| - WHAT IN THE WORLD DID I JUST EAT?
Also, why have I not eaten this before? Our little one was so patient for 2+ hours in the MVD, so we came here to get him a treat (based on previous Yelp reviews). The intention was: pop in, get the kid something cool and sugary, slip out. Seeing the menu, the restaurant, and speaking to the staff, my wife and I knew that we had to try this treat out, as well.
First, any staff that goes out of their way to recommend samples and offer alternatives is okay in my book. After an intense interrogation of the poor cashier, we ordered a Snickerdoodle on ice cream, a Birthday Cake, and a creamy Strawberry/Banana for the midget. Anyone that has tried their shaved ice knows that they absolutely blew us away.
Now, I've eaten many snow cones while out on the beach during summer vacations, etc. but those were distinctly crushed ice + flavored liquid and the inconsistent ratio between the top tip of pure ice and the bottom puddle of syrup was just something I had learned to be an inherent part of the shaved ice experience. BOY, was I wrong!
The "Sno" from Bahama Buck's is incredibly fine, and the flavoring is spot-on. I truly don't have words to describe the consistency and taste of that incredible, mountainous cup of goodness. I turned to my wife and said, "this is where we are bringing every person that visits us." That good.
