Glad you enjoyed! Nice idea about the 21+ night. They should definitely set up a Twitter account.

What a great little shop! Went and checked it out yesterday, and Erin was super nice. She noted that they were working on setting up a 21+ night. The pina colada, apple pie, and white russian are all highly recommended!

actually there are a couple Cafe DuMonde outlets outside New Orleans. One was in "UnderGround Atlanta" and another was in Las Vegas last I recall. As for NoLA Ice.. thanks Zach! Went there yesterday after running errands.. and although I haven't had a real New Orleans SnoBall in like 9 years (since I moved from there). It was pretty darn close, just a lot more retail than your standard SnoBall.. but then I guess LA folks don't go for your corner SnoBall stand set up out here. ;P Wild Cherry was most excellent and I do reccommend their Cafe AuLait flavor SnoBall. Good stuff. Definitely was refreshing on a 100+ degree day..

No doubt New Orleans sno cones are good. If I were to transplant a food though I think Cafe Dumond and their famous cafe' au lait and beignets would be a hit. I suspect the owners of Cafe Dumond want to keep them only in New Orleans. I can't believe some one with deep pockets hasn't offered them big bucks to let them franchise Cafe Dumonds all over the US.

$3 or $4, depending on size.

How much does flavored ice go for these days?
