I have been taking the scenic route home a lot recently, hitting up Best Buy and some of the other retailers in the vicinity before making a final pit stop to Bahama Buck's.  During weekday lunch period, the parking spaces closest to Bahama Buck's are very hard to find unoccupied.  But if you are worried about long lines and the associated wait time for getting your shaved ice on, do not worry your pretty/handsome faces.  The occupants of those vehicles all appear to be at the sandwich or the other fast casual dining operations adjacent to this destination.\n\nEven if you have to wait briefly to place an order or for the order to be made fresh, there are two Bahama Buck's TV playing GoPro and Monsters footage of people doing amazing adventurous stuff that most of us may never get around to attempting in our existence here.  My eyes are usually so glued to the TVs that my order of the umbrella topped shaved ice, soaked of food coloring packed flavor syrups, is ready for the hand off before I think I should get impatient.\n\nTheir shaved ice is pretty fine, not like \""snowflake\"" powdery fine, but definitely not the chunky small crushed ice I have had at the state fair in my teen years.\n\nI like tart/sour flavors, so that segment of their menu is the only category of flavors I have personal encounters with.  Is it really all that tart? Not in my opinion, but it is still a refreshing treat when the temperature goes back up.  I do however warn against getting the Blue Raspberry flavor, the taste is fine, but what comes out at the end has an interesting and shocking color effect.\n\nBesides shaved ice, they have smoothies and even coffee drinks.  I have seen others order the smoothies,but I have not been there frequently enough to be present when coffee based items are ordered.\n\nIf you plan to frequent this business, be sure to get a stamped (punch) card.  When the weather is really cold, you could earn 2x, 3x and even 4x  \""polar punches\"" starting when the temperature dips under 50, 40 and 30 degrees, respectively.  \n\nBonus:  Color changing spoons are amusing for the kids. Come here enough times and you can build up your own collection of miniature umbrellas for your next paradise themed cocktail party staycation.  Until then enjoy the nice weather we are currently having.\n\nReview #11 of 2014
