Came here with a friend visiting out of town; she's vegan so I am always looking for Miami spots that give her options! We walked here from a nearby dinner. I ordered the bad bunny, which was the banana soft serve with carrot cake and absolutely delicious cream cheese frosting. So scrumptious and light, compared to other frozen dessert options. My friend got the twisted pleasure - when she asked what was vegan three people came from the back to confirm all toppings were safe. So many places have one simple option and they truly seemed to care to make sure she was safe with what she chose! Also...definitely make a pit stop at the bathroom - such fun and funky decor! Highly recommend this unique concept if you're in Midtown! read more

Who's your daddy? On a hot day in downtown Miami there could be only one answer to that. Banana Daddy. This wonderful alternative to ice cream provides flavor without dairy to create a more healthy and delicious treat that will cool you off on even hottest Miami summertime day. In a spectacularly dog, friendly neighborhood, it is exciting to find a restaurant that has a treat specifically intended for man's best friend. Other local establishments should follow suit and have some choices that are edible and friendly for the dogs that are plentiful in this part of town. But the feature attraction here is the banana base dessert. Made popular at home by a company making a home machine, Banana Daddy takes this frozen treat to a whole new level. The flavors are amazing and although I have not tried them all, I believe that every one of them would make a memorable treat. Simply awesome. But it doesn't end there. Wonderful snacks like banana bread, s'mores, and other baked goods make this place the ultimate dessert destination. I guess my only criticism is that the banana based Matcha latte was really a big cup of ice with not a whole lot of drink. I ordered a large and it was really only three or four sips and not big sips at that. That is why I do not buy them at that big chain coffee shop. These are without a doubt, the best tasting Macha lattes ever but nine dollars for a few sips it's not going to keep it on my shortlist. So I may not order this again. It does not hurt my enthusiasm for this shop. The themed shop is amazingly cute. The recipes are clearly well thought out and tested, and the staff is amazingly gracious. This is truly a keeper and one of my favorite places, even though I have only been here once. This is not a neighborhood I have frequented in the past, but it certainly one worth traveling to especially if you're craving these wonderful frozen treasures. read more

Decided to checkout Banana Daddy during their Alma matcha collab. The decor of Banana Daddy was really really nice. I absolutely loved the atmosphere and service! Where I felt Banana Daddy was lacking was the matcha itself. The matcha was fairly grainy and bitter (you can see it the most in the drink on the left). I had the coconut ube and my partner had the banana cloud. The ube coconut syrup flavor was good but the banana one didn't have much flavor. I hope this is due to the larger than normal crowd at the pop-up. The banana cake however was AMAZING. I did feel it was a bit expensive for its size but flavor wise it was delicious. I would definitely try them again. read more

Omggg where has this place been all my life?! LoVe at first sight! We finished our posh midtown Miami summer brunch and were shopping around. Boy...it's getting haaawwwwt, so?! I had a vision of ice cream. Enter Banana Daddy like a mirage beckoning us. Total score! The soft serve is all natural banana based, with coconut milk & some oils, sugar. I chose a banana soft serve cone, and I'm so happy! Hubby chose their Banana cloud matcha. Puppy got a frozen pup cup, also happy! Sooo many other great choices-Check it out for yourself. *Expert tip: Ask for minimal ice in your Matcha, or you'll get way too little actual drink. Thanks for following me, Happy summer yelping in 2026! ~Tami in Miami read more

As most Miami places come and go, it's quite sad to see businesses not last longer than a year. This is a new dessert spot in Midtown and they have such a great marketing campaign but their sweet treat fell short. I love anything banana flavor and I understand the concept of a healthier alternative to ice cream. The way their drinks and sundaes did not give what they were hoping for. It lacked flavor and they use toppings to hopefully make up for it. If the base isn't strong then everything else doesn't matter. We ordered the banana latte and banana matcha. Both needed help. The flavor was extremely subtle. I had to ask for more banana syrup. Coffee tasted burnt and not the dark roast kind of good. It is quite pricey for what it is. l'll have to try it again when I'm in the area. read more

It's been a while, I've been busy with work and school. Sorry Yelp, but I'm finally back with another review! I was walking around Midtown when a new sign and music coming from the store's direction caught my attention. As we near, LO AND BEHOLD, it's Banana Daddy. It reminded me of the Museum of Ice Cream, aesthetic and vibe wise. Excitedly, we went inside and learned that the store has only been open for about a month. So, it was new to town! We love anything banana, so we were super eager to try. We had some samples and ummm...surprisingly enough, we were not impressed, but that was just the "base". So, maybe when dressed up, it'll be better. I was a bit disappointed, the texture wasn't what I was hoping for, the flavor was very subtle and barely had any banana taste to it, for both the coffee, matcha, and the sundae. I was really hoping to like it, but I can't say I did. Maybe, I'll give it another go another day, but it's definitely not something I'll be craving. With the most sincerity and positivity, I'm wishing the best of luck to this establishment :) read more

Came here for an event and I must say, it is cute inside. I love the layout. There is seating inside and outside. I tried the banana cold brew and it was amazing. I cant wait to try their pastries.

Great atmosphere! there are bananas everywhere and its decorated so cute! there is even banana daddy merch to purchase! i was greeted by one of the owners and he is so sweet. I ordered one of their coffees made with coconut milk and banana. It was very tasty. The star of the show was their ooey gooey cake. It's like a moist butter cream cake with a crisp crust on the bottom. It's sooo good. they use the best cleanest ingredients here. I obviously want to go back and try their soft serve. Their chocolate looks phenomenal. When you visit, you must visit BOTH bathrooms. I don't want to ruin the surprise, but both are decorated in such a unique way! read more

I thought the idea behind this dessert place was so fun! I love the branding and the design of the interior, and had a hard time picking from their menu! Ultimately we decided to try the Gimme S'more sundae, it is was delicious! I loved the toasted marshmallow topping, and the graham cracker topping was amazing! I thought the ratio of the soft serve to toppings was on point too. They have a lot of different sundaes or DIY options, and lots of fun merch! While I am not sure I would make this a regular spot, I loved trying it after seeing it on Instagram and think it was such a fun experience that I would recommend to everyone who like banana flavors or just want to try something fun and new! The people who helped us were super kind as well! They let us try the different base flavors before picking which one we wanted with our sundae. read more

The new Banana Daddy soft serve spot is viral for a reason! From the decor to the desserts, everything is super cute and eye-catching. The merch right when you walk in--bags, stickers, hats--immediately grabbed my attention. I love that they're dog-friendly, especially in such a busy, walkable area. There are plenty of tables both outside and inside. I went on a Sunday around 8 PM, and it was busy but still comfortable to sit and enjoy. I ordered the medium vanilla protein s'mores. It was delicious and pretty big--definitely shareable for two people. The banana flavor wasn't overpowering, just the right balance. The fluffy s'mores topping with chocolate chips and graham cracker crumbles made it such a fun treat. Bonus points for being dairy-free and a bit healthier than traditional ice cream. I also tried the brownie, you must order one. I can eat 10 of those. The marketing and design really sold me--especially the bathrooms, which were my favorite part design-wise. Overall, 9/10, and I can't wait to go back for more! read more

Tried banana daddy for their grand opening yesterday and was instantly obsessed. From the branding, to their service, to the merch and obviously the Sta of the show -- the soft serve, it's all extremely thought out and made to perfection. I tried the BBL soft serve and ordered their carrot cake and banana bread pastries and really couldn't get enough... so good! The place is vibrant, with DJ tunes, shades of pink, and fun banana themed knickknacks all over. Very photo friendly. read more

I finally got to try their banana soft serve ice cream. I love that it's dairy and gluten free. I ordered the Vanilla protein so it would have filling after my gym workout. From the baked goods I order the carrot cake which was also gluten free. I enjoyed the ice cream in store without added toppings. I took the cake to go and enjoyed every bit of it at home over two days. The staff and store are great! Ordering was easy and the staff were friendly. Great location to enjoy a lazy day and people watch. I would definitely return for some more dairy free treats. read more

You're making me bananas! The best non dairy soft serve!!! The chocolate is so chocolaty and in the big banana flavor the banana isn't too overpowering. The s'mores Sunday was incredible. So yummy and hard to believe it's all dairy free! As someone who is severe lactose intolerant this place is a game changer. It's the place to go for someone who is trying to be healthier or just enjoys bananas. Lots of interesting flavors and toppings too. The coffees also looked awesome but I went at night so didn't get one. Will definitely have to the the banana cold brew at some point. Additionally, this place is so cute- even the bathrooms have a banana disco ball. The server was nice and helped me decide what to get also. A must hit spot in Miami! read more

Yummy healthy alternative to ice cream and a daily free option if you like frozen yogurt. The cashiers were very friendly and helpful.

My friends and I decided to come here because of the hype that was going around and it did not disappoint! It is a small little shop and everything has banana in it. It is gluten and dairy free. They have already signature ice creams if you're interested, which is what I ended up getting, but there's also options to build your own ice cream creation. It was a cute experience. The line wasn't that long nor were the prices for what we were getting and everything was worth the price. I would definitely recommend and come again! read more

Great spot where you get more than good bites, but make beautiful connections while waiting in line. I had the ooey gooey which was soooooo goody. The he's salty protein shake was so good that it didn't make it home. lol! The tomato and spinach quiche was a nice bite and the banana bread was like a bougie version of your regular simple (yet delicious) version. There's some sort of spice that throws it off for me but it was still good, but I wouldn't get it again because I prefer the original version better. Either way, great experience from the bites and service. Good stuff for sure. Enjoy! read more

The strawberry soft serve at Banana Daddy is so good! I rarely finish desserts because they usually feel too heavy or overly sweet, but I end up finishing this every single time. It's light, refreshing, and doesn't leave you feeling gross afterward. The strawberry flavor tastes fresh and isn't overly artificial. If you're looking for a dessert that satisfies your sweet tooth without feeling too indulgent, this is definitely worth trying! read more

I wanted to be a hater so bad because I thought this was a rip off of Peel but I decided to try anyway and this blew my mind (and dare I say, I felt it was better than Peel)....I got the smores with the chocolate soft serve and the chocolate flavor was so deep and rich (not really for everyone if you don't love things that are really chocolately) and the graham cracker and marshmallow topping were sooo good!! The portion was pretty big- I split it with a couple people. Definitely coming back! read more

I love Banana Daddy--walking up to the shop on National Banana Day made my first visit feel extra fun and memorable. The staff was so friendly and even offered samples to make sure I liked my flavor before ordering, which I really appreciated. I got a vanilla and banana swirl topped with tons of sprinkles, and it was so good--sweet without tasting artificial or bland, even without added sugar. They even gave me stickers at checkout, which was such a cute touch, and overall it's an amazing dessert spot I'd definitely recommend!!!! read more

The flavor just wasn't there for me. It was disappointing, but I'm hoping this feedback helps because the concept and atmosphere have so much potential. read more

I don't usually get to say this about ice cream... but this place changed the game for me. Banana Daddy in Midtown Miami makes their soft serve from bananas (no dairy, no added sugar) and somehow it's still insanely creamy and actually so good. I usually have to avoid ice cream because it makes me feel sick, but this didn't at all. They have protein options, really fun flavors, and the toppings are amazing. You can tell everything is chef driven, and the pastries are just as good. Also the merch is actually so cute. Definitely my favorite spot for dessert in Miami read more

Banana Daddy is a let down. The frozen treat is icy and lacks the smooth texture you expect from a quality frozen treat. You're better off getting Oak Berry in my opinion for a fruity frozen dessert treat. However, the branding is great. But ultimately you can't eat tasty graphic design and witty copy. read more

Looks like this may be the first yelp review. We went on a Saturday day after their grand opening. They had a girl handing out free brownies outside. When we walked in we were greeted by one of the managers/owners who was very nice and explained about the concept. The inside is much smaller than what was there previously for patrons but this means more kitchen room so no wait for anything in that regard. Very clean and detailed interior. My friend got a cup and I got a sundae. The main ingredients are listed however the base is up to you. This wasn't initially explained, however I was given a brand new sundae subsequently with my choice of base (chocolate) which was incredibly delicious. Very nice of them. Highly recommend. read more
