“Honestly, i tried a few different flavors and they were all sooo good. The ice was good, the soft serve was great. The overall snowball was 10/10. Even the experience was amazing. The lady at the window talked to us and suggested things and was just so sweet and personable. I'm definitely going back. Best snowballs in the area!!!!!“
“Thank you to the wonderful staff that sold me a king cake Monday after you had already closed and we’re getting in your car to head home! I loved the selection of cakes you have, even though I’m a traditional cake girl. Thanks again for helping me out, hope you made it home in time for the game.“
“When you're in New Orleans, be sure to hit up the person behind the front desk at your hotel at least once after check-in and before check-out to ask what the best place to grab a snowball (Sno-ball? Up in the air...) is. And if you're lucky, there will be two people behind the front desk, so they can have a fierce debate about it. My decision was made after hearing that Hansen's gave you a souvenir cup with your sno-ball. It was 90+ degrees the entire time we were in NOLA. Without taking the humidity into consideration. So it came as no surprise that the first thing our Uber driver said to us was "Hansen's? I could really use a sno-ball today too!" (We invited her to join us but she declined because of the sugar content. Which... fair.) Plan and time your visit well. Hansen's is a little out of the way and is guaranteed to have a line. I found myself awkwardly craning my neck at times to catch the shade. It's a tiny mom-and-pop place (it's been in the Hansen family for three generations) and the fans inside won't do much to cool you down until you take your first bite of a sno-ball. It tastes nothing like shaved ice. The texture is softer -- truly snowlike. I got satsuma (a tart citrusy flavor that you'll find on the menu of many NOLA institutions, whether edible or in candle form) and cream of earl grey. I could barely taste the earl grey, so I think I should've gotten another flavor, but the satsuma was heavenly.“
“We stopped in here on our search for some authentic gelato. We tried a few different flavors such as the stracciatella, amarena cherry, cookies black, and hazelnut. The stracciatella was a little heavy on the chocolate but it was still super smooth and tasted great. The amarena cherry and cookies black were probably my two favorite gelatos as they were very well balanced! It's nice and quaint inside and there is some additional seating outdoors too.“
“Came here with the kiddos and really enjoyed our treat! They have a lot of different options—really unique flavors & their ice cream isn’t overly sweet. I went with the junior sundae. Nice portion size, the single scoop is pretty large. Also tried the Creole Strawberry, amazingly delicious! Can get quite crowded so seating can be problematic. Staff were friendly & attentive. Love that you can sample! Will be back.“
“I thought I liked all ice cream just about equally until my friend recommended I check out Lucy Boone. The texture is PERFECTION and the flavors are incredible. If my favorite flavor (chocolate mint cookie) turns out to be only a seasonal offering, it very well may ruin my life. Also, the staff is delightful and helpful!“
“Um. Wow. This place is phenomenal, and the ladies running it are so kind and lovely. My sister and I both got the soft serve flavor of the week, cookies and cream, in affogato form. It had their vegan whipped cream, crushed Oreos, and an Oreo on top. Extremely pleased and it was absolutely delicious, especially with their house blend espresso that they even grinded right in front of us!! 1,000% recommended on every level.“
“Excellent ice cream and plenty of flavors from which to choose. My favorite ice cream is rum raisin. Not many places serve this flavor these days, and it is almost impossible to find in grocery stores. Angelo Brocato has an excellent Rum Raisin.“
“What a GEM! Just happened to pull into the lot this past Friday to check them out, and so glad I did! Tried the Gelato and it was very flavorful and satisfying. Took home a beautiful braided loaf of bread and it was a big hit with our pasta dinner on Sunday. Today I tried the chicken salad sandwich on super freshly baked focaccia bread, and it was just superb. If you love turtle cookies, you'll have to try theirs.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly for sure.“
