What is there not to love about Bahama Buck's? It's even open on Sundays now! There are so many options for shaved ice here from different sizes to fillings to syrups to the creme on top (which is a must), so everyone will find at least 891564+ combinations that sound good to them. My personal favorite flavors are Root Beer Float, Vanilla, Cherry Coke, Mango...and basically anything else. Seriously, the list goes on! There are even sour flavors, if you're into that. What sets Bahama Buck's apart is how smooth the shaved ice is: it's shaved so finely that it instantly melts in your mouth and you never have to crunch into big pieces of ice like traditional snow cones. This is the perfect treat for a hot day, which is most days around here. Plus, they have indoor seating (for said hot days), outdoor seating, AND a drive-thru so you don't even have to get out of your car and spend the 30 seconds running back into air conditioning if it's that hot. read more

My newest summertime indulgence! It's so much better than *just* a snow cone. Order the Bahama Rama Mama, a masterful blend of light shaved ice and smooth ice cream, topped with your choice of nearly a bazillion different flavor combinations. Of the countless options, my favorites are blue coconut, piña colada, cherry Coke, and birthday cake (not all at once). The flavors and texture of the shaved ice/cream blend is quite remarkable and I guarantee you'll be looking for excuses to come back here. My wife and I even stopped in for dessert after our anniversary dinner. Hyperbole? I kid you not. More than the Snow, this place offers a whole variety of board games that you can play while you enjoy your tasty treats. Old school games like Battleship - so much fun! The place is big enough for the whole family, so bring everyone. Or, avoid the din of sugar-rushed children and zip through the drive-thru. Oh, here's a tip: If you get your Snow to go, ask for the cup the next size up and a flat top. As you can see from the photos, they give you a nice big glacier that juts out above the top of the cup. You don't want to miss out on that extra goodness, nor do you want it all in your lap, just because you're on the go. read more

the entire staff was working hard and had a great attitude . Becca was a real superstar though. We walked in and she greeted us immediately hit with a big smile. There was a waiting line to order and she let us know that it would be a couple minutes but thanks for waiting.she really made our experience a great one. read more

Went to this place yesterday as I live close and wanted something cold. I decided to try it finally. After an unacceptable wait in the drive thru, (only one car was ahead of me)...I ordered two Dr Pepper shaved ice. After two spoons, we threw this crap away!! So glad we only got the 8oz cups! The ice tasted like it was moldy or that it was being stored in some dank nasty basement. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

EAT THE YELLOW SNOW! Crap this place is good and it's right down the street from my house! Get the tropical creme for 50 cents added to your shaved ice. Got mine with red raspberry and it was awesome! Not your typical cheap shaved ice here, they are serving high quality stuff. I didn't think there were quality shaved ice joints, but this place is cool and they have a lot of options and other stuff besides shaved ice. They have board games, interactive social media music options on their jukebox and good service. The only con is that their prices are a bit high. I'd recommend getting a "Baby" size shaved ice for $2.99. There is a lot of shaved ice in the small/regular sizes... Dare I say too much? read more

My kids really enjoy the unique treats here. Definitely not your normal snocone that I grew up with.

We had a girl named Bella give us our smoothies and she was so nice she even socialized with my daughter and told her about some of the drinks she might like she was very quick and did a great job read more

Tigers Blood is strawberry and cinnamon- now you know. And as GI Joe would say, knowing is half the battle. So stop asking.

The kids that work here are friendly. They get busy but the wait is worth it. I usually get the vanilla ice cream with blue raspberry, pina colada and jamaican punch on top of the snowcone. If you dare to bear the heat, there are air misters on the porch. They have happy hour here - half price from 2p-5p. read more

We understand that it was a busy at the time we were ordering, but they complete forgot to make one of ours order even through they made the other two. It was also very simple order too. Then when we had asked them to make the order since they forgot, they completely didn't put the flavor throughly through the shaved ice. We understand that the employee were shorthanded but it was still a little frustrating because it wasn't that big of an order just a smallest size for the shaved ice with one flavor. But the employees were very polite and fix the problem. They were very professional about it. read more

Bahama Buck's - Baby size pick lemonade only shaved ice. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Coconut everything and Lychee + Condensed Milk = YUMMY! Came in at 10PM and we literally waited to order as the workers walked past us several times. I get that they were busy and wrapped up getting orders out but at least acknowledge our presence. Dont walk around pretending no one is waiting in line. The cups were all sticky because the girl putting all the flavors was so messy her white shoes were covered with all the flavors that missed the cups. Poor service, great treat on this hot weather!!! Eat slowly or you get a mean BRAIN FREEZE after a few bites! read more

This place has gone to the crapper! I ordered 5 shaved ice for my family and not ONE had proper amounts of flavoring in them. I get the flavor SOAKS in but this was flavoring that just had white in the middle all the way down! Also this recently came into New management (says one of the guys there) but it has sure let this place down! So sad. I visited this location this week and watched as the kids seemed unhappy. Got several ordered wrong and what seemed to be owner, who barked commands at the workers. At least the previous owners said hi to us and the environment was fun! You could feel it In the air! Now it's drab and unfun! Sorry, this place lost a customer read more

excellent shave ice with a dizzying array of flavors available to your liking. it's not quite on the level as the well-known & proven spots i've had in hawai'i but bahama buck's is good shave ice in its own way. i've seen bahama bucks on many trips to vegas but never got a chance to sample their sno offerings. and being that this was my first time in the phoenix area, i had to jump at the chance to go to the gilbert location. i was really glad it was close to my friend's place where i was staying. we went there for our sugar fix after having lunch in downtown gilbert. it was well worth it. i got to treat my friends and their kids, the staff was super nice even though we had about 9 orders and they were awesome to take our coupons. i opted for a regular size which was plenty for me. i went with toasted coconut, mango & strawberry. i just got the regular shave ice. they have an option for having vanilla ice cream on the bottom and tropical cream drizzled as a topping. the texture of the shave ice was good. i consider myself a connoisseur of sorts when it comes to shave ice because i will seek it out whenever i'm in a new town hoping to find something like they had at waiola shave ice on oahu. it's a never ending quest on the mainland. ha! the staff at bb get all the flavor into the bottom of the cup. they do not skimp. i love that... the wait was a little long cause it was a busy day and they have a drive-thru window as well but to me it was worth it. like i said the staff was great especially the girl at the counter that took our many orders. make sure to tip them! i like that they had board games by the counter when you walk in that you can play while inside. we all played HedBanz and that was a lot of fun & laughs. they have the ring game outside by the tables which im sure is good times... probably frustrating too. also thought it was nice than they had sugar free and zero calorie options (whaaa??) as well as smoothies and special orders. there's just so much to choose from. i will definitely be back the next time i'm in town. i'l be getting a large this time. good sno! oh... and i like the color changing spoon. read more

I enjoy going to Bahama Bucks. This one is especially convenient because it has a drive-through. There are a wide variety of flavors and the ice is perfectly shaved. This is a very good place to get a nice cold treat. I usually get cherry Coke or cherry lime. My fiancé usually gets Tigers blood or big red. All good stuff. read more

The running joke with our family is with the drive thru the young girls always welcome you the same way every time "welcome to Bahama Buck's I'll be with you in just one minute" literally 3 minutes later it's "what can I get for you" never an apology for the lack of the word drive thru ‍then you pull up and there are only 2 others in the store ‍ but at the same time we laugh every time because it never fails we always have the same experience (I have a few full punch cards)we keep coming back though ‍ no one else has the shaved ice so it is what it is and its employees are teenagers with no time clock in the drive thru like other places so there is no sense of urgency in service, that may be beneficial for customer service....Just a thought. As far as the product the shaved ice, well we clearly enjoy it because we are huge on service and keep going back lol ‍ read more

New to the area and tried this on a truly super hot day. Wow, super refreshing and delicious. I got the bahama rama Cherry Coke with vanilla Ice cream. I loved hat I could eat it like a regular ice cream cone. We have been back three times since. read more

I really do like Bahama Buck's but this location seems to be really bad at making them. I have tried this location enough times to realize that the Chandler location is superior. The problem here is that they put way too much syrup and I can barely eat it. Last time I was here, I ended up asking for an extra cup just to pour out the excess syrup and try to finish my shaved ice. read more

I love this place always really nice and friendly. No complaints here I got the banana flavored read more

Bahama Buck's - Inside of store. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

My two drinks ended up being $13.08. I had her $20.08 she drops the change says oops and gives me $6.92 back. Like what the fuck she dropped the change on the ground and takes it out of my change. Needless to say I will never ever go back to Bahama bucks again in my life I'll take my business to triple smoothie cafe. read more

Love this location. I'm glad they are still open during this time. Even though there's a long line for drive thru but their order made pretty fast! I always get the shaved ice with vanilla ice-cream. Best ice-cream ever read more

I appreciate the owner reaching out to me to hold his workers accountable. While I can't provide a full 5-stars for their service after the careless experience I had, I was able to return to their store and have a pleasurable experience with redeeming my freebie. Best to go before 9 PM to use it if you don't want kids making the mistake for you! Hands down impressed with the owner's service and can only see things going up from here with their employees. read more

I can always find something to satisfy my taste buds. Love to sit and enjoy my frozen treat while the kids play board games that's Bahama bucks provides. There is so much on the menu I try and get something different. Love Bahama bucks. read more

2 stars because I love Bahama bucks but man, this location seriously messes my order up almost EVERY time. Just went and was talking to my wife about how this happens every time, so I had the girl taking my order repeat it back to me, to which I corrected her that I wanted ALL sour flavors. For the umpteenth time my shaved ice was the flavors I asked for plus one I did NOT and not in sour and my wife's were different flavors than what she ordered. So disappointing and even more so that the line is so long I can't go back through and you can't go inside. Looks like I'll have to start testing it at the window read more

Bahama Buck's is a recent obsession of mine. I recommend vanilla with creme - YUMM! We came in on a Tuesday 10 minutes before closing and they eagerly served us and let us sit on the patio for about 45 minutes after they closed (until they told us over the loud speaker to leave haha). Good prices, friendly staff, and fun atmosphere! read more

This has been my go to Bahama Bucks for the last 3 years...tonight was the first night I've ever been truly disappointed... i did an online order ...I waited in the drive thru for 30 minutes to only get up to the window & it still not be ready they had us go park and then after waiting 10 minutes I gave up and went inside to only over hear some of the staff saying they didn't know what car was mine and they hoped I had just forgotten about my order. Truly disappointing and probably scared the girl who said it when I said I was right here and hadn't forgotten. read more

Love love love!!! My 13 year old is crazy about this place. I love it too!! Brings me back to my memories of Kauai. read more

Bahama Buck's - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

The girls are nice- but literally have zero sense of awareness of how long they make customers wait. It never seems like they have enough employees working. I just waited probably 10 minutes at the WINDOW just to get my 2 small baby orders with probably 5 cars behind me. No apologies for how long it took. Just totally clueless. This location is the slowest one with zero apologies to their customers. read more

First time here! Tasty way to cool off. Order a small rootbeer float, which had more of a vanilla flavor than rootbeer, but it was still good. Haven't been inside, just ordered through the drive-thru which was quick and easy! I do wish the menu was a bit easier to understand all the options - there were several photos of things that looked good, but I wasn't sure what they were. read more

So the last few times I've been going to this location they messed up my flavor, and I've tried calling them to report this issue but every time I call the line seems to busy. When I went today and ordered my two flavored shaved ice they said at the window a different flavor than I had asked for. I didn't want them to remake it so I just let it go, since it was similar enough. But when I got home there was only one flavor all together, let alone of the two I originally ordered. I know it's not that big of a deal, but it's happened a couple of times and just wish they would do a better job the first time around. They are busy and even going back a having them remake it ends up being a hassle. Just check your order before you leave the drive-thru. read more

The selection is overwhelming. Staff was friendly and tried to help. Quality ingredients. My husband loved his red raspberry. I tried strawberry margarita and key lime pie. Wasn't thrilled with either of mine. I had about two bites, put a lid on it and took it home so my husband can eat it later. note: I was glad they gave me a sample of their sugar free snow so I didn't order it. Weird texture! read more

I so wanted to love this place. Used to live at a place called SNO in downtown Tempe too many years ago. Fresh everything. This place is not fresh anything. Love the smoothness of the ice. I gave a second star because of the great consistency. But I got half lemon, half watermelon. The lemon taste like floor cleaner. The watermelon was another chemical concoction. My daughter got cherry, which was edible but that's about all I could say about it. read more

Bahama Buck's - Love the umbrella though!! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

This is a brand new location. It just opened 3/17/14. This location was super busy! Wait time was about 30 minutes inside. It was well worth the wait. I am really happy to see a bahama bucks close to my house. Talking to the manager. It is the largest Bahama Bucks in the country. It does have plenty of seats and tables inside and a nice patio outside. If you don't mind waiting, then give this Bahama Bucks a shot! read more

Bahama Buck's - Thin Ice Sno Cone - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I'm SO sad coming to this location. Its the closest one to my house so I was so excited to try it out! I forgot to mention I wanted a flat top with my size small (usually they put it in a bigger cup and make it flat) but I didn't make a big deal when they gave me my small with a flat top. So my order was a bahama mama Rama half wedding cake half frosting with the tiniest but of strawberry. Well when I got home there was hardly any ice cream AT ALL maybe three bites of it. And it was entirely strawberry with a little bit of icing and no wedding cake. I'm so sad I paid for something I didn't want and hardly anything there. I know the location is new so I might try it out again but. I'm not sure at this point. read more

Bahama Buck's - This is what I got. Under that was alllll strawberry. So sad. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Bahama Bucks has something called a mocha java which I imagined to be a coffee flavored shaved ice. It wasn't. It was more like the cup of coffee my grandmother would make for me when I was a child. A cup of milk with a splash of coffee and way too much sugar. I didn't care for it one bit. Other flavors we have tried were the wedding cake, birthday cake and mango flavors, those were all really good. Service is very friendly and efficient. read more

Love BB's same service and quality everytime! Bahama Colada with mango is my favorite

Went to the queen creek location years ago and it's still just as good, SO happy there's finally one in Gilbert! There are so many choices so I asked one of the guys to surprise me, and I got a baby sized (which is more than enough) red raspberry/hurricane with cream. AMAZING! read more

We love Bahama Bucks!! We moved out to Chandler about 6 months ago and Bahama Buck's was one of the first places we tried. The first day we tried it, we went back 3 more times that week. They have so many different flavors and I can't say enough about their staff. They're always in a good mood (but not crazy like Dutch Bros folks), and always make sure our pup gets his own treat too. We love you Bahama Buck's! read more
