Augusta's got snowballs... At Boudreaux's!

By Preston Hall | Staff writer

The gold at the end of the rainbow has been found in Augusta, Georgia, and it’s in the form of snowballs at Boudreaux’s. 

With a wide variety of flavors to mix and match, not to mention the special snowballs already formed just waiting to be selected, this place is a destination you don’t want to miss. 

I went on Friday and was greeted warmly by a nice man who was happy to help. I asked him for his favorite snowball and something that looked nice. He made me “The Proud Mary.” I was not disappointed. 

Inside my snowball was ice cream with cotton candy and a snow cone drizzle. On top was some whipping cream that tied everything together. I had never had ice cream inside a snow cone, and trust me, this will not be the last time either. 

The snowball had a sweetness to it that you would expect but at no point was anything too strong and overly sweet. 

I must say I also love how long it stayed in solid form and was not quick to melt, but I can’t say it lasted too long anyways because, once I started, I didn’t want to put it down. It is really that good. 

Boudreaux’s is a cool place to hang out in, and I do mean that both literally and figuratively. Inside you will find tables and chairs to hang out with family and friends as well as some games to pass the time. 

I say this with no doubt in my mind and with no other contenders that “The Proud Mary” was hands down the best snowball I have ever had! I will be back soon and with the mission to try everything in store. 

And, go ahead and pack this place out. They are too good to not have a wait!

Boudreaux’s is located at 2111 Lumpkin Road, Augusta, GA, 30906. It’s open six days a week and closed on Mondays. 

Give this place a visit. You will be happy you did. Until next time – Stay hungry Augusta.
