Ive been going to bahama bucks since i was in high school, i love it. I used to get the chocolate smoothie and Sofia recommended the oreo milkshake which became my usual. shes always quick to greet any customer that comes to the door and keeps the shop feeling lively and energetic read more

This place is always yummy. Fun flavor combos and always have a nice person at the register. Got the snowball and snow one buckets for a party. read more

It is snow ice dessert. It has many combo to choose from. I got Dreamsicle delight. Very colorful. It is Bahama flavor. The yellow color is very bright. The spoon that provided is temperature sensitive and change color when cold is detected. Each service comes with a label toothpick insert. You put that label on the umbrella tree outside. read more

While the shave ice and smoothies are delicious, there must be a consistent staffing issue at this store. The poor employee who was alone on a Saturday was trying to fill and take orders and of course that takes a very long time. She was so kind, even under pressure, but it is so unfair for her to be alone on a Saturday. It took us over 30 minutes to get our order and I saw at least 3 customers come in and leave without ordering due to thewait. Sadly, this is the norm for the store and not the employees fault. Owners and management, please do a better job staffing your store, especially on weekends and afternoons. read more

Honest reviews only. I'm giving this visit a 3/5 stars. We haven't been to Bahama Bucks in a year and we used to go basically every other day (actually - not kidding) The service was a bit slow. The ice took a while to come out and we were the only ones to order. The snow lacked flavor, by a lot. It looked like no flavor was added and we were just tasting the tropic creme and the sprinkles. The restaurant is always so cute and gives extreme Florida vibes, so cute! I would try again. read more

Definitely a great place to help combat the Florida heat! Staff were super friendly and helpful. Had the strawberry banana calypso. Only regret--I should've ordered a larger size because it was delicious and ended up finishing it in no time. Will be back to try other options as they looked unique and a big variety read more

I always used to walk here from high school down the road. This is such a cute place - especially for kids. There are so many flavors, so you'll be able to find something you like. The staff is always polite. read more

delicious sno and very helpful employees. avery and one other were very sweet, attentive, and welcoming. Look forward to coming back!!

I took my family to Buck's for the first time on the evening of 4/25/205. There were 5 employees behind the counter and they were not that busy. It took way too long for us to get our items as EVERY employee in the store was completely distracted by two teenage boys hanging out at the counter. The female that made my husband's drink finally finished his drink and set it on the counter at the opposite end of where we were standing and of course we had to go around the 2 teenage boys to get the drink. The strawberry smoothie I ordered was not good and left a bad taste in my mouth. I hope the smoothie was made wrong with the distractions and it doesn't normally taste that bad. read more

Fun, sugary goodness. I didn't mean to stumble upon Bahama Buck's, but I was getting a framing job done next door. I pulled out Yelp to search the Yelp reviews and saw that there was tons of love for this place. Since the husband was watching the baby I figured what's a few more minutes and went inside. Since this was a spur of the moment decision, I was not prepared knowing what I wanted, and there are tons of options. They do give you samples, though I was unaware of this, which I will totally partake in next time. Luckily, the employee was spot on when she told me Birthday Cake was a great flavor and I went with it. She also recommended drizzling cream on top. How could I say no to that? I went with the baby size, because I'm being health conscious, but even the baby size is pretty big! I didn't walk away feeling deprived at all. It was so delicious. It definitely satisfied my sweet tooth and I loved the sprinkles. It comes with a cute little umbrella so I got to feel super tropical. The decor of this place is so much fun. I felt like I was on the beach instead of in a strip mall. When I return to pick up my frame I will definitely be stopping by again! read more

best thing I have ever tasted if anyone said that there service is bad there insane and the service was top notch I would really recommend you go there for dessert thank you read more

Kids love it. Delicious flavors to choose from. Always made fresh so there is usually a little wait. I like the açaí smoothie and when I'm really feeling indulgent I'll get the added ice cream. The new rewards program is nice too. read more

The workers don't change their gloves. They touch their hair, sweat, clothing and register-all without changing gloves then have their hands all in the ice they give you. If you get sick afterwards -this is why. Be warned, especially when online ordering . Management doesn't care about it either. read more

Literally the Coolest Place I've ever been too ! & boy do I love me some shaved ice this place is just simply awesome it has tons of options like it's overwhelming in a good way I definitely can't wait to visit again to try out something new my first go round I tried out the bomb pop and it was delicious and pretty in presentation and did I mention it's like soooo good ! You guys definitely have to stop by if your ever in the Kissimmee Florida Area cruise over to the promenade @ sunset walk! Perfect for All Ages ! Lots of places to shop & eat too ! Side note totally did my review on the wrong location but I'm sure there all the same ! And I'm even more pleased one is even closer to me yayyy! read more

I love all of the shave ices I've gotten here, and that's a lot! I love playing around with different flavors and their prices are very reasonable. I recommend them! read more

The boys love this place so much they said that once they are of age to work they want this to be their first job and some day open open a Bahamas bucks of their own. I really enjoy the table games available for us to play read more

I went to another Bahama Bucks earlier in the day and HAD to bring my 10 year old to give it a try! He loved it just as much as I did and even said we can forget about all the icee places, because this is the one we'll continue to come to. Again, very friendly staff and informative. This location is closer to home so I'm glad about that. I thought the umbrellas on the tree are cute! read more

This is such a fun spot! We've been a few times, but the most recent was coincidentally on the owner's 50th birthday. It was fun to see his wife had shirts made for the staff to celebrate his special day. It was also nice to see each of their employees interviewing new prospective employees. You can tell that BB is a fun place to work at and that the staff truly care about each other and the business. Now, on to the Sno... I love the birthday cake and went with the staff recommendation to add cream. DELICIOUS! And, the spoons change colors with the temperature. BB has a huge variety of flavors, so I'm sure everyone in your party will be pleased:) Before leaving, don't forget to add your paper umbrella to the artsy umbrella tree. read more

Updating previous review to 3 stars because the business manager stated they are working to make corrections. This is greatly appreciated as the service was not up to standard in January. The wrong orders were given and it took over 10 minutes to remake a substandard dessert. read more

Why 5 stars? Because this is one of the best frozen sugar spots in Tampa Bay. --- --- --- Frozen sugar and me have an uncomplicated relationship. I love it and it loves me back. Just tonight before writing this review, I had 2 of the little ICEE-pops they sell at Publix. At the conclusion of #2, I was wishing I had about 8 more. It's a good thing Bahama Buck's is a few miles further than my closest Publix, or my bank account and waistline would be in trouble. Fortunately, my bank account wouldn't be too affected, as Bahama Buck's is definitely not a pricey adventure. My problem is that I'd literally eat it every day if I could, because I have an addiction to such things. But even if I stopped by on a daily basis, it would take me months to try every different type of concoction that they offer. The variety is insane here. Without even looking at the menu, you see the different type of syrups they offer, by looking at the physical bottles of syrup. They seem to literally run the length of the whole interior. But on top of that, you can get all different things of things - standard snow cones, snowcones with ice cream in the middle, smoothies, fruit bowls, etc. I opted for the snow cone with ice cream in the middle. I didn't realize it until I had already received mine, but they actually use Blue Bell ice cream! This basically clinched the 5th star for me, before I'd even taken a bite. Blue Bell is better than all other ice creams - this is a fact, not an opinion. And of course, my treat lived up to expectation. It was glorious and I will be back. Often. Just not every day. read more

Cook little dessert shop. Never heard of them until my wife and daughter told me about them. The store is Caribbean themed with lots of bright colors. Menu is very extensive with shaved ice, smoothies and other similar desserts. I'm a bug strawberry fan so lucky for me they have a strawberry bliss smoothie. Hit all tde right spots for me I'll have to try other stuff so it means I'll be back. Staff is nice and they got our order done quick. I'd you've got a sweet tooth with a little flair, come check them out! read more

Really cute place, snow cones and smoothies are their thing and there are a ton of options for flavors, including pickle juice apparently!! Lol My kids love this place, it's a fun treat for them after getting a good report cards. There's a hook game out front, which is simple but fun. Outdoor and indoor seating, good tunes, and an umbrella tree. Not sure what else you could ask for. Parking is free and ample. This location off Gunn hwy in Odessa seems exactly the same as the one in Tarpon Springs. I'd go anywhere for Bahama Bucks smoothies! read more

If you like Kona Ice then, you will love Bahama Bucks! I wasn't sure where the name originated from, but after checking out the website I got the full story. They are currently in a couple states but growing every year. Think of a bougie, layered snow cone with any creation and flavor you can imagine. They have a huge list of flavors, different candy add ons and flavored drinks or smoothies too. I'm sure even the picky person in the family could find something they would want. As I've seen recently with Sonic, they have red-bull infusion choices, sour patch kid flavors and even a cherry lime. All of the ones that we had were a hit and would order again! Aside from the constant brain freezes and blue and red lips, it's a great spot for a family treat or date night. They have a great rewards program for those who are regulars which is always a plus! Give it a try, but just note the sour patch kids drinks will make your eyes squint and your cheeks pucker! read more

I take my son here at least once a month for a quick treat and escape. Great selections for all ages, and their seasonal menu is fun, too. My son always gets the same thing: rainbow shaved ice with gummy bears, but I always try something new. And I never regret doing so, either. read more

First ever review The last 3 times we've had BB it's been disappointing. They aren't using enough syrup and it's like eating snow and I wouldn't pay to eat snow I've had the syrup sink to the bottom before but I've been digging to try and stir it up but the bottom wasn't getting any better. Be sure to ask for them to use enough. read more

WELCOME TO THE ISLAND SIDE OF LIFE! A Taste of Paradise, Bahama Buck's is the Ultimate Tropical Dessert Experience. The staff was amazing, super friendly, and helps recommend flavors when I'm not sure what I want. Experience the taste of the islands at Bahama Buck's Shaved Ice Shop, Smoothie & Juice Bar with island-inspired world famous Sno-shaved ribbons of soft, fluffy Sno, hands down the best I ever had and I'm from an Island. Bahama Buck's is chain dessert establishment that specializes in snow-cones. Bahama Buck's is the ultimate tropical dessert experience! with sugar free option. The prices are a lil higher than the average snow-cone shop but reasonable, they do have a buy so many get one free punch card and the best snow-cones EVER.  The shaved ice is very smooth, very similar to fresh snow, which is Ahhh Maze Zing because it's not the chunks of ice like you'll see at the state fair or in a slushy or something like that. It melt-in-your-mouth perfection ;) My drink was exactly what I was craving! It truly hit the spot & I can't wait to go back! From signature flavors or you can create your own. The building was clean and the atmosphere was very pleasant  FYI...if you have never been here before a regular size is quite large. Great place to get some cool relief from the hot summer days. 5 stars! read more

So many options to choose from. I have been here a few times and it's always good. Although I have only had shaved ice. My fiancé has had their smoothies and feels they don't taste as sweet as they should, but that isn't a bad thing (at least to me anyways) read more

Why 2 stars. Well came in today and absolutely not busy. Walked right up to the counter and not greeted. A girl finally came over to tell us they'd be with us soon. 2 people working and we waited at the counter for like 3 minutes more until the same girl came back over to take our order. Browsed Yelp reviews for this place while waiting and found that Christina liked the birthday cake flavor so that's what my daughter ordered. This is the reason they get 2 stars instead of 1 today. Taste was great, not overly sweet but had that just the right amount. This is actually one of the better ones that I've tasted here and if we do ever come back, which I'm sure we will because my daughter likes this place, it'll be one that I will order. The ice though.....melted and not crunchy like it usually is. Not sure if there's an issue with the ice machine but very disappointing. At least this visit was a free one otherwise I'd be more upset. My daughter earned a free small from her school for student of the month. read more

Great staff! Phenomenal menu and great place to hang out with friends! Will definitely be back!

Located in the parking lot corner this is a large shop with many selections of flavors for your shaved ice. When I walked in the two employees were chatting in the back completely distracted and unknowing that a customer was standing in the front for five minutes. When I did finally get their attention and I did get a lovely cup of wedding cake flavored shaved ice it was a hot afternoon so I totally enjoyed the shaved ice aspect. The flavoring of the wedding cake was bland light and unsweet slightly disappointing. I'm sure this will be a fun place for a smaller kids to come in mix all the flavors with. The prices and selections were reasonable. Good place on a hot day. read more

Really good shaved ice and other treats! They have a huge selection of sugar free and carb free flavors too, great for anyone trying to lose weight / on a low carb diet / or just trying to avoid becoming an obesity statistic! I grew up eating Blue Coconut snowcones... and they have that in sugar free, and it was yummy! Good YELP deal too! :) read more

Looking for shaved ice? Well I for one can certainly suggest checking out this spot. They have a multitude of flavors to choose from and throw a twist on the classic snow, they also have a large selection of sizes! Personally I would say this is one of the best place in town I've found to grab a snow on a hot day. The locations very cleanly and they have a great group of friendly staff. read more

We just walked into this location and stood there waiting to order. There were two ladies, one making a snow cone and the other was wiping bottles that just straight ignored us. A simple acknowledgment of our presence would've been suffice. We stood there for a few moments and just left. I can't believe we had this experience here. read more

Being from Maryland, it's hard to find a snowball similar to home. This isn't exactly the same but the shaved ice and the flavors they have are so good! It hits the spot when I'm wanting a snowball from home. If they put egg custard and spearmint on the menu, I'd probably go too much! read more
