Real snowballs shaved to order. Old-fashioned malts shaken by hand. No shortcuts, no machines doing the work — just Ellen's steady hand and a recipe that hasn't changed.
Ellen's Snowballs & Old Fashioned Malts has been a quiet landmark on Highway 437 for as long as folks in Covington can remember. The kind of place where the ice is shaved fine enough to melt on your tongue before you even take a sip of your malt.
We don't do pre-mixed syrups or automated machines. Every snowball is hand-shaved, every malt is mixed by hand, and every flavor combination is something we've earned the right to call our own through years of showing up and doing it right.
Whether you're pulling in after a long day or making a special stop on the way home, we'll have your treat ready — cold, generous, and exactly how you like it.
No pre-packaged ice, no machines doing the work. Each snowball starts with a fresh block and gets shaved right in front of you — fine enough to feel like snow, dense enough to hold its shape.
Our syrup selection runs deep and weird and wonderful. Gumbo? Try it. Praline? We've got it. Ask about the combination Ellen only makes for regulars.
This isn't a chain. It's a counter, a freezer, and a person who knows how you like your treat. Pull in, tell us what you want, and we'll make it right — however long that takes.
