    Ice cream and chocolate stuffed with swirl + condensed milk on top
    Jessica T.

    I cannot believe I've only recently discovered Shake Shack. Apparently, I've been missing out! I accidentally found this place near our new subdivision. Major bonus points to them for being open 7 days a week until 7 PM (unless it's storming). It's hard to find a snowball stand open on a Sunday! It's also hard to find a snowball stand with as many offerings as Sweet Shack. I love that they have chocolate, vanilla and swirl soft serve because I always stuff my snowballs with the swirl combination when it's available! This is also one of the cheapest snowball stands I've ever come across. A small size will run a few dollars but the portion seems more like a large size to me. Thanks for being there for me throughout many cravings, Sweet Shack!

    Loved the ice. It was nice and soft, melts in your mouth and NOT crunchy. Good flavors..not overly sweet (which is a good thing in our opinion). The entire family loved their snowballs.

    Most flavors I've ever seen

    Hands down the best snowballs on the Westbank. This place consistently has the best flavors, prices and friendliest employees. I can't comment on any of the food (standard concession stand candy and nachos etc) but this is the ONLY snowball stand I've gone to for years and the DRIVE THRU has a lot to do with that! Keep it up y'all!

    Bubblegum!

    I'm always on the hunt for cool things on the Westbank and I finally tracked down this cool snowball stand. They have all the usual snowball flavors. I got my usual, bubblegum. I know. I am super predictable and boring but I like what I like. Besides snowballs, this place also has hot dogs and other non sweet treats, making it a great place to bring kids if you want to get them out of the house. My favorite part of the whole operation is probably the fact that it has a drive thru. Super convenient on hot days when you don't want to leave the comfort of the car's air conditioning.

    What what?! A drive thru snowball shack?! I'm in love... Oh me geeeeee! I always get the same thing, creature of habit, I get a dreamsicle with condensed milk and it was sooooo good. I will admit, I'm lazy and hate being hot so having a drive thru where I don't have to wait in the heat is a major plus for me... This is my new snowball spot for sure! I'll drive the extra distance to not have to wait in this awful Louisiana summer heat ;)

    Soupy snowball

    Absolutely awful experience. Ordered a snowball and was given a completely melted cup of liquid. Never going back.

    The most convenient thing about this place, besides being right behind my house, is they have a drive thru.

    I was wondering around the WB with Re and she suggested we go "to the candy store." I was confused…read morebecause it was already after 8pm and what would be open? Royal Roastery that's who! 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.

    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.

    Tutti frutti has always been such a nostalgic place for my cousins and I! We usually like coming…read morehere for a sweet treat after dinner or just to catch up. We went in pretty late (around 8pm) and were pretty disappointed. Half of the flavors that we were excited to get (Cheesecake, strawberry, cookies and cream, tart, etc) were all slightly runny :/. Some toppings were clumpy, so we couldn't add it properly in our bowl. The bathroom is disgusting, where water was running from under the toilet, causing the floor to be wet. The service was okay - we did want to try to sample some flavors but there was only 1 employee and she was busy at the cashier. The toppings are slightly flavorless.

Line for toppings was slow going but that's to be expected when you have kids making decisions. I went for a little squeeze of this yogurt and that yogurt. I ended up with coconut, pineapple, banana, mango and pomegranate. No toppings. I love that the price is by weight, because that felt fair. I think mine was around $6. The cashier was rocking it by herself, getting everyone through without looking stressed. The store itself needed to be cleaned: tables were dirty, the toppings were everywhere and the yogurt catch trays needed cleaning - even the garbage outside needed to be dumped and the outside tables had trash around them. I went because my cousin wanted to go, but I didn't feel comfortable with the sanitation. I'll try it again sometime during a weekday to see if it's any better.

We found Lucy Boone online, and hopped over since the reviews and photos looked good. Well, don't believe everything that you see online! The ice cream here really isn't very good, and our main complaint about it is that it's just not creamy. It has more of the consistency of a watery/diluted supermarket brand, and the flavors themselves aren't impressive either. Not trying to be mean--just being honest! Two of us shared their sampler, and we do have to say that we appreciated that as an option! The king cake was pure cinnamon, but the peanut butter nuddy buddy was really good--we'd say that was the best one of them all. The salted butter caramel was ho hum and the fourth flavor was so ho hum that we can't even remember what it was. Maybe nutella brownie?? Our daughter had the caramel in a cone and she said it was very small :( Oh, almost forgot to mention that on a holiday weekend, they had ONE person working, who was very sweet and clearly trying to do all the things. Needless to say, the place was pretty dirty and the (fake) marble tables weren't clean. The space is also kind of small and it doesn't seem like they've made the best use of it. While this place may look and advertise itself like an upscale hipster ice cream, it just does not deliver. We personally wouldn't recommend Lucy Boone, but it's not like you'll have a "bad" experience. It's just not worth it.
