37 Best Ice Cream Shops in New Orleans

“Amazing-the fresh flavors are the best!! Always add condensed milk for the best dessert you will ever have!“

“I really can't say enough good things about this place. I started going here roughly 6 years ago when I started grad school at the University of New orleans. It's my absolute favorite bakery. Everything they have is delicious. I literally have never had anything bad at this bakery. The gelato is incredible. The sweets are great. The Spumoni is incredible. The people are incredibly friendly. I've come in so many times by now that they know me. Absolutely wonderful place. It's usually so don't be surprised if there is a bit of a line, but it's absolutely worth it. If you know the right times to pop in, however, you can walk right up without any wait. Prices are beyond reasonable. I will get a box of stuff and it will be around $20. Great place to take a date if they don't mind a little bit of a crowd from time to time. Highly recommend brocato's. I will continue to be a patron as long as possible. I'm literally leaving the bakery now with the bag full of goodies.“

“They make the best Chocolate Sorbet in the world!“

“We always try to get to Creole Creamery when we visit New Orleans. We love the variety of unique ice cream flavors“

“Amazing ice cream and such friendly staff!“

“Wowa Weewa!! Glad we finally made it out there!!! This is different than any other snocone I've ever had and I love the ambience of this the little place!!!! The way they shave the ice it makes it almost a creamy texture, the flavors are so rich, you can tell they are made in house, they really are some unique flavors, makes it hard to choose just one, and they even have a dog!!! AND I just so happened to find out it's owned and operated by two spectacular performers I got to catch a while back and intend to watch again!! Can't wait to go back to try new flavors!!“

“JUST MOVED HERE FROM ATLANTA. ITS A HOT DAY. WANTED SOMETHING COLD. NEIGHBOR RECOMMENDED THIS PLACE FOR A SNO CONE SINCE ITS AROUND THE CORNER. I PURCHASED THE CANTALOUPE AND CHEESECAKE HALF AND HALF. I TRIED THE NACHOS TOO SINCE MOST PEOPLE IN THE LINE AHEAD OF ME WERE BUYING THEM. CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS GREAT FROM THE YOUNG LADIES WHICH I WAS SURPRISED. EVERYTHING IS SOOO GOOD. THANK YOU RODNEYS FOR THIS GREAT FIRST TIME EXPERIENCE! THIS IS MY NEW SPOT“

“Delicious food with great customer service experience! I went today for the first time and was impressed. I ate everything before taking pictures. We’ll definitely be back!

My favorite was the Snowball & Fish Bun: ♥️“

“Best ice cream in Baton Rouge, absolutely recommend“

“Eggplant parm, blackberry and cookie butter gelato, great service and a fun location!!!“

“Excellent desserts and great service. However, the owner desperately needs to consider having two employees working the dessert counter. Having one employee making drinks and preparing desserts for patrons creates an unnecessarily long queue and overwhelms the worker on duty.“

“i work here and love it God is good“

“I don’t just like a snowball I love a great one !!!! Here’s the go to !! Visit and enjoy . The staff was friendly and the syrup , ice was just right !!! I live in Houston and always look forward to a taste of home !!!! Glad to stop by on a visit home !!!!!“

“My friends and I stopped at Sweet Saint today and were served by Kenny. He shared about the locally sourced ingredients and how his ice cream is made on-site. We loved our experience with Kenny and we LOVEDD our ice cream. I would recommend Sweet Saint to anyone and everyone!!“

“I live around the corner and I always come out to see if this place is open from like 7 to 8 but it never is even though on the hours it says until 8 PM rain or shine. otherwise, this place is great, but if y’all could just stay open a little longer so I can get my snowball that would be great“

“Perfect location. Always fresh.“

“After a busy hot day walking through the Quarter we were lucky to find OK ice cream. You would not know this place here because it’s hidden away with all the construction. They have a nice selection of ice cream and a couple tables to sit at and rest so we could gathered our energy before we continue on our day.“

“Everything was so very delicious, fresh and fast. This was the best Mangonada I've ever had!!! The Georgia Peach Snoball with condensed milk was fabulous!! I had the Stret Corn in a cup it was so hot and tasty a perfect salty balance to all the sweetness I was eating. They also had the viral Mango Ice Cream but if I had to choose it would be THE MANGONADA for sure!!! Affordable, family friendly and super tasty!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!“

“BEST SNOWBALL EVER!!!!!!!“

“Dropped by for a cold yummy treat. Scarlett and her team went above and beyond to allow us to choose our combination. The cherry non-dairy soft-serve with vanilla custard was outrageously delicious!“

“We always try to get to Creole Creamery when we visit New Orleans. We love the variety of unique ice cream flavors“

“Miss Bri and Miss Savannah were phenomenally excellent at customer service, knowing what ingredients were in each menu item (in case of allergies or sensitivities), and they practiced safe health practices, and made me the most absolutely delectable nut/fruit acai bowl that I have ever tasted in this lifetime. They deserve a raise, steak dinner, and unlimited oreos. <3 110% would recommend!!!“

“Unique flavors and amazing taste!“

“Best snowballs around. Great staff“

“My grandkids loved it! We’ve been before and will return.“

“From Houston and it is a must try when coming to New Orleans… Great customer service!!!!“

“I have a hard time trying to find a snoball stand that can make a cotton candy with condensed milk how I like it. This place gets it right everytime. They are very consistent.They also sell snacks , nachos, and other food items. Definitely one of my favorite snoball spots icing on the cake is that it’s right Nextdoor to Casnets so i can order my seafood plate too ?☺️ Yummy ?“

“I almost gave up on this place. But I went back tonight and I was so pleasantly surprised. It was so clean. FULLY stocked. Service was FANTASTIC. I am like “what happened?!!!” Shout out to Gabby and Katrina who were so nice and helpful and great at their job. One thousand stars“

“Philly Cheese steak poboy...with handcut fries...delicious. outside seating. ..nope, sitting at a table in the ditch along a very busy street with cars zooming past...nahhhh they have inside seat available but the worker at the register (owner?) told me inside seating wasn't open "this afternoon due to a large party coming in..." they never showed the whole time I ate outside over the dirty ditch. food great, I'll take mine ToGo next time unless inside is available.“

“They’re Butter Pecan Icecream is the best!“

“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..?“

“The staff at this location were nothing short of amazing! Everyone were incredibly kind and helpful despite having a long line. Luckily they worked quickly and were incredibly professional and patient. After receiving my frozen lemonade I witnessed a woman yelling at the kind employee and being incredibly disrespectful which resulted in the customers husband pulling her away. It was just terrible the customer actions were deplorable and I feel embarrassed for her husband and children that were with her but the staff, two young boys and the manager an energetic a sweet black lady name Tasha I believe handled it very professionally and were still kind to all of the following customers. I give them a 10/10 for their customer service and their frozen lemonade! 6/17/2023“

“I just wanted to say what an amazing staff you have! My husband and I have been trying to get to drip for a while now and we finally made it. It was a spur of the moment so I didn’t make reservations. We sat at the bar and to see the interactions with the staff warmed my heart! Emily ( behind the bar) was excellent! She was so patient with the staff, while she never stopped working, she still made time to tend to her customers, answer questions for the staff and even teach them how to do things to help. I adore your establishment and wish we would ah e come sooner! But we WILL be back! and you guys will always be a top recommendation for everyone who asks places to go! Your staff from the door to the bar EXCELLENT! Kudos! the desserts and drinks were amazing! Cheers to DRIP and to many more years!“
