Pelican’s Snoballs

Yummy! They are very similar to snow cones but smoother and so many flavors. Anything you can think of they have and they are very good.

Love all the flavors and with all this heat, how can you go wrong? Sometimes the syrups are a little too sweet for me… I my favorite is the sugar-​free Cherry! Gotta love it!

YESSSSSS. Can you marry shaved ice? If not legalize it. I stopped by here on the way back from applying for my passport in angier. The kid size is HUGE. And only $ 2. And they take cards. And they are open year round. And they have sooooo many flavored. And the ice is the most amazing texture ever. I had a cherry margarita. One word. YUM!
I could go on and on. Sometimes I dream of eating Pelicans for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff but no where as good as the Apex location. Here we ran out of syrup believe it or not. Our ice was white in some spots. Very disappointing for the grown ups but the kids didn’t care, it was dark anyway. Apex was the reason why we stopped here.

The best!

I was pleasantly surprised with Pelican’s snowballs. We all remember the traditional snow Cone experience with the rock hard ice and just enough flavoring to make you believe your not just paying for an ice cube.
Pelican’s had very soft and flavorful concoctions with over a hundred flavors to choose from. The Carolina Hurricane was my selection and it did not disappoint, unlike the team a lot of times. The staff was very friendly and courteous. They cater to kids and «big» kids alike. I definitely recommend for an afternoon cool down.
For the competitors out there they also offer a 101 flavor challenge. A lot of money for a t-​shirt and bragging rights, but hey, at least its good.

north carolina’s best

I love Pelicans. I lived in New Orleans and I loved snowballs. My husband have been regulars for a couple of years. This is a nice summer treat. Plus they have mini golf, corn hole, and a playground.

Best Ice Cream ever.

I went to Pelican’s for the first time over the weekend and will definitely be back. Service was quick and friendly, and the prices are great. I would actually rather have a snoball than a cup of ice cream any day. Lots of flavors too.

It’s crack in a cup! :-) jk But it is so addicting!
Go once, then go ahead and commit with the pelican bucks, because you will be back. ($ 20 = get 25 pelican bucks) The shaved ice is so fine. They are not stingy, AT ALL, with the syrup. There are well over 100 flavors, or just make one up. Served in a cup… suggest asking for it «to go», as they put it in the next cup size up (so as not to spill). Open daily approx 12−10pm, closed Halloween — April 1. I just can’t say enough. Owner and staff super nice. I’ve never seen them customer-​free.
We went twice today… does that solidify the 5 stars? :-)
$ 1.50 small, $ 2.00 med, etc.

There is nothing better on a blistering hot North Carolina summer day than a Pelican Snoball. The soft, flaky ice drenched with one of over 100 unique flavors is absolute bliss and offers a whole body cool-​down in less than 2 seconds!
The price is right: a medium snoball in a big ol’ styrafoam cup is only two bucks. The location is great for Garner residents: just a few miles down 401! And you might find yourself inclined to putt around a few golf balls at 401 Par Golf while you’re there.
Kids can enter a contest to try all 100 flavors for a special t-​shirt. Just ask at the window: they’ll write up a special sheet that can be crossed off every time you visit. You can also get twenty-​five $ 1.00 Pelican Snoballs coins for $ 20… perfect for the frequent snoballer.
Did I mention the fun flavors? Try the Dill Pickle: sort of sour/​sweet/​salty — delish! Others? Wedding Cake, Mojito, Fruity Pebbles, Peanut Butter and Toothpaste (yes, seriously!)
Additionally, Pelican’s is available for events and frequently shows up at my daughter’s school and other kids summertime happenings.
Two thumbs up for Pelican Snoballs!

Great light desserts at an incredible price. You can treat your entire family for under $ 10.

Perfect for a hot summer day, these deliciously refreshing snowballs are a huge upgrade from the snow cones I remember enjoying as a kid. The ice is soft and flaky and the flavor options are vast and numerous. Not to mention the fact that they are very affordable at $ 2 for a medium snowball, its a perfect place to take the kids for a nice summer treat.
Also, if you like their page on Facebook, you can get a free medium snowball (though you have to wait about 24hrs after you like them to claim the treat).

this place has so many flavor’s it ridiculous. i grew up with this summer time secrete spot, well not so secrete to the locals around here but still not many people know about this little slice of childhood nostalgia. Grab your «A» game off the shelf and crush some friends at mini golf while your there.

You know how on some of those hot, humid Carolina summer days, all you want to do is sit down and give up on life? Well, now you can hop on over to Pelican’s to cool down with some shaved ice instead (of resorting to death).
This is a very bare-​bones joint where you can get quality shaved cream — shaved ice + liquid ice cream — in an assortment of flavors. The ice is very fluffy. Awesome. If you are greedy, they have this avalanche size that is bigger than the size of an average large head.
P. S. Pelican’s has this flavor challenge where you can win a holy grail t-​shirt if you try 100 flavors within one snow cone season. I may or may not have added that to my bucket list.

It’s summertime and you know what that means! Time for all the tasty, frozen, seasonal treats you can get without outgrowing your swimsuit!
As a parent I find that summertime is even more fun because kids NEVER turn down an ice cream cone, slushie, popsicle, or snow cone because they’re «too full», it’s «too sweet», or they’re «on a diet». Now I know the real reason it’s so hard to lose those last 5 pounds of «baby weight” — my kids are 5 and 6, by the way.
Pelican’s is amazing. The little storefront is exactly what you would expect for what’s basically an oversized snow-​cone stand. What you might not expect, and what sets Pelican’s apart, are two things. First is the selection of sizes. Ever been to a stand where the options are «small» and «tiny»?! Pelican’s says HELL NO! We will give you small, medium, large, and HUGE! (Ok, «extra large» or whatever. But trust me, it’s huge.)
The second thing that makes Pelican’s great is the variety of flavors! No more of this «red, blue, or green» junk! I’m not sure how often they switch up the flavors they offer, but there are just so many to choose from that you don’t care because it would be nearly impossible to try them all and not want some repeat performances. Classics like strawberry and cherry are available but there are some more adventurous bets, like exotic fruits, combinations, and «sour» options.
They also have ice cream but I always end up getting a snow cone, you can buy ice cream year-​round but how many snow cone shops do you find in December?
We stopped here most recently after my son’s baseball game and I have to say, winning a baseball game and a «snowball» from Pelican’s probably comprises just about the perfect summer weekend day!

This was one of the first places we frequented when we moved here last summer and it is a super happy place with yummy «snow cone» desserts and delicious ice cream. Can’t wait for it to open again for the summer!

This past weekend was the first REALLY hot weekend of the year and, as I was driving around sweating, no no, glistening, my butt off it seemed like a sign from the heavens — the clouds parted and the sun shone down on none other than Pelican’s. If you find yourself in the neck of the woods of Pelican’s you MUST stop in. Beware though… at 100 flavors for just snowballs alone it’ll be hard to choose! I think I stood in front of the menu board for a good 10 minutes, and not just because the place was PACKED on a steamy 90-​some degree day.
I ended up picking guava… mmm, guava… and ordered a large mostly because I was so thirsty I thought my throat might dry out just standing there. Come hungry if you’re ordering the large or anything bigger than that (yes, there’s bigger than large!)…I finished my large guava snowball dream-​in-​a-​cup and was immensely, if not slightly uncomfortably full after wards!
If snowballs weren’t fun enough for the kids, Pelican’s is located at a mini-​golf place and offer flavors like «Spongebob Square Pants» and «Shrek»…sure to make your kids squee with delight!

Pelican’s is my favorite place to grab something sweet in the summertime! I love, love this place and the service is always GREAT!
Over a hundred flavors of syrup! yum
