Banan - Kaimuki

I used to go to Banan every month to pick up a batch of cups/bowls to put in the freezer for my kids and myself. This was a great family snack and refreshing after working in the yard. The majority of the time the workers were efficient and professional as there may be only one worker and a line out the door, pleasant, and very accomodating as there are certain ingredients I may not want from the Banan Creations menu in my cup/bowls and they would kindly not include them. I had the exact same incident as another reviewer who ordered a Locals Only and was told by the girl that the price was $15 because they were told to charge for every item. I told the girl to forget it and I just picked up the rest of my order. That happened last November and I had not been back since it left a bad impression with me. However, after seeing the response from managament that it was a misinformed pricing mistake that I hope has been straightened out, I will be back to give them another try as I do want to support local and most of my interactions with the employees were great. Food: 5 stars Service: Mostly 4 to 5 stars with a hiccup once in awhile. As someone else mentioned there can be an inconsistency with the amount put in the cup/bowls for the orders.

Came by at a friend's recommendation - little did I know that they already had an expansion in San Francisco near my house.... oh well. I'll definitely check out their location in the Bay Area to compare with. Parking in the area is difficult, but there's a paid lot within a couple blocks. The storefront is really small, it can really only fit one group to order at a time, and there's two benches out in the front for seating.We got three different flavors: açaí, matcha, and chocolate. They all tasted like banana, there's no doubt about it! The açaí had the strongest flavor compared to the others. The matcha has a beautiful green color but you really couldn't discern the matcha flavor from the bananas unfortunately. The coconut whipped creme was the highlight though - I wish I savored it more!

As a dessert lover, especially when it comes to ice cream and gelato, Banan truly stands out with their unique banana-based ice cream! Not only is it delicious, but it also feels good to eat, knowing it's made from wholesome, healthy ingredients.Their original banana ice cream is always a classic favorite, but I also love their acai blend--it's better than a regular acai bowl, in my opinion--and their black sesame flavor, which is a fun and flavorful Asian fusion twist.Every scoop comes topped with fresh fruits or crunchy granola, making it the perfect balance of indulgence and nutrition. If you're looking for a sweet treat that's both satisfying and guilt-free, Banan is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

First time here. Service was friendly. Its a small sore around the 12th street area. No seating except some benches next door. I got the Chocolate Brownie was was good. Very rich. Overall it waa pretty good but not my cup of tea.

You don't have to be lactose intolerant to appreciate the offerings at Banan. After a four hour hike, we were famished and craving something healthy. Banan was calling our name! The strawberry matcha sounded really good, so we ordered it, and it was so refreshing and satisfying. I could not tell that the soft serve was banana-based. It tasted like regular soft serve, with a hint of matcha flavor! I can't wait to come back here!

Healthy banana based ice cream! Such a cute location in Kaimuiki! Super friendly service. What's not to love? And the fact that it's a local business just makes it even better.

An original creation using locally sourced organic bananas as its base. No dairy. No added sugar.Made from bananas!This review is for their store located in Kaimuki right on the Main Street of Koko Head Ave near Waialae. A cute tiny store that offers frozen treats that looks like frozen yogurt but is DAIRY FREE. You can build your own bowl or go with their traditional creations. There is a difference in price.We tried the combo Strawberry Lilikoi. Real Lilikoi pulp with the edible crunchy seeds spooned on top. You can watch the server slice the fresh strawberries, then add fresh pineapple and coconut flakes to the bowl.If you like tart then Lilikoi (passion fruit) will fit the bill. It is balanced with the slight sweetness from the fresh strawberries, coconut flakes and pineapple! A true burst of the tropics in your mouth!Menu Board:Build Your Own BowlsKeiki $4/Cup $5.15/ Bowl $7.85Our CreationsKeiki Cup $6 / Cup $8 | Bowl $12CLASSIC TOPPINGS $0.75:black sesame seedschia seedsshaved coconutgranolapuffed quinoastrawberriespineapplepapayahoneyli hing muiSPECIALTY TOPPINGS $1.25Honolulu Mochi strawberry mochilemon peel marmaladeblueberry lavender compotewaffle cookieshaved almondsmochimacadamia nut honey buttermacnellalocal dark chocolatepeanut butter liliko'i pulpwhipped coconut creambrownie bitescaramelchocolate covered pretzelsThey also have smoothies, floats and drinks.There is no seating for the area but it is clean and bright.

We love Banan! So refreshing and delicious, I always get the chocolate flavor. Staff are always friendly and helpful!

LOVE everything about this place!! Try the strawberry matcha creation with MAC NUT BUTTA BABY!!!

I always look forward to visiting Banan when I go to Oahu! The mac nut honey butter is to DIE for. It's the perfect after beach snack.
