I've been anticipating the opening of this location for months. I'm so happy they are up & running for business. I love that this is your classic shave ice & not the snow cone pellets. SnoWhat also offers their "extras" for FREE... sour spray, sprinkles, & cream to name a few. I alway enjoy getting half cherry & half blue raspberry flavors. I look forward to trying some of their unique flavors they make in house. They have sections for seating inside & a great picnic table out front. Hoping for extended hours this summer. We arrived 15 minutes before they closed at 8pm. Cons: Parking is limited. I wish the entrance was a pull door instead of a push. Getting around the door while they were busy tonight made thing interesting.

Snow way there are better snow cones in Louisville than at SnoWhat!Can't say for sunshine and SnoWhat snow cones. Their flavors are innovative and exquisite. All homemade and full of flavor. And the extra toppings are fun too.Invest in the color changing cup for a discount. In the summers, I keep mine in my car just in case. No shame.

These are the best balls to put in your mouth!You'll never want to stop eating these balls!Innuendo aside, SnoWhat remains the Food Truck Love of my Life. Once the sun starts peeking out on a semi-regular basis, even if it is still just around 65 degrees as a daily high, I start CRAVING SnoWhat snowballs. It's an addiction. I stalk them on social media so I can plan my days and weekends to just *happen* to be in the same area as the truck. They set up at street fests, music festivals, flea markets, and private events! You are going to see them EVERYWHERE. They are an extremely reasonable option for a corporate event/treat day. Want a little something sweet at your wedding? SnoWhat is here for you!I have my favorite flavors, sure. Lavender Lemonade and Butterbeer and where it's at! But I am ALWAYS game to be a guinea pig and try new flavors and branch out. April is a wiz at whipping up fancy and fun flavors! Coffee flavor with chocolate syrup or sweet cream on top, mint with chocolate syrup, birthday cake with sweet cream and sprinkles. And just when you think you've tried it all....a new flavor is devised!I am not sure if I can adequately express my love for SnoWhat. Maybe by also telling you that one time....I had 5 snowballs in one day.Basically...RUN, don't walk, to indulge in your new, soon-to-be-favorite sweet summer treat!Now...I just need to find a place to stage a group takeover where we stream Game of Thrones and have April implement my brilliant, all GoT themed SnoWhat flavor menu.... :-P

I used to live in the apartments right behind SnoWhat Snoballs before they were there. The storefront used to be occupied by a florist. I am so glad they weren't there when I lived there because I would've been broke from going every single day. I love this place sooooooo much. They always have new and delicious flavors. One of my all-time favorites is the lavender lemonade but it's hard to go wrong with any flavors there. The prices are extremely reasonable and they're especially refreshing on a hot summer day.

I came here for the first time during an Elite event and I'm very glad I signed up for this one. I been past this place so many times while on the way home from work and ask myself "Why have I not come here before"? This place is located on Poplar Level road across from Walgreens and very close to the zoo. Parking lot is small and you may or may not get a good spot. I had no trouble whatsoever. Don't let the size of this place fool you, it's not as small as it seems. You can sit at the tall tables by the windows or in the small dining area. During my visit I redeemed my free small scoop deal via Yelp. I'm glad the employee that took my order told me about the free sample of the vegan chili cheese dog. It tasted very much like the real one and I was impressed. For the sample of the scoop I got Blue Raspberry Lemonade, I liked it so much I ordered a small. I never fully appreciated shaved ice until now. The employees, Emily, and Cherise were awesome hosts at this event. Thanks so much for having me with so many others.

[8/2/19 update]What to get: hand-picked raspberryTime food arrived: 1-2 minsVibe: Food truck dessert==The Food==Since this was in their food truck and not their store, I'm sure they have a more extensive menu. Still, with the flavors they did offer made with fresh ingredients, they still knocked it out of the park!++Lavender Lemon Shandy (special)++This was for a fundraiser and was a collaboration with False Idol's beer and their own lavender lemonade flavor. Initially, the flavoring is still at the top portion, but the longer you wait, the more it sinks to the bottom. I tasted the beer a little at first, but later I didn't detect it anymore. Lavender lemonade is already a lighter flavor, so don't expect it to be overly sugary with a strong artificial flavor like a slushy.Pro tip: if you let it melt a little bit, the slush has more of the flavor in each spoonful than eating it all from the top down.==The Service/Staff==I love how the owners came out and asked us about our thoughts on the special since it was an experiment. Having a direct conversation with customers and earnestly looking to improve while experimenting shows me how much potential they have to continually grow. Keep it up!==For Next Time==#1. I need to go to their store.#2. I must get the hand-picked raspberry. I tried a friend's and it tastes like you're eating chilled/icy jam. It left quite the impression that I'd recommend it without having ordered it myself.

The wonder of a warm day, combined with the cool sweetness of a New Orleans-style Snoball? Yes, please. This is a food truck to follow. Prices are fair for the volume of deliciousness received. We ordered the Rainbow Ball, which comes complete with whipped cream on top, giving it that extra creamy yum everyone loves. Staff is friendly and helpful, and will even let you taste. With a full variety of flavors...sweet, salty, spicy, creamy...you'll want to try them all.

I seriously thought I had already written a review for SnoWhat... but apparently I did not. Time to change that!I'm that kind of girl who likes to eat snow. No, not yellow snow. But I love just about anything soft, fluffy, and icy. Add some delicious, HOMEMADE flavors to that... and you've got SnoWhat's amazing snoballs. I seriously think I could eat them all day. I haven't had a flavor I didn't love. They're refreshing and great for a hot day. I love the fruity ones, but the "adoraball" (birthday cake with the cream and sprinkles on top) is just so... adorable!SnoWhat can be found all over town; follow them on social media to get the scoop! They set up stands and also have a truck. I've had them at The Flea Off Market, Forecastle Festival, outside Revelry, the Buy Local Festival, and anywhere in between. They'll also do private events if you want to treat your guests to something really tasty!! The ladies behind the balls are also freaking awesome and so much fun! You really cannot go wrong with these treats!

SnoWhat is a delightful traveling shaved ice dispensary, handily available at summertime events near you. They offer a wide variety of flavors, including several sugar-free options for those who want to enjoy a sweet treat without the calories. As an added bonus you can choose a freebie, such as cream, sour spray, chocolate or caramel sauce, or rainbow sprinkles to your icy ball without any extra charge.The customer service is top notch; you can tell they really enjoy what they do (honestly, who wouldn't?). The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the price - $4 for a small, which seems a little steep for a cup of ice with flavoring, even if it IS pretty amazing.

What a lovely spot in a weird location. This little SnoBall joint has a lot to offer. From flavors, to size to color changing cups, my experience there was fun from start to finish. The flavor options are endless! I went with a root beer SnoBall, with sour spray and glitter topping (toppings are free). I am definitely going to have to go back, because a lot of the flavors sounded delicious. The have numerous sizes, all of which are appropriate for different occasions. I went with the color changing cups, which allows you a free small refill upon return. The staff was friendly, and helpful, and they have a "free-sticker" when you check-in on yelp, gotta love that! The location is definitely weird, but after you have dinner at Oskars, its a great spot for adults and kids to swing by for a sweet treat. I will definitely return, and I plan on trying as many flavors as I can ;)
