Food = 5 stars Service = amazing Ambiance = cool Don't miss out if you love grandmas banana pudding with some added yumminess ! We bought the classic the day prior and had to come back to get another and try the strawberry one. It's a coin toss for first place for us and we are both big backs and dipped our spoons in each others cups lol . If I could order online and have it shipped to me, I'd be a frequent customer lol. Amazing !
The people that work there are awesome. Looks good, but it's 90% whipped cream and Nilla Wafers. Skip.
Was in Philadelphia for business and had the opportunity on my last day there to try some desert and Sweet Nina's. The owner was there and she was very friendly while discussing her business. The flavor of the Banana pudding was great with just the right of amount of banana's, cookies, pudding and whipped cream. The cup was full of flavor overflowed with every bite . Next time I'm back in Philly I will be stopping by to get next serving of banana pudding!
Employees were nice and happy to answer questions. They had limited options when we were there, but I always want the classic option anyway. You get a lot of pudding for the price. It was delicious!
Absolutely delicious!!! Hands down the best banana pudding I've had on vacation -- perfectly creamy, rich, and full of flavor. The banana-to-vanilla balance was spot on, and every bite felt like comfort in a cup. I'd 100% get it again!
Amazing banana pudding. Probably the best banana pudding I've ever had just go get it and you'll see.
If you're looking for some seriously good banana pudding, Sweet Nina's is the spot. Chef's kiss for everything -- the bananas, the pudding, the cookie -- all hit just right. Perfect balance of crunch and sweetness. It's absolutely worth every penny. They offer different flavors, but I stuck with the original because I'm a creature of habit. Next time though? I'm definitely branching out and trying another flavor -- maybe something even better than the original (if that's possible). The service was great too -- the woman who helped us was friendly and served us with a smile. Highly recommend!
We bought the classic the day prior and had to come back to get another and try the strawberry one. Both of the were really good. It's basically grandmas banana pudding! Service was really great. Wish they had Sweet Nina in Florida!
This is the first time I've tried banana pudding, so I really don't know how this compares to others, but I thought the banana pudding here was delicious! Their Classic Vanilla flavor is $7, and all the other flavors are $8. We got the classic and the vanilla pudding with chocolate drizzle. Both were really good, and I don't think any of the flavors can go wrong! I thought the wafer bits on the top of the cup would be like a crunchy, crumble topping, but all the wafer pieces were soft. The pudding was very light, almost like a light vanilla whipped cream. I normally don't like straight up pudding, so I really like their balanced ratio of banana, wafer, and pudding. The amount of wafers they put in a cup made it taste more like a banana cream cake than banana pudding. I wish there was a Sweet Nina's closer to my area. I was surprised to find out that this is the only location and that they're actually a very small local business. If I lived closer, I'd definitely visit here often to support them!
Every time we're in Philly I try to make a visit and grab some banana pudding, but every time I've tried it's been closed... until now! We picked up three different flavors and were told as first timers that "you're in for a treat... you definitely won't be disappointed." Fresh ingredients and made fresh daily. The banana pudding was delicious! Creamy pudding with soft wafers and fruit. Worth a stop if you're in the market!

Service was great but tbh these are way over priced. Was so excited to try these, thought I was going to taste something amazing but it was just your average banana pudding to me. I mean, don't get me wrong it is good but again, definitely not worth all that money. I could go to a grocery store and buy some and would be just as satisfied read more

Hands down the best banana pudding I've had! Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the pudding since I was so eager to eat it. I ordered their original banana pudding and wow, it was just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess. Very cute little store inside Reading terminal and there are so many puddings to chose from. Service was quick and the cashier was very sweet. read more
As a Southerner, I was left scratching my head with this one. I loved talking with the staff and shooting the breeze with them, and they were super helpful and informative along the way. However, after trying the Caramel Pecan banana pudding as well as the Pineapple/Strawberry Pound Cake banana pudding, we were left underwhelmed. It's more of a custard than a true banana pudding. The mix-ins overpowered the "pudding" by a long shot, leaving the dessert unbalanced. It didn't taste bad, but I found it more enjoyable by reframing it as a parfait. They have so many creative flavors so the concept is there but the execution falls short. read more

My love for banana pudding, this amazing discovery was recommended to me and boy ohhhh boy. It was soooooooo good. I don't think I'll ever go back to Philly but IF I DO....Sweet Nina's is THEE FIRST STOP. Customer service was great. Taste was great and never waited in line. read more
This pudding was divine. I will be finding my way back here as I'll be in the area again soon enough. The 8 oz cup of caramel pecan pudding I got was already pre-prepared and the ordering was pretty seamless, even with some card payment issues they had. The 8 oz for this flavor was $8, which is a bit pricey, especially tracking what their prices used to be for the size. However, we are in a time of inflation and I understand businesses do what they must to stay afloat. It was still a decent size for a quick treat. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying the additional flavors. read more

Nothing I wouldn't do for some good banana pudding. Randomly walked past Nina's in Reading Terminal and had to stop by. I've heard a lot about this place from various food blogs so I knew I had to get some. I liked this take on the classic dessert. I was expecting it to be very sweet, but it really exceeded my expectations. A nice balance of sweet and creamy. The strawberry was excellent. I love supporting Black owned businesses in the city. Hoping Sweet Nina's opens more locations. Can't wait to eat more! read more

It was our first time down to the market, and I've definitely found my new favorite sweet stop in Philly. Banana pudding is my favorite and the flavor options all sounded amazing. The pudding was fluffy and the flavors blended smoothly. Definitely going to have to try more of the flavors. read more

Thank You! We are so glad you chose Sweet Nina’s as your dessert…
Had this as a quick snack when traveling through the Reading Terminal Market the other day. The banana pudding was a nice, light, sweet snack that my wife and I devoured. The girl working at the front was super polite and light hearted for an especially busy day. read more

Who doesn't love banana pudding? Located in Reading Terminal, passed by Sweet Nina's and yes banana pudding caught my eye. I know what I want to get for dessert here. Wow, with 8 choices to choose from, decided on 2 flavors. The popular ones sell out fast or they may not have them for the day...so be prepared and have a second choice. That's what happened - no Nutter Butter the day I was here so settled on the Classic vanilla and strawberry banana pudding. They come in cute 8oz cups. The classics are $6 and specialty mixes are $8. Classic vanilla banana pudding 8oz $6 Strawberry banana pudding 8.5 oz $8 Have to be careful opening the lids as the nilla wafers do go flying...use the other side of the lid to mix and eat or share - multipurpose :) I prefer the classic the best as for me strawberries are usually hit or miss depending on the season. both were good but classic vanilla was my preference. it was very good and definitely not too sweet like other banana puddings that I have had. Good enough to share especially after lunch or dinner. Hopefully they will expand to other locations, but this is a great reason to come back to town! read more
This place does banana pudding right! Several varieties available. Flavor combinations I wouldn't even think of. It was hard to decide. I ended up getting the caramel pecan...So delicious read more
