| - Way back when (and I mean waaaay back) I used to go to Bahama Bucks A LOT with my dad and sister when they had a location on Mill Ave. After that location closed (or moved) BB just kind of fell off our radar. We knew they had opened other locations, but they were further away and we just kind of moved on.
Recently my dad had heard about this location and he goes here quite a bit now with my mom and sister. Over the past six months or so he has been in and out of the hospital quite a bit (he's now on the up & up) and a lot of what he's been through has affected his taste buds and ability to swallow (for now...things are getting back to normal), so this this place has been a godsend for him. When I was in town for the Christmas holiday we came here twice, and it was as good as I remembered.
This is not just any kind of shaved ice. It's very fine (no big chunks of ice) so you can really taste whatever flavor(s) you get and it doesn't taste real "icy." Speaking of flavors, this place has a TON (I'm guessing close to 100), with everything from your basic fruit flavors to wedding cake and sun devil (ask them to describe it). In addition, several flavors are sugar-free. They also have smoothies, and although I've never tried one they look and sound delicious!
Yeah, the place is located in strip mall (I honestly don't know this area very well. However, you can tell it's not quite Scottsdale, but it's not south Phoenix either), but the actual place itself is nice with plenty of seating. There is drive-thru and they also do punch cards (buy so many get one free).
Despite the fact this place isn't real close to my parents house and there are plenty of places that have icees or some kind of variation of shaved ice in the Phoenix area I would make the extra effort to come to Bahama Bucks because it really is THAT good!
