Casey’s Snowballs

I like the snowballs here, although i find them to be very sweet. The best thing is that they are open late! I prefer the sugar free or the ice cream to the regular snow balls, but there is always a line which says good things!

Good snowballs, cheap prices, with many different size and flavor options. My fiancé got a sour green apple snowball and I got a chocolate monsoon with Heath bar pieces mixed in. They were both good, we will be back!

I drove All the way from San Antonio for a chocolate snowball from Casey’s! Delicious childhood memories in a styrofoam cup!

Best snowballs in town, hands down! I’m so glad I live near them! I could have a snowball from there every day of the summer!

I want to give 4 ½ stars but I can’t, so 4 it is!
I live in Metairie, and I am so sick and tired of having to drive far into town for a delightful treat. I always assumed Metairie snow balls were crap. Boy was I wrong.
I stumbled upon Casey’s snowballs when I googled other options besides Hansen’s. Sadly I’ve only had Hansen’s in this Nola area. I’m originally from Lafayette where we called them Snow Cones. LOL.
Anyways, I digress. Casey’s is right on the corner of clear view and west esplanade. Perfect location to get a snowball and head out to sit on the lake to enjoy the weather. Their snowballs are cheap and delicious. I only paid $ 3 for two. Straight to the point and refreshing! I didn’t order any cream flavors but I’m definitely going to try one next time. I got the dreamsicle and it was delicious. However, it was a tad bit too sweet. Hence, not 5 stars.
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Hansen’s. However, it’s too far, the line is always too long, and I somehow end up paying like $ 4 for a snow ball.
The parking lot was very packed with many people enjoying their snow balls in their car. I took it with me to the lake instead!

This has been my go-​to snowball stand for many years, and it continues to be. They stay open for the season thru the end of November now, which is a plus.
They know I get the $ 3.50 jumbo size every time, so sometimes when they see me pull up, they have my cup filed with ice by the time I walk up to the window ready to put whatever flavor I want on it. That’s service right there!
They love seeing my little girl who turned 1 a few months ago. I feed her some by the spare window as the girls watch. It’s cute!
I rotate between a handful of flavors: Tutti Frutti, Wild Cherry, Raspberry, BlackBerry, and Black Cherry. Sometimes I get Blueberry but only when I’m on vacation from work as I work in customer service and a blue tongue is not professional. That’s why I stick with red flavors.
Oh, and they stay open later than most other stands.

Best snowballs in Louisiana!!! Better than plum street. The ice doesn’t clump, they don’t skimp on the syrup, and the flavor choices are vast and unique. Last but not least the prices are beyond reasonable, starting at just $ 1.00

Best Old Fashion Nectar ever but ice is rather chunky. Since Hansen’s is closed for the summer, me and the wife decided to give them a try. Great overall.

Great snow ball. Lots of choices. Great prices. Been going there for over 30 years and will go out of my way to get a snowball from them whenever I can

Went here last night after we had gotten a sweet tooth! Found it on google. To our surprise it’s rather great! Only complaint we have is that it was soooooo soooooo busy. The guy at the window took our order but then moved quickly to the next people in line. So we had to grab our things over thier shoulders and get back in front of them to pay, it was a little intense. Especially for people who have a bubble! It gave me anxiety… But, all in all we enjoyed the treats as we sat on the back of the car enjoying the awesome moon that was out! Thanks Casey’s for fulfilling our sweet tooth!

Casey’s is the best snowball stand in Metairie! The staff is friendly and they work with urgency to get the snowballs out quickly and move the line. They have a wide variety of flavors and several sizes.

I’ve been going to Casey’s Snowball Stand ever since I started elementary school in ’95, when the snowballs used to be 35 cents for the smallest size. One of my top three places for snowballs, but not my favorite. The ice is kind of chunky, and I usually like mine finely shaved. Sometimes they put too much syrup that it gets overly sweet, but still yummy.
When I was young, my favorite used to be bubblegum, but as I’ve gotten older, I didn’t like the blue color it left my tongue. Still a good flavor however.
My top two flavors nowadays are wedding cake and tutti-​fruitti.
I tried amaretto and cream as an attempt to replicate my absolute favorite snowball, the amaretto snowball snuffed cheesecake from Sno-​La Snowball Lounge, but no success.
Good, organized management and the line, if any, moves relatively fast. Cash only.

I’m not a big sweets person, but this has been my favorite place to bring my kids for a quick treat since they were little. Their menu has a variety of options, and you are sure to find something you like.
Condensed milk on your snowball? They can do that
Some candy bars or hit chocolate on your ice cream? No worries. They’ve got you covered.

It disappointed me after reading so many good reviews. I love snowballs but I expected more from this place. Besides the syrup just being plain TOO SWEET (couldn’t make a difference between the watermelon and nectar as they tasted the same just sweet) PLUS paying extra 0.50 to get DILUTED condensed milk. HORRIBLE.

MY FAVORITE SNOWBALL STAND! My family has been coming here as long as I can remember. I think that my grandparents moved to Metairie before this place existed.
Not only does Casey’s have an impressive list of regular snowball flavors, they also have quite a few sugar-​free options. One of the things I like most about this snowball HEAVEN is that they have other options. Do you like soft serve waffle cones? Because I DO! They also have monsoons (soft serve mixed with chocolate and other things), sundaes… I’m not even sure what else.
They are locally owned and operated. My general physician even told me she worked there in high school. I had one of those «new orleans is a big city but a small town» moments. I love my home and my favorite snowball stand…
This is the kind of place where you would ask «what high school did you go to?» As all we locals do. :)

It’s snowball season again so it’s time to get your fill of these yummy creations. Casey’s to me is one of the best snowballs around! They have really great shaved ice and the flavors are so good. The nectar is my personal fave but they also have flavors such as banana fudgecicle, cheesecake, orchid cream vanilla, and sour apple.

I must have gone on a busy night, but this was one of the worst snowballs ever. The ice was super chunky and the syrup was so sweet it made my mouth sting.
As a snowball fanatic, trust me… Unless you want a snowball that is as crunchy as the ice from your fridge ice maker, go somewhere else!

The coconut cream flavor I got was good but the ice is more gritty and chunky than Hansen’s but less so than Sal’s. There aren’t many other options in this particular area of Metairie to get an icy treat and the prices are significantly cheaper than what you will find in the city. The line was one person in front of me and about three people arrived behind me with service time taking only a matter of seconds. They also are heavy on the syrup pour if you like that. They have a selection of other treats and quite a substantial parking lot. They have cream flavors here and the ice and flavor selection here seems better than Sal’s. Like most snowball stands this one is cash only.

The escapades of a snowball-a-holic’s spouse continues. Last night, i was coerced into finding yet another new snowball stand to visit. It’s a good thing that New Orleans is «chock full» of snowball stands, so this wasn’t a difficult task.
Having already been in Metairie, I decided to give Casey’s Snowballs a chance. They have been located on West Esplanade Ave near Clearview for several years now and have a pretty good reputation. You don’t need a lot of real estate to have a great snowball stand and Casey’s looks like your run of the mill stand from the outside.
However, don’t let their everyday appearance fool you. The old fashioned nectar cream tasted like the sweetest… I’ll just stop there and say it was super sweet. LOL However, it didn’t leave you thirsty like some heavy syrup snowballs do. I can not even imagine what a treat thhis would have been if we opted to add condensed milk on top. (Maybe next time, maybe tonight!) And the ice. Let me tell you, this is one of the smoother ices I’ve had in a long time. Not velvet smooth, but pretty darn close.
Not sure when I’ll be back as there are so many stands left to try. However, this place is «legit». If you like snowballs and live in Metairie, add this to your list of places to try.

I’ve been going to this snowball stand since I was a kid. Cream flavors are always delish!
Cash only (like most snowbal stands) so don’t forget to bring it!
