Gelato is something I love to indulge on occasion, and after a couple Yelper friends reviewed, I had this on my radar to try. When my friends today mentioned wanting dessert after lunch, I suggested this as it was in proximity to where we met for ramen. The owner (I presume) greeted us and so did his brother who was seated in the lobby. They boasted it was the best gelato in Arizona, and it was authentic like Italy. I was skeptical at first as a lot can talk a big game, but then you try it and it's average. Stracciatella is a classic flavor and one of my favorites, so I requested a sample. It was very creamy, but the dark chocolate helped cut the sweetness. I ordered a piccolo (small) and it was just the right size for a treat. My friends ordered behind me and I found a spot for us to sit and chat. The interior is mostly tables for two chairs, but we made a table of three. In the future, I'd probably grab to go as it's fairly small. Still a solid choice for a sweet treat and I would recommend it if you are in the area.

I opted for the Ham and cheese croissant, and the sausage croissant. Both breading was fantastic. Good flavor, airy yet crispy, just really well made. I will definitely come back for the ham and cheese croissant. The sausage croissant wasn't really for me (the bread was) it truly is a big sausage in there. It had good flavor, just isn't for me. If they could make just a plain cheese or bacon and cheese that would hit the spot lol We also got their regular cinnamon roll. The breading had a lovely sweet cinnamon flavor and the icing on top had a delicious creamy taste without being overly sweet. The odd part for us was the filling in the inside. I couldn't decide if I cared for it or not, I was almost feeling it was pushing the sweetness over just a bit so l may or may not get that again. Even tho they have seating inside, it feels more like a grab and go. You can def enjoy your item there. But I wouldn't say a spot where you can sit and catch up with a Friend or read a book. It also felt a bit too warm and stuffy so cranking down the AC a bit would help it feel more inviting especially from coming outside from the Arizona heat.

Located in the same shopping center as a movie theater, a Japanese restaurant, and a bunch of other businesses, I parked without any issues in the free back lot and walked over. Ambiance (4/5): A cozy dessert shop. I felt right at home when I saw a map of Bucharest by the entrance. You order at the counter and then they bring your order out to you. We sat at a table close to the door. Service (5/5): Friendly service and we were fortunate enough to chat with the owner for quite a bit. We learned about the history of the dessert spot and how they're trying out some new ideas. Nice lady. Drinks (N/A): No drinks for me on this visit. Food (5/5): If you've never has a chimney cake, you're in for a treat. They're made to order and customizable. More so than anywhere I've ever seen. You choose your base, toppings, additions, and drizzles. I went with the traditional chimney cake with Biscoff cookies, vanilla ice cream, and Nutella drizzle. Outside of the dessert options, which are the way to go for first timers, if you're feeling adventurous, they also have one or two savory options. The chimney cakes are served warm and absolutely delicious. They're filling too so come with an appetite. It's one of those things everyone should try at least once in their lifetime. So cool to have them in Mesa!

My mom and I went to the Bahama Bucks on Mesa Drive and Southern thru the drive thru and ordered two shaved icee's. Since I was driving, I had my mom hold mine until I arrived home. We realized when we got home that there were little bug/like inside the icee's.... I scooped one out and saw that it started to move! I looked thru a magnifying glass and took pictures/videos and realized it was a scorpion! I put the scorpion in a glass jar, along with the Cherry Bahama Buck and drove back to the store to show them what I had found. To my dismay, the young manager refused to look at the icee and the scorpion I had placed in a jar. He offered to give me another one, but I felt very uneasy and just asked for my money back. He rudely refused and walked away from the window. I stayed there very hurt and embarrassed hoping he would come back as I was very concerned about other people purchasing and possibly getting bugs in theirs... I called police to make a report of the possible dangers of scorpions and they directed me to call Bahama cooperate and the health department. The following day I did! I am very saddened about this rude, disgusting incident...! read more

Found this gem while searching the entire Phoenix area for Hawaiian shaved ice and went in with high expectations--- if you're a Hawaiian shaved ice fan VS Italian shaved ice then you know how easily disappointed you can get with the quality of your ice. Well, Bahama Bucks does not disappoint.... There are tons of flavors, smoothies, drinks, optional add ons, they use real fruit, affordable pricing AND a buy 10 get 11th free punch card, helpful and cheerful employees, a line out the door that moves quickly but quality of product does not suffer! And a drive thru too.... Etc etc etc the list goes on and on. We NEED one in Atlanta read more
