Everyone raves about Plum Street and as a NOLA native, I know great snowballs. Unfortunately, Plum street missed the mark. I prefer a snowy, soft, melt in your mouth ice but theirs is more of a shaved ice feeling. The shards of ice are kinda hard to really enjoy. I tried the banana fosters cream and strawberry cheesecake with condensed milk. I couldn't really distinguish the difference unless physically looking at it, which says a lot. It was very sweet but nothing distinctive about either flavor. My four year old took maybe 3 bites before telling me he was done. Over $10 for two snowballs but definitely not worth it.

Kids enjoyed it. Too much sugar for the adults. Nothing special when it comes to shaved ice or snowballs. Literally hole in the wall. Worth a try, but again, nothing special.

Delicious. I got half pina colada cream and half orchid cream vanilla topped with condensed milk. The woman was very sweet and also gave us free souvenir cups. She was super friendly and chatty. She kept giving us free stuff for no reason and I wished I could pay more! Highly recommend stopping by here if you have any interest at all in icy desserts.

We were really excited when we heard that Plum Street Snoballs did wedding events, so we asked them to serve snowballs at our wedding. Our ceremony was outdoors in May, so it was already pretty hot by the time the ceremony started. Our guests loved the chance to cool down and have some delicious snowballs. A must-have for any event in the New Orleans heat!

Took my husband to get a snowball from Plum Street. We were amazed they had a large pail. Our snowballs were filled to the top of the pail. There are a lot of flavors to choose from and you can get your snowball stuffed with ice cream. Give them a try.

I have been going to Plum Street every time I have been in New Orleans since the 6th grade. In my mind New Orleans + Snowballs just go together, and Plum Street is definitely the best! I always get my snowball in a takeout container wrapped in plastic, and I'm convinced it just makes the snowball taste even better! I have tried many flavors but the almond cream and the chocolate remain my favorites. I love the fact that Plum Street is in a residential neighborhood and that locals and school kids wait in line alongside you! Always remember the the line is worth the wait no matter how long!

My favorite Snowball Stand. Be prepared for an upcharge on CC payments, cash is advised.

I read online that this was a must visit while in NO. I mean, it's good. Loads of flavors, which is surprising, but not sure what all the fuss is about. Might just be me.... I have never been big on snowballs (snowcones)

The snowballs here were amazing! Perfect for a roasting hot day, absolutely delicious. We had mango and pink lemonade ?
They don't add much juice anymore. I had praline and cream and it was not as flavored as it should have been
snowballs taste amazingggg!! flavors taste so natural! perfect for a hot day catch them white they're open
the snowballs here are very good. but, compared to hansens snowballs, the ice is less smooth and more crunchy. i would say they are a close second.
Great taste! Nice service, small place but snowball is filled with taste & smack flavorful
