Cajun Sno

Brilliant place to go for a cold dessert. The workers are so kind and friendly. I will definitely be going back as soon as I can. I would recommend this place to everyone.

I’ve been going to Cajun Sno for as long as I can remember, probably 20 years or more, since before it moved to Hillcrest. It was one of the few places my friends and I could walk to before we could drive, and it’s still my very favorite. My preferences have changed a little over the years: an early favorite was hawaiian (A blend of cherry and strawberry, but leaning toward strawberry; it was probably just strawberry, actually?). As an older teenager, I got self-​conscious about spilling on my clothes and having a brightly colored tongue, so I began choosing the «clearly» flavors (fruit flavors without the dye). During college, when I was experimenting heavily with irony, I would get the ninja turtle flavor but choose a different turtle each time. Later on, I discovered a pink flavor called nectar that tastes like fresh honeysuckle, and soon learned that it was even better with cream. This summer, my favorite was a blend of chocolate and coconut with cream and, upon the proprietor’s suggestion, topped with sweetened condensed milk. The staff is friendly, the portions are beyond generous, and the prices haven’t changed much in two decades. A+++++ would eat all the sno cones again.

We went today. Just moved up from New Orleans and we were intrigued by this place. Snowballs are a huge thing back in my hometown. The experience was ok. My husband and I both ordered chocolate snowballs. I’m not sure what flavor we got (maybe grapish) but it was definitely not chocolate. Also the way they pack their snowballs leaves so much air that when you actually push down on your snowball the cup is only a little less than half full. I was pretty surprised when he handed me the snowcone and I felt how surprising not heavy it was. I knew something was weird then. I’ve referenced a picture to help readers understand the problem. When you’re paying $ 4.00+ for shaved ice and syrup, you expect to actually get the amount of product you paid for.
