I have loved this place since I first moved to Tallahassee.... so much that we had them at our wedding 😊. This was my first time in under the new owner. I was excited to see the updates inside with the new digital menu board. Also, they now have a rewards program. And Im not sure if this is how they did it before, but I always get ice cream in my snowball and this time it was in the middle... not just in the bottom. There just seemed to be a better ice cream to snowball ratio. If you havent been, youre missing out!

A taste of New Orleans in Tallahassee!Growing up in Wisconsin, I only ever tried sno-cones and always felt a bit underwhelmed by the idea. This meant that when I moved to Tallahassee and saw a few snowball places scattered, I never gave them a second thought. Well, Im glad I finally gave (real) snowballs a try and came to Big Easy Snowballs! These are nothing like the sno-cones of my childhood and have easily become my new favorite summer treat! You start with base of finely shaved ice, add in a scope of ice cream at the center, and drizzle on your favorite syrup flavors, including cream ones made with sweet and condensed milk for extra sweetness. I love the strawberry and blackberry with the ice cream center, but the more herbal flavors are probably my favorites now. Even the small I had was a bit large for me, though, so choose accordingly, but Ive sure youll love every bit!

Originally from Chicago but I go to college in New Orleans home of the Snowball. This Snowball spot went beyond my expectations! Mr. Tommy, the owner, gave me the opportunity to “test taste” a Key lime Pie and Wedding Cake flavored snowball with soft serve ice cream and a slice of REAL New York style cheesecake in the middle. Mind blowing! He expressed to me that his customers give him his inspiration. With the variety of flavors/combinations of any Snowball you can think of, I can guarantee you WILL walk out with your choice!I plan to visit when ever I’m in town. Thank you again to Big Easy Snowballs and Mr. Tommy!

10/10 would definitely recommend this to my friends and will be coming again!! The cashier was amazing when he was helping me pick out my snowball, he told me about all the best sellers and things I would like depending on my tastes! He even took into consideration if I liked dairy or not! This type of customer service is unbeatable!!

Good cherry flavor lemon was unnoticed ice blend like no other

Super friendly atmosphere and had such a fun conversation with the employees! 10/10 would recommend and will be bringing my siblings back to visit!

Nice little spot by the lake for a delicious snowball! So many flavors to choose from!!

I moved to the new neighborhood in Leon County this year and my service animal am I decide to go for a walk and I saw this store and I love slushies I decided to buy a extra large blue raspberry slushie and Im not going to lie its so fantastic and great and tastes wonderful please support small businesses. And thank you for allowing me and my service animal to come inside to your establishment to be a customer. Life is already hard enough as it is when youre disabled or when youre not disabled but when we work together as one nation under God in America and look out for our neighbors in our community despite of everything is going on in 2020 thank you my neighbors for showing love.ADA 0f 1990#ADA30♿♿♿♿♿♿♿♿🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

Our first time here and we loved our Snowball! They have so many different flavors to choose from. It’s located right on the lake so it can either be a great date or nice walk for the kids.

The Mai tai crushed ice is soo good. The people are friendly and prices are great aswell. Highly recommend 👍

Very busy but very steady getting orders out. My husband, grandson and I loved it.

Took my niece and nephew here they had a great time. There is lots of options to choose from, its a fun place to visit, the staff was great and walking the park was nice. The experience alone was awesome!

Great pina colada flavor.

Hands down BEST SHAVED ICE IN TALLAHASSEE. Yes we have tried that other social media hit but that place has NOTHING ON THIS! Staff is always welcoming and happy to serve you. Even if theres a huge line outside they work fast and efficient. Best of all they are consistent. Dont waste your time with any other shaved ice or snowball place. This place is the place to be for that sweet tooth. Any type of flavor your in the mood for ask and they will make, even if its not on the menu.

We love coming here! Any time someone visits us we take them here and then we sit by the lake. Heaven on Earth is my favorite!!

I had the Polynesian pineapple snowcone and I dont have words to express how delicious it was! I will definitely be back!!!

Friendly people and excellent customer service ! Prices are fair. Enjoyed the snowball with ice cream in the center ! I highly recommend.

Wonderful customer service, great atmosphere and delicious treats. Team members really friendly and knowledgeable of flavors. Me and my daughter love visiting this shop on our walks in the park. Highly recommend this unique place.-cutest customer of the Day ! :)

Most definitely the best snowballs I have ever had, I’ve tried the other shop in tally and it just wasn’t the same, But when I came into Big Easy I was greeting warmly, and given some of the best service I’ve ever had!! And don’t even get me started on the beignets!!!! They are so fluffy and absolutely delicious, there was a tall guy making them, I didn’t catch his name but he makes them amazingly!!!!!

Pumpkin pie spice! Delicous. Friendly staff, lots of flavor options and combinations

Neat place, soooo many options.

Some of best snowballs Ive ever had. Get it with ice cream in it!

Love the way the place was decorated. Service was fantastic. They allow sampling before you buy. Love the Rootbeer float icy with icecream inside. We will return very soon.

We had the snow cones with ice cream . One lemonade, one Carmel and one coconut with count cream . They were all good .. Service was good and fast and they were wearing mask properly.

Huge variety, samples, and great service!

The ice tastes like tap water. My whole family got diarrhea! Eat at your own risk! Sneauxballs is waaayyy better!!

BEST place to get a snowball! The new owner is so sweet! I highly recommend Tigers Blood stuffed!

Great snowball place. We got both of ours stuffed with soft serve! Having the ice cream in the middle meant every bite was well balanced and the flavoring was perfect. Speaking of flavors, theres lots of them and the staff was very helpful with helping us decide which ones to get. We ended up with the Aloha and the Florida Georiga line~ Will definitely be back!

I always love going to Big Easy! Some many to choose from so little time!

The coffee snowball was fantastic! A great pick-me-up! The beignets were delicious. Love this place.

Had a fabulous time visiting and enjoying some great frozen treats during this hot Tallahassee summer. Tried five different flavors with the family and kept passing them around trying to figure out which was the favorite.. Hard to pick as they were all so wonderful. I think the butter beer treat may have been tonight‘s favorite.We will definitely be back soon.

Really delicious shaved ice, I expect the usual snow one flavor draining to the bottom and just eating ice but the ice was so nicely packed there was no melting. Plenty of flavors, would recommend to anyone.

Delicious! Good value and great to tale the whole family.

Fantastic and authentic shave ice, extensive and delicious menu, coffees and beignets- what more could you want?!? Support a local business and run and get you some!!

5 STARS !!!!DONT GO ANYWHERE ELSE FOR SHAVED ICEThe owner and staff are extremely friendly! And there are SO many flavors. Whatever flavor you want, they have it and now matter what flavor you get, you cannot go wrong! Its CONSISTENT & THEY TAKE PRIDE IN THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE! 👏👏👏

Best shaved ice in town

These are absolutely delicious and the staff is so friendly and helpful in offering ideas on what flavors to try. We could not stop talking about how great this place is and we will definitely be back!

Best place in town for a delicious and great service everytime :)

They have good options and service was great. Enjoyed the snowballa with beautiful view

Great little place that adds some flair to Tallahassees otherwise boring culinary scene.The idea of a New Orleans snowball is sort of like a snow cone but not. Dont call it a snow cone, either. The ice is a little bit finer than your regular snow cone.The flavor options here are plentiful. I was honestly sort of surprised that there were so many. I used to work at a snow cone place and I thought we had a lot of flavors, but Big Easy Snowballs really kicks it up a notch. Think smores snowballs, cookie dough snowballs, etc. Theres a huge variety here.If youre overwhelmed or confused by the different types of snowballs and their flavors, just ask the people working there. They will gladly let you sample any flavor you want which I thought was really great since Big Easy offers so many different flavors.I got the sugar free red velvet cake but I tried the piña colada, tigers blood (a snow cone classic) and green apple. All were really good. I felt in the mood for red velvet but the piña colada was a close runner up.The place was pretty busy when I went in and for a good reason. The snowballs are delicious and the place is located right by Lake Ella so you can sit and enjoy a cold refreshment on a warm Florida day.

I have always been to big easy snowballs and gotten great service and a great snowball but my experience yesterday just wasn’t the same. When I walked in, everyone just looked at me confused. The energy was not what I am used to getting when I walk in. I asked the cashier to sample something and she told me it was too many flavors to put in a portion cup. Never have they ever told me that. What’s the point of having samples if I can’t sample what I want? Then she decides to suggest I sample things that she likes. After getting my snowball I noticed the quality is not the same at all. I had big chunks of ice and I asked for my snowball to be double condensed and it barely had condensed flavor on it. I am highly disappointed

Always awesome 😎

My favorite place to go while visiting Tallahassee! Ive been twice this week!

There great! Perfect to go get with you and your family or kids!! Sooo many flavors!! Yummy 😋!!

I got the Fuzzy Navel with a scoop of soft serve ice cream in the middle. It was crazy good. I cant wait to go back and try a new flavor. I will be sure to take pictures and add them next time. :)

Great place with friendly staff amazing taste

The biggest balls in Tallahassee store the biggest flavour in Tallahassee.

I wanted to love this place but the two times I have been the staff has been unhelpful, seemed confused about being there even, and didn’t even say anything when my order was done they just held there hand out and made awkward eye contact lol. The biggest issue is the snowballs though, the texture isn’t what it should be, their snowballs have big crunchy pieces of ice in it 👎 not soft and fluffy at all.

Super clean.Friendly staff.Lots of flavors to choose from.Priced well.Taste amazing!

Got the Valentines special... Crazy yummy!

Big Easy Snowballs was the perfect end to a beautiful fall day. I had the BEST snowball of my entire life: Pumpkin Pie Latte!!!! The pumpkin, the whipped cream, the caramel....it was perfection and then I even got to keep the glass cup! Although Im pretty sure every time I try to drink out of that cup, Ill have to go back to Big Easy because nothing I can put in this cup could ever compare! #fan4life #allpumpkineverything #bigeasysnowballs #ihearttally

A cool and unique place. So many options for everyone and sugar free choices. Try the Floridian or aloha ones. Super good. The ice cream is amazing I’d go just for that.

Great place for ice cream and snowballs. Definitely recommend going for some of their stuff.

The Valentines day special was wonderful!

Have had authentic Louisiana snowballs and these fit right in. Highly recommend Wedding Cake. Delicious Snowballs!

Id been given a recommendation to go to Big Easy and heard that it was a staple location of Tallahassee. So after I finished eating lunch one day, I decided it would be a good time to take a walk around Lake Ella and test out these fancy snowcone concoctions!As I mentioned, this place is located in one of the shops on Lake Ella. Its a small and simple store, but packs a lot of flavor. When I first walked in, the staff was busy making snowcones, but they stopped briefly to greet everyone and do their work too. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, which is nice to see for a change.They have an extensive list of things you can try. You can put flavors and toppings together or buy some pre-made recipes. I decided to go for the Smores. The sizes they boast are true to the depictions given on the wall. Very big, very very big. And the prices are great too. One person could get full off of one of these and pay less than $5 dollars.The flavor of the smores was very interesting. The design of the cone and height that it possessed was a bit mesmerizing at first. When I first dipped my spoon into the mountain of flowing flavors, it was like they erupted out and I had to eat it as fast as I could before I lost all of the sugary goodness. (Descriptive right?) Of course I wrapped my cup in napkins and took a walk around the lake enjoying my treat.One odd thing you may not think about though is when all of the flavors melt together in an icy slush, the taste can get a bit weird, but other than that, I enjoyed it!

Great place to stop and get a cold snack. Definitely bring your kids they will absolutely love it.

Always good and the staff are nice. Another plus is apparently they will be open all year around this year!

First time here & did not disappoint. I had the Butter Beer in the take home mug. This is my new go to for these hot summer days!

Delicious

Beyond wrecked to be rating this place 3 stars. The new look is cool and all but the customer service and liveliness is slowly disappearing. The guy I think is the owner seems nice enough but nobody in there ever looks like they know what’s going on. I’m no longer welcomed like family and any conversation with the new people seems forced like they want nothing more than to make sure I come back and spend more money. I was so skeptical about returning when I heard about new ownership but the cashier/manager girl with the glasses that’s been there forever reassured me that I had nothing to fear. And now it seems they’ve gotten rid of her??? So lord only knows if my snowball will ever be made right again. That was the heart of the place right there and these kids now don’t seem to care about the culture of Big Easy, just pushing out an order. It’s awkward and uncomfortable and I’m not sure if the new owners really enjoy their job. Suggestion from a long time customer: maybe work on social interactions, hire people that know what they’re talking about, bring back some of the OGs...and maybe require a couple of them to wear hairnets!!!

Man, I miss this place! Used to come here after tests and at the end of spring and summer semesters in grad school. These really are a one of a kind treat - get cravings for one all of the time! Great atmosphere and great dessert. Highly recommend!

Just like home... ⚜️🍧

Delicious shaved ice desserts that can come stuffed with vanilla soft serve for an extra delicious treat! Many flavors to choose from and sample. I highly recommend this locally owned (seasonally opened) dessert stop.

I love this place. The staff is friendly understanding and helpful.

Just rediculously fantastic! So many flavors and combinations with staff that can help you decide and add things to find your favorite!

Pretty good desserts. Get a snow cone or some ice cream and walk around Lake Ella. On a nice day this park has so many people, and just taking a stroll and cooling off with some ice cream is super nice.

I absolutely cant get enough this place!! Ever since Ive discovered it, Ive been 3 days in a row 😅. They have created some incredible flavor combinations as well. This place gets packed so you may be waiting awhile but totally worth it.

Snowballs are delicious! Make sure to stop by if you are in the area! Friendly staff, clean establishment.

A wonderful treat, especially on a hot summer day. A Snowball is NOT a snow cone - it is so much more. The quality and variety of flavors here are superb and you even get them stuffed with ice cream. The friendly staff is happy to offers samples or suggestions. A delicious treat!There can be a bit of a wait on a hot weekend day.

Great location and great snowballs! Their snowballs are like a snow cone you would get at a ballpark except the ice is chopped up much smaller.

My first time at Big Easy Snowballs, the employees p where nice and helpful with my selection, and I had the Florida Georgia line, snowball delicious and I will be back!!!

The only downside to this place is that it’s not open year-round! The perfect treat for a hot day, and a better reason to get someone out to a local park. Big Easy has been a staple of my experience in Tally, and enough can’t be said of the variety it offers. As a shaved ice place, you may be tempted to think it’s your standard cherry and watermelon, but it’s got dozens of options ranging from toasted marshmallow to cajun red hot. It’s even got three kinds of cherry: regular, sour, and clear, for people who may be sensitive to certain dyes. They let you mix flavors, and are very generous with the syrup, so I can’t ever handle more than a kiddie size when I go, though I see some dads go for the avalanche size. It’s also one of the more inexpensive treats in town, not like those $8 ice cream places; I spend around $3 on my cup of ice.

This place deserves a higher rating. My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time here. It was refreshing to have genuinely happy people take care of us and our order. Couldnt recommend them enough.

This is a great place to visit, after a walk around lake Ella, or even just a nice place to sit and chat with friends. The snowballs are the absolute best I have ever had, And they have so many variations, and flavors, so you can try something new every time you go!! Excellent service and the people are always friendly!!!

My family loves this place. You can truly have your snowballs your way.

Such a fun, great place for sweet, icy treats! This New Orleans-style snowball shop is always so good, no matter what flavor combinations you try. The first few times I just got one or two of the regular flavors, and was only so-so about it. Then I discovered their specialty menu items, specifically the Heaven On Earth, and I finally realized what all the fuss was about! Its definitely worth it to splurge (both the calories & the price), and order one of their fancier snowballs. Theyre simply amazing!

I often meet people here to talk. really nothing but great experiences here, so i will be back. this place has a nice atmosphere. menu is similar to a restaurant in jacksonville i loved.

Nothing better on a hot day than stopping by Snowballs for a shaved ice and then a walk around Lake Ella. The staff are amazing, and the shaved ice delicious, colorful and refreshing. Absolutely recommend for anyone who needs a cool treat in that Florida heat

Just came from New Orleans and had to stop and see if these are like the original. The staff is friendly and have me unlimited samples! The only think that was off was they used more ice cream then snowball. A 50/50 split would have made this better than the one I had in the Big Easy! Overall a hidden gem in the city

Ever watch a kid get really excited over something? Their eyes get big, they start wriggling, and a smile takes over the whole face. Thats how I felt upon seeing my stuffed snowball for the first time. I knew it was going to be sickeningly sweet and a whole lot of calories and I just didnt care. For a precious short time, childhood came for a visit. Life needs moments like this.

Kids loved them!!! Even brought one to my honey on his job site!!

This place brings a kid-like smile to my face. Im always excited to try a new flavor. Love that they let you taste test! My family loves it, too.

Ordered from them for the first time yesterday. It was awesome. It was so good. Cant really put into words. Go there and check it out for yourselves

My first visit here was excellent! I will absolutely be back! I had a cherry, pineapple and blue Hawaiian snow ball, aka “Hawaiian Sunset”

Great customer service and the kids loved it!

I dont know what it is, but every time I go into this place ALL their employees are so kind and friendly! Customer service is whats key. But, on top of their great customer treatment- their snowballs are delicious with many flavors to choose from. The environment is cute. I hope business becomes so well that that can afford to make it even larger for more sitting space!

Awesome place to go for a really nice treat. Well worth the almost hour drive.

The best

One of our favorite places to enjoy during the spring/summer in tally. My kiddos love getting their snowballs and eating them by the lake while checking out the ducks and turtles. The line may be long at times, but its definitely worth it!

Great selection of just about any snowball you can imagine. Staff are friendly and you can enjoy a walk around the lake while eating it.

Love big easy! One of my favorite places to come when Im in town and one thing I miss the most about living in Tally. Normally good service but often slow and messy. Still delicious though!

I like this location much better than the other one. Theres more room inside, theyre nicer, and its not as busy. My favorite snow cone is cherry cola ice, stuffed with vanilla ice cream, and topped with chocolate syrup!

Great snowballs plus owner thanks you for coming 🤗

Love this place. I have been going here for years. Brenda is the best. Great variety of flavors. There may be a line, but it is so worth the wait.

This is absolutely one of my favorite places in town. So many different flavor combinations. My favorite is Appletini stuffed with vanilla....yum! My daughter loves the blue cotton candy topped with chocolate or marshmallow fluff. You have to try it...you wont be disappointed!

I really enjoy the snow cones here. Strawberry + lemonade + soft served ice cream in the middle is the bomb. My kids also really enjoy it here. Nice location... you can have a snow cone and then walk around and see the ducks. Unfortunately, Im taking away a few stars simply because it is almost always so sticky when I go in there, including the tables. Also, the last time I went, they were closing down 2 hours early since it was slow even though they usually close at 9. The person closing down told me that I could return the next day. So i drove all the way there for nothing and had to leave with some sad kids.

Big Easy is the best. The entire staff are always kind and friendly and smiling. The have a great variety of flavors. If you have never had a stuffed snowball, then you dont know what you are missing.Make sure to check their hours on their actual web page as they are accurate and some of the hours for certain days that Google reports are inaccurate. As of the summer of 2014, the latest they are open is 9:00, not 9:30. Sundays and Mondays they are open until 8pm, not 7pm. Big Easy tried to change it, but Google makes it difficult.

I love big easy snowballs they make the best snowcone Ive ever tasted. I just wish they would open and close to these hours that they advertise I wasted a lot of trips recently .

Yummy Yummy YummyGo when you can, the months its closed you will miss it ✌️
