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

“This ice is life!!! No where will you get a better sno ball!!! The quality is exceptional!!! No doubt they created the sno ball!!! You haven’t had a sno ball until you’ve had one here!“

“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!!“

“Excellent place to go and grab classic Italian sweets and Gelato! Would have given it a 5 star review but after a couple visits the service consistently wasn't that great for me... Especially given how much differently others were treated around me. Still... the products are good.“

“My new favorite snoball place. Flavors and ice shavings are on point. Got lucky they had Ube and it was delicious. I paired it with nectar and of course condensed milk. Ice was shaved so finely and together with the flavors almost had a gelato consistency. Love the festive decor and happy vibe. Staff was super welcoming. I was greeted when I walked in and when I left. Dreaming about my next visit.“

“Stopped in after volleyball tourney - perfect way to end our quick trip before heading back to Houston. Enjoyed the lucky charms flavor on St. Patty’s Day! ☘️“

“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!“

“Amazing small-batch, made from scratch soft serve with rotating flavors including dairy-free, traditional ice cream, and Froyo options.“

“Amazing ice cream and such friendly staff!“

“They had a great selection and there were so many options to choose from! They were a little on the pricier side at around $15 for a bubble waffle (but starts at $7), but were big enough that they could be shared if you wanted to. The staff were very sweet :) it was a pleasant experience! With the moon walk and Jackson Square just outside the store, you get a great view along with a great treat to round out the night.“

“Everything was delicious. Highly recommend the s’mores or the strawberry cheesecake pothole. Cookies are fabulous had the amores, banana nut, chocolate chip and lemon loved them all. Will be going back real soon!!!!“

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

“I really love OK Ice Cream! Their ice cream is delicious, especially the pistachio and pecan butter flavors—definitely my favorites. The owner is very warm and welcoming. The shop is also very clean, beautiful, and comfortable. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great ice cream!“

“Best pizza in New Orleans! 💕💕💕“

“La mejor Opción en Yogurt & Snacks“

“great for everyone! ❤️ Always love going to this place.“

“Our family has been coming to Rodney's for as long as I can remember. Because IYKYK growing up in the East. We've since moved out of state but visit family as much as we can and this spot is a must! Although, it was a deflating experience to see that they haven't changed with the times as far as still only take cash. Plenty other snoball stands around the city has started taking touchless payment options like cash app, venmo, or even tap pay. This is a really nice touch when out-of-towners are stopping in, especially when carrying around cash isn't exactly safe anymore. Hopefully they'll consider other payment options in the near future. Otherwise, the snoballs are as good as always. Ice is crushed very soft, fluffy, and packed with flavor. Still giving out a little special touch with a gummy bear at the bottom.“

“Absolute gem. I had what was easily the best breakfast bowl I've ever had in my life. So good. Hash browns, poached eggs, sausage, peppers, cheese. And I added in some of their pepper gravy as a bonus. These cooks know what they're doing. Every component cooked to perfection. I can't rave enough about Drift Inn, but I know I'll definitely be back.“

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

“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..?“

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

“Best snowballs around. Great staff“

“It was my first time trying out Yogurtland, but I was not disappointed. The flavors were pretty good. Service was quick but nice. The inside was also clean. Honestly, nothing too much to critique about. Yogurtland’s a solid yogurt spot to check out if you’re craving something sweet and cool!“

“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!“

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

“Cheryl and her crew are awesome!“

“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 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 ?“

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

“i work here and love it God is good“

“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: ♥️“

“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!“

“Sno La is everything in a snowball“

“It’s the best snowballs hands down“

“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“

“There was only one employee and she was incredibly capable and kind even when it was so busy.

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.“

“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.“

“Coffee, food, service & atmosphere were a 10/10!“

“The best macarons you’ll ever have followed by exceptional customer service! Highly recommend any of the Sucré locations in New Orleans.“

“Me and my mom tried this place for the first time last week and the food was very good 🤤. I had the shrimp platter which came with jumbo shrimp and plenty of fries. 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 💯“
