New Orleans Sno Ball

It's nearly impossible to find a classic shaved ice place in the desert, but NOSB is ours. Any time of year, shaved ice flavored with yummy syrups is a light, refreshing treat. Morning visitors might consider the iced chicory coffee, spiked with half and half and vanilla syrup for a sweet edge; everyone else is urged to have an old-fashioned, authentic New Orleans sno-ball, made with an honest-to-gosh Sno-Wizard ice shaver. They offer 50 flavors, including old favorites like Cherry, Spearmint, and Grape, and other more exotic flavors like King Cake and Red Velvet Cake. No, seriously! Light, fluffy, snow-like shaved ice tweaked with cake batter flavor-who could ask for more?
