50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Gretna

“These are wonderful! I am so glad I saw them at the Algiers bonfire. The ladies were great with their recommendations and all the toppings. I'm a little concerned that the store is so close, on the Westbank. It looks like there are a lot more options to try. This is going to be a problem :)“

“Love the pistachio ice creme and cannolis!!! Great atmosphere and ambiance.“

“Great food, awesome service, kind and courteous owners. If you’re looking for something good to eat please stop by here you won’t regret“

“This is a fantastic little independent coffee shop. The place is bright and clean, well decorated, and the owner works here. Every customer gets a personal greeting and a genuine smile. It has a drive-thru and there’s plenty of seating, some soft chairs and several tables, one perfectly suited for a group, with many outlets in the center for tech. I ordered a latte that is perfect, not all foam like I get from chains. The chocolate croissant reminded me of pastries I’ve had in Europe - buttery but not greasy, with high-quality dark chocolate that wasn’t ruined by lots of refined sugar. If I could give six stars for atmosphere, they would get six stars. The Baristas here know their products to the smallest detail; you can tell from the way they you questions about your order. They laugh and joke with customers but not at the expense of their work. They laugh WHILE working, not INSTEAD of working. If there was an Academy Awards for small businesses, this one would take the gold.“

“Love the creamy of it. I recommend banana split not anything you use to. Very different. All fresh and you can chose any flavor ice cream and fresh toppings. Very very Goo“

“Best hotdogs. Great service“

“What the heck, had no idea this place existed. It’s phenomenal! The Summer Nights gelato was too good! Even as I entered the shop and the Italian music was playing ? it literally makes you feel like you’re on vacation. Do yourself a favor and go.“

“Long time traditional stand with all the latest snowball options. Plenty of parking, large covered area where lines form, easy access. Very reasonably priced and even long lines move quickly.

Parking: She’ll surface, large area, easy access.“

“Soooo good. I ordered an item with a warm brownie, hot fudge, a scoop of ice cream of choice, whipped cream, sprinkles, and cherry on top. So yummy. I would recommend and will be a repeat customer. It is a little confusing to get inside of the business. You have to enter in a main entrance of a building that looks like a real estate office and then walk left to enter the creamery. Clean place. Restrooms are available at the end of the hall of the main building. Handicapped parking and ramp. I didn't see a button for wheelchair door.“

“Service was outstanding! I appreciated the time spent helping me narrow down my macaron choices. T he almond brittle ice cream was delicious & so were my macaron ice cream sandwiches. Bonus points for the ice cream sandwiches that didn’t melt while eating despite the heat. It allowed me to savor the moment. I would recommend & will be retuning.“

“I figured this place was gonna be good considering how quickly they sell out, but I wasn’t expecting it to be the best ice cream I’ve ever tasted. Got the Toffee Cookies N’ Cream Cheesecake and I was seriously blown away with how delicious it is. 10/10 recommend!“

“Skye and team had us dancing and laughing! The atmosphere was paramount, and we can't wait to come back! The food may have been bested by the party-time music we were enjoying, but it isnt anything to be slept on!! Get down here and win some Jenga for yourself! 10/10!!“

10/10 recommend!“

“In the heart of New Orleans' throbbing Central City, a gem is hidden in plain sight: Red Rooster Snowballs. This place started small, a modest pit stop dubbed "Little Red Rooster" back in the firecracker summer of '77. Under the watchful eyes of "Ms. Lynn," it's morphed from just another seasonal joint into a full-blown, year-round sanctuary of flavor, standing defiant against the monotony of the typical New Orleans tourist traps.This isn't just about snowballs. Sure, they sling them with the best—try the banana snow cone drenched in condensed milk. It's like mainlining banana cream pie straight into your taste buds, minus the unnecessary fluff of crust. But this place is a microcosm of the city itself. The menu reads like a roll call of every New Orleans staple: po' boys stuffed to the gills, seafood that practically swims onto your plate, pralines so sweet they’ll make your teeth sing, and sandwiches that do the Muffuletta tradition proud.Ordering here is a breeze—no fuss, no muss, just pure efficiency with a side of Southern charm. There’s a window for shouting your desires into and another where those desires come to life, handed over in styrofoam and paper, steaming hot or blissfully cold.And if you can grab the lone picnic table out front, do it. It's the best seat in the house for soaking up the local color, watching the life of the neighborhood unfold as you dig in.Red Rooster is more than a mere eatery; it's a testament to New Orleans' spirit. It's where the locals go to escape the predictable and dive headfirst into the real, unvarnished culture of this city. Here, amidst the clatter and clamor of Central City, you're not just feeding on good food; you're absorbing history, community, and the kind of authenticity that can’t be fabricated. This place is a slice of life, a slice of New Orleans, and damn, does it taste good.“

“This is by far the best Snowball stand in the world. Just saying! The ice , the flavors are amazing. But I had a bad experience. I always order a medium sized snowball in a large cup. All of you experienced snowball experts understand my reasoning for doing this. So that I can drive without the drizzle of syrup running down my shirt. Well, I asked for the large cup and the cashier didn’t acknowledge that she did hear what I asked. So I repeated it. She then responded quite rudely. Saying that she did hear what I asked. Well of course when my number was called to get my treat it was in a medium cup. I asked about the large cup and was told that it wasn’t on the receipt. I was then told that they could not transfer my treat because of the condense milk. With all this trouble … I can’t wait to get off of work to go back..?“

“Delicious snowballs with perfect ice!“

“I actually buy almost daily year-rounds went open, far over 15 years before and after Hurricane Katrina, it's staff is 100% professional you always that I know of from my experience, once you go there you'll probably be another daily customer.“

“Unique flavors and amazing taste!“

“Best ice cream in Baton Rouge, absolutely recommend“

“My experience at Popbar in the heart of New Orleans was a delightful foray into the world of artisanal frozen treats. This quaint establishment offers an array of popsicles with a twist – you can choose from sorbet, yogurt, or gelato bases and then personalize them with various chocolate coatings and a plethora of toppings.I decided to try the strawberry sorbetto popsicle, aiming for a refreshing and fruity treat. To add a dash of indulgence, I coated it in dark mint chocolate and topped it off with graham cookies. The strawberry sorbetto was a standout, offering a burst of fresh, tangy strawberry flavor that was both refreshing and satisfying. It was a perfect antidote to the New Orleans heat.However, the dark mint chocolate didn't quite hit the mark. While its texture was rich and complemented the sorbetto well, it lacked the minty punch I was anticipating. This was a minor disappointment in an otherwise delightful treat.The addition of graham cookies was a masterstroke, providing a crunchy contrast to the smooth sorbetto and chocolate. This mix-and-match approach to building your popsicle is what makes Popbar a unique and engaging experience.Aside from their signature popsicles, Popbar also offers other menu items, but the customizable popsicles are undoubtedly the main attraction. The ambiance of the place is cheerful and inviting, contributing to a pleasant dessert experience.In conclusion, Popbar offers a novel and enjoyable take on frozen desserts. Their concept of customizable popsicles, where you can mix and match flavors and toppings, is both fun and inventive. Even though the dark mint chocolate could use a little more mint flavor, the overall experience was delightful. Popbar is a must-try spot in New Orleans for anyone looking for a refreshing and creative dessert option.“

“Great snowball and ice cream stand in Marrero, just a little past Estelle Elementary school on the left-hand side on Barataria Boulevard. This establishment has been open for a very long time, so I assume they are doing a thing or two right. They usually have loads of people throughout the day and evening.“

“Crumbl Cookies offers a delightful treat with its rotating menu of gourmet cookies. Each cookie is large, soft, and packed with unique flavors, making every bite a satisfying experience. The in-store ambiance is modern, with a welcoming open kitchen concept. While the cookies are a bit pricey and sweet, they’re perfect for indulging or sharing. Overall, Crumbl is a top choice for anyone craving something special.“
