Ive been going to this snoballs stand since I was a kid. They have the best snoballs in my opinion and I wont eat snoballs from any other place. I try to get a snoballs every time I come to visit home. I always get too much snoballs but my intentions are good.

A must-do when in New Orleans! The peach cream was the best one. But we also loved our root beer and cookie dough flavors! Our 1 year-old was not discriminating between the three flavors and our picky 4 year-old also loved all three flavors. Something for everyone, truly!

Poor management and customer service. Just waited 45 minutes for a snowball and finally just decided to leave. They served 10 people who came after us, and when I inquire they say they are still making ours. They also won’t give estimated wait times so you know not to waste half your day. Won’t be back

Excellent sugar free flavors. Rasberry Sugar Free & Clear Sugar Free Strawberry, Tiger Blood and Nectar, and a Cotton Candy 🍬 & Bubble Gum with Gummy Bears..... All Larges. Delightful and Refreshing.

Mason, or how the locals refer to him as “The Great Stache,” slings the best sugar ice this side of the Missisip. His knowledge is only surpassed by the impressive man stache that creates his namesake. Why isn’t this man the model of some Head & Shoulders equivalent for mustaches? The world may never know, but the legend is alive on Plum Street.

Absolutely fantastic snoballs in the Carrollton neighborhood. They have a ton of really amazing syrups, including cream flavors and real fruit juice flavors. Their prices are super good, too! Come here to beat the heat.

This review is for the location in Lafreneire Park. Snoballs mostly taste like the cup. Their churros taste like they refried it instead of making a fresh one. Will not go back ):

Great selection of flavors. The workers there don’t take no shiznit, you gotta have your order ready when you get up there. Therefore they are super fast. Love Plum Street!!!

Snowballs were served in a leaky Chinese food box wrapped in a plastic bag. Not a great experience if youre in a car. Snowballs were already partially melted when they handed them to me. A very odd snowball experience, but my wife loves this place...

Any business that can sell snow cones for 70+ years deserves a visit! Lots of flavor choices.

The roads around Williams Plum Street Snowballs are under construction or in need of being repaired but make your way there anyway. If you think this is the same as a snowcone, you have another think coming. It is refreshing and full of flavor. Have the condensed milk on top of your favorite flavor and you will not be disappointed!

Still the family favorite snoball stand in New Orleans.Bananas foster cream and orchid cream vanilla win top prize. It can get busy, so expect to wait a few min during peak times.

Outstanding snowballs. I had heard about this place but really didnt know just how good they were. Upon entering, you could smell all the flavors and after I received my order, I was just blown away. This place really rocks and wont disappoint. If your in the New Orleans area, come check this out. Its a must

Fantastic snowballs. The long line moves relatively fast and theyre well worth it. Mom had the banana foster cream which was fantastic. I had a half almond and half nectar which was equally great. Good prices and friendly staff. Cash only.

Kids had a great time as did I. We had blueberry, bubble gum, and cherry. My wife didnt have such a good time. She got lemon and it tasted very chemically. All around though Plum Street is always amazing.

The owner was so sweet. I told her it was my first time and she even let me sample the flavors before I settled on a large peach mango snowball. It was truly delicious. Will definitely be back

Review №37

Our snowballs were pretty tasty, but not as good as the Sno-Bliz at Hansens. We would come back - our treats did taste pretty good. But, we both agreed we enjoy Hansens more.The main complaint we have is the flavor and quality of the syrups.

Great place for quick but delicious burgers. I mean I seriously love this place! The burgers are juicy, the tater tots are divine and they have an amazing mayo bar with different flavored mayos!! The milkshakes and specialty burgers are always great, too. There are several locations but I like the downtown location the best!!

This is an iconic place to go for snowballs. Yet, I tend to find them overly sweet. You can get your snowball in a Chinese takeaway box apparatus, but I wouldnt recommend it as alot of your snowball will end up in the plastic bag that comes with it. Plenty of flavors to choose from, so Im sure youll enjoy it on a hot day!

A New Orleans landmark, Plum Street is the place to be when needing a snowball. Their wide variety of flavors (including cream flavors and chocolate) make it a must on hot summer days/nights. A couple tips from a local: know what you want before order (it’s a small space and not much time for pondering), have cash because that’s all they take, and be nice or leave. Enjoy your snowball and don’t forget to come back multiple times.

Snowballs are very good customer services not so great. made my snowball very messy all the juice was at the bottom of the plastic bag. when i went back up there to get another snowball because the one i had was messy the lady rolled her eyes like she was annoyed and murmured something under her breath i politely asked for my money back if she had a problem with me wanting what i paid for A good non messy snowball.

Hands down the BEST snowball in NOLA! Donna and her husband have been running it for 40 years and have never missed a beat. Their customer service is top notch and their flavors are to die for!!! Cream Ice Cream is my all time FAVORITE!!!I lived in Dallas and now NC and rarely get to town in the summer. They are closed in the winter and Im so bummed. I have been coming here well over 40 years and wont stop. Donna and staff, keep doing what you do best...wear the best smiles ever and serving the BEST snowballs NOLA has to offer! God speed!

It was easy to reach someone by phone!! Ordered 9 gallons of snowballs for a special event. They helped me quickly to order what I needed and pay in advance with a credit card. When I arrived to pick up, 2 staff helped me pack and get everything to the car. The snowballs were wonderful and a big hit. We will be back!!

Review №77

Great prices & fast service. Also, I love their flavor selection. This time I got a medium Frozen Mintz in a cup which is a creamer version of Spearmint, my dad got Spearmint small in a cup and my son got Cotton Candy with gumballs in a small Chinese pale. All 3 came to only $7.35.... so cheap & so good. This is by far my favorite snowball stand in all of Nola.

This has been a go to place since I was a kid. The flavors are good and consistent. If you see a line, dont worry, it moves fast. Try the Orchid Cream or Banana Cream. Better yet, do a half and half. You wont regret it.

For the first time ever, my order was wrong. I ordered a small pail. Apparently the cashier rang up a small. I ordered a half lemon meringue half chocolate. I received all chocolate. Idk how I feel about going back.

Review №84

I took a visit here today because I wanted some snow cones. It wasn’t crowded but there was minimum people there and they already had their snow cones. I walk in and they greet me and they seemed pretty pushy on getting my order and then getting me out of there quickly. It was my first time and I was looking for what I wanted. They gave me my (cotton candy) snow-cone and the girl who was putting the syrup on put it all over the snow cone and didn’t even wipe the cup with all of that sugary juice on it so it was really sticky. I asked for some ice to balance the syrup out and they were really rude about it too. That’s my first and last experience here.

Review №85

Always rated as one of the Best Snowball stands in New Orleans and crazy selection of traditional and newer flavors and there are spiked ones for the adults theyll add a little spirit to your snowballs thats what Uptown has always rated number one

Review №86

Such a cute classic snowball stand. People who do snowballs anywhere else dont know what theyre missing!Make sure you get a bag with your snowball. Its the best trick to clean hands with sticky syrup.

Review №87

We went there and they were trying to make use to make a fast decision and made them really really messy. The girl who filled my cup filled the juice all the way to the top of the cup until it was spilling out and the flavor I chose(strawberry) was already strong if i barely tip the cup and juice would come out. I went back up to ask for more ice, she gave me some ice but like threw it at me and ice spilled everywhere on counter and handed me the same plastic bag that had suryp all over it. If I pay for something I expect something worth it like actual nice employees and not throwing ice on me. Would not go there if you are diabetic either so much sugar but not in a good way

Review №88

Best snowball in the Universe! The ice is so very well shaved and add a flavor like cream ice cream and you will not only slap your mama but your grandma too! Plum Street snow balls are perfect way to beat the New Orleans heat! You havent experienced the true New Orleans heritage till you try a Williams Plum Street Snow Ball!

Plum Street is a great place for snowfalls! If you have never had a snowball, it is not an experience you want to miss. IT IS NOT THE SAME AS A SNOW CONE! Snowballs have much finer shaved ice. Go get one!

Pa
Review №95

This is my FAVORITE snowball stand. There is no inside seating and lines can get pretty long so have an idea of what you want. You generally order size first, then tell the next person what flavor you want. This depends on how busy it is. I come here every time Im back in town. I love asking for a large because they always warn my of how big it is. You can also get snowballs in cups or in Chinese takeout containers. Always get a plastic bag to prevent spilling. They only take CASH.

The snowballs are good. They are higher priced then other snowball stands and they dont give you enough juice. It is a good environment to sit and eat them. If in the neighborhood will stop but wont go out the way for them.
