    Wild West Shave Ice at 1640 W University Dr, Denton, TX 76201 Today I had one of the most awesome experiences. First one the hostess/ cashier or the person who took my order had a very energetic personality. I felt very welcomed as a customer. Second I feel like low-key this is one of the most unique and cool places to visit in the City of Denton. It's a shaved ice location. Not to mention the deal that you get on the sizes and the amount. I was ordering the large and she talked me down to a medium (the price as of 2025 was $6) and I was extremely happy that I got the medium. You definitely get your money's worth. This also includes any topping Instantaneously this is my go-to spot. Thought I had another spot that actually is seasonal but now this place is open more throughout the year. They definitely will be getting my patriotism continuously as a customer. Two thumbs up five stars highly recommend the experience.

    small with vanilla ice cream on bottom, flavors: cherry, cheesecake, strawberry. Sweet cream on top

    Went here for the first time finally and tried the smal shaved ice with sour gummy worms on the bottom, sour grape, pickle juice, and cherry as my flavors, and tajin on top. I really enjoyed the sour grape and pickle juice flavors and those flavors pair well together. I love cherry and found their cherry syrup is a lil light in flavor but I still enjoyed it mixed in with my other flavors. I would love to see a sour option for the topping. Sour spray or sour salt would be an amazing option for me and ppl like me who love a super sour shaved ice. However, the service was great and the girl who took our order explained the menu to us and was very helpful. They made the shaved ice very fast and it was good and juicy. I love that they accept cash, card, and tap. The prices are also very good and I love how the toppings dont cost extra. Love the aesthetic of the stand and the drive up option for when I'm being lazy. I think I will definitely come here quite often in the summer as I plan to be in denton more often with my family and friends.

    Outstanding decor with fantastic pricing

    This place is the BOMB!!! BY FAR THE BEST SHAVED ICE ANYWHERE! She has fixed pricing that is super reasonable with incredible flavors and toppings. I simply can't wait to go back. Absolutely outstanding.

    small - mango, pineapple, and lime with chamoy, tajin, and nerds!!

    this shaved ice shack is the definition of getting the bang for your buck! the service is speedy and the treat is sweet. all the staff have been very kind to me, including the owners. i definitely need to come back as much as i can over the summer! they provide outdoor seating and have cute little hanging lights for ambiance. 10/5

    This is the small and it is not small :-)

    What is the schedule of the food truck that moves around?

    No idea. It's a fixed location on University Drive that has been working for decades in Denton, Texas.

    I brought my two boys here tonight about 45 minutes before closing to get snow cones…read more Unfortunately, all three of our snow cones had such a strong Pine-Sol taste that we couldn't eat them and had to throw all of them away. Hoping it was just the snow cones, I reordered and paid for ice cream instead. I asked the teenagers working if they had cleaned the snow cone machines with Pine-Sol, and they said no, they had only mopped the floors. The smell of Pine-Sol was so overwhelming that you could smell it outside the trailer even with all the windows closed. I explained that we had to throw away all of our snow cones because of the taste, and I suggested they might want to air the trailer out because the chemical smell was so strong that I was genuinely concerned about the employees breathing it in and all the snow cones were absorbing the taste. Every concern I brought up was met with shrugs and brushed off, which was honestly the most disappointing part of the experience for me. To make matters worse, another family who was there at the same time also threw away everything they ordered except the ice cream. They decided to just get waters because they didn't want to risk ordering anything else. Between the ruined snow cones and the complete lack of concern or accountability from the staff, my boys left disappointed, and so did I. we won't be returning.

    We love coming here very friendly staff and always fast service! I always get the strawberry…read moreshortcake and its amazing!

    [ BUMP UP THAT STAR! ] If you saw my previous review, my…read moremind has changed and I definitely believe Bubble Well deserves 5 stars from me! = FOOD/DRINK On my most recent visit, my group tried their Mango Coconut, Brown Sugar MT, and Watermelon GT. I have never tried them at Bubble Well, they were all really great! Let's take one by one. Watermelon GT, you right away taste the fresh watermelon that has been juiced and ends with Green Tea taste. This is super refreshing and I'd totally recommend for a hot weather especially in coming months when TX heat picks it up. It wasn't my drink; so, I don't know if there were watermelon bits - it would be a good plus for me if it's not already a thing. Brown Sugar MT was one of delicious and creamy one I've had so far. We all know that one chain that solely focuses on Brown Sugar, but Bubble Well replicates its own style Brown Sugar MT pretty well. I enjoyed that creamy foam on top that mixes especially with brown sugar syrup and milk. Lastly, my drink, Mango Coconut. This drink speaks SUMMER and TROPICAL as you sip through the drink. This is a perfect drink for lactose fam since it has coconut milk instead of Regular Milk. The sweetness was perfect to me, I absolutely loved the mango puree and coconut milk together. OF COURSE, got boba in my drink, which was excellent and texture was to my liking. = SERVICE I have to give special shout out to *idk her name* employee for the service. What an excellent and friendly employee. I hope she is well loved by many and definitely a positive mood maker. All drinks were made fresh and came out really fast, thank you! = INTERIOR/ATMOSPHERE This is one of few (or maybe only) places that has that boba tile on the floor, which I really like. It is like a perfect boba shot with your feet/shoes for a social media. Imagine that tile being against the wall, tbh, I'd be more amazing. Super spacious and bright! = COVID-19 All staff were wearing a mask and customers are required to wear a mask inside. Sitting limitation is unsure, but seems like all tables are open to be seated, no one was really sitting inside.

    Great service and tastes better than any I have tried in the area! - always consistent.. Brown…read moresugar Boba Tea is my favorite ! If you're looking for a great spot in Denton come here!
