    Mango pineapple, yummm dairy free
    Kristen G.

    I love that this food truck is on the pier! My boyfriend and I ordered one each. I tried the mango pineapple and he ordered the banana cream pie. The mango pineapple is dairy free which I liked. It tasted good, you can really taste the mango! I didn't taste pineapple though. But I liked it. The banana cream pie has whipped cream, Nutella, banana ice cream, and crushed graham cracker topping. So delicious!! This one was our favorite of the two. It is a little expensive, $11.50 for the two. I'm happy they aren't cash only. Quick and friendly service!

    I wanted to love this but I didn't. I don't feel it deserves less stars either because I found out I reallllly don't like banana based ice cream lol. I think it's a perfect option for non dairy ice cream just was NOT my fav. I made my own creation of #1 with Oreo crumbs, hot fudge, and walnuts. Loved that it included 3 toppings because charging extra. I thought maybe what I ordered would be a re creation of my fav chunky monkey from Ben and Jerry's but nope. Looked so yummy but I ended up just eating the topping off of it only. I was told there was another base of mango and pineapple too so maybe I'll give that a try or try a "banana shake" instead next time. Maybe that will mask the banana flavor a little better?!

    *Pre COVID Review* I visited Pier13 one afternoon and found the Amanda Bananas food truck. I was so excited to try something that was 100% dairy free, gluten free and vegan since dairy upsets my stomach. I was slightly afraid the consistency or taste would be off but I was proven wrong! I ended up trying the Banana Cream Pie ice cream. Omg, it was so delicious and the consistency was perfect. I loved the simple toppings and presentation. Roughly one scoop of icecream was $5. I would say this is fair for the product. Can't wait to try out all their other creations! I know their food truck is open for business at Pier13 in Hoboken. Be sure to check them out for a tasty treat!

    Had the banana dessert a couple of times at different food truck events in hudson county.Very tasty and they have a wide variety of toppings.Healthy too.. which makes for a guilt free indulgence.

    I do not understand how they make just bananas so creamy and delicious. But it's incredible! I got fluffernutter - nutterbutters, peanut butter and marshmallow fluff. 10/10 it was so good!

    I ordered the s'mores flavor at Amanda Bananas. It was pretty good! Definitely something I would share because it was really sweet, but nonetheless a tasty treat!

    Fluff a nutter.. OBSESSED!!!

    Absolutely in love with Amanda Bananas. Don't think I can pass up getting some when at Pier13 ever again...... Had a very hard time choosing, but ended up going with the fluff-a-nutter. SOOO good!!!! The actual banana base itself was so good that on a day i want to be healthier, I wouldn't mind more simple ingredients like chocolate chips and whipped cream. Gotta try it!

    This food truck is located at Pier 13 in Hoboken so you get a tasty treat with a view. It's simply just frozen banana with the toppings of your choice or you can go with one of their creations. I went with the Banana Cream Pie which is topped with graham cracker crust, Nutella and whip cream. Sooo good! I believe they are all $5.00.

    mmmmmmm this place has a great concept. Unique and delicious. I got the banana cream pie and it was really good. I love the fact that i'm eating a dessert and its healthy. The fact that you can order it and sit at the pier and just enjoy the scenery. Its pure bliss. To me, I would get this very often for the pure fact that I love sweets and this would not kill me on the scale and it tastes like it would. The only downfall is that it is $5 for a small cup but it is worth it! I wanna try the almond joy next

    Banana cream pie!
    Michelle S.

    Love love love Amanda's bananas! My summers wouldn't be complete without it! The ice cream consistency is perfection, even though it's 100% bananas. My favorite is the banana cream pie which comes with a generous amount of whipped cream, Nutella, and crushed graham crackers. Couldn't recommend this more (obviously must like bananas).

    The fluffernutter - DELISH
    Alyssa F.

    YUM! I had the fluffernutter and wow was it good! What a brilliant idea. Thanks guys!

    Long line for Amanda Bananas!

    If Amanda bananas had a storefront hear me, I promise I'd go every day. (Hint, hint)... The "ice cream" base is not ice cream in the least. It's made entirely from banana! No added ingredients, just banana!! From there you can add an assortment of toppings - from fresh fruit to peanut butter or whipped cream. For someone who used to eat ice cream every day, but stopped for health reasons, this is a dream come true!! It's creamy, refreshing and DELICIOUS ! One complaint - they are only open certain days / times because this is a food truck. They close for the winter I believe, but are at pier 13 in hall summer and go to events all over NJ in the spring, summer and fall.

    Banana Cream Pie with Nutella. Everything you need but made in ice cream and toppings form. First time coming here and I love it.

    I've been following Amanda Bananas on Twitter for a while now and on Labor Day, I decided to drive to Hoboken for some food trucks. I looked on the menu to see what they offered and soon as I seen Banana Cream Pie. Ooo yeaaa give that to meee!!!

    Better than ice cream or frozen yogurt and super inexpensive that we end up grabbing it daily.

    Established in 1968, this long-established shop makes all its ice cream in-house. Not only are the…read moreportions generous, but the texture is also incredibly smooth and silky, without any icy crystals or a hard, frozen consistency. Holding it or tasting it gives a substantial, high-quality feel. However, the consequence is that even the staff struggles to scoop it out with their spherical ice cream scoops, let alone the disposable plastic spoons provided to customers. Green Tea: The highest praise Chinese people can give for desserts--not sweet--and it truly tastes like green tea, not matcha. The refreshing bitterness was incredibly pure, even bordering on slightly bitter, which is extremely rare in the US. Vanilla Peanut Butter: Very milky, but extremely salty, like eating peanut butter spread on bread. The vanilla flavor was almost completely masked. Coconut & Cream: I've always trusted American coconut ice cream, but this time it was a bit of a disappointment. The cream completely overshadowed the coconut, so much so that it took me a long time to recall what flavor I actually ordered. Ube: One bite brought back childhood memories, exactly the same as the ube flavor Wuyang五羊 ice cream cone. It was so touching I didn't order this in the end since I want to try more flavors as possible. I don't know why, but ube flavor seems to be gradually fading in China... Blueberry Cheesecake: The initial taste was a rich, sweet cream, with a refreshing hint of blueberry tartness in the aftertaste. It's pretty good, but honestly, it's not particularly outstanding. Banana Peanut Butter Chunk: The staff recommended this signature dish, and it once again made me realize how subjective taste can be... It's on the sweeter and saltier side, with a very strong flavor, but more importantly, it has a noticeable artificial banana flavor.

    I'm already planning my next visit...YUM! First time here and it did not disappoint! I'm so glad I…read morefound yummy homemade ice cream at a family owned spot. There's so many yummy flavors - it's hard to choose! I ultimately went with the rocky road (my classic favorite) and the cheesecake with rainbow sprinkles (because why not!?) and enjoyed every bite! I think the rocky road could've used more marshmallows but that's my personal preference for my favorite childhood fave ice cream. Service was great and allow you to try a couple flavors if you're unsure which is great as not all ice cream spots makes the flavors the same! It's only street parking so get ready to search for that when you come to visit - but it's worth it! And read street signs so you don't get towed or ticketed.

It came out as a thick piece of deep-fried toast topped with ice cream, boba, caramel popcorn, and strawberries on the side. Not healthy at all, but really good.

They have a water dispenser, two locking bathrooms, and plenty of outlets, so I already have a very positive view of Grace Street as a good place to rest. The food is alright. It's a bit overpriced and the teas are not good quality. However, the desserts are delicious. I usually split a slice of basque cheesecake with my friends. The regular and matcha have both been good in my experience. I don't like chocolate cake, so I haven't tried that variety. I wish the pumpkin was available in the smaller size too! I've tried their boba, and it isn't good. The hot teas are okay but not great. They're pretty much just syrup and milk. I would avoid the drinks and just get the desserts! I haven't personally tried the bingsoo, but I've heard good things. The waffle is alright--all in all, come here to recharge and for the basque cheesecake!
