About Us

Shaved ice? Snow cones? Snowballs? No matter what you want to call it, Ice Queen® has redefined it, made it organic and franchising across the country! No ice shaver produces shaved ice as unbelievably soft. But, Ice Queen does and that’s what makes us different and undoubtedly the best shaved ice you will ever eat! And, as only an Ice Queen could image, with fun, pomp and sparkle. Founded in 2019, Ice Queen® is traditional New Orleans soft ice sno balls with organic flavorings. Hawaiian shaved ice and traditional carnival snow cones produce hard chips of ice with flavored syrup that undoubtedly seeps to the bottom of the cup. Those born in New Orleans and surrounding areas know that is not how it is supposed to be or has to be! Southerners have been enjoying the delicacy referred to as “snowballs” for generations, where the flavor stays on top and the ice is a soft as powder. Ice Queen has created all the favorite flavors with 100% pure cane organic sugar, making them the absolute healthiest a sweet treat can be.

Keely Newman, who founded healthy, fast casual restaurant chain Grabbagreen, is still the mom who worries about what her children eat. Inevitably, every child wants a sweet treat and now Mom’s (and Dad’s) can feel more comfortable having a shaved ice knowing the very best organic pure cane sugar is served at Ice Queen. Newman launched Grabbagreen Food + Juice in 2013, franchising the concept in 2015 and selling over 100 franchises by 2018. The Ice Queen® App is available on both iTunes and Google play. You can also find Ice Queen® on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
