REVIEW: Bubbly Barrel in Super Nintendo World at Epic Universe

We’ve been all the way to Epic Universe and back, and let’s just say that this theme park is aptly named because it really is epic.

But what about the food and drinks? Well, we’ve visited some of the restaurants and snack spots in Epic Universe, and we’ll be sharing all our hot takes. For now, though, we’re visiting Donkey Kong Country in Super Nintendo World to check out the Bubbly Barrel.

As its name suggests, the Bubbly Barrel is where you go for a cool, tropical drink. Under its thatched roof, you’ll find liquid refreshment, including the DK Crush Float for $18.99. Right now, this is the only thing you can get at the Bubbly Barrel, but we’re not mad about it. This float is basically a pineapple banana DOLE Whip in liquid form. Okay, so it’s hard to say if the soft-serve is officially DOLE Whip, but it tastes like it.

It’s also served with caramel popcorn on top with chocolate chips, plus there are little bits of chocolate in the waffle cone, PLUS banana soda in the cup. As the soft-serve melts, it combines with the soda to create the perfect blend of flavors. We love how unique this treat is, especially with its combination of textures, tanginess, and sweetness. You can get it with or without a cute souvenir mug, but even without the mug, you still get a cool Donkey Kong spoon.

Yes, you’ve probably seen this snack all over social media, and we’ll confirm the hype is real. This could easily be one of the best snacks in Epic Universe.
