This snowball stand is a hidden gem! The flavors are absolutely delicious—rich, refreshing, and with a great variety to choose from. No long lines, friendly staff and a clean outdoor seating area perfect for relaxing on a warm day. Highly recommended for a sweet treat and a chill spot to hang out!

There were 3 or so flies deep, and I mean DEEP in my snow ball. When I attempted to get a refund I was told it was from flies outside, and not from their establishment. That was disgusting. Do better.
Follow Up : I’m certain I was at the correct location (908 Harrison Ave, New Orleans, LA 70124) I brought the issue to a staff member immediately, and I was told the flies must have come from outside, which felt like an excuse rather than a real attempt to address the problem. Finding multiple flies deep in a snowball is unacceptable, and being dismissed when I brought it up made the experience way WAY worse. Please take responsibility instead of trying to deflect.

Don't Don't Don't do it. I booked them for my daughter 1st birthday party, and it was a mess. I paid $341 for 7 snowballs. They really played me. I would not recommend. And I normally wouldnt write a bad review but I dont want this to happen to anyone else.

Decided to try Nola Snow again after a couple previous disappointments. Same routine, white ice in the center, no soft serve and not open late enough when kids are out of school. I live 2 blocks off Harrison but Sal's Snowballs is worth the drive to get a dependable treat.

Since 1983, Nola Snow Snoballs has stood defiantly against the sweltering New Orleans heat, a beacon of frosty relief on Harrison Avenue in the guts of Lakeview.This isn't just a snoball stand; it's a family operation where tradition clashes gloriously with gustatory innovation, all within the confines of a humble shack that could easily be overlooked if not for the steady stream of locals and enlightened tourists lining up for a taste.The magic of Nola Snow isn't just in the nostalgia of shaved ice or the shock of cold on a hot day—it's in the artistry.Every flavor, from the boldly inventive wedding cake to the crisp spearmint, is crafted from the ground up, each recipe a guarded family secret whispered down through generations.It's a delightful juxtaposition of old-school craft and modern flair, hooking taste buds and drawing a crowd that's as diverse as the city itself.During a recent pilgrimage, I dove into a large wedding cake flavored snoball. The service was as quick as a hiccup, with a smile that was genuinely friendly—a rarity in the often cynical landscape of food service.The snoball itself? It was a revelation. They nailed it. That elusive taste of celebratory cake, distilled into ice, complete with the subtle play of vanilla and the just-right sweetness that elevates but doesn't overpower. It's something you'd proudly serve at a high-end dinner party, no question.Nola Snow Snoballs isn’t just slinging ice; they're curating experiences, one cup at a time. For anyone who thinks they know snoballs, a stop here is a must. It's more than refreshment—it's a deep dive into the flavor soul of New Orleans.

My snowball was soooooo good!!! I got the stuffed dreamsicle flavor. The ice cream inside was better than I expected, it tasted homemade and absolutely wonderful. My only problem is that we only had 1 family in front of us and they took FOREVER to serve them. We waited for maybe 15 minutes for this dad and two kids to get served. Please try to make your snowballs faster. It tasted great though.
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 !!!!!
What modern day snowball stand don’t take debit card, when the majority of Americans don’t carry cash anymore. What a shame. I’ll take business elsewhere.

Great spot! Safe little area with lots of other shops in walking distance. Family-run business that keeps a clean stand. I like that they have clear flavors, and my husband likes the nachos. My daughter tries a new flavor almost every time we go and keeps a list of which ones she likes the best. Her fave list is quite long! The staff is friendly, and they seem to always have a line that moves quickly. I haven’t ever waited more than a couple minutes, and we have been going since our kids were tiny. Nola Snow is our favorite stand!
