Your A-List: Best Sno-Cones
The Your A-List poll for Best Sno-Cone was a classic north vs. south battle. Representing South Austin was the popular SnoBeach Hawaiian Shaved Ice. But hailing from North (north-central) Austin, it was Casey’s New Orleans Snowballs, with 33 percent of the vote, that took home the honors.
Built out of an old white house, Casey’s sits at the corner of 51st Street and Airport Boulevard. Bringing the snowball tradition of Southern Louisiana to the hot climates of Austin turned out to be a no-brainer for original owners Suzy Casey Gallagher and Kit Thompson. The stand has been serving up soft flavored ice with vibrant flavor and color now for over a dozen years in the eclectic neighborhood it calls home. With over 60 flavors of shaved ice, ranging from Bostom cream pie to bubble gum, there is something for every sweaty body with a sweet tooth.

Every sunday during their open season, I go to Casey’s. It has become a ritual. I love their cream soda flavor. The staff is always very pleasant.
