Williams Plum St. Snowballs
New Orleans, LA
William’s Plum St. Snowballs is located at the corner of Burdette and Plum St off South Carrollton Ave.. It’s in the middle of a residential neighborhood.. very unsuspecting! It’s not your fancy dessert stop or “come in and sit down joint”.. It’s literally just a snowball stand. Their niche? Besides the wonderful flavors and innovative packaging idea (a chinese togo food container for the large ones), they grind the ice extra fine (it’s a beautiful thing) and from what I hear, they make their own condensed milk (which is delicious!).
Where the line usually starts..
Praline and Cream Snowball w/ Condensed Milk
Strawberry Shortcake Snowball w/ Condensed MilkWe arrived pretty early, they open at 12 noon, so we were able to avoid the crowd. On a hot New Orleans day, you’ll find a line of people out the door. No problem though, they have the service broken down to an art and will have you in and out very quickly. The 2 flavors we ordered was the Praline & Cream and the Strawberry Shortcake, each with Condensed Milk. It’s a WONDERFUL treat.. great flavor, perfect ice (like snow!), and that awesome condensed milk on top. Hit them up before summer’s out! (good thing summer in the South lasts forever!)
Overall Rating:
1/2 (out of 7 )probably the best snowballs in town.. =)

i love your xanga entries!! thank you so much for posting the pictures…
that looks so good. i miss eating snowballs. my favorite flavor back then was butterscotch and rootbeer combined. or just cantaloupe. i wish they had something up here like it. but nothing compares to a snowball from new orleans.
heyyy i pass by this alot but the lines are always so so long. next time i have to go early like you. i had it only once while i was in school cause i had to write an article about the lil shop. =D
btw, this sure beats houston’s version with fruit. egh…
yummy =P
Wow those look delicious!
Too bad I’m farrr away in MD. XD
Oh wow.. I will have to go there.. Thanks for letting us know!!
looks really good… we have snowballs as well in our country, but I don’t think they ever made it like that. Maybe if I go visit the US next year, I’d stop by that place. thanks.
looks good.
but calorie laden.
if i am ever in Louisiana I am gonna check that shet out.
snowball w/ condensed milk, yummie! i don’t know anywhere that sells snowballs in nyc =(
That reminds of the Filipino dessert, Halo-halo. We do the exact same thing.
ok how’s that entry?
hey dung, my friend said Sunny’s on Williams and West Esplanade has the best snowballs alive. check it out and you be the judge buddy.
I love Hanen’s Sno-Bliz on Tchop!
