New Orleans Snoballs

i woke up craving a funnel cake but didnt want to travel to an amusement park lol so yes ! up the hill to Overhill i go. Thank God im close. sooooo yummy. & no one was in there. so chill.
you gotta go :)

I love the funnel cakes. They remind me of the ones I used to get a Magic Mountain, only closer and better. If you are eating there or stay close by, get the ice cream on top. The combination of hot and cold is like a party in your mouth. The snowballs are also good. I like to get peach, pineapple, and kiwi. Not only does it taste good p\but it looks pretty too. Im here almost every week. A must try.

Great funnel cakes with out the theme park price nor lines. They have many toppings and everything is fresh made to the order!!!

I typically have an extensive review but when you’re good you’re just GOOD! Damn this place is THE BOMB .com .org .net! If you haven’t been you should just discontinue with life… PERIOD

This review is based on the service and not the product. The shop is clean, open and decorated with a New Orleans theme. Definitely a young vibe about it. There were 2 workers behind the counter and they had the music blasting, so the manager was away or these kids owned the spot. Right away the delicious aroma of funnel cake draws you in. BUT the service was lacking. Got 2 small shaved ice cups, which consisted of 3 flavors/​ice cream & condensed milk. My boyfriend got his in like 3 minutes, but i waited almost 15 mins for mine. I watched them make at least 2 other cups. but there was nobody else there but us! Are you guys making your own treats while i stand here watching you lip sing my favorite 112 song?

Literally can go here every few days!
Yummy, yummy! Alot of flavors to choose from and I have tried quite a few! Ice cream is delicious too:)

Man this place is amazing. I like the cotton candy snocone. Not to mention the funnel cake with Ice cream. Someone pray for me I can’t afford to eat that many carbs.

First time having a New Orleans style Sno Ball and it did not disappoint one bit. I had the watermelon sno ball and any thirst and heat I felt was zapped away in an instant. This is literally a few feet from York Orleans. The young staffers are friendly and helpful when it comes to getting you the right sno ball. Felt like being at the Big Easy.

This place is ran by some young people who are nice and informative. I been wanting a Nola snow since I returned from New Orleans.
They have it set up similar to the ones like in Nola. They have the ideal but the snow cones are a bit to syrupy once you get in the middle. The seem to need to mix the flavors with the cream. They do have can milk. Condensed me and the cream for the snow cone which is extra.

Well what a hot day. I am so glad there was some ice cold snowball with a billion flavors to choose from. The rasberry was pretty good!!! The small size with a soft serve add-​on (extra 75cents) with some condensed milk was like sugar overload heaven. Can’t have this kind of stuff all the time, but thank god this place exists! Only way to beat the heat. I am a fan!
Cash only.

OOOMMMMGGGGGEEEEEE! This place is AMAZING! A nice treat on a hot day in L.A. (that rhymes lol) I had a medium with strawberry, blue raspberry and tigers blood. The first taste melted in my mouth. I swear my mouth was purple the rest of the day LOL! They have a variety of flavors and sizes to choose from! They also have elephant ears and you can have ice cream on top. I will definitely be back when I am in L.A.

The only thing that I’ve ever — ever had from this place are the snowballs (some call the shaved ice — but I don’t know the difference). Although my friends tell me that all I’m doing is sucking down sugar water… I don’t care, they are so good! Besides — I think I can work off that sugar faster than I can a scoop of gelato or ice cream.
I’m a traditionalist — I don’t want ice cream — yogurt — or anything else with my snowball. Just give me the oh so sweet flavors (I typically go with orange, grape, and black cherry)…I told you I was a traditionalist.
I’ve seen their ads for gumbo, ice cream and funnel cakes — but I’m sticking to what I know. Gumbo at a Snowball store… nah…
I’ve never tasted a funnel cake from anyone… no appeal to me, but I will stick to what looks and tastes good. Hmmmmm, I wonder if they’re open now. Gotta Run — Just in Case I Can Get a Quick Snowball Fix!!!

I have been on a mission. A mission with the same intensity as a pregnant woman. I needed a spearmint flavored shaved ice/​sno-​ball. I looked far and wide, first in my town, Bakersfield. No luck. Then, I decided to scour Unilocal before our vacation to Legoland. I found nothing near Carlsbad, Oceanside, or Orange County. I found a place in Los Angeles, but after calling that day, I found out they no longer had that flavor (the pic I saw on Unilocal was 2 years old).
Then, I found another place, New Orleans Snoballs. After calling and confirming, they did, for sure, HAVE MY FLAVOR. When we arrived there was a long line, on a rather cool July day. That was a good sign in my eyes.
They offer many flavors of snoballs/​shaved ice. The ice was very fine, which I love. They were also very generous with the flavor. They also have an add on, called New Orleans Style, where they add a scoop of soft serve ice cream to your snowball. I was curious, so I tried it. It was great. You can choose to have this ice cream on the bottom, in the middle, or on top. I chose the middle. It did not melt and was a great addition to the snoball.
I would recommend this place to anyone who likes snoballs/​shaved ice. If that’s not your style, you can also get a cone of vanilla soft serve or a funnel cake.

We sought this place out on our way home from a long weekend simply because they have the flavor my husband wanted (spearmint). This is a small business with great options. They make them New Orleans style if you want too (with a scoop of vanilla ice cream)!
We each had a snoball with varying flavors. My son had bubblegum and my daughter had strawberry. The shaved ice is shaved fine and it’s almost smooth. I decided to get fuzzy navel made New Orleans style and it was delicious. Their homemade vanilla ice cream they put in it was spot on. My husband got the spearmint made New Orleans style and had his summer quest to find this flavor satisfied!
They had other items on the menu besides snoballs like funnel cakes with lots of topping options, vanilla frozen yogurt oh and you could add sweetened condensed milk to the top of your snoball too!
It was delicious and we knew it was a good find when there was a line of locals out the door!

I happened to be on Slauson after a Friday afternoon meeting just as the sun was emerging on a rainy day. It was the perfect day and time to cool off with an icy treat and to prepare for the afternoon commute.
I’d driven by NO Sno-​Balls before and wondered how they were different from the typical snow cone. The ice cream inside distinguishes it, but it reminded me of the great Hawaiian shave ice places on Oahu or Brian’s shave ice on Sawtelle.
With very finely crushed ice, I got tiger’s blood, fruit punch, and Hawaiian flavors in a small cup ($ 3.75 w/​tax). I really couldn’t distinguish those flavors in the finished product. But, I really didn’t care. They are heavy-​handed with the syrup, which created a sweet, drippy, cold mess. And I loved it!
They also offer freshly made funnel cakes and gumbo on the weekend. Parking is challenging in the small lot and service is not speedy. But, it’s a great treat if you’re in the area.

More of a 3.5 star review.
Great funnel cakes (wish they had fresh strawberries though).
Good, but overpriced gumbo due to the little meat and fish and mostly rice and broth I received.
Still, I will definitely come back when I am in the mood for a funnel cake and don’t want to go all the way to a theme park to have one.

I have to say their funnel cakes are just simply the best. I have to give 5 stars for quality and price. I haven’t tried their snow cones yet. I will probably only stick to the funnel because the portion is generous and it’s shareable.

I had a sweet tooth and had to try this place after a few of my Unilocal friends mentioned it being really good. The locations isnt the best cause its in a lot with other popular businesses so the parking can be terrible.
I went for the funnel cake, im a big funnel cake fan and my daughter got the snow cone with strawberry and raspberry flavors. The funnel cake was a nice big size and good enough for 2 people to share. It was very fresh and very tasty. The snow cone was good but it had wayyyyyyy to much flavoring on it. My daughter even said It was toooooo sweet. I hate when places get stingy with the flavoring but this place went overboard. lol It wasnt terrible but i’ll just tell them when to stop pouring next time.
Overall i would return, There are so many different flavors to try how could you not go back!

New orleans snow balls are delightful. I’m from Louisiana and these are pretty authentic. I like mine New orleans style = ice cream in the bottom.
Big flavor selection. I like grape, bubble gum, strawberry, Kiwi, cotton candy, tiger blood, hurricane, everything, root beer, mint, strawberry cheesecake, strawberry daiquiri, Piña colada, and cotton candy.
A must have on a hot day.

New Orleans Snoballs is 3.5-star proof that Ice Dreams do come true in the Bayou … thanks to fluffy & light Shaved Ice with sweeter-​than-​sweet Syrups and Old-​fashioned Soft Serve. This isn’t an old-​school Sno-​Cone or Hawaiian Shave Ice. It’s Nawlins-​style Shave Ice with Vanilla Ice Cream in the middle ($ 0.75 extra).
With over 40 flavors of syrups available, good luck choosing just three for your own Icesterpiece. The line was long, so, I had plenty of time to mix ‘n match flavors in my mind before settling on a Medium ($ 4) Blue Raspberry, Dreamsicle, and Mardis Gras King Cake.
My biggest advice is to ask the Ice Masters behind the counter to go light on the syrup because it was soooo syrupy and sweet. I quickly dug down to the Vanilla Ice Cream and let the flavors mingle. Of course, the perfect Snoball (or Snowball) should be 72.2% Shaved Ice, 15.2% Soft Serve Ice Cream, and 12.4% Flavored-​Syrup, of which 4.2% is Fruity.
In addition, to Snoballs, Funnel Cakes are available for $ 6 with optional Ice Cream or Strawberries add-​ons for a $ 1 extra. I got a 3-​star regular Funnel Cake generously-​dusted with Powdered Sugar. I know, I know … I didn’t need all those extra calories and sugar. Just let me destroy the insulin-​producing beta cells in my pancreas in peace, will ya?
