“ Healthier for you froyo option made from bananas. The signature 9 cups are creative and loaded with toppings. There are 2 rotating seasonal specials as well pumpkin and black sesame currently. Small space inside for couples and families. The tables couldve been cleaned faster since seats are limited. ”
“ This place was surprisingly good! The chocolate banana ice cream is really decadent, and I was pleasantly surprised. There is no added sugar, and lactose free, so my stomach was happy. Just a warning, the ice cream tastes like dark chocolate, so I would get something else if you like sweeter chocolate. There was a bathroom, and it was clean. They also have a wall with merch. Highly recommend if you want something indulgent thats healthier than ice cream! ”
“ Was a bit skeptical to give this place a try due to the lack of reviews.. but 1110 RECOMMEND!! such a unique treat you cannot get anywhere else. It tastes like a mild banana smoothie with the texture of traditional soft serve! Price is fair considering the ingredients. The servers were so patient, kind, and actually seemed happy to be there. You can request a sample to try out the different flavors! ”
“ Its a tasty frozen treat, not to be confused with ice cream. However, it is excellent! Im generally not a fan of vegan ice cream like things, but this stuff is really good. I recommend the chocolate! ”
“ Great option for a cool fruitbased treat with lots of vegan options. This is the same chain as in Hawaii, if it seems familiar. ”
“ Got the Strawberry Lilikoi bowl and it was tart and delicious! Tastes like a great strawberry banana smoothie with a smooth, softserve consistency. Pricey at 9, but it comes with toppings and is healthier than froyo and just as tasty. Will definitely be back to try more flavors! ”
“ Im so glad I found out Banan opened up their location in SF through Tik Tok! It was one of my favs and muststops when I frequented Oahu travel. I ordered an Amazon Bowl 14 swirl with banana banan mochi 1.25 There is an added 5 SF employer mandate. The total was round 17, which is on the pricier end for sure. That being sad, if I lived in the city, this would be a weekly treat for me! The banana soft serve isnt too sweat and has a great consistency. Ingredients are very fresh. For my personal taste, I likely will sub out honey or leave it out in the future, although my gf thoroughly enjoyed the honey. A bowl can definitely be shared with 2 people...so if you think of it in that sense, it might be 78 per person which isnt as pricey. Staff is friendly and made the bowl relatively quickly. For a cold Sunday evening, the inside seating was all filled up and quite busy! There is some seating inside, but also across the street. There are some very unique flavors available...and I cant wait to be back! Thanks Banan for expanding outside of Hawaii! ”
“ Great, bright lighting here and lots of tasty, healthy treats! Will come back to try the signature banana ice cream, but this time around, I got the green smoothie. Added vanilla protein powder and it was tasty! ”
