“Went for the first time about a week ago. Was kind of lost on what to order from the menu so I asked one of the ladies behind the counter (pretty sure it was Jaci) what she suggested and she named a few things.

“The ice cream here is fantastic - rich, creamy, homemade, and varied flavors with local flair. We tried the Cafe & Brownies (chuck full of brownie pieces!), Bananas Foster (very authentic and fresh flavor) and Bread Pudding & Rum Ripple (yum!!). Other interesting flavors include chocolate covered strawberry, roasted strawberry creole cream cheese, London fog (Earl Gray tea), and cherries jubilee. Scoops are huge and service is friendly and accommodating. Make this your spot for ice cream and you won’t regret it!“

“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!“

“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..?“

“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...“

“Best snowballs around. Great staff“

“I’m a terrible planner so I had no idea where to eat dinner, and I trusted my gut when I walked by. The lunch counter burger was amazing- but the SAUCE! I dipped my fries in it even! It was so good. Finished my burger off with the Kitten Highball, and highly recommend it. It hit the spot after an 11 hour drive from hades. The staff were so laid back and I really enjoyed hearing their enthusiasm while discussing new ideas and flavors. And hearing their staff communicate and work as a team showed a level of care for their job too many lack. There was a regular there that just added to the conversation and atmosphere in the best way. The decor was on point with a splash of unique and “I need to know the story behind that”. I can’t complain. Even if you paid me. If I lived here it’d be a regular joint for me. Alcohol, ice cream, good food, good vibes and good music? Every box checked and then some.“

“Best pizza in New Orleans! 💕💕💕“

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

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“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 ?“

“Cheryl and her crew are awesome!“

“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!“

We got a pistachio raspberry and a peanut butter. They are little mousse orbs.

We also got a dark chocolate scoop of gelato and the salted Carmel .

Everything was delicious. It was a nice little spot to find while walking around in the heat.“
