The Frigid Zone Sno Balls

best snowball on the west bank
work on a car lot and this is the best way to cool off in the summer

Slow service, employees spent more time chatting and playing on phones than making snoballs.
Decent snoballs. On my way home but unless there is no line I will likely not stop again.

(9÷1÷2013) This place was talked up so much that I HAD to give it a try.
Definitely lived up to the talk, but one bit of advice for the owner — PLEASE sharpen your sno-​ball blades. Some of the ice was cotton candy/​snow soft, but more than half of it was like icicle slices

Just had a snow ball from here an hour ago…
We passed by Hansen’s first and the line was too long. I’ve passed this place so many times, and it just seemed like one of those Kona Ice truck deals (hard chunks of ice with nasty sweet generic tasting syrup). However, to my surprise, it’s wasn’t! It was pretty good for a snowball stand!
There’s a pretty extensive list of flavors. There are cream flavors too, and some new flavors recently added including Zephyr, latte, margarita, and a couple others.
My son got an orange stuffed with vanilla ice cream topped with condensed milk. My sister got a strawberry cream stuffed with vanilla ice cream topped with condensed milk. I got a wedding cake cream flavor stuffed with vanilla ice cream.
The vanilla ice cream that they stuff isn’t the thick cream vanilla blue bell ice cream though, like many other snow ball places. It’s the soft serve ice cream type, which is softer. Not bad.
I wouldn’t mind coming back here if i got a craving. They do have my Hansen’s favorite flavor, nectar cream. Maybe I’ll add to my review if I stop by and try it and will write about a comparison…

I drive by this little snoball stand quite frequently, but never visited until this past weekend. My munchkin was having photos taken at her dance studio’s Harvey location, which is very close to Frigid Zone. To bribe my reluctant 2 year old to smile, we decided the first snoball of the season would be a good idea.
I had no idea they offered such an extensive list of flavors! The Cold Zone in Marrero is usually my westbank snoball stand of choice, primarily due to the proximity to my house. However, I prefer the cream flavors, which Cold Zone suffers in selection. Frigid Zone has a huge list of creams, including my all-​time favorite, orchid vanilla cream.
The prices are on par with other snoball stands. Don’t expect Hansen’s Sno-​Bliz super-​fine ice, but they make a good snoball, and you don’t have to wait 30+ minutes for your treat in the heat. If you live on the Westbank, or just happen to find yourself in Harvey and craving a snoball, this is a great option.
They have other items for sale as well, including soft-​serve ice cream, sundaes, hot dogs, nachos, etc. I didn’t try any of this, but I may get my snoball stuffed next time. Not only do they have vanilla, but also chocolate (and swirl). I’m thinking a strawberry cream flavored snoball stuffed with chocolate… mmm.
Oh, and probably the BEST part, for anyone with kids: They have CLEAR flavors! There are probably 5 – 6 of them on the menu (I will take a photo sometime soon). While they will still result in a sticky mess if spilled, they won’t stain clothing. This is the best idea ever, in my opinion. My munchkin loved the clear strawberry.
