This has easily become one of my fave dessert spots in Tucson! The quality of the shaved ice is SOOOOO good, closest thing to the actual real Hawaiian shaved ice. So many different flavor combinations to choose from that I haven't tried the same thing twice yet! My faves so far are the Sweet Hurricane and Dr Pepper SnoBlasts. I also love that they are open pretty late (until 10pm) and have a drive thru! Although we mainly eat inside becuz it takes me forever to decide on a flavor hehe Staff is always super nice and inside is always really clean. Looking forward to my son's first birthday cuz we plan on ordering the catering package (: read more

This place was yummers! would recommend to friends and famila! This place has some of the most awesome sauce ice cream/shaved ice i've ever laid my taste buds on! read more

Wow! I'm so upset I just now discovered this place! I pass by it all the time but you can't tell what it is just from passing by! They should definitely invest in having some signage with pictures of the delicious concoctions! That would definitely cause people to stop in! We only came by because I Yelped the closest "ice cream shop" and they popped up with a few others but the Yelp pics got my attention and that was it! The inside is decorated in a beachy/Hawaiian-themed feel and super cute! Their large array of syrups are on full display. They also offer yummy drinks. I had their Tiger's Blood shave ice with ice cream & sweetened condensed milk on top - OH MY! I got the small but next time I'll opt for the mini as they are HEFTY-sized! The young girls at our service were super friendly and helpful. The only thing I saw that needed attention was their outdoor seating. Tables need a good scrub with soap and a power washer to clean the patio. We felt very welcomed and look forward to coming back very soon! read more

I came to bahama bucks twice within a couple days and the service was awful. My order was incorrect the second time around and i was not given any chance to correct it at the window because it was shut in my face. They took quite a long time to make just TWO snow cones. When i finally got everything i wasn't even told goodbye, just handed my drinks and rolled her eyes. read more

Sunday afternoon. Drive thru - ordered two $11 smoothies of same flavor and a fountain soda. 25 minutes total in line after placing order with just one car ahead and three customers inside. One smoothie lacked any flavoring at all - just purely vanilla. My first time thru. My last. read more

I came in for the first time today, so glad the two girls were amazing. I got an extreme Mangonada and my daughter got a gummy bear so delicious. I give this a five star if anybody wants to try this out they will not not be just as amazed as myself Wonderful! The atmosphere was very inviting extremely clean and very delicious. Thank you so much for your hospitality. I will definitely make this one of my go to.S read more

They were so patient when we came with 3 littles under 8. And it was yum! Each little said they were getting the orange cream one next time! read more

Who would have know there are shaved places outside of Kona Ice trucks and the fair! Right around the corner from a family member's house we found our way to Bahama Bucks for dessert. They have a wide variety of flavors and toppings. They also offer smoothies and shake like drinks. I tried the orange creamsicle with a tropical topping. It was really good with a creamy center. They have seating inside. They are open later which is nice. I am a fan of this as a lighter treat option. read more

Great service , just came here to complain about no credit card tips ? Cash only ? That's ridiculous , treat your workers better

I will drive 45 minutes just for one of their delicious snos. The staff is always helpful and pleasant, their menu has something for everyone and the taste can seriously not be matched. They have perfected the sno cone. So many flavor options, they have something for everyone. Bahama bucks is always one of my go to spots when I'm having a craving for something sweet. Check this place out, you will NOT regret it. read more

Love the strawberry bliss! The pina colada soda is good too! They have smoothies, snow cones, good delicious cool treats. Right now the drive thru is the only service point (even if you do pick up). I did pick up on Postmates and it was ready when I arrived. FYI They as you to wear a mask even in the drive thru for safety. Staff was nice and friendly read more

I haven't heard of Bahama Buck's until just recently. So my girlfriend and I finally tried 2 of their smoothies. I tried the Bahama Colada and she had the Mango Dragonfruit. They were both very tasty and full of flavors. We decided to go through the drive thru and the gentleman was courteous and fast. The prices I felt for the product were a little high, but I will return to try something different next time. Don't forget your umbrella!!! read more

We drove 30-minutes to eat here (daughter wanted a snow-cone). They were huge! Great flavor, and the candy on top was mixed throughout. Please come to Louisville, KY! read more

There's 4 employees tonight and all 4 are talking taking their time. No cars. When we got our snow cone there was barely any flavor and all ice at the bottom. At $5 plus and it being one of the only things they serve on the menu, you would think it's hard to mess up. It was not busy at all. These employees are not working for free, bare minimum expectation is for them to do their job correctly. Their solution was to fill my cup with juice. Terrible experience. An adult needs to be present as these kids clearly cannot and should not be running this establishment by themselves. read more

If you're looking for a refreshing treat in this heat this is the place! If you're a first timer like me, I'd suggest going inside so you can look over the extensive amount of flavor options. They have a great selection of sugar free flavors as well. This was nice to see as most sugar free are just your average flavors. I opted for half and half of sugar free pina colada and coconut. They were both delicious. The service was fast and friendly. read more

Great experience at this refreshing "dessert" oasis. With so many fantastic flavors to choose from, it's hard to imagine anyone not finding something they love. Their options include their original shaved ice available in dozens of flavors, a tasty variety of flavored iced mochas, sodas and lots of smoothies to choose from. I went with the blue coconut shaved ice with cream. It was so delicious. The blue coconut flavor was so yummy and it totally took me back to my childhood when I'd chase down the snowcone truck driver with my 25 cents in hand. The shaved ice here is brilliantly light yet the flavor is strong and well incorporated. The cream was swirled in quite nicely creating a somewhat creamy mouthfeel every few bites. It was just great. As an added bonus, they have these neat color changing spoons that change based on temperature. Pretty fun! The service was good, the prices are fair, and with so many options to choose from, this place is a no-brainer. It's great relief for a hot day and with their loyalty punch card, you get a free drink/smoothie/shaved ice after you've purchased 10!!! 5 stars. read more

Bahama Buck's - Tucson - Really yummy blue coconut shaved ice with cream swirled all throughout. Killer!!! - Shaved Ice Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I stopped by this place today to give it a shot. I ordered the bomb pop and I believe it was the blue coconut because I love bomb pops and coconut on almost anything tastes better. The cup came with the colors of a bomb pop and a a whole bomb Popsicle stuck inside. The coconut was blue and had a cute little umbrella as decoration. It's cool how they stick with a theme. The bomb pop drink tasted like a bomb pop and was very sweet at first few bites. I had to get used to the sweetness one small bite at a time, but once I mixed up all the flavors it was nice especially towards the bottom. I was full after the bomb pop but I did take a few bites and I really enjoyed the coconut flavor. I put that in the freezer for Sunday football treat. To describe the ice and flavors in these drink would be somewhere between a snow cone and a Mr Misty from DQ. The ice is fluffy, light and airy. It holds the flavored syrup very well. I would like to go try a sour flavor like lemon to compare with my Eegees favorite. When I do try it I'm sure with todays results I can see me bumping this star review up higher. It was different and I liked it. read more

Absolutely delicious my husband always says no one makes a cherry snow/ slush correct and he had absolutely nothing to say other than AMAZING! I tried the blue sour patch and it was good personally too much sour gel and the staff were understanding and made me a different one, with that being said the wacky watermelon is AMAZING truly my fave. We will be back when in Tucson again read more

This was my first time here. No line to order. I did take a while to decide what I wanted, so many good looking choices. I ordered and sat to wait. There were 5 girls working behind the counter and seemed to be going non stop. About 3 or 4 customers ordered after me. After a bit I realized people that ordered after me had their order. Not knowing what they got, I thought maybe there's was a fast item and didn't think much of it. 20 minutes after ordering and everyone else waiting had their order, I went to the counter to see where mine was. When one of the girls further back from the counter heard my name, she stop walked over to a cup and said "it's over here, it was put in the wrong place. I'll redo the top." I waited a few more minutes for the top to be redone then finally got my shaved ice. The top was pretty tasty and enjoyable. When I got to the section that wasn't redone, It was a mushy mess of the two flavors. I'd expect this as I near the middle to bottom of the cup, not at the very top. Who knows how long my order and been sitting in the wrong spot. And if an employee knew it was put in the wrong place why wasn't something done about it right away. read more

Its never let us down! Solid place for a flavorful cooldown treat in the Tucson heat.

So appreciative of their drive through service. Although it was slower than what seemed reasonable, the service was friendly and the product was delicious! My daughter has had this particular drink before at the Bahama Buck's in Chandler, but she said that THIS ONE was the best she'd ever had. Not sure what was different but it got rave reviews from my teenager. read more

Got diabetes and need a sugar intake? Go here to avoid your insulin dropping. Need a quick yet amazingly delicious shaved ice with a million flavors to choose from treat? Go here. Hot as hell outside and trying to cool down? Go here. Craving shaved ice w/ice cream in the middle? Go here. No matter how you look at it, this place is amazing. When I lived in the area I found myself here at least once a week during our long summer heatwaves that never seem to go away until October of each year. The flavors are fantastic, the staff is always happy, they stack those shaved ice mountains of heaven nice and high, and you can get snowballs to go! (always good to pelt the girlfriend/wife in their sleep with) !!!! Oh and if you are a Tiger King fan, you can get Tiger's Blood flavor on your shaved ice mountain. read more

Went here with family. They have a ton of flavors to choose from and a variety of beverages - besides shaved ice- like smoothies. The ice is very fine - like soft snow! They also have bunch of games to play. We played Uno and Dominos. There is also a nice outdoor area with games. read more

One warm winter day in Tucson, a sudden hankering for shaved ice came over me. We'd passed by Bahama Buck's many times and made a mental note to stop by soon. They have drive-through service but we decided to savor the experience on site. Being a newbie, I needed some time to peruse the extensive menu. I decided on a regular-sized Strawberry Cheesecake shaved ice with vanilla ice cream. The partner-in-dine claimed he didn't want any. Service was fast, efficient and friendly. While waiting for my sweet treat, I spent the time admiring the framed photos of the original Bahama Buck's store hanging on the walls. Then it was time to get down to business. I believe in making a good first impression and the Strawberry Cheesecake shaved ice definitely impressed my highly-tuned sweet tooth. The first spoonful was a sweet tickle in the mouth. It was a prelude to dessert heaven. The ice cream was an add-on and I was glad I got it. My partner-in-dine reneged on his earlier proclamation of not partaking in this sweet experience and ended up eating half of MINE. One can say that his defenses melted in the face of snowy sweetness. We shall come back soon. This I vow in the name of my sweet tooth! read more

Been here a few times now because my girlfriend loves the place. The reoccurring problem is always the service you get when coming here. Going through the drive through is a fifteen-twenty minute experience every time for just 2 drinks. The place is ran by high schoolers most of the time and that can lead to slow service and sometimes a bad product. As the picture shows below: I just took the lid off of my flat top beverage and it was nothing but a soupy mess, not even close to being ice! In conclusion, it's a tasty place to go, just never expect to be well taken care of when coming here! read more

The girl jillian at the front, gave me the best shaved ice I have ever eaten. The place is relatively clean and well organized. Tucson's best shaved ice for sure. read more

I wanted to give higher stars because I used come here all the time and loved it! I always order the same thing, the mango with chamoy and chili salt, but with extra chamoy and chili salt, I dont care if I get charged more for it I love that stuff. I was talking it up to my friend a couple days ago, but when I ordered today I was terribly disappointed. I felt bad for it was my friend's first time trying it. They used to layer the chamoy and chili salt in with the mango shaved ice. This time they didn't, it was all on top... read more

It's a bit of a drive from my side of town but the shaved ice is worth it (especially during hot days in Tucson). Their smallest size is plenty for 1 person, and you can add as many flavors as you like. If you haven't visited before, I recommend looking at the menu and deciding on your flavors before you get in line. They have a TON of syrup selections. A TON--I was overwhelmed. Luckily, the server swooped into help and suggested their natural flavors. I tried the natural pineapple and another natural flavor (I think it was watermelon?) and the regular cherry. The natural flavors definitely tasted better to me. Add some toppings to your ice! One negative thing was that when I got to the bottom third of my shaved ice, the syrup flavor was extremely strong and it was very mushy. I couldn't drink or eat it so I threw it out. I'm not sure if this is a flaw in how the drink was made or if I just need to limit the number of flavors depending on the cup size. They also have a nice offering of items that aren't shaved ice, like smoothies and iced coffee. Everyone in my party enjoyed their drinks. Definitely re-visiting to try other flavor combinations. read more

Move over Raspados and Eegees, there is a new dessert in town. I came here for the first time and experienced a very light and fluffy cup of flavored snow. I have ordered "snow" drinks at boba tea places, but have never eaten soft snow like this before. I loved it. I did the cream add-on which gave it a little bit of milky sweetness. On top of the tons of flavors you can choose from, "snowballs" are on the menu (not sure if these are edible). Next time I will see what their smoothies are like and hope they offer some other options with some real fruit and less sugar. The parking lot is a little tight, and I imagine it will be hard to get in and out when the nearby school kids get out. read more

SLOWEST SERVICE EVER! I love this place but, god forbid, if there are 2 or 3 people already in line, it's gonna be 30 minutes by the time you get your ice in a cup. Everyone is always friendly and I like the business, but whoever owns it is doing everything they can to make sure the service is as slow as possible. Please hire more kids so it takes less than 30 minutes for a simple snow cone. I've seen people just get out of line in the drive through and thats when there's only 4-5 cars which = 35 min wait. it's just ridiculous. Hire more people and stop skimping on the salaries. read more

I travel an unreasonably long distance to come here. I'm glad there is not one closer. It can be overwhelming to order so I would recommend birthday cake with cream. My niece recommended it and I haven't tasted one better read more

My son & I love this place. We've only been visiting for a few months but we've already filled a punch card. We mostly order smoothies but I would like to try the coffee drinks and other items. I wish they opened earlier and were a bit cheaper but service and quality are great. They are the best smoothies I've ever had! read more

We came for our school fundraiser and the staff here were great. Will definitely be back when my son asks to.

Love this place. I go there too often because I'm now hooked on it. I get the cherry, Bahama mama Rama style. Delicious.
