Food * Ordered halfsies of The Malteser, The Half Step, and The German Chocolate for 4 people, they gave us a couple of free Maltese packs because they are having the Maltese special this week. * The Malteser: My favorite one out of all three, you can really taste the Maltese * The Half Step: This one is also good, especially if you're into cinnamon * The German Chocolate: I'm not a big fan of coconut flakes so this was my least favorite but it's still pretty good regardless. Taste (texture, flavor(bland/spicy/sweet)) * The bananas are served on a plastic spoon stick. This is especially useful because on the last couple of bites there's a 98% chance that the banana will fall off the stick. So you can use the spoon to scoop the last bites. Atmosphere * It is located within Space 24 Twenty, which is an event space owned by Urban Outfitters. So the furnishings and setting are very nice and urban. Plenty of wooden chairs and tables. It's a nice place to chill * Space is outdoors so it can get really hot during the summer, but they do have a couple of electrical outlets in the area even though it is and outdoor space * Since it is located near UT, the crowd is mostly college students * Plenty of street parking available near the area read more

Bananarchy - Halfsies of The Malteser, Texas Two Step, and The German Chocolate - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Frozen banana on a stick (ok, a spoon) with toppings! Amazing! Tucked away off Guadalupe in a courtyard.

Their prices right now are pretty good. The staff is pretty friendly. One even helped me wrapped the bananas. There are also vegan options if you are vegan. I am not but it's good to know so you can bring your vegan friends read more

Exactly as advertised! I had the vegan chocolate peanut butter joint and it was Fuego. Staff is friendly and efficient too. Yum!! read more

Bananarchy - Halfsie, white chocolate, toffee & caramel drizzle. Whole, chocolate, MnMs & peanut butter drizzle. Shall I say more?? - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

I love Bananarchy! It's just so good and not too expensive for a light but sweet dessert after dinner! Sometimes the wait is awhile but trust me it's worth it. As you can see I have been multiple times and my favorite is the peanut butter pie banana! read more

Great healthy-ish dessert option for those of us that are health-conscious/trying to reach fitness goals. I ordered the frozen banana with vegan chocolate and nuts. Overall thought the chocolate was much too thick and the nuts too salty, which made this healthy-ish dessert less healthy and appealing for me. Also I couldn't make sense of the spoon stuck to the end of the banana - was it supposed to be used as a stick or as a utensil to eat the banana? It'd be much easier to eat the banana on an actual stick than a floppy spoon. read more

First customers on opening day with no one else around! Wow. If you don't want to stand in line, head to the 53rd Street location. Well, until every other person in Austin hears about the new location. Had a Halfie of the Texas Two Step. A Frozen nanner dipped in chocolate, with toffee pieces, pecans, cinnamon and peanut butter drizzle. Yeehaw! Felt like two-steppin' after eating this delicious bit of cowboy heaven. read more

If you're looking for a healthier take on desert, Bananarchy is your place. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Usually I go for a chocolate dip with Oreo and coconut. Another favorite is one of the specials they had which was called the Banana Unsplit - whip cream, strawberry jam, nuts, and chocolate dip. I've been here many times and always leave satisfied! read more

Bananarchy - Banana Unsplit - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

If you're craving something sweet but also don't want to feel like you're indulging too much, this is the place for you - or if you simply are a banana fantastic. I like how they offer vegan dips & toppings and also plenty of non chocolate options (I don't like chocolate - shocking, right?). I also like to get the 1/2 banana size. A full frozen banana is a bit too much frozen banana for me. read more

Bananarchy - Special Piña Colada (vanilla dip, coconut shaving & canned pineapple) & make your own (chocolate dip, graham cracker, & chocolate sauce). - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place makes me wanna eat bananas for desert. I sorta feel healthy! Hurrah! They take cash and card which is convenient, and finding parking isn't hard. Relaxing outside sitting and pretty scenery. I've never been an enormous fan of bananas but this place might change my mind! :) Lots of combos to chose from, and vegan options too! Yum!! read more

Bananarchy - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

We've been driving and walking past this groovy-looking business in our neighborhood for a while now and finally checked it out. I shared the huge S'mores Banana wholesie with my husband. A frozen banana dipped in chocolate, rolled in graham cracker crumbs, and topped with toasted marshmallow--delicious! We were amused by the Arrested Development references, which we were told by our friendly bananarchist was the inspiration for the business. Fun and delicious offerings. read more

Bananarchy - Delicious Wholesie S'mores Banana. A frozen delight! - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

They have made the frozen banana an art form!! Absolutely crazy delicious! Halfsies were plenty for me & my husband. Try to go with friends so you can get to try some different flavors! read more

At this point, Bananarchy can do no wrong. Their flavor combos are creative and delicious. The weekly banana is always new and is updated constantly on their instagram page. I love the Gob if you're going big before going home. Otherwise, the Texas two-step and hippy dippy are two of my favorites. You can also make your own with lots of options to choose from and plenty of room on a banana. They even have vegan or gluten-free toppings available. Both locations have great staff, though the 53rd st. truck is frequently less packed. read more

Bananarchy - Texas Two-Step halfsie - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

First time trying a frozen banana and I actually enjoyed it more than I expected! The bananas are frozen to begin. You choose a dipping (vanolla, chocolate, or caramel) and the you pick your toppings! I went with a fan favorite and chose the cookie crumble which contained chocolate chip cookie and oreo crumbs. Added toffee with my free topping for checking in through Yelp. Total came out to $4.75 for a full banana. They also serve half bananas which is a good size too. I'd probably get a half next time. read more

Oooooooooooh my gosh, it's so delicious. Like, I've had chocolate covered bananas that I buy in the frozen aisle at HEB but they are the saddest little disappointments compared to the masterpieces they give you at Bananarchy. Seriously, it's night and day. Pro tip: the wholesie is huuuuuge so unless you're starving go with the halfsie. And, in case you're wondering, the perfect Bananarchy treat is dipped in vegan chocolate and rolled in peanuts and cinnamon. Order this and you will not be disappointed! read more

BAAAAAAAnaaaanassssss!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm so happy i found this place thanks to IG lol 1.Friendly service 2. Good atmosphere 3. Delicious bananas 4. Again delicious bananas 5. Definitely I'm coming back for more BAAAAAnanaaaaaasssss ;) read more

Do you remember watching arrested development and hearing about the Frozen Banana Stand stories? I always thought "whats the appeal of that? its just a whacky AD thing". Then came Trader Joes with their chocolate covered frozen banana slices, and I was like...ok...I can MAYBE see how this is a "thing". When the Kabob cart next door was too spicy for my kiddos (and me quite honestly), I turned to this neighbor for some relief...with zero expectation. Um...YUM. It's just any old banana, and we got it covered in chocolate and sprinkles for the kids but I bet covered with nuts would be good too. Its good quality chocolate that adults can enjoy too. Bananarchy blew my mind! read more

Everyone was going bananas about Bananarchy so I decided to stop monkeying around and actually try it for myself. Okay so, parking was not easy. It almost convinced me not to stay but god bless the person that was leaving when I was about to give up. The atmosphere is so nice here and so many cute dogs! I spent my wait time just playing with them. When I got my order, I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't think I'd like the taste of a frozen banana, but the frozen fruit is actually pretty delicious lathered in chocolate and toppings. I wasn't able to finish my order, but definitely enjoyed the experience. read more

Bananarchy - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

These are intense. And giant. Kind of awkward - you can't hold them up like a popsicle - the weight of the coating & candy & all would break the plastic spoon that sticks out as a handle. I found the whole situation sort of overwhelming. read more

love love LOVE!! I may be biased because I love dark chocolate but this is THE place to come if you are wanting a refreshing dessert that will not leave you feeling sick and will satisfy your taste buds. My personal favorite is the vegan chocolate with nuts -- also a solid choice. I also love getting some of the creative (and delicious) weekly specials. Tons of options, you can choose your own dips and toppings. My suggestion: get the wholsie because you get double the banana for only a dollar more!! read more

Can't stop eating here! Perfect treat instead of dairy/ice cream. They don't over saturate their bananas with thick hard shell waxy chocolate. They have the perfect balance along with tons of topping options. They come up with bad ass varieties like cake with chocolate or s'mores banana. Or make your own which I occasionally do. I really want to share my love for this place because it truly is a fun unique dessert everyone must try. I kid you not- stop drop and bananarchy stat! This shiz is unbeatable and never gets old. read more

This review is for Bananarchy's catering services at my wedding on 4/16/16. We had a casual, cocktail-style reception. Mostly high-top tables, no assigned seating, with food and dessert services running throughout the party. We wanted a dessert option at our wedding that was NOT cake, Austin-y, delicious, easy to serve, and offered options for all of our guests with dietary restrictions. We also needed something that fit our budget. We looked at a few different options, but most just were not a good value and some had negative reviews that didn't sit well with us. I've always loved Bananarchy but my then-fiance had never tried them and was skeptical. His experience with frozen bananas was that they were often too frozen to eat, made a mess, and just weren't very interesting. He changed his mind when he tried one at Banarachy - they are the perfect consistency, the dippings and toppings are quality, they are prepared well, and the service is excellent. Not only was he cool with having Bananarchy at our wedding, we made an attempt to get a banana every time they had a an odd opening during their off-season. I want one right now actually. Laura and Kelsey at Bananarchy were so easy to work with. They were flexible, friendly and responsive. We paid them in full upfront, and when we had a reduction in guests, they were happy to make up the different with extra toppings. We were worried that service might take too long for our 150 guests since it can take a few minutes to get a banana normally at their food truck, but they assured us that would not be the case at our event and they were right. Service moved fast! Also, this is a GREAT value for a made-to-order dessert option. The price is right. Many of our guests had the same experience my now-husband had. They went in with low expectations and came away big fans. No one was disappointed that there wasn't cake, and many appreciated something different. Our lactose-sensitive friends were happy. Our health-conscious friends felt a little easier. Some people went crazy with their bananas, some went simple. We made the right choice. I'll also note that our catering service was Veracruz All Natural. We felt like the combination of made-to-order Veracruz tacos and Bananarchy frozen bananas were a perfect marriage. read more

Listen, this is my favorite dessert ever. I buy and/or make chocolate covered bananas all the time. I am amazed this place exists and was so excited to try it out. I think the price is spot on for convenience and a lot of the toppings don't cost extra to add. Plus you don't have to worry about tax, just hand over a $5. Very easy. Only complaint is that I wish they came on longer popsicle sticks instead of a plastic spoon and I wish you could cut it with a knife or something. Biting down with my teeth is super cold so I tried to bite with back teeth, and I definitely got it all over my face. Not the cutest first date spot for that reason, but highly recommend this place otherwise!! read more

There's always money in the banana stand! I LOVE this place. It reminds me of Arrested Development and I can get a delicious semi healthy dessert? Sign me up! And now that they are at 53rd street I could walk over for a Gob any time I want. read more

Bananarchy - Joe banana halfsie with nuts! - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Eh -- maybe I went too late but I was very unimpressed with the bananas and the taste. It looked great being photographed but my three friends and I had a hard time actually finishing the banana and all the toppings. I think there is an expectation that the banana would be soft and creamy (like Ice cream) but it's more hard like a Popsicle and combined with the texture of some of the toppings, it becomes kind of difficult to eat and chew on. I think the place was very cute and the names were all unique and funny. I just wish it tasted better. read more

One of my favorite dessert places. If you love bananas and chocolate then you need to try this place! My favorite is chocolate dipped banana with peanut butter. read more

this place is amazing and i'm in love i always want a chocolate banana from bananarchy

Delicious! Love how they use Arrested Development puns and completely embrace it. You can get a half or full banana with delicious toppings including chocolate, peanut butter, Oreos, etc. read more

My daughters favorite place near campus. A good healthy banana dipped and rolled in every imaginable sauce, spread, nut..... you can imagine. I tasted hers and I admit it was addictive. She had to snatch it away from me. They even have the punch cards to reward you addiction! read more

I was never a fan of frozen banana until I came across this little trailer. My friend really wanted to get a dessert and he insisted to come here, so I reluctantly ordered half a banana. Omg it's delicious. It's like ice cream, but healthier so you won't feel too guilty to add chocolate sauce and sprinkles on it. Too bad I move to North Austin now, otherwise I'd come back a lot. I wish they will open a new spot somewhere in the north. read more

One word: delicious! I love the texture of a frozen banana, it's basically like a popsicle! The taste of the frozen banana added in with a dip in sauce and toppings, this dessert is heaven! I personally chose to make my own but there are plenty of premade bananas to chose from. There are also vegan options for those who can't eat animal products. read more

Delish! Really enjoyed this treat, even better eating it in the rain under the umbrella. These are big - splitting one with someone you love is the way to go. They do not skimp on the chocolate or toppings! Today's treat was chocolate dipped wholesie with Reese's pieces. Great quick service and a delicious frozen treat. read more

Bananarchy - Chocolate dip with Reese's pieces. Messy but delicious. - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Great concept, especially for a self-professed health nut like myself. Who wouldn't want a frozen banana dipped in chocolate with coconut shavings on top??!? (Which was exactly what I ordered heh.) Execution, however, was poor. Or maybe I was just expecting something different. My friend and I waited a long time for our orders (which by the way, was not the problem, as service was excellent,) and upon finally receiving them, we realized why: Each banana had been dipped into vanilla/chocolate syrup at least five times, and the layer of coating was so thick, it was a struggle just to fit the whole thing into our mouths! Now I'm not sure if that's just how they do it in Texas, but for my California taste buds, it was just wayyyyyy too sweet. I honestly couldn't take more than a few bites before wanting to gag. :(( (Also sensing a lot of potential that's what she said jokes in this review but ah well LOL.) Anyways, if you still want to come here, I would highly suggest getting the vanilla dipping instead (the one my friend got,) as it was slightly less sweet and more palatable than the chocolate one. As for me, I think I'd rather stick to the healthier versions of such treats back in LA haha. read more

This place is awesome. I'm so glad they've posted up in the North Loop neighborhood so I can walk here for a late night treat. They definitely price the bananas to encourage you to get the whole size instead of the half, but I tell myself that I can splurge because it's mostly banana, right? I like the chocolate with oreo or the cookie crumble - both are awesome. The specials they have are also always a nice treat. read more

Delicious frozen bananas! Got a Joe Banana and Afternoon Delight. Both so refreshing. Cute chairs with tent covers over them and fans so you can relax. read more

Bananarchy - Joe banana and Afternoon Delight - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

I went to Bananarchy multiple times during ACL weekend 2 and am now a HUGE fan. Both times I had the chocolate and heath bar flavor and am super excited to try the build your own and other flavors at the actual food truck. I was worried that the banana would be too hard/frozen and I would have to wait for it to thaw before eating, but it was the perfect not-too-frozen consistency. I'll definitely be back for more, either for a late night treat or semi-healthy snack! read more

such a cute little food truck!!! i'm slightly allergic to bananas but i won't hesitate to go back here because it's delicious. i got the s'mores banana and it was amazing. they are pretty sweet with all the toppings, so if you don't have a big sweet tooth i suggest minimal toppings. staff is super helpful; sara is awesome!!! super sweet and wholesome soul that helped me on my first time. definitely will come here the next time i come to austin!!! read more
