A cute little food truck on the Hoboken waterfront. I was honestly surprised that the base ice cream itself does not have any sugar or dairy. The ice cream is super yummy and can be customized but they also have some super tummy options. The portion size is decent and usually there's only 1 person working. Loved how it satisfied the ice cream craving while keeping the excess sugar away! read more

Banana soft serve is how it sounds. I appreciate that it doesn't have any sugar added and that it's dairy/gluten free and vegan. However, it's not all that exciting... It will take a certain mood for the craving to hit. Also it's sweet enough on its own, I couldn't stomach any toppings. The mango pineapple swirl was super sweet and tasted artificial. I don't recommend that one. read more

Ordered: Banana Cream Pie Creation (~$6): soft serve banana with crushed graham crackers, Nutella, and whipped cream Aya's take: Did someone say soft serve bananas? Amanda Bananas was one of the food trucks at Pier 13, so I thought I would try it out. I love banana but I hate the Laffy Taffy flavor, and I must say this was not that Laffy Taffy flavor. They have many creations to choose from or you can choose your own toppings. Nice, quick, and easily sharable dessert to grab if you stumble across their truck. read more

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! read more

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?! read more

*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! read more

Amanda's Bananas is a rare establishment were they are 5/5 CONSISTENTLY. Every single time I come here on Pier 13, I am blown away with the products. I wish I had photos but it goes quick. Highlight menu items -- BLURRIES. They even include a mcflurry type spoon. The nostalgia... I have tried the birthday cake and cookies & cream blurries. Both amazing. The soft serve is a classic. I recommend the fluffer nutter or the s'mores flavor. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Delicious and ever so healthy (if you eat it plain and don't go crazy on the toppings, of course)! At home, I eat frozen over-ripe bananas all the time. This is an even better treat. It's very filling because when you think about it, it's gotta be at least a couple or a few bananas mashed up to make a bowl full. I've gotten it plain, the s'mores toppings, and with nutella. All have been great! The service is a little slow, especially when there's a line. I've wound up waiting 10 minutes before and there were no customers even in front of me. But, it was a nice day and worth the wait. I love this stuff, I wish it were available as an option at your frozen yogurt places! That would be perfect! read more

Their toppings are great, too. I got the Snickers (chocolate syrup, and caramel peanuts) and my boyfriend got the Banana Cream Pie (whipped cream and Nutella). Both were great!

It's a great concept and very unique as well! It does taste like a frozen banana; the treat has a nice smooth texture. They'll give you a sample if you wish to try it before purchasing. Very delicious alternative to ice cream and frozen yogurt. It's also dairy free. The only sugars present are the natural sugars if you get an original. I believe it's healthy minus the toppings. Depending on the toppings, it might not be as healthy but it's still a good and fun treat:) it does melt quickly if it's warm outside so indulge quickly! $4 for an original ($5 for one of the creations with toppings) which is a bit on the pricey side but you are getting a healthier treat. Enjoy your frozen banana treat on a nice warm day! And yes, they accept credit cards! read more

Bald One and I split a frozen banana treat at the Hamilton Park Festival in JC today. Too bad Baby D is only 3.5 months old, or we would have treated her to a taste as well. It looks like frozen yogurt but is 100% banana! Healthy and delicious and so creamy you'd swear there's dairy in it. Because Bald One loves sweets, he chose graham cracker dust, Oreo bits, and Nutella as toppings. A bit sweet, but even I had to admit it was delicious. I'd give 5 stars if they had had fruit toppings available - like strawberries, blueberries, etc. for those of us who prefer tart over sweet. But it was a cold tasty treat and the size was perfect for sharing on a warm, sunny day in beautiful Downtown Jersey City! read more

I really do enjoy Amanda Bananas and I LOVE that it serves as a healthy option on PIer 13. The calorie count is stellar and it is quite refreshing. I really like the consistency... and the price is good too! To be honest, the first 2 times I ate here, I ordered it plain. And it tasted like cold, mashed up baby food bananas. I was NOT a fan. But then I tried my husband's delicious order involving Nutella and Coconut and it was absolutely delicious. I finally realized, Plain is NOT the way to go here unless you love the raw banana flavor! Even by adding something healthy like fresh mangos and coconut - the flavor profile and texture profile skyrockets and it tastes absolutely delicious. read more

I received a confirmation back about 15 minutes after my inquiry text. The truck was located at pier 13. Ideal location. Lots of kids and adults alike lined up for a taste of healthy yumminess. I got mine with fresh strawberries, mango and chopped almonds. The cup was completely overfilled and spilled everywhere as I anxiously dipped my soon in it but I didn't care. It was much creamier than I had anticipated. The toppings complimented the base well, I indulged myself guilty free. read more

I've had this bookmarked for some time now, and I finally got to try it out. I'm all about bananas. I love them alone, in a banana split, as a milkshake, and for sure as a froyo/ice cream! So I had the chance to get to try it at JCEats (7/18), and I was satisfied! At first there was a weird after taste but it goes away after the third spoonful,lol. I had the classic with strawberries, Nutella, and cap'n crunch. It was only $5 which is not bad considering how expensive some froyo spots are. Definitely coming back to try other combos!

A Guilt-Free Frozen Treat? Yes Please!! The bananas are super fresh- you can watch them puree the frozen bananas right in front of you. Can you choose from one of their pre-set combinations of toppings, or make your own. Only thing that could make this slightly better- a toppings bar where you can add your own toppings. Then again, perhaps for the sake of my waistline, it's better that they do it :) A nice summer addition to town for the summer! read more

In my book there is no wrong time to try some gelato so in I went. This place boasts authentic Italian gelato. They feature many gelato options including: Sea Salt Caramel, French Vanilla and Strawberry Milk Snow which I decided to try. The gelato is creamy, an explosion of flavor and fabulous to the last spoonful. It was over $9. I also noticed their large selection of macarons which were a little bit larger than an Oreo but the filling was twice as thick. They offered pistachio, tiramisu, matcha tea, creme brulee and coconut as I remember. The desserts I tried were great but pricey.

I stopped by Annie & Em's Bakeshop in search of their cinnamon donuts of which I had seen pictures…read more Unfortunately, they were out of those and there is no guarantee they will be available unless one orders them in advance for pickup. The ladies working here were so kind and gracious about it, explaining how to order the cinnamon donuts in advance and they freeze well if you order a large quantity, so I purchased an apple cinnamon caramel scone instead. I ate it the next day and it was very good. I appreciated that it was a scone and not too sweet. There are chunks of apple in there with a definitive cinnamon presence. The caramel is drizzled over the top. It would go well with coffee or tea, particularly chai. There are other offerings here and if you see the cinnamon donuts, do not pass them up. 3.5 stars, but I am certain that could be revised upwards if I sample more of their baked goods.

I'm not gluten free but love any and all sweets. And I have so many GF people in my life. We were all patiently awaiting their grand opening and let me tell you: it was worth the wait. I stopped in shortly before they closed to pick up a box of cookies to bring to said gluten free friends. I got a mix of the sugar cookies, chocolate chip and sea salt caramels. All are incredible and none give the slightest hint that they are made to be GF. Crazy moist (Oy, sorry if you hate that word, but they were MOIST), soft and flavorful. The sugar cookie stole the show for me but I don't think you'll find a cookie you don't like. They had so many lots of vegan options as well if that's something you're on the hunt for. I can't wait to stop in again and try more of their cakes and sweet treats. Happy to have you in Mile Square!

We DID try out their food one day when we arrived around 8:30 AM. I ordered the smoked salmon toast, which came with mixed greens, egg salad, and a hefty portion of smoked salmon on top of freshly baked white bread.

The lavender and blueberry flavors were both good, added some sweetness, and fruity/floral elements but for some reason, the latte didn't feel as cohesive. The staff were very friendly and offered to remake it if I didn't like it. I think the syrup wasn't strong enough or could've been better layered with the milk & espresso. Decent try!

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.
