    Pink bubble gum shaved ice

    If you like shaved ice this is the place to be. Lots of flavors, fairly quick service, and good value. They don't skimp on syrup!

    Wait for it... wait for it... there IS a place to get snow cones in Columbus! After searching high and low for the past decade, this southern transplant finally got his fix - thanks to some research by Susie R. Bubba's is really off the radar. They never update Facebook, aren't listed on any social media site or review site, and they don't even have an address. Yeah, this trip took perseverance. I called Bubba's and spoke to the owner, and he gave me the scoop: -Yes, they're really a business. -They're only open seasonally... and not when it rains. -They have another location in Lithopolis (is that really a place?). Susie and I headed over today to see if this unicorn really existed... and lucky for us, it does! This is seriously just a little shack in the middle of a parking lot in Grove City. Here are a few things to note: -They only take cash. -They might be closed on a whim. -There is nowhere really to sit. Bubba's claims to be "New Orleans"-style snow cones, but they don't quite hit the mark for that ballsy claim. A true Southern snow cone is super soft - not these icy crappy ones I find at festivals in Ohio. Bubba's snow cones are soft, but not quite like back home. If I were in Louisiana, I would give this place 3 stars. But since it's the ONLY FREAKING PLACE near Columbus, I'm bumping it up a star. The snow cones are good, but not the best I've ever had. The flavors are all artificially flavored and colored, which is not usually my thing - but again, it's the only place in town. But here's the real test - would I make the drive back to GC for another snow cone? Absolutely.

    Plum!

    I love this place. As s matter of fact, I've already been there 5 times this summer. Can't speak for the other flavors, but Plum is awesome. This isn't like the sno cones you get that are hard as a rock and end up having all of the flavor soak out. They use lots of syrup and the ice doesn't clump up.

    All your sweet cravings satisfied! Don't be afraid to try something new. Everything we ordered were…read moredelish..we had the: 1. Mango Yonami - awesome mango sort of smoothie loaded with toppings and mango bits. 2. Ube halo-halo is just this explosion of multiple diff toppings. Two thumbs up. 3. Smash avocado - smoothie made w/ fresh avocado with bubbles and boba. Yum! 4. Brown sugar milk tea - oh the bobas were cooked to perfection! We also tried the pandan mochi waffle.. that was good too! Service was fast and friendly, place was bright and clean. Sweet happy tummy!

    I RARELY give 5 star ratings. But everything about this place was just right!…read more The drinks/food: Let's start with the scent of doughy & crispiness in the air from the moment I walked in. Must have been from the waffles & although that's not something I'd normally consider ordering, one whiff & I was craving them sooo bad! Not to mention that the prospect of exciting versions of them (like Pandan or Ube) made me want to ruin my dinner plans. So after I gained some self control, I ordered what seems like the healthiest & lighest drink up there. It just happened to also have all the flavors of things I adore. The Bambu Special is coconut meat, pandan jelly, brown longan, basil seed (think similar to a chia seed) & coconut water. All this with a crushed ice ball on top. Wow!! So subtle yet flavorful at the same time. I can't wait to make my way down their entire menu . The service: Another wow! The woman behind the counter was so nice & helpful. I mentioned how I like that it's a Vietnamese drink shop & she mentioned that her sister (I think an owner) & herself were both from Cambodia...one of my favorite places I've traveled to. It all made sense as the kindest people in all my travels were in Cambodia. She gave me future recommendations & I promised to return! The atmosphere: Clean, bright, variety of styled of seats, couches, high tops, & greenery walls that have cute neon signs. Wish this place was closer because it definitely had a coffee shop vibe. As a boba addict, I think I might have to pick this place over all the amazing boba options in that area & that's saying a lot! Please go try these goodies for yourself & support our local business owners!
