About Hansen's Sno-Bliz

Hansen's Sno-Bliz is a legendary sno-ball shop in New Orleans, established in 1934 by the Hansen family. Despite facing challenges like Hurricane Katrina, the family's dedication has kept the legacy alive. Ashley Hansen, the granddaughter, now runs the shop and continues the tradition of making creative and delicious sno-balls with natural flavors. The shop received the America's Classics award in 2014 for its quality. The snowballs are meticulously crafted, shaved ice drenched in homemade syrups, offering a true taste of Louisiana's culture. Customers can enjoy a variety of flavors, like the Cherry snowball, which offers a symphony of authenticity and sweetness without artificial flavors. The shop is known for its soft, fluffy, and powdery ice, which is so fine that it could be skied in Aspen. Visitors can choose classic flavors or venture into bold, experimental options such as the spicy pickle or bananas foster, which are highly recommended. The shop also offers options to stuff snowballs with fruit or ice cream, layering flavors for every bite. Located in a nice neighborhood, the shop is worth the walk, and customers find the snowballs outstanding and a true delight, with each one filled with pure joy and real ingredients. The iconic "Sno-Bliz" machine, patented in 1950, still operates, transforming ice blocks into delicate snow, making each snowball a special treat.
