After being somewhat disappointed with a nearby snowball stand's offering, we happened to drive by a "Just Chillin" as we headed back to the Causeway. Â I said we might as well try this place too since we are going to drive right by it. Â
My wife stayed in the car and told me to surprise her so I took a chance on a new flavor they just "invented" called honeydew melon. Â I've never had honeydew melon either so I was curious about how it would taste. Â After the obligatory Yelp photo was snapped, I took the inaugural bite and was pleasantly surprised. Â The color was visually appealing as it was almost neon yellow green sort of like a Mountain Dew. Â The ice was super smooth and definitely had that velvety texture I love. Â The syrup was very light and refreshing with almost no syrup after taste. Â Clearly, what we had here was the makings of a fine snowball.
Just Chillin had inside seating for those who want to enjoy a little climate controlled air conditioning. Â However, they also featured covered outdoor seating that featured a huge chalkboard and chalk for the kids to play with. Â And trust me, they were playing with it. Â In fact, one girl was actually licking the chalk like a snowball. Â (yuck).
They also offered at least 14 stuffed snowballs; and I'm kicking myself for not trying one while I was there. Â I seem to recall that they also serve shakes and malts, but I was so wound up over the honeydew melon, that everything else just faded into the distance as I headed home.
I wouldn't call this a traditional "New Orleans snoball", Â but all in all a good snoball. There's something different with the consistency of the ice compared to what I am used to.
Great service wit a smile. There's a few tables outside in shade to sit and enjoy your snoball. On the day that we visited, there's was a breeze that kept things cool.
we will visit again.
Stopped by with four kids in tow today! They welcomed us and all our chaos with open arms. They laughed at the mess my son made on his face!
Cute decor, clean, nice selection of Blue Bell and New Orleans brand ice creams - hand dipped. Also have snoballs and desserts. Indoor and outdoor seating.
Welcome to the neighborhood Just Chillin! We will be visiting often!
