Chance in Hell SnoBalls

I am soooo behind on this one but I need to write them a proper review! I know this isn’t the original snowball place that most people may recommend but it was worth the visit ! I am used to snowballs being somewhat fine chunks of ice that have a ton of syrup glazed over it and maybe some bites have too much syrup or not enough syrup. And sometimes if I’m in the mood might have some marshmallows so this might give you an idea of where I’m from but the snowballs a chance in hell snowballs were on a whole different level. The ice is so fine the moment it touches your tongue it literally just melts. I opted for the Ube flavor in typically because of the syrup, I usually get more thirsty after I’m done eating snowballs, but with this one, it was so refreshing. I can only imagine the sensation if I were eating this on a hot summer day. They had some unique flavors and my husband my mother-in-law and I all got different flavors that we tried each other others and I can’t say anything wrong about any of them. They were well balanced somehow the savory flavors worked as a dessert and I can’t wait till the next time I can go back. Something I learned on this trip is that snowballs here are available from Mardi Gras until around Halloween so just something for you to note if you are traveling, but I was told that they do pop-ups here and there a little outside of the season. Their overall service was amazing. They are very friendly, very knowledgeable and had great recommendations. So if you’re in the area, I highly recommend.

Such a cute little snowcone shop! The daily specials are really interesting and unusual for Nola.snowball stands. I had the dulce de leche which was divine..would totally come back when they reopen

There isn't a better place! It's perfection! The place is beautiful and so amazing and the snoballs?!?! We'll let's just say you have never and will ever have one that tastes this good unless you visit Chance In Hell SnoBalls. Words will never explain the flavor! Wow wow WOW! Its also owned and ran by the best Kitten N Lou What an honor to be at this amazing epic establishment! 5 stars isn't enough I would add a hundred Cannot wait to be back! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This place exceeded expectations on all fronts. I got the lemon icebox. The ice was so light and fluffy and the flavor was fantastic. The decor was delightful, like walking into the circus. Will definitely go back next time I’m in New Orleans.

Super stealthy snoball shop with some awesome vegan options and the ice is shaved super fine and the flavors are varied and delicious. Toppings are excellent including vegan coconut condensed milk and regular ice cream too!! Yum!

I have been waiting to go to this place for years, since this was just a pop up on the owners front porch steps! Did not disappoint at all, and I can’t wait to go back on my next trip. The inside is so dreamy and y’all are awesome!

My new friends insisted that we get some Chance in Hell SnoBalls before I leave town. We arrived just at closing time to be invited in for one of the best desserts that I have had in a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG Time. They provided Excellent Service, delightful conversation and a TASTY TREAT! Thank you for serving us at closing time!

Followed several recommendations to come here and was not disappointed! Great spot, kind staff, and delicious sno cones! Especially enjoyed the sweet puppers Monte & Carlo

We went to Chance in Hell Snoballs on Friday when they have their $9 triple flight sampler. We tried the Iced Mocha, Sour Cherry, and Grapefruit Basil. They all were delicious! We also got condensed milk on a few, yum! They are located at the Bywater Brew Pub but make sure you check their Instagram for hours and flavors. Since they're small batch and handcrafted, their menu changed weekly. It's a super cute walk up set up with great customer service.

Stop by to get the thin mint snow cream cone, it was a tasty experience. Great fun vibe ver friendly

Best snoball stand in New Orleans. I've been going here since they first started in 2020 and absolutely love it. Wonderful couple running the stand and adorable dogs on the porch. Great and original flavors and plenty of vegan options. My dog loves the doggy snoball too.

Chance In Hell Snowballs was wonderful and flavorful. Even the popcorn was tasty! We luckily found them yelp while visiting NOLA for the weekend and boy are we glad we found them! They are the best snowballs we have had! I had the Key Lime Pie and my husband had Sour Cherry. Hopefully when we visit again they will be set up and have a store front we can visit.

I think the business is located at the owner's house so street parking is limited. It may be best to try and find parking a little ways away and walk to the spot. When you get in line, they have cute little umbrellas you can use since it's so hot outside. My friend and I took so many pictures with them The owners were so lovely and their dogs were so cute! I thought the snowballs were lovely. You can get condensed milk added on top for free (vegan is $1) so of course I did that. I think that pistachio flavor is such a gem. If you're looking for something out of the ordinary flavors, I really do think that's the way to go. If I had a complaint, it's just that it was too big, haha. But I think for the service and everything else, the price is reasonable. Can't wait to go back!

**make sure to check their instagram to know the hours! Often navigation/google says they are open when they may not be** Such a cute spot! Both owners are super nice and the snowballs are smooth, flavorful, and great portions for the price. They are even kind enough to offer umbrellas to shade yourself from the heat as you wait in line. Make sure to say hi to the dog if u see it.

No doubt a five out of five. They have different unique flavors every weekend and vegan I will definitely be back. They also take cash app and Venmo which was a plus because I don't carry cash

If you haven't been here then you're really missing out! They have the most delicious snowballs made with natural ingredients. Grab a cute umbrella while you're waiting! The spoon, straw, cup and napkin are all compostable and they have a bin for you to place it in when you're finished. Love that! Will definitely be back soon!

These two ladies are rocking it in the Bywater!!! Simple but very smooth operation currently being run off their front porch.m with unique and innovative flavors plus they can make it adult ;-) ;-) for two more dollars :-) Flavors change weekly/seasonally, today I had the Strawberries and Cream (adult) and added condensed milk which they offer at no extra charge. When I tell you that I zoned out while eating/drinking this snowball is no joke! Highly recommend it next time you're in the Bywater!

The address is wrong...the address posted leads you to a home not a snowball stand. Too bad.

Great sno balls with interesting well curated flavors. Staff are super friendly. They really deserve a brick and mortar location so they can really shine!

yum! cute umbrellas to protect from the sun perfect nola summer treat. hope i get to come back some day

Run by amazing People with a great backstory, phenomenal flavors and always finding ways to give back to their community

So glad to come across this cute place while walking around in the Bywater! I ordered the Dreamsicle and added condensed milk! It was truly amazing! There were also some other unique flavors that sounded great too!

Very difficult to find your location especially after your move. Stumbled on it in some miscellaneous post. Eatr is of no help, nor any of the other food websites.

Love their flavors! They even have one for your fur babies. Open on weekends during the summer. Check their Instagram acct for info

These snowballs are so delicious! I love them more because they are not in styrofoam cups with plastic straws and lids. Everything they use is compostable! The flavors are unique and not the typical ones you get at every other snowball stand. The colors used for the flavors are more natural, too. Overall, the snowballs are not processed/generic as the other ones.

Chance in Hell is a cute porch spot in Bywater with extremely delicious and uniquely flavored snoballs. I'm always looking to patronize queer-owned businesses, so if you care about diversifying where you spend, they definitely tick the box! I made my way down here recently to try the malted milk ball / whopper snoball that was on limited release. And because I have a massive soft spot for whopper, it was of course delicious! But the unique fruited flavors like ginger basil plum are really where it's at. Also just big props to the service. I accidentally left once without paying (yikes) and when I messaged them on Instagram to venmo / apologize, they were super gracious. Make a quick stop by here soon (and support their campaign for commercial zoning so they can have a permanent Bywater location!!)

I walked here and there was no service being run, confusion on my end or what because this is odd?

we had a strawberry snowball and an almond/vanilla snowball. both stuffed with ice cream. both were amazing, highly recommended.

What a cute place! Snowballs are great and so are the owners. They sell merchandise that is also very cute.

SO SO good!!! I got the pineapple upside down cake flavor and it was fantastic. Snowballs are $6 each ( as of this review) but it's so worth it! Not only are the flavors homemade with natural ingredients, but also all the cups, spoons, and straws are biodegradable, so you're definitely getting what you pay for !! 10/10 recommend!!

Still relatively new to the area but this is the best snoball stand so far! I got strawberry shortcake, peep show (toasted marshmallow with condensed milk and a peep on top) for my son and a dog snoball with low sodium chicken broth. We were all very happy with our tasty treat! This spot accepts cash, Venmo and cash-app, which is great since most snoball spots are cash only. The line when around the corner but they had parasols to provide some shade as we waited. Can't wait till next time to see what new flavors they come up with!
