We were welcomed by the owner, Michael and he was awesome, delightful and super attentive. Gregg was funny and helpful and the samples were more than what we needed. Expectacular customer service, and flavor was out of this world amazing. A must come back for us and highly recommend if you are in the area. Just loved itπŸ’―

Incredible ice cream and even better service! Michael and Greg were so funny and helpful. We were able to try all the flavors we wanted, which made the decision on what we wanted even harder because all the flavors were amazing. The banana pudding ice cream was absolutely bomb. Go give this place a try!

My boyfriend and I were doing the β€œslow creep” driving by late at night because we wanted ice cream. The ice cream shop was obviously closed, but someone on the porch waved us in. Turns out, it was the owner, Michael. Not only was he incredibly kind, but his ice cream is amazing! We shared such a special conversation with him! What a genuinely nice guy. We have been here before and loved it (we are ice cream fanatics), but this experience was one of a kind! We love Ice Cream 504 in New Orleans!

I have never had an experience with ice cream like this in my life. The ice cream is made in house with flavors like no other. Ive had coffee ice cream before, but not like the coffee ice cream at Ice Cream 504. Ive had waffle bowls before, but not like the waffle bowls at Ice Cream 504. The ice cream is made from scratch and it was the freshest ice cream I have ever had. The waffle bowl was not too sweet and you could tell that it was not made from artificial ingredients. It had the right amount of crunch. It was perfect! Then, the most important part of a good experience, the customer service, was superb! The employee was so proud of his product,and his expertise made the ice cream more intriguing. I will definitely visit again because the blueberry basil ice cream is just as worth the calories as the coffee ice cream.

The ice cream is delightful and the owner is as well. The flavors are one of a kind and the ice for the snoballs just melts on the tongue.

Fresh waffle cones and 4 scoops of homemade ice cream! No gums or fillers or added perservatives, everything is FRESH fresh. Michael is so friendly and the lemon chiffon ice cream is actually DIVINE. I will absolutely be back and buying at least 4 scoops every time!

Review β„–10

This has to be my favorite ice cream shop in the city. The flavors inside are all done in house without preservatives and so are the cones. The flavors are also really varied and unique (I had banana pudding and a peach cobber like flavor) and they are simply wonderful. The person here is also very kind and makes you feel welcome. I highly recommend this shop if you are in the need for ice cream!

The many rave reviews here are 100% accurate. Im not sure how I didnt know about this place already, but we went here on a whim wanting to try something different. This will be our go-to for ice cream from now on. Michael, the owner, is one of the most charming people Ive ever met. Dont insult him by turning down his offer of samples! I had a house-made waffle cone with a scoop of each of the peach flavors (almond peach and peach cobbler). I rarely ever see peach and its my favorite flavor since my grandma used to always serve it to us grandkids as dessert. 504s flavors were both heavenly!

I stood in line for 12 minutes and never got my ice cream. They seem nice but try too hard to cater to each customer, took too long

A fantastic small ice cream shop making old fashioned flavors on the premesis. I prefer it to Creole Creamery. As a bonus there is all the free parking you want next door.

Review β„–16

If you suffer from gluten intolerance or anaphylaxis to gluten, PLEASE inquire about which flavors are gluten free. The website mentions all of their flavors are safe. However, Strawberry Cheesecake and Banana Pudding had cookie and Graham Cracker pieces.Other than that, the ice cream is good, flavorful and light!

Definitely check this place out. Ice cream is homemade. Waffle cones are homemade. Super friendly. Delicious ice cream. 1 scoop is 2 scoops and you can get 2 different flavors. You have to get ice cream here if you are looking for dessert on a hot night.

Great shop and ice cream. All made in house. We enjoyed the Blimey (berry sorbet), vanilla, vanilla toffee, banana pudding, coffee, and pub crawl (stout). All were great. Homemade cones were a-ma-zing! Highly recommend. Go support local businesses.

THE BEST ICE CREAM IVE EVER TASTED. Legitimately the best, and the gentleman who runs the shop and makes the ice cream by hand is fantastic! I meant to take a picture of the ice cream sooner, but I was distracted by how good it was I ate half of it first.

Review β„–28

Randomly came across this place and almost passed it up. So glad I turned around to try it out. A black owned, small ice cream & snowballs place, with staff and who I assumed to be the owner were super friendly. The place has simple but nice decor, adorable outdoor cats that frequent the area, and outdoor seating (indoors is currently closed). I only tried two flavors (coffee & basil blueberry) and both were absolutely excellent. I only wish they were closer to where Im staying so I can go back again and again.

What a delightful little place! A friend and I stopped by and were greeted by the owner and ice cream maker extraordinaire. We each tried several flavors and ended up with a scoop each of Blimey (blueberry lime) and vanilla toffee. To hear Michael talk about his ice cream is to feel the pride he takes making and serving the best possible. This is delicious ice cream!

The BEST ice cream in the state.. literally! I got the Almond Peach Petit Four (bottom scoop), & Blimey.. It tasted just like petit fours, and blimey is a burst of bold sherbet like flavors. The bourbon street daddy is super good bc it has bourbon in itπŸ™ƒπŸ˜‹. I sampled all flavors. Everything is made in house, even the waffle cones.

Ice Cream 504 sells ice milk, not ice cream. The ice cream has watery ice crystals texture and was one of the worst ice creams Ive ever tasted. I tried numerous samples. The sugar cone they served my ice cream in was stale. I threw my cone and ice cream in the garbage.

Review β„–87

The best ice cream I have ever eaten! Well worth going out of your way for. The owner and clerk could not have been nicer. Ice cream is made on the premises. They happily let and even encourage you to have a taste of any of their flavors. At first I thought the price for a single dip was a bit much, BUT. ... their single dip was 2 large scoops. They also make their own waffle cones. Every thing was yummy.

We went to 504 after dinner at the Tall Hat. The owner, Mike, was as fun and as kind as could be. He made us taste almost every flavor and offered free ice cream for various quizzes he gave us. (I ended up w a free waffle cone even though I didnt get the right answer.)Mike chatted w us about New Orleans and provided lots of great information and answered lots of questions.The ice cream itself was fantastic--w standard and artisan flavors such as blueberry basil, cilantro lime, and toasted coconut. There were real coffee grounds in the coffee ice cream! The cream was light, fresh, and homemade.Go here to refresh your body and your spirit.
