This place is bananas...literally!…read more My love and I planned our nice little Saturday ("Old School" anyone?) around stopping at The Original Banana Company to grab some after-dinner sweet treats for later. Five Yelp stars across the board? Doesn't get much better than that! We were warmly greeted by the staff, and they explained the menu to us. Being the Yelpers we are, we already conducted our research and entered locked and loaded and ready with our selections: - Toasted Smores Frozen Banana - they even asked how I like my marshmallows (burnt, please)! - Rice Krispy Treat Frozen Banana - gooey and delicious on all levels - Special of the Day Frozen Banana - Lucky charms, marshmallow, and caramel. Yowza! - Cookie Butter Cheesecake - my cholesterol surely shot up 50 points after this. Amazing! - Nutella UFO - hazelnut goodness! - Peanut Butter UFO - who knew peanut butter and banana bread complemented each other so well? We had such a fun time chatting with the staff and checking out the cool banana-themed décor. This place is an instant mood booster! The bananas were AMAZING. So unique and so delicious. We tried to tip but we were told they are not permitted to accept gratuities. In this day and age when EVERYONE has their hand out for a tip, it was refreshing to be declined. But honestly, they actually DO deserve a tip, and a big one at that! They are SO FRIENDLY! We cannot wait to return. Our plan is to sample the entire menu!

Eons better than all of the other frozen fruit/chocolate covered sweet treats in the grocery store ice cream section. Their ice cream sandwiches were amazing too-- they are made with banana bread.

Let me start by saying I've been a patron of this establishment for years. The taste of the food is…read moreusually consistent with a couple of hiccups here and there. With that being said, two weeks ago I placed an order for 3 dozen creampuffs and scheduled a pick-up for 1:30p on Saturday (4/4). I arrived at 12:50p as I was in the area after traveling from Philly. Upon my arrival there was a line out the door and wrapped around the porch in 80 degree weather. Initially I bypassed the line thinking they must of been walk-in orders given that in the previous times I've placed orders they were always prepared with a slip stuck in the box(es) and you're in/out under 10-15mins. When I learned that everyone in line were customers that had placed orders, and were waiting to pick up, I took my place in line. During my 2.5+ hour wait myself (along with other customers) learned the following: 1. Napoleon's kept taking orders up until close the previous day (Fri. 4/3). That was shocking given that they usually stop taking orders days ahead of time. 2. They were giving some customers 50% off who were waiting since 11:30a but then giving other customers 10% off, and some were charged full price. At one point, a worker stood at the register and literally said "I'm just spit balling numbers here." 3. The staff at Napoleon's justified the hours long wait time because two staff members "called out." Here's my issue hence the low rating: While I am sympathetic to being short staffed, as a previous restaurant co-owner, being short staffed was not the problem today. The problem was disorganization and poor management. In my 2.5+ hour long wait I saw a staff member run in & out of the building several times taking people's names and original pick up time over and over again. How many times do you need to capture the same information? It was a waste of time. Secondly, nothing was prepped. Napoleon's took orders up until Friday yet they were in the process of baking cream puff shells, and making the filling the whole time I waited. None of it was prepped the night before or even the morning of. Thirdly, what they decided to charge the folks I waited with had no rhyme or reason. They gave one guy 50% off, another 10%, and then charged another full price. Either do it for all who waited, or don't do it at all. It's a slap in the face to people who spent valuable time in 80 degree weather to try and support your disorganized establishment. At 4:00p when my order was finally ALMOST ready, and I was told to pay full price, I raised this observation to the staff. I informed them my time, along with others, is valuable and the discount should be across the board. I was told "Ok, you can leave." I did exactly that. While the cream puffs are decent, they do not justify how the operation was mishandled and then the shitty customer service on top of it. It's simply the principle of it. I will never go back, and I encourage future patrons to not give it your time of day. You're simply a $ to the money hungry owner, and they do not care about customer satisfaction. You've been warned.

The donuts are so delicious and every time I get them they are fresh. The store has a nice selection of classic flavors, our favorites are the ricotta cannoli donuts by far. You heard me, cannoli cream filled into a powdered donut, it's so tasty. The boston cream and regular glazed are really good too! We've also tried their regular cannolis and enjoyed them as well. The counter workers are always kind and attentive, and I never have to wait to long. It's a small little store front with lots of hidden goodies, I'd definitely recommend a stop. (I also think the prices are really fair in this economy for the quality food you are getting)

My friend recommended Comfort Cakes and gave me the Instagram account to look through all their previous work. It all looked so amazing but I still wasn't sure what I wanted. I was able to contact the owner, Marlitta, and together we worked on a flavor profile and what I wanted the cake to look like (kind of) all I said was "eleganza" and boy did she deliver!! It had the most beautiful mirror-like chocolate drip that would make even the most skilled GBBO contestant jealous, beautiful buttercream piping topped with actual peanut butter cups and the cake itself was the most delicious and satisfying I have had in a while. I'm so glad that I didn't go store-bought for this and my boyfriend really appreciated the effort Marlitta went through to make it. We will definitely be returning for more!

Small unassuming place but the menu of flavors and offerings is almost as big as the building. Must be a few hundred offerings. While waiting our turn, we asked another customer what was good. He gave the generic "everything " but when pressed said to try the banana pudding strawberry shake. The menu was still daunting so I said what the heck and gave it a try. Pure Heaven through a straw. It was soooo sooooo good. I would have never thought about a shake as ai always get sundaes and I definitely would not have combined those flavors. What an amazing combination. I cannot express in words how good it was. To the gentleman who made the suggestion, you sir are my hero. Thank you thank you thank you.
