So yummy! Take the time to think about what flavor to get, I think I chose wrong lol! But it was still delish. The girls working last night were great!! read more

Bahama Buck's - Shaved Ice Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I love this location and consider it the best one in Albuquerque. I rarely have an issue here, but during my visit today, I noticed a few new faces and experienced a minor order mistake. I ordered a baby size, a small size, and a flat-topped Avalanche. Instead of receiving the proper larger cup size for the flat-topped item, the crew member simply used a standard cup and cut off the domed ice. I was still charged the full price but received less product. I will absolutely continue coming here, but wanted to share this so management can ensure the newer staff is properly trained on how to build and package flat-topped orders read more

Friendly employees, service was quick, but I am giving this 3 stars because there are large chunks of ice both times I went here. I don't expect this to be as good as Hawaiian shave ice, but biting into chunks of ice is unpleasant. read more

Snow cone was great, but even if you get a mini, it's still a lot. Definitely not a place you'd go to every day, but once in a while, kinda the greatest thing ever. read more

Bahama Buck's - Shaved Ice Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I was waiting in line and two workers just stood there, watched us and didn't bother to take our order or the woman in front of us. There was only worker making the snow cones while the others were talking to their friends from behind the counter. The young lady taking the drive through orders was showing bad customer service yelling at the customers over the speaker, waited almost 20 minutes for our snow cones just for them be mostly ice and no flavoring. Would drive extra just to not come here again. read more

Some of the positive and happy employees I've seen in awhile. Whatever management is doing, keep it up. Trying the mangonada extreme for the first time. Well my Mangonada Extreme was extreme but very good. I got what I expected and so much more!! The mangos, the spicy the straight up deliciousness made my day read more

This place is so much fun! Especially on a hot day to walk in and see all of the beach decor and all of the bright colors is really refreshing! The menu is enormous and there is absolutely something for everyone. I would recommend taking a look at the menu before you go because the options are endless. The young people behind the counter are friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. The shaved ice is outstanding down to the amount of flavoring and presentation. Tons of seating inside as well as games for the family to play. I was amazed at the low amount of calories in this treat and will probably be choosing it over ice cream in the near future. So glad we found this little gem in our neighborhood, we will most definitely be back. read more

The hubby wanted a slushee so I took him here to try shaved ice. He loved it. There's lots of yummy flavors. There was a poster promoting Fiesta Flavors, too...I dunno if that's seasonal, but the ones that caught my eye were horchata, mango and melon (you can add chili salt or chamoy). There's lots of skinny flavors. You can get ice cream on the bottom. You can add picadilly...I have no idea what that is. There's a fun party pack for a very reasonable price which could be a unique choice if you're having friends over. There's plenty of seating inside. Lot parking available very close to the door. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There's a drive thru!!! As we're leaving my hubby told me he'd be back tomorrow. read more

Bahama Buck's - Shaved Ice Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I have always loved Bahama Buck's! I was here on opening day because I was so excited that Albuquerque was getting one. We had one in Texas when I was growing up and I am so thrilled with this location. It feels like home to me! Because I live the Keto lifestyle, I've had to give up sweets. But I don't have to give up my beloved Bahama Buck's thanks to their Thin Ice! They have a ton of zero carb snow cone flavors that are to die for! I'm like a little kid every time we go and I get to choose a new flavor! Seriously! My husband is obsessed with the black cherry with cream and ice cream! Can you blame him? Everything is so good here! And you can even get kits to go to have your own snow cone party or snow balls to throw! read more

What's not to enjoy when eating 'yellow' snow ha! Clean inside. One issue, well MY issue is deciding what I should order! The coffee ice drinks are well, I meal in themselves! I always try, I mean I really do try. Try not ordering the larger size! An array of flavors, so every time I go in for the 'snow' I order a different flavor. Yes, I stay away from the yellow ha! read more

First time at a BB, Went through the drive through. Speaker attendant was kind enough to give us a but to look over the menu as we were overwhelmed with the options lol. Luckily no one was behind us! We finally ordered a cheesecake snow cone and a cherry lime. The window attendant was kind and quick. The desserts were huge and tasty. I thought the flavor was cheesecake and was pleasantly surprised when there was cheesecake the entire second half! read more

Professional snow cones. I don't get the big deal, but my Texan wife loved this place. Something about reliving her college years. Kids were happy read more

Fun place. I am obsessed with snow cones and wanted to give this place a try. There were so many flavors, combinations, and options (creme or no creme that is the question??). I got the small (12 oz) toasted coconut/ red raspberry mix (normally I just go for a blue raspberry flavor). The "snow" was soft and different from so many carnival snow cones. It's a little pricier than most places, but it sure is worth it. The umbrellas are fun and it's a great place to come with friends or take one to go through the drive-through. I'm looking forward to getting my wisdom teeth out, just as an excuse to come here several days in a row and not get the side glance ;) read more

Bahama Buck's - Toasted coconut/ red raspberry :) - Shaved Ice Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

This place is always good and has never disappointed. I love all the different selections of shaved ice they have and different combinations is all great! My personal favorite is the pina colada, it's so delicious and flavorful. I'll always be here especially in the summer during a hot day. The inside is clean and the staff is very friendly. Thank you: Bahama Buck's read more

This is my first time at Bahama Buck's! It's located in the ulta, Bed bath and beyond (recently closed), medical spa, etc parking lot. I actually thought it was a coffee shop because of the outside marketing and the drive thru. I finally stopped in and found a free shaved ice with checkin on the yelp app. I ordered a baby size (8oz) passion fruit and strawberry with the bahama mama addition (ice cream only). This place was really busy! We didn't know what we wanted so it gave us time to look at the menu. We only had to wait a few minutes before our order was ready. It seems like most people go through the drive thru or get it to go. There were only a few customers eating inside. The three young employees inside were friendly and welcoming. The shaved ice was fine for the desert, but nothing comparable to the shaved ice you'd find in Hawaii. It cost us $6 including the discount. The price is a little high for me compared to another dessert I would get somewhere else. This place also sells all kinds of smoothies, hot chocolate frozen drinks, açaí bowls and smoothies! read more

We love the drink options there are plenty to choose from. Our beverage was so delicious we've been back twice now . Perfect for a hot summer day read more

My new Summer Favorite! Ahhh how I love shaved Ice! This place is fast and efficient. They had a good crowd come in and we added to that. With in 10 minutes we were munching on our delicious concoctions of flavor. Such a nice treat to have when we were out in the heat all day. There was a promotion going on when we went in and they took a buck (BAHAMA BUCKS GOING AROUND!) off each order. Good for a nice cool down...I'll be back to terminate some more ice. read more

Bahama Buck's - Tiger's Blood and Horchata - Shaved Ice Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

This particular location has a drive thru. Yay! Just for that, this location automatically earns two stars. The other star is for the nice and efficient employees. The only reason why this place doesn't have more stars is because the inside area would be packed if the maximum number of allowable occupants crowded this place before fire code was hit; otherwise, I am a fan of this Bahama Buck's. TIP: make use of the punch card. read more

This has been my second visit and both times have been busy. Excellent flavored snow, busy service has been so-so both times. Not much seating and it's crowded and the tables have been dirty too. Hopefully they'll get either a bigger place or more workers because something needs to change for the better. Also I noticed that some workers dropped some cups and put it back on the shelf instead of throwing it away first. Once they streamline their process and work out a few kinks I think it would be better. I'll have to come back and do a periodic check to see if there is any improvement. read more

I am a proud Hawaiian in every sense of the word: my first food was poi, I had a Hawaiian feast at my graduation party, I eat poke bowls like nobody's business, and I'm a proud shave ice connoisseur. I was looking for my favorite cold sweet treat in ANQ and stumbled on Bahama Buck's. Let me break it down for you now. Pros: - Great fine quality shave ice. No chunks at all. - Wide variety of flavors including "natural" no sugar added flavors. - Smoothies for those who aren't as into shave ice as I am - Fun tropical drink umbrellas in the shave ice. A cute touch. Cons: - At this location, there wasn't a single clean table in the establishment. Tables had visible drops of shave ice remnants, paper trash, etc. - Syrup-less shave ice. My gf and I got smalls with ice cream. Now, there isn't really a good reason to underpour the syrup in such a small size. My gf got two bites into her shave ice before realizing that the rest of her cup was filled with fine, white, syrup-less shave ice. Overall, the experience wasn't terrible. It was a nice treat while getting some shade from the spring sun. read more

Bahama Buck's - Small shave ice with ice cream - Shaved Ice Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I've only gotten the Airhead extreme, but I tried everyone else's, and they were all good. A small was plenty. Worried about the sugar load, but the caloric content suggests that it's not worse, or at least not that much worse, than having a soda. If you can get that kind of positive reaction from taking people to essentially buy them a soda, you've found Shangri-la. I'm not taking a star away, because my eye drifts to where the cashier's fingers are holding the inside of the cup before it's filled, or where an inch-long part of the edge of the cup is frayed. That's like complaining about the tax implications of winning the lottery. read more

So good! Alwayys love Bahama Bucks; this location was a little slow, and I had to repeat my order multiple times at the window after placing it to ensure I got the right items. However, the guy at the window was super nice and apologetic for the inconvenience, so I wasn't bothered by that. My snow cone was on par, and the strawberry lemonade was the best I've ever tasted! Yum! read more

There was no flavor in either of our snocones. It was just shaved ice. This location somehow always messes up my orders. Wasted 2 of my "free sno-cone" coupons on this. read more

Bahama Buck's - a bowl of ice cream - Shaved Ice Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

This is heaven! In my opinion, I've tried so many shaved ice spots and it came to my conclusion, this place hits the spot! You can combine any flavored and they different sizes as well. They have smoothies here. These shaved ice have creme if you ask them to put and I think that's why I like their shaved ice, Cz of the creme. I'm not really sure if they have real fruits in the menu, Cz Every time I come here, I always go for a peach and mango shaved ice. It would be great if they had some (: read more

Bahama Buck's - Heaven! - Shaved Ice Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Think of a flavor, any flavor and im sure they offer it Bahama Bucks. Shaved ice with flavored syrup. Or shaved ice with flavored syrup and ice cream, or a blended ice cream and syrup with shaved ice. The only complaint i have is they don't offer children's sizes. Some locations have a convenient drive -thru. During business hours parking may be a little tricky but be patient one will open soon. Its a quick sweet treat perfect for warm days. read more

I love Bahama Buck's! The snow cones are delicious only comparable to those in Hawaii! I would strongly recommend getting the "BAHAMA RAMA MOMA" it adds cream on the top and ice cream on the bottom. That being said I have also gotten the original and loved it! My preference for syrups are mango and peach. I would advise you that the line to order can be a little lengthy both in store and on their drive through. There are so many different flavors and it can sometimes be overwhelming since they have three flavors that are all just coconut. But I'm happy to report they taste very different. The sizes are confusing, I usually get either a small or regular since the sizes are so big and I can never finish it. Overall I love this place and go regularly, wonderful place for kids and adults! read more

Since Bahama Bucks has opened my family and I have been able to enjoy one of my favorite Texas treats. Bahama Bucks must have some shaved ice scientists hiding in the back because they have the softest, most delicious snow cones I have ever tried in my life. This location is wonderful because of their drive-though, which is convenient when I don't want high school kids to see me run in. Sometimes there are long lines and waits, but I can assure you it is totally worth it. You must try their "Bahama Rama Mama" style snow cones that include ice cream at the bottom. read more

Amazing flavored ice. The consistency was more powered snow like, than ice. Practically melted in my mouth. They have a large amount of flavors and you can mix and match. They have ice mixed with ice cream as well. I had the horchata flavor and man was that amazing. They served it with cinnamon sugar on top. They give you a spoon that changes colors when dipped into the ice - so cool. This is a nice change from your normal ice cream shop, as it isn't as filling. I normally have Ralph's back in NY, so it was nice to see a different twist on the flavored ice. I would definitely recommend this to any one looking for a sweet treat without all of the bloating. Haha. 5 stars. read more

The bahama Rama mama is always the best. The small size does the work! The perfect size for shave ice! read more

I recently visited Bahama Buck's with my cousin for the first time....she's was bragging about how awesome this place was and I couldn't agree more! I got a coconut smoothie and she ordered the sweet-tart shaved ice, it tasted like a giant chewy sweet-tart and was sooo good! They were served with cute little umbrella's giving it a total tropical feel. They had a huge menu and I can't wait to go back and try everything! (Bonus...they have a drive thru!) read more

Just found out about this place yesterday by accident! Located in the northeast heights area, this is the only DRIVE THRU shaved ice place I've ever been too! It's the perfect place to grab a cool summer treat without even having to get out of your car! I ordered the small cherry coconut shaved ice that came complete with a spoon and little blue umbrella! Tasted really good and hit the spot on a hot summer day. Menu had ice cream, coffee drinks and shaved iced, so I'll def be back to try something else. read more

I go to the Bahama Bucks on Holly and Ventura and I love them! Always friendly and fast even though their team is pretty young. I also love the drive through feature which they're able to navigate quickly. If you check in on Yelp, they give a BOGO sno which is a really nice perk. I rarely stick to the same thing at restaurants because I love trying things, especially here since they have TONS of flavors but I have to say that Birthday Cake with ice cream is my absolute favorite! I usually go for the traditional watermelon or fruity snow cone but this one is just So good! One time I went through the drive through and ordered a small toasted coconut sno and I think they accidentally gave me a birthday cake with ice cream sno but I was really happy because it was so good. However, the next time I went, I ordered toasted coconut because I thought that's what I had received the previous time and it just wasn't as good. Either way, had I tried to return the incorrect sno (which I didn't realize at the time was incorrect) I don't doubt they would have happily obliged to make the correct one. read more

So I was at the new Ulta on Paseo and said to myself, I need a snow cone! I know that "shaved ice" is the new way to say snow cone, but I am old school! The line was crazy, but I did not care. When I was looking at the flavor list, I was surprised to see Tiger's Blood, it took me back to the 1970's when I would visit the snow cone stand in my family's hometown of Falfurrias, Texas....I always ordered Tiger's Blood. Funny though, because I thought it was only there that I could order that!! Great memories. Anyway, it was a great snow cone and those Bahama Buck girls were working like crazy, they never skipped a beat. Great Job girls, way to hustle. read more
