Hansen's Sno-Bliz

Hansen's Sno-Bliz

Hansen's Sno-Bliz was started by Ernest and Mary Hansen in 1939. Ernest invented the first ice shaving machine and Mary created her own flavored syrups.

Decades later, Hansen's still makes its own flavors every day, from Mary's secret recipes, and creates snoballs from the original machine. The combination of fluffy ice and homemade syrups demand that each Sno-Bliz be made in layers – ice, syrup, ice, syrup, and so forth –  so that the final product is fully saturated upholding the Hansen's motto: "There are no shortcuts to quality."

Hansen's is now owned and operated by Ernest and Mary's granddaughter, Ashley. Zagat Survey for 2007-2008 rated Hansen's 29 out of 30 in the food category.

Hansen's is open from Spring through Fall. Current hours can be found on the Hours & Location page. We now do on-site catering, see the contact page for more information.
