Williams Plum Street Snowballs

My wife and I had Williams Plum Street Snowballs recommended to us by a friend who is originally from New Orleans but lives in Memphis now. When someone from New Orleans tells you that you need to try a certain place, you listen, and I am glad we did because this place was definitely worth the stop. We both ordered the small pails, which were actually a really good size. I went with the strawberry shortcake, and my wife got the peaches and cream. Both were absolutely amazing. The ice was incredibly soft and fine, and the flavors were sweet without being too much. My strawberry shortcake had plenty of flavor all the way through instead of just having syrup sitting on top. I tried the peaches and cream as well, and that one was just as good. Between the two, I honestly do not know which one I liked better. One thing that really stood out was the service. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and moved quickly. We had no wait when we arrived, so we were able to order and get our snowballs right away. Watching them make everything right in front of you also adds to the experience. There are so many flavors to choose from that I could easily see myself coming back several times just to try different combinations. You can also tell when a neighborhood spot is good by who is actually there. There were more than six families sitting outside enjoying their snowballs, with a bunch of young kids running around and eating theirs. Most of the kids looked like they were under eight years old. That told me everything I needed to know. This is clearly one of those local places that families have been coming to and enjoying together. Williams Plum Street Snowballs was a great recommendation and one of those places that feels like part of the New Orleans experience. Great flavors, great service, no wait, and a fun atmosphere. The strawberry shortcake and peaches and cream were both excellent. We would absolutely come back the next time we are in New Orleans.

I usually catch Plum St at the French Quarter Fest. I decided to stop by today. I got a small pail with Banana & Wedding Cake with condensed milk. Overall the ice was soft, but the flavors didn’t stand out as I had hope. The snowball just tasted sweet (maybe the condensed milk overpowered). The customer service was great, social staff (older lady very nice) who alerted me of the pail sizes. There’s a $1 surcharge for card payments.

We went there cause they have pineapple dolewhip. I got the cream of coconut stuffed with dolewhip. 10/10. It was great but honestly the woman who made the snowballs was amazing. She’s an older lady very very great with people. I think she the owner but she made a great snowball even greater .

This place was so cute! The prices were fair and the flavors were vast. FYI, there is no indoor seating, it’s more like a window order and sit or go. We got the souvenir cups so we can always remember our trip there, but they do sell them in the to go cartons which is a cute touch. Highly recommend finding and trying this small-town feel, local gem!

I ordered a medium stuffed snowball. I found it odd they gave me a bag opposed to napkins when I ordered a cup. Considering the wait and the price, the ice is very crunchy and the flavor was nothing special. I couldn’t recommend this place.
