    Thanks to yelp! I was able to discover this intresting dessert. I used the words intresting because it looks like banana pudding, however its not. Actually it doesn't contain any bananas at all. So what exactly is it, you might ask? Well to me, its like a mixture between cake batter and a mousse type pudding, nonetheless it was delicious and definitely a cute little dessert you can splurge on after dinner. The shop is a small family business owned store. The young lady at the counter was really nice and helpful. She explained that the recipe was originated by her mother, simply trying something that turned out to be delicious. The young lady then explained the different flavors that they offer, some to name are sweet potato pie, cookies and cream, strawberry and birthday cake. Banana mousse is packaged in a small container that comes with cookies already placed in the dessert. Overall its good however its way too pricey, 7.00 for dessert its outrageous for me. It would be nice if they had a little deal like a two for one which allows the consumer to try their different flavors but that's just my opinion. If your ever in the community give this unique dessert a try!

    Super overrated! Saw this place all over my Instagram feed so I decided to stop in. The owner was a complete jerk, very rude, and anti social which turned me off immediately as a fellow female entrepreneur. Nothing advertised was in stock so I was pretty much forced to choose between two flavors. I expected the mousse to at least be cold, even though I know it's not an ice cream it was just thick and hot (like mucus) sorry that's the best way I can describe it... And the location is pretty vague, no sign or anything just on a random corner in west Philly. Never again

    Drove 2 hours to try this businesses product. The pictures really stood out but once I tasted the original mousse. I was disappointed in the texture and flavor. It was more cookie crumbs than expected and nothing else. The texture was like churned butter. The Oreo milkshake did not look like the picture. The staff stated it was a cost issue that's why it wasn't decorated like the picture. The milkshake was thick and creamy with a cool wide straw. Overall the milkshake was okay but the mousse was not. But by the time I got home the mousse softened but the flavor was still poor. Maybe I will give it a second chance considering they only offered 1 flavor the day I went.

    This is a really cute place! I actually found out about it through TikTok and Instagram and decided to go over myself. It's a little deep into West Philly, and it is definitely a hole-in-the-wall type place. They serve milkshakes and mousse - both of which were pretty good! The milkshake was made fresh, and it was great (and aesthetically pleasing). The only issue we had was that one of the mousses that we ordered was a little bit frozen (I assume they were made before and put into a fridge or freezer). The birthday cake and sweet potato mousses were both great though. Service was pleasant - we walked in and ordered with a credit card, but you are also able to pre-order on their website. Good overall, and I'd probably come back!

    We ordered a banana milkshake and a birthday cake milkshake. They were huge! The flavors were perfect and the banana milkshake included plenty of chessman butter cookies. The employees were also super friendly. I'll be returning soon!

    It's a unique taste. Can't quiet put my finger on it. Purchased from Uber Eats, the price was a little steep. 7 bucks for the dessert and 5 something for the fee.

    "Fresh" product purchased 7/3/18 with a best by date 28/6/19

    Oh Banana Mousse, you held such promise on a hot summer night - but all I got was disappointment. The product: Mediocre at best. I went to Banana Mousse with a couple friends because I was craving dessert and it was something new. I was intrigued by the description that it is "a cross between ice cream and pudding, but taste like neither" but see the reason is - it taste like nothing. Got the chocolate flavor and my friends got birthday cake. The only actual flavor came from the cookies/cake on top. (-2 Stars) The business practices: Only two bites in to my flavorless mistake, I took a glance at the lid only to notice that the month and day of the expiration date had been crossed out with marker. To confirm what information was missing, I looked at a friend's to see his expiration date was there (28/6/19). Sickened by this and knowing they were about to close, I quickly returned to the store in search of a refund. Paying $7 for a little bucket of crap, that I'll do... but $7 for an expired bucket of crap is down right disrespectful. When I returned to speak to the manager, I explained the situation. She was well aware that this food safety transgression has taken place. (-2 Stars) The customer service: Despite this, she stated she could not issue a refund because the factory seal on the product they "make fresh daily" was broken. She suggested that if I didn't think it was fresh I throw it away. (-2 Stars) Here are all the peculiar things about her response: 1. If you are making products fresh daily, why are they factory sealed and dated in a European format? Who in Europe knew what date you were making these? 2. If you are making products fresh daily, why would the two products purchased the same time have "best used by" dates in different years? 3. If you are making products fresh daily, why wouldn't you refund a purchase made 30 minutes before closing? Wasn't it about to end up in the trash so you can make tomorrow's fresh batch of mush? 4. If you are the manager of an establishment, why would you ever be so unprofessional as to end an interaction with a customer by suggestions they throw your product away? In conclusion, there's not enough quality dessert in West Philadelphia. Banana Mousse has done nothing to change that. Realistically this establishment deserves a -1 Star rating, but in adherence with Yelp standards this is the lowest score allowed. Luckily there's a Fresh Grocer a 7 minute walk from this rubbish place, and for $7 you can more than satisfy your sweet tooth there.

    I saw this treat on Uber Eats frequently but was thought it was a little much to pay for delivery for dessert only. My coworker likes to go to Hyons next door and I randomly noticed the store and decided to try it out since it was sans delivery fees. It's honestly been a while since I've been services by such an energetic and enthusiastic and pleasant worker. The woman at the counter was absolutely fantastic and welcoming and answered all my questions I had about the product. It really is an original type of texture - definitely more mousse but much thicker. I had it both frozen and thawed and didn't have a preference - it tasted good either way! I would've given this treat 5 stars but I was originally under the impression there was banana in the original product. It was explained to me that it was removed due to issues BUT I really thought the original flavor would've been outstanding with a natural banana flavor so I was disappointed they no longer offer that option. The advertisements are also a bit misleading as the mousse isn't packed, fluffy and overflowing the cup and isn't as large as a portion size as indicated in stock photos. All in all, it's worth stopping in if you're in the area and in the mood for a unique treat but I don't think the serving size justifies ordering via delivery app unless you're getting multiples. Really hope this business does well - everything from the customer service to packaging was really top notch! The owner has a lot of pride in this product and it shows. I definitelyplan to return and try more flavors! Oh! FYI: I was charged an additional $1.50 fee for using a debit card. Seems a little steep for a surcharge IMO

    Taste is delicious,just not enough for the price paid...

    It's definitely a toss up of a question, but I think Jeni's has the best ice cream in the city…read more With a basic vanilla that hits that hard, everything else is bound to be good. I've been a regular at Jeni's for some time now. This location operates on a smaller plot of land for sure, but the line moves quickly, because of a super helpful, super friendly set of staff. Note, there's a good chance that you'll be eating your ice cream outside on the side walk, but honestly it won't be too long before it's gone anyways. Flavors are reliable and on-point. Prices have fluctuated for sure over the years, but if you're coming with a group, I'd recommend the Story, to be able to try as many of their excellent flavors as you can. Plus, it's cheaper per scoop than all other options. My only knock is that they used to be way more adventurous in the past than they are now. I remember way back when they had an everything bagel flavor... that literally was spot on. Like so much so that it was not a good ice cream flavor because it was too accurate. Wish they had that same adventuring spirit again, but that's no knock to the quality of this local establishment.

    Stopped in here on the walk back to a friend's apartment and got a few pints to take with us…read more Butter Cream Birthday Cake, Gren Mint Chip and Goat Cheese with Red Cherries. All were great, but if I had to choose just one, it's the Goat Cheese with Red Cherries. OMG. The Bomb !!!
