“Best ice cream in Baton Rouge, absolutely recommend“

“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..?“

“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!“

“I always come to this location.. sometimes its a nice experience n other times. Well u c where I'm going with this.. my overall experience is ok. Its the only Baskin Robbins n my area so I'll b back hoping the next experience is better than the last“

“Best snowballs around. Great staff“

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

“21MAR26 ~ What a great 'after soccer match' event with my son & grandson! The interior was bright/well-lit, cheery, well organized, & spotless. There was plenty of tables & chairs for patrons. The yogurt was excellent, with many varieties, several regulars and some seasonal or unique flavors. There were also many topping varieties. The waffle cones are a flat rate, and the paper cups are priced 'by weight'. Nice for families or a date. Enjoy! We sure did...“

“What can I say SKY is that GURL! They were out of milk while making our milk shakes! We had to walk to the main store to get the rest of our shakes. We came back to the location in the French Market today Sky remembered us and took good care of us. I truly appreciate her customer service. Sky keep doin us thang baby girl!“

“Cheryl and her crew are awesome!“

“Ice cream & waffle cones are the best!!“

“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: ♥️“

“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 ?“

“great location. plenty place to park“

“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!“

“If you are a teen it would a great place. But for adults it was not so good. Teens were throwing footballs over our heads. Not an enjoyable experience.“

“My wife love the candy apples! I love the sticks of Carmel“

“Best pizza in New Orleans! 💕💕💕“

“What a treasure we stumbled upon on our recent trip to New Orleans. We rode the Ferry to Algiers Point with the intent to go to the recommended English Pub. Since they did not serve food and we were starving, we went in search of food. The Drift Inn Diner is charming and cool and decoratef with red and white and the perfect shade of blue- very retro. Heidi waited on us, and she was so friendly and took great care of us. I had the patty melt- swiss cheese, grilled onions, beef patty on light rye bread and it was delicious. The seemingly homemade pickle slices were really good. I also had a side salad with the perfect homemade roasted garlic vinagrette dressing. My hubs loved his Ltop burger that came with a mound of hot shoestring French fries. We had to try the also homemade soft serve ice cream. I'm still thinking about the in house celery soda that I didn't try. I highly recommend!“

“Fantastic in-house snoball flavors. The watermelon jalapeno was tasty and refreshing! Located in a charming area as well. Someone else complained about the prices, but this is a small business located on the competitive Magazine Street and keeping up with the 2024 economy. They are fairly priced for the effort and innovative flavors! Happy to go here!“

“i work here and love it God is good“

“Great snowballs and boudin!!!!!“

“Just wanted to say that the Roasted Strawberry Creole on a waffle cone at French Quarter Fest was easily the best strawberry ice cream I’ve ever had because it blew. my. mind. Will be seeing y’all a lot more often this summer, thanks!“

My mama also had the same thing and we both enjoyed it. Prices are very reasonable so if you're looking for something affordable and good to eat I highly recommend Louie's Kitchen 💯“
