Bahama Buck’s

First time here today, and I love it! As soon as I walked in I was greeted by Junior. Because this place has an endless amount of flavors I wasn’t sure as to what to order but he recommended the piña colada & my daughter had the strawberry. Once I paid, Junior washed his hands (after handling money) & reached for some gloves. The shaved ice is soooo good. They even come topped with these cute little umbrellas and a color changing spoon. This place is a hidden gem. Not only it taste good but it’s inexpensive.

I absolutely love this place! Ever since I discovered Bahama Bucks in the Kendall area I crave it all the time. They have a lot of flavors to offer and allow you to add ice cream which takes it to another level. I will definitely recommend anyone here! By the way they give you a free 12 Oz shaved ice on your birthday with a card.

TERRIBLE SERVICE! Seriously not kidding I am not recommending this to anyone. Unbelievable. A disgrace to the company name, I went in Texas and it did not matter how busy they were I didn’t have to wait more than 10 minutes for my shaved ice. I waited 45 minutes for mine. And the girl working was just laughing and walking around and not paying attention at all. The dirty blonde guy with a pony tail was very nice, but terrible service. The product is amazing and it disgusted me to see how bad the service is. Pathetic.

Cute spot and delicious refreshing ice! I luv this place! Why don’t we have more of these in Miami where we so need a refresher with all this heat? These snowcones are different than the ones that I used to have when I was little. The ice on these is smooth and melts in your mouth. They have so many different flavors to try, it was so hard for me to pick! I went with a big group and was able to try a little from each of the ones that they ordered. My favorite flavor from the ones I tried is Passion Fruit, and this is the flavor I always get because it is just so gooood… maybe one day I will try a new one. The spoon turns into a different color when it is cold, which is cool and kids and big kids really like it. All ice comes with a little umbrella in it to give you that island feel. You can also request to get some snowballs for the kids so that they can play. They will make them for you and you can have a little snowball fight outside, fun!

This was a nice night treat. My Mom, Sister, Brother, and 2 nephews made a trip here after dinner.
We had:
Dreamsicle it was sweet but not a favorite .
Eggnog I liked it and was it was sweet.
Blue raspberry it was sweet my nephew loved it.
Key Lime it was good !!! It was in the top 3 favorite among us.
Pink Lemonade happened to be made by mistake and the guy just gave it to us. That was our favorite. It was delicious And refreshing the right amount of sweet and tart, and the ice cream on the bottom was an added bonus. Or «The cream on top», or the bottom, Lol.
Sour Patch Kids was Delicious!!! This was also a favorite among us. It was indeed sour, and we all liked the sour goodness.

Great place to bring the kids! My daughter had the Bahama Rama Mama (chocolate ice cream topped with red raspberry shaved ice with tropic cream) amazing flavor combination! Very refreshing, especially in this Florida heat!

Love love love!!! Unfortunately, the crowd was very obnoxious, but I still visit every time I’m in town!

If you like sno cones this is SO much better! Smoother texture and great flavors to chose from. I’ve had a half strawberry half blue rasberry (rasberry is extra sour a bit TOO sour) and a full strawberry. Add cream on top for a great touch! Service is great as well

Four stars because I wasn’t as big of a fan as I thought I would be on the taste of these! I got a small birthday cake for $ 3.99 and didn’t finish it, it was large for me and very sweet. My boyfriend got the baby size in strawberry cheesecake for $ 2.99 on the ‘Slim Ice’ menu. The Slim menu has about 15 flavors and are fat free, sugar free and carb free. He wasn’t that big of a fan, but then again he doesn’t really like icee style drinks. I want to go back again and try more of a tropical flavor like coconut, maybe birthday cake just isn’t meant to be transformed into an icee lol I do like the look of Bahama Bucks though. A+ for décor!

The only one in Miami located in Kendall! So I found out about this place and decided to give it a try. I’m not into these ice and syrup drinks but because it’s a new place I tried it. I ordered the birthday cake flavored drink with Bluebell vanilla ice cream at the bottom. It’s a cool concept and a lot of people seem to enjoy it. I like sweet but this one was alright, maybe too sweet. My fiancé ordered a strawberry colada (I think, I know something with strawberry) and liked his more. Try it out!

Stopped in on a whim after having dinner a few stores down and this place definitely hit the sweet tooth spot. Lots of really cool flavors to choose from, Bahama Bucks has unique treat concept. It’s not your typical snow cone or slushy. It’s shaved ice carved in front of your eyes and covered in the flavor of your choice. The ice is soft but doesn’t melt into slush as expected. There are quite a few sizes to choose from although the «baby» size was more than enough for us. My kids tried a mix of birthday cake and sour patch as well as piña colada with blue bubble gum. Affordable too! Really enjoyed the visit and hope to return soon.

You ever been to Jeremiah’s before, up in Orlando?
Cause this isn’t that.
Given, it is a fine snocone. It has it’s merits. But once you’ve gone gelati you can’t go back. And having to fight off a horde of pre-​teens and children fresh from karate class? Not my idea of a tropical snack escape.
It’s just ok.

I found this place through a groupon and it worked out great because it was 3 of us and we absolutely loved this place I love the fact that it’s actually like snow it’s not like the granizados like that chopped ice so we will refuels be returning

Love that place !!! The Avalanche it’s awesome the staff super friendly… Nice ambience, good flavors just they need to put condensed milk instead of heavy cream on top the raspados

Ive loved shaved ice, my entire life. Had been wanting to try this place for a while.
There is a nice flavor variety on the menu, which was nice.
I ordered the «baby size» for my self and another for my tot.
Mine (piña colada) was really sweet (too sweet), could not finish it. My daughter’s (birthday cake and x red flavor, as suggested by staff member) was also very sweet, she seemed to enjoy it though.
I loooove sweets but for shaved ice, I prefer the flavor to be less sweet, that way one can add condence milk on top, I am glad I did not add any of that, this time around, or I wouldn’t have been able to eat it, all all.
I will be back, to try other flavors, and hopefully find one that I love.
Kept a star for overly sweet and another for organization of chairs outside. Place was pretty empty when I arrived, and the chairs outside were disorganized, to the point I had to fix them myself to open the doors before entering. There were several employees (5 – 6 inside).

Great place to take your friends. The shaved ice is so soft it doesn’t even feel like ice. The flavored are awesome.
I had SUPER Sour Watermelon, Strawberry, & Blue Raspberry highly recommended!

There is nothing better than refreshing shaved ice on a hot Miami day. Given that there is no place that really sells shaved ice in the Kendall area this place is in an excellent location.
I had a combination of Cherry/​Strawberry and the hubby had a frozen lemonade.
We both went with the safest options as this was our first time here. Both of our selections were excellent. They have countless combinations that you can create and all sound equally delicious.
They also sell smoothies if you prefer to go that route.
Keep in mind that like anything else new that opens up in the area this place gets pretty full. However the staff is good about keeping the line moving.

Great soft shaved ice
Pricing seems fair and the service is great.
I will be a regular for now on

What a cute little place to bring the family for a ltreat! Bahama bucks is a nice change from icecream, shaved ice with so many different options of flavors. This place just opened two weeks ago and they were packed! The staff were all polite and kind. The facility including the bathrooms were extremely clean. The décor is a cute surf theme. They have many options of size cups to choose from, however keep in mind the ice comes out the cup almost doubling the size you selected. The shaved ice is served with a little umbrella and color changing spoon, a hit with the kids! I definitely recommend trying this place out!

The only reason I knew this existed is because I received a colorful cut-​out of shaved ice (complete with the adorable, tiny umbrella you expect to have in your tropical drink at the beach) in the mail! The advertisement stated that I could receive a free shaved ice during the opening month. For days, I planned to go (who doesn’t love flavored ice?) but my busy schedule would not allow it. I finally went last night around 9:30 pm. It was full of customers, but that is to be expected when something new opens in the 305. I was helped right away by a delightful, outgoing gentleman who proceeded to tell me all about the menu and countless variations I could order. He answered any questions I had and even offered suggestions. I love that extra attention (especially when a place is so new), so I was sure to let him know I appreciated it.
I ordered the Birthday Cake flavor, with sprinkles on top. It tastes exactly how you would imagine, and the presentation was top notch (tiny umbrellas add a little something). It was the perfect end to my long day. Last year, I spent some time in New Orleans wishing the snow cone/​shaved ice trend would catch on in Miami – and here it is. Don’t mess this up, Miami. We need this on a scorching hot day (everyday).
