Love Bahama Bucks. They have been in the area for a long time. I like how their ice tastes evenly of flavor even if they use syrups. At least the ice are not huge chunks. Unfortunately the ice isn't shaved as tiny as at some other places, but I do like the Strawberries & Creme. It is Strawberry flavor with Tropic Creme. They have the following sizes: Baby $4.79 Small $5.29 Regular $5.79 Large $6.29 Avalanche $8.69 They have a ton of flavors categorized as follows: Fruity Flavors Tropical Flavors Dessert Flavors Candy Flavors Beverage Flavors Local Flavors Sugar Free Thin Ice Flavors Super Sour Flavors Natural Flavors For shaved ice I like the fruity flavors best. In case you want to save time in advance of traveling there, here's a list of all their flavors. Apple Banana Birthday Cake Black Cherry Blue Bubblegum Blue Coconut Blue Cotton Candy Blue Raspberry Blueberry Blueberry Muffin Bomb Pop® (+$1.19) Cheesecake Cherry Cherry Coke® Cherry Lime Cinnamon Coca-Cola® Coconut Cream Pie Cream Soda Cucumber Dreamsicle Fanta Orange® Grape Gummy Bear (+$1.19) Horchata Hurricane Colada Jamaican Punch Jamaican Rum Jungle Berry Key Lime Pie Kiwi Lemon Lemon-Lime Lemonberry Warheads® (+$0.99) Lime Mango Margarita Melón Oreo® Cookie Sno Passion Fruit Peach Pickle Juice Piña Colada Pineapple Pink Bubblegum Pink Cotton Candy Pink Lemonade POG Princess Red Raspberry Root Beer Root Beer Float Sour Patch Kids® Redberry® Strawberry Strawberry Cheesecake Strawberry Colada Strawberry Daiquiri Sugar Cookie Sun Devil Tamarindo Tiger's Blood Toasted Coconut Tutti Frutti Vanilla Warheads® Watermelon Wedding Cake White Coconut You can get a couple of flavors and a topping. The topping of extra. I didn't know they had other toppings beyond the creme. The creme is amazing!

Natural guava shaved ice (Smallest size)

Karen W.

I've always passed by Bahama Buck's but have never been inside. We recently had a coupon to use up so we indulged in a shaved ice here, and have been back an additional time. Now my kiddo's hooked and frequently requests shaved ice when she wants a treat lol. I appreciate how they have natural flavors that don't have any artificial colors in them. In addition to the listed natural flavors on their menu, the pina colada and Jamaican rum flavor also have no added artificial color. It's been a while since I had shaved ice. The ice is made to order from a giant block and the texture is super soft like snow. The flavors are spot on too. We've had the watermelon and guava so far and both have been very refreshing, although I prefer the watermelon more if I had choose between the two. The shaved ice has a very tiki-tropical feel to it as they stick a mini umbrella on top when they serve it to you. The toddler absolutely loves this too and tries to use it as a regular umbrella. Service has been friendly and helpful. I also love how the spoons change color from teal to purple if they get cold. If you're looking for a lighter option for a sweet treat you've come to the right place. Details: - Shaved ice is packed in a Styrofoam cup - Smoothies, acai bowls also offered - 3 tables outside + indoor seating - Sugar free and "natural" flavors offered - Back of the plastic spoons have Psalm 34:8 printed on them which is "Taste and see that the LORD is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him."

The shaved ice really is like snow! Nice and cold and refreshing shaved ice. I do feel that ice cream with shave ice makes it 1000% better but the texture of the shave ice here is great and I'm sure we'll be back again as the temperature outside continues to rise

Nico was awesome. Service was great. So many choices. We love our icy treats! Will be back soon.

Marlene C.

Two girls working the counter were friendly and welcoming. They had a few suggestions as it was my first time. I ended up getting a strawberry colada. It was a delicious treat for a hot day! The mini one was perfect & didn't melt quick. This is a treat to be enjoyed right away! Will definitely be back!

So, I've been coming to Bahama Bucks since I was in high school (about 10 years ago). Honestly, the last few months at this specific location, they have been soooo stingy with their syrup. I don't know if it's poor training or if management is straight up telling employees to use as little syrup as possible but this is absolutely the worst it's ever been in my 10 years of coming to Bahama Bucks. The syrup in both mine and my partners shaved ices go about a third of the way? We literally paid $13 just for 2 cups of plain ice. If I wanted plain ice I could have gone to my freezer, chipped away at the frozen sides of it and it would have tasted just as good and it would have been free. Lack of syrup aside: this location also takes around 10 minutes in the drive through per car every time you go (for reference the Mesa location takes about 2 minutes per car). If you really want good shaved ice and want to keep supporting Bahama Bucks, go to the Mesa location because they actually put syrup in it.

Cherry & Coconut Sno Bahama Rama Mama Style - Extra Cream

Sara B.

This place is great for a treat that's not too heavily sweet and a good break from chocolate! They also have sugar-free flavors! I personally love the bahama rama mama style which puts ice cream at the bottom and hawaiian cream mixed throughout your sno - I ask for extra cream. They also now have options for vanilla and chocolate ice cream. They got rid of my favorite cherry colada flavor, so now I mix cherry and coconut which is somewhat similar. DELIVERY: is available through Door Dash DRIVE THRU: is a bit hidden, you have to go around the entire complex (by the Warner side) the side by the door (close to the Veterinarian place) you can see the actual window from there and figure out how to go around RECOMMENDATIONS: Bahama Rama Mama Style (ice cream on the bottom and whipped cream mixed throughout) FLOORS: I have felt this pretty consistent throughout all locations, sometimes the floors are sticky SEATING: is limited, just an FYI

In Houston they call finely shaved ice with flavored syrup a snoball. It's not easy to find a good one because most places have a snow cone with small chunks of ice. There's really no comparison, snoballs are much better and what Bahama Buck's has is an amazing snoball. This location has very friendly servers and the service is quick. Their syrup is much better than other places as well. I had sour raspberry, sour apple and sour grape. The grape was Amazing!!! Not crazy about the apple but the blue raspberry was good. I also like the cute little umbrellas as if you're on vacation. I'm looking forward to trying more flavors. read more

Bahama Buck's is perfect even when it's cold out! Tonight we decided to stop by on our way home. Glad we did cause it was the perfect ending to our day. As usual, we were meant with a friendly smile and a willingness to serve immediately as we pulled up to the drive thru window (myself with a dog and 5 kids under 10 so i was not getting down but I really had a sweet craving). I ordered an Everest size and we split it. It was so huge we had enough for everyone to get almost a whole cup serving. The staff was nice enough to provide extra spoons for the little ones who of course can't get enough of the color changing spoon (ummm...cause it's pretty magical)! The line tonight worked in my favor because as I made a u turn to get in line, the first car left. The car in front pulled forward and must've ordered something small because before I knew it, it was already my turn. Great service and even better shaved ice!!! The bonus is that this location is a mile from me house! #organicad #lfthx read more

I'm so frustrated. They are absolutely addicting and I'm dying to curb my sugar cravings, but I'm thinking of just increasing my physical activity to account for mass intake of Bahama Buck's. I love the half Red Raspberry, half Strawberry. The punch card is pretty sweet, too! Customer service is consistently friendly over on Rural and Warner. Thanks guys! Updated: Still 5 stars, duh. The cotton candy is my new favorite. I brought my sister here, she's from Chicago, and she fell in love! Can you blame her? My husband likes the smoothies and Frozen coffee drinks. Added a pic of his Island Mocha (which tasted like Frozen hot chocolate)! read more

I can't believe I didn't leave a review for this spot earlier. I'm not typically a fan of shaved ice but Bahama Bucks is a game changer! They have a very long list of flavors that can be mixed, even including flavors like birthday cake. Something about the way that they make their shaved ice almost gives it a creamy consistency and every flavor is amazing!! They are reasonably priced and the staff is always so friendly. They even have a drive thru. Love this place!! read more

We went out to dinner for my nephew for his promotion to high school and his favorite place is Bahama's Bucks. Never been here but always saw it driving by. We walk in and it was pretty empty. Huge signs with flavors for snow cones and smoothies. Very over-whelming for the first timer like me. My nephew told me to get the Bahama Rama Mama where they put two scoops of vanilla ice cream at the bottom. I got the Mocha Java Bahama Rama Mama style. That's a lot to say. Can you say that three times really fast. Hahaha. Anyways, what they do is dump two scoops of ice cream at the bottom of you cup then dump this shaved ice one top in a nice big snow ball and dump the flavoring that you chose on top of the ice. Topping it off with a tropical umbrella and a spoon. I got a medium and it was huge. I thought it was really good but very sweet. I guess I would compare this to Rita's and Joe's Italian ice. Italian ice is better but this was really good. BB can give you bigger servings and I think the prices are a little comparable. Noticed a bunch of younger people coming in on a Friday night. Mostly, high school kids. Guess they need that sugar high. The place has a few booths and high top chairs to relax while getting your sugar high. So service was good, fast, and friendly. If your in the area and looking for something to refresh you then this is the place to go. Enjoy. read more

You can never go wrong with this place. They have one of the best shaved ice here in Phoenix and it's one of my favorite place to get dessert. They offer tons of different flavors and I love that you can create any flavor combination. Make sure you get it bahama mama style which comes with ice cream and make sure you add creme your shaved ice. It melts in your mouth and it will satisfy any sweet cravings you have. There usually is a wait but the staff really do try their best to get the orders out as fast as they can. I would also recommend avoiding the drive thru because the wait is twice as long. Overall I've never had a bad experience here and I love the shaved snow here. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because the lines here can get long. Although it's not their fault that the lines are so long, it can be frustrating when you wait over 30 minutes . read more

Best shaved ice! What I love about it is that the texture of the ice is so smooth, its not like eating chunks of ice smothered in syrup. Speaking of smothered, they have a lot of different flavors to try. If you aren't sure, ask the people behind the counter what is good. Not a single spot in your shaved ice goes untouched by the flavoring, they do a good job at not skimping. Personally- blue raspberry, cherry/ strawberry with cream (mixed in, not just on top), and birthday cake are good ways to go. Perfect family spot and they have a drive thru. read more

Okay so my wife freakin LOVES this place. She'd probably shave one of my eyebrows off while I'm sleeping if she knew I was giving this place 3 stars. Now don't get me wrong, it's not a bad thing by any means! With three stars being a base I simply don't have anything to add or remove stars for. It's a great, quality, tasty snow like frozen treat with many flavors to choose from. They're often very busy and the wait and be long, not their fault it's just popular with the school kids. I always get enjoyment out of my treat (I usually get Watermelon with cream), it's just not something I would go out of my way for. They do have lots of options and a friendly staff though. Side note, I would avoid using the drive through. I was at the window for 23 minutes just for two regular drink orders. Not sure if that was an isolated incident or not but I would never use the drive thru again. Everything else was A-okay! read more

Pretty disappointed in this location. I always end up waiting 30/45 minutes because their drive through is always backed up but it's close to my house so I deal with it. Today I was third in line (probably 10 cars behind me) I had ordered 3 drinks, when I got to the window I asked to pay for 1 on one card and the other 2 on another, they didn't know how (which is fine I can Venmo them but I've done it before) then slowly handed out drinks (3/5 minutes waiting between getting them) I noticed they were light on the flavor but I figured it was because they were sitting so long it just went to the bottom, welp I was wrong. They looked light because there was enough juice to change the color slightly and nothing else. If I wanted just straight up blended ice I would have just done it at home and not wasted $15 on something we didn't even get to enjoy. Won't be coming to this location any longer. read more

The email said the new items were available starting May 23rd throughout summer. I love guava flavor so wanted to get their Peach Guava Snow Foam and Peach Guava Green Tea. Unfortunately, they did not have any of the new items available at this location so I went with a Wintermelon Milk Tea, a Mango Orange Jasmine Tea (for the next day) and an Icy Grass Jelly Signature. Wintermelon Milk Tea was good! Perfect sugar level and all. Mango Jasmine Tea was a bit sweet at first but I think it was just all the syrup at the bottom. Only drank 1/2 yesterday and the rest today. The dessert was perfect on a hot day. So cold and refreshing. They give 1 creamer but I feel like 2 would be better. I ended up adding condensed milk for more sweetness. A scoop of ice cream would be a great addition as well. It's a decent sized portion and I ate the entire thing! Now craving more grass jelly desserts!

I was actually there to get a pre workout powder from business next door, Peak Nutrition. And I happened to see on the map there was a juice shop. All in all, great juice. I had the evergreen with beets added. The ladies working at the counter were friendly. Price is on the "higher" end because it's healthy food, which usually comes at a premium. I'm not saying it's expensive. My juice was $8 for the smallest size. Thats same as a latte from a coffee shop or a boba tea. But I'm just saying it's not fast, cheap food. Not sure if they use organic produce. I didn't ask. I would come here again to try a smoothie or other juices. With all the foodz and booze I consumed, I also love healthy stuff. Great to detox my system. Cheers to your health!

"The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight because by then your body and your fat are…read morereally good friends." ― Bob Hope First things first, I think it's absolutely ridiculous that three pounds can be added to the weight from just eating one salad all day. I mean, did I top it generously with a lot of cheese? Yeah. Does the dressing-to-salad ratio make it seem more like a creamy vegetable soup instead? Also, yeah... BUT STILL! Here at Robeks, you can feel like treating yourself while also getting your serving of fruits and vegetables. So far I've tried the Hero's Garden Smoothie (fresh spinach, matcha green tea, pineapple, mango, banana, spirulina, flax seeds, and apple juice) + Trim Burner, Avocado & Egg Toast (avocado and a hard-boiled egg with plant-based bacon, olive oil, pink himalayan salt, and Pepper), and their Fig & Prosciutto Toast (fig spread, prosciutto, cream cheese, a drizzle of olive oil, and cracked black pepper on a thick slice of sourdough toast). Items are about $10 each, so it's not the most cost efficient, but with them being around the corner from my gym, it's hard to resist. Seating is incredibly limited here, so take your goodies to go. I think there was a picnic bench inside and some outdoor seating. It's not a place you go to socialize, really. "I tried every diet in the book. I tried some that weren't in the book.

We love bahama bucks! They have so many flavors it is guaranteed to satisfy everyone. I love the orange flavor with bahama mama rama so it's like an orange creamsicle. The ice cream on the bottom makes it. I give it four stars only because it's a bit over priced for shaved ice and sometimes it takes a while. Other than that, it's great for cooling off in the summer. read more

THE best shaved ice ever! Bahama Bucks in Tempe is totally delish! If you crave nice refreshing treats, this place is an awesome go-to anytime of the year! If you ever are in the area, try a Bahama Rama Mamma. It is Bahama Mamma flavor syrup with this wonderfully sweet cream drizzled over the top and a scoop of vanilla ice cream at the bottom! AMAZING! read more
