.

A couple of years ago, I had the pleasure of visiting New Orleans. While I was there, I…read moreexperienced some of the best ice cream I have ever had (Creole Creamery). Fast forward a few years, I am browsing an ice cream blog (theicecreaminformant.com), and come across a brand of ice cream called New Orleans Ice Cream Company. I had never heard of them before but their flavors seemed unique and I start craving a few of them. I was lucky enough to get my hands on some of it (Thank you, Adrian!) and started making my way through their flavors. New Orleans Ice Cream Company makes between16-20 different flavors of ice cream at any given time (They have some seasonal flavors). They stay local and make distinct New Orleans inspred flavors. Some of their flavors include, Cafe Au Lait & Beignets (Fantastic btw!), Coffee & Chicory, Creole Cream Cheese (Their most popular flavor), Ponchatoula Strawberry, Mardi Gras Pie, Praline Crunch etc. These ice cream pints are super premium ice creams which contain tons of flavor, great texture and the freshest ingredients they can get their hands on. It's not available in stores out here in AZ, yet, but if you want to get your hands on some of it, you can pick it up at icecreamsource.com. If you are an ice cream lover, you owe it to yourself to get a couple of pints. If you need a few suggestions, I would highly recommend the Cafe Au Lait & Beignets (Great coffee flavor, chewy donut pieces) , the Praline Crunch (Butter pecan tasting ice cream with candied pralines throughout) and the Baked Alaska (The owners favorite flavor which is packed with these crunchy meringue bits that are out of this world!). Any pint you choose, should be good. These guys are cranking out some of the best ice cream out there! I can't wait to make my way through the other pints that are sitting in my freezer. I have been extremely impressed so far and every pint I have tried, has been flat out delicious!

New Orleans Ice Cream Company has some pretty nifty local themed and often sourced flavors of…read morepremium ice cream. This brand can be a bit of a challenge to find and so far I have only seen it at local groceries like Rouse's, Zara's, Langenstein's, Dorignac's, Breaux Mart, Fresh Market, Winn-Dixie and Whole Foods. Their Po Boy Ice Cream sandwich is probably the finest ice cream sandwich I have ever had and I believe Parkway Bakery offers those also. I first tried their ice cream at a Yelp event and I have been a fan ever since. This stuff has to be really good to occasionally break me away from my normal Creole Creamery and Angelo Brocato's addiction.

Sometimes there is a long line because it is directly across the street from the Chalmette High School baseball and softball fields, but they work pretty quickly to get everyone served.

They make most if not all of there own syrups and have a large variety to choose from. There ice was pretty good, i like mine a little finer but still pretty good. It had a great flavor and my wife loved hers. I heard they make a good Chocolate snowball. I would recommend them when your in Chalmette i would have given 5 stars but the lack of Small sized cups and parking can be an issue if there is a game or event going on.
