The most unique coffeehouse in Oceanside! Banana Dang serves up fresh coffee beverages, smoothies, toasts and other light bites. The funky vibe radiates "beach town chill" and their menu echos that sentiment. I come here weekly for the Shakened Banana drink, a delicious concoction of iced espresso, honey, banana puree, cinnamon and oat milk. I also love their dirty banana mylk, chocolate chip banana bread, and the cinnamon toast. To be frank, all of their stuff is too notch. Service is great and the staff is friendly. It can get busy, but I still enjoy relaxing there for a bit and checking out the merch and local art on display. If you're visiting for the first time be sure to read their origin story. Pro Tip: If you brew coffee at home, pickup a bag of beans to enjoy anytime.

Banana Shakened latte, Dirty Banana Mylk
Angela D.

Really cool themed cafe for bananas!! 5 stars for the ambiance, 4 stars for the drinks. Bf and I had the Shaken banana latte and the dirty banana mylk. I liked the dirty mylk more bc I actually liked the coffee offset with the subtle banana flavor. Bf liked the shaken latte bc it tasted more like banana The straws were so interesting too! Like bamboo kind of which fit well with the theme. Service was fast, thank you for getting our drinks out fast on a hot summer day!!

Shaken Banana Latte + menu

I have been on a quest to quench my craving for the best banana-inspired latte...and I dare say Banana Dang is the BEST! I tried the iced shaken banana and let me describe in detail: 1. totally natural yet balanced banana flavor 2. silky smooth texture (can liquid be a texture?) 3. the perfect espresso to milk to ice ratio (ideal latte color) the staff was welcoming, friendly, and super chill - expect a relaxed vibe in the cafe! they provided great recs and I can't wait to try the entire menu. yes, this spot is worth the drive or walk or bike as someone who has tried a crazy amount of banana lattes in the SD & North County areas. obsessed is an understatement!

Banana Dang has been around forever and I'm happy to see it hasn't changed much since when it first opened. It is a cute little shop with plenty of seating and a full menu of food/drink. Obviously they specialize in all things banana, so you can find many smoothies, toasts and drinks with it. I went for the toast + iced banana latte with oat milk. Everything was really good, definitely one of the best banana lattes i've had. It is very well balanced between the espresso and banana flavor. The toast was really good and bigger than expected. I would've loved some salt and pepper and maybe a bit more flavor on it.

Ahhahaha yes! Love this sign

All I can say is dannnnnnnggggg. I'm more of a strong bold viet coffee kinda person but their coffee is just as good. I got the banana shaken latte. Very mild banana flavor added an extra touch to the coffee. I also got the banana toast with rosemary bread. Also very good. Service was fast. I also liked the unique decor and their bathroom sign that I took a picture of.

Banana latte and green tea latte

The banana latte here is absolutely to die for. We stumbled upon this gem while walking around Oceanside and fell in love. Super cute interior, incredibly friendly service, and amazing drinks. I wish I lived closer, but now I just have a great excuse to visit Oceanside more often!

Dirty banana milk

Came back with my husband and had to update my review. I feel like Banana Dang has leveled up or something. Much better vibes and friendlier staff. Food and drinks are still good. I tried the Green Fire, which was really yummy. Also had a cappuccino. This has become one of my favorite spots when I'm in Oceanside. I just love the art, the chillness, the banana-theme, the community flavor. This time I saw they had some free stickers and a sheet with recommendations for other businesses to check out in Oceanside. Super cool. See you next time BD!

What a fun and quirky coffee shop. Staff is so friendly and welcoming. My matcha was okay. I'm sure the coffee drinks or smoothies are better. I love that they use hay straws!

I love their Banana Iced Shaken Espresso! It's a different combination that I would never think to have, but the banana pairs perfectly with the espresso. The baristas are friendly here and prepare your drinks with much TLC. It has seating on the inside. There is art on the walls along with an area of merchandise that can be purchased. Tote bags, tee shirts etc. When I want something different from an ordinary latte, I come here. Also, you can order this drink half-sweet if that suits you. The only downside is that parking is sometimes difficult. However, with that being said, if you've never tried the banana- espresso combination, this is the place to do it!

First time here got recommended by a friend and wow it didn't disappoint. I ordered the banana latte and the Banana Fire avocado toast--both were amazing. I'll admit, the banana and avocado combo sounded a little strange at first, but one bite completely changed my mind. It was easily one of the most delicious and unique things I've ever tried--my taste buds were seriously blown away. The latte was solid too--smooth coffee with a subtle hint of banana flavor. I also noticed they offer smoothies, which I'd love to try next time, and their hay straws were such a cool concept! The seating area was comfortable, and I liked that they had board games like connect 4 available--it added a fun, relaxed vibe. The service was great as well; the cashier had such a friendly and positive energy. I'll definitely be coming back!

Shakend banana - so good!!
Elisa H.

I've only been here a few times but every time I come, the drinks are amazing and the service is top tier. The place itself has a funky laid back vibe and I love the decor. The shakened banana is my go to order / it's espresso, banana, honey, cinnamon and oat milk. Perfection. I am not a person who usually likes banana sweetened things so the fact that I'm obsessed with this place says a lot. I need to come back for food!!

Neat little banana themed cafe right outside the Pendelton South base area. Service is friendly and efficient. I got myself a peanut butter banana smoothie of sort. It wasn't too sweet and gave me just enough carbs to power through an incline heavy hike. Surprisingly, the cafe has no banana milk! Unbelievable! Street parking is available and Amex taken. Too bad it's not dog-friendly and everything tends to be on the sweeter side of things.

Banana Dang in Oceanside is an absolute gem. Parking is street parking only, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a spot right in front of the shop, which already felt like a good omen. I ordered the banana latte with two extra pumps of banana (because if you're going to Banana Dang, you commit), along with the gluten-free concha--and wow. The concha was hands-down the softest, freshest gluten-free concha I've ever had, and it paired perfectly with the banana latte. Not dry, not crumbly, just pillowy and comforting in the best way. The shop itself is cozy and inviting, and the chairs were actually comfortable enough that I stayed and finished everything inside instead of rushing out. It's one of those places that quietly encourages you to slow down and enjoy what you ordered. I'm visiting from Maui, and as someone who genuinely loves banana, this spot made me very happy. Thoughtful flavors, cozy atmosphere, and a menu that clearly knows what it's doing. I'd absolutely come back and will be recommending this place to anyone who appreciates a well-done specialty latte and an exceptional gluten-free pastry.

So if you're easily distracted I'd say no. It's not a quiet coffee shop and it gets pretty loud. There are only two tables and one tall table. Additional bar seating by its hard to get books in there. A lot of moms come in with young kids to. I LOVE…

Decided to cruise by this place this morning on our way to get some sandbags…read more These doughnuts are exceptional - artisanal and gourmet. Good variety of flavors/combos - they all looked delicious. What makes these doughnuts special (IMHO) is that they have a light crust that adds texture while inside is not dense or "cakey". We tried the mini-doughnuts, the Strawberry Shortcake and their signature French Toast. Soooo tasty - and I am not a donut guy, for the record. The service was fast and the gent behind the counter was pleasant enough. Small seating area right outside (I don't think I recall seeing seating inside because I was MAD focused on the doughnuts lol) and the interior decor felt warm and inviting. I was really impressed with these doughnuts and would DEF eat them again. Super HQ offerings here. One of the better donuts I've tried (on par with some of the better places I've been to in LA and NYC).

Each doughnut is shareable unless you have different cravings or flavor palates than whoever you're there with. Definitely a pit stop as you walk around the area.

When I'm craving a delicious breakfast made with high-quality, organic, whole-food ingredients, I can order online, swing by, and pick it up without dealing with the rush.

With both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a dog-friendly patio, it's an easy place to meet friends or enjoy a quiet morning.
