It’s always snoball season in New Orleans, and soon it will be here in Atlanta, too. Sonja and James Milton are bringing sNO-Man, a take on the Big Easy’s signature shaved ice, to Campbellton Road sometime this spring.
“This is a dream for my husband, who grew up in New Orleans eating snoballs,” co-owner Sonja Milton told What Now Atlanta. “It’s his passion. We’re both excited to bring the sweet treats of New Orleans to our neighborhood and community.”
What is a New Orleans snoball? According NewOrleans.com, the “tradition dates back to the 1930s when locals George Ortolano and Ernest Hansen used the first ice-shaving machines.”
“A snowball is a customizable sweet made with a mound of fluffy shaved ice, flavored with sweet syrups and topped or stuffed with a number of mix-ins and add-ons… like the local favorite condensed milk drizzle, ice cream-stuffed or gummy bear infused.”
“We’re still in the building phase, but plan to open later this spring,” says Sonja. The new eatery will replace Metro PCS at the shopping center at 1728 Campbellton Road SW, just west of the Chevron station, joining Pretti Plates Catering, Got ‘U’ Lookin Good Barbershop, and Cabin Ink Tattoos.

we took our 2.5 year old there yesterday & the snoballs were wonderful. i had an organic lemonade & can’t wait to go back for another. the owners are so incredibly nice & friendly. i hope they do well!
Sweet! I live near there and have wanted to try a snoball for a while now. Time to go patronize a Decatur business~ Here’s hoping the parking is good!
There is plenty of parking in the back of that building, which is not too obvious from the from. Tried a snoball here last week and just LOVED it – looking forward to many, many more!
Tried it last weekend, it was great! went back twice already! My fiance loves the sugar free selection!
