Aidan is the absolute best. I wish we still had Bahama bucks in Orange County CA but he made us miss it even more especially because of his customer service. Thanks so much!

Service was amazing! Super quick! Friendly staff! Reagan was amazing. Prices are great. Love all the different promotions.

My elementary school years I experimented with many different root beers. My favorite was Hires Root Beer. In my college years Hires disappeared from California. I could get it for a few more years in Yuma then it disappeared from Arizona as well. I was surprised to see it on the menu at Bahama Bucks. I ordered my favorite childhood drink. It was sweet and had that unique root beer flavor I love. Great drink. Another visit I tried a root beer and lychee shaved ice. I notice they have a classic Hawaiian shave ice machine which uses a big ice block to create the fluffiest ice I've eaten. Lychee flavor was a bit sour and didn't taste like lychee. I wouldn't get that flavor again. Root beer was sweet and had delicious root beer flavor. I'd get it again. The ice here is of the finest quality. The syrup is a bit hit or miss. Wish they had taster flights so I could sample the various syrups. Next time I visit Arizona I'll have to return to Bahama Bucks and get another Hires Root Beer.

I love all this sour red stuff at the bottom of my sour patch kids shaved ice definitely could have done better..

I just absolutely felt compelled to leave this specific location a wonderful review after my experience last night as a door dasher. I do frequently visit this location as well with my family, so I hope management sees this. You had three young ladies working their tails off, communicating with each other properly and with literally a line out of the door. I just want to give a special shout out to the taller blonde barista, and I wish I caught her name, that helped me with my delivery. Not only was she slammed making drinks, but she happily assisted me with a huge smile on her face. Apologized for the wait but was so incredibly pleasant I was actually surprised, that is not something I encounter often in a busy establishment and especially from the younger generation. As a fine dining server and hospitality worker, you have a gem right there and she should be acknowledged!! read more

Love BB, but notice that the employees don't wash their hands when they come out of the back room. We walked in and no one was in the seating area. So the employees were in the back.

I came in today around lunchtime and had the BEST experience. Jaelyn was there and she had just dealt with a really difficult customer. She shook it off and provided quick, happy service. I was blown away by how friendly and professional she was. I went to Bahama Bucks for amazing shaved ice and what I got was an amazing experience. Being in customer service, I know that creating an experience is important and not always easy to do, especially when customers don't treat you well. It takes a special person. I've been to Bahama Bucks 100+ times over the decades and this is the first review I've felt prompted to give. Thanks, Jaelyn, for brightening my day!

I remember Bahama Bucks from my old ASU days. When one of the girls said let's go I was happy to! I was glad to see one was down the street from where we were, so plus plus! It is in the strip mall in a huge plaza. It is by the Native New Yorker. It was pretty packed on a Saturday night, so we waited for about 10 mins in line before it was our turn to order. Ordered and then waited another 10 mins before our order was completed. I ordered the blue coconut with cream, YUM! I only had a baby size, it was just right!!! read more

Amazing! Had a great time there not only because the shaved ice was amazing but because the environment they created was fun! Games, coloring pages, ring toss all kept the kids entertained and it was nice being together. Maybe employees were helpful with flavors and made a few choices that we could pick from. Each flavor I tried was great and refreshing. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun night out (that is not on the expensive side!) read more

So I'm sitting in my house in Oklahoma, wishing I was in Mesa so I could go get a baby strawberry-colada with cream. It just sounds so, so good right now. I miss Bahama Bucks. It was a fun treat while I was growing up and then turned into a fun treat for my kids. We would go in almost once a week, and every time I'm home, I home visiting, BB is a place I must go. The couply that owns this particular franchise is fantastic. They get to know their regulars and definitely are great people. read more

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. I like to enjoy a warm beverage with my dessert and I couldn't imagine doing it in there. We opted to eat in our car Service was friendly and patient. We arrived on a Saturday around 1130 am and their was plenty of items available Can't wait to come back

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!

It was busy with people picking up orders, but our wait was only about 10 minutes, and the cashier was very friendly. I honestly loved my Mediterranean bowl. The combination of hummus, couscous, tzatziki, and all the fresh flavors was something different, and I'd definitely order it again. My husband wasn't nearly as impressed, and my son had a hard time finding a sauce he liked. He ended up eating only half of his bowl. Unfortunately, the price was hard to overlook. Spending over $50 for three bowls and drinks felt expensive. Add in the loud music and an employee who acted like I was inconveniencing her when I asked for a different sauce, and it took away from the experience. For me personally, the food earns high marks, but as a family restaurant, it didn't quite hit the mark. I'd come back solo if I was craving Mediterranean, but probably not with the whole family.
