We understand that some Atlantans still don't know the difference between snowballs and snowcones. Orleagian Snowballs has had a presence in the big ATL for almost 2 years now, and we’re happy to educate folks daily about the differences!

Snowballs originated in the great city of New Orleans, and have been a treat that locals have enjoyed on hot summer days since the beginning of the 20th century.

Orleagian Snowballs consist of finely shaved and tightly packed ice, topped with your choice of over 30 handmade flavored syrups. Our snowballs can be enjoyed with either a straw or a spoon, or a combination of both. The superior softness of the ice is conducive to both means of enjoying!

On the other hand, snowcones are made from coarser chunks of ice and must be eaten (or crunched) with a spoon. Some customers have told us that once they've had a snowball, they can never go back to snowcones, because they're just not as satisfying! Well, our opinion may be biased, but we agree!

Tell us about your experiences with snowballs vs. snowcones... we'd love to hear about it! Also, if you're one of few who has a preference for snowcones... well, you just better come visit one of our locations so we can have the opportunity to change your mind!

Enjoy your summer with an Orleagian Snowball today!
