1 Banana Queen - Store front. - Health Markets Near Me - Bronx, New York

Me & my boyfriend loved the açaí bowls & we devoured them lol nothing was left ! 5 stars , amazing service & the freshest fruit !

I always come before or after the nail salon for empanadas. However, I saw the sign outside for frozen yogurt and decided to stop in. I am glad I did, the Fro-yo was really good. I got mine on a waffle cone, and it tasted fresh. I hate stale cones. I wished they had other flavors to try, because they were only serving cookies & cream. Hopefully, they rotate the flavors out and I can try another flavor at a later date. Check it out if you're in the area. read more

1 Banana Queen - Froyo with the kiddo - Health Markets Near Me - Bronx, New York

I have been coming here for years and it always meets my expectations! Friendly, delicious and reasonably priced.

This weeks prize for the lack of common sense goes to the employee of this establishment! I ordered a smoothie of banana and strawberries, she asks what else and I say sugar. She then adds cinnamon and vanilla. I ask her what that is and she adds another shot. I understand she couldn't hear me because the blender was turned on. None the less, she proceeds as she had done anything wrong and even tries to blame me for her mistake. My friend walks in, and in an effort to not give this employee a hard time, decides he will take this one. Which by the way, she decides to make it a large without asking! Question, you make large smoothies with 1/2 a banana and 5 strawberries? I had to ask for more while she was making a large smother... Yikes! After handing me this watery drink, she leaves to go attend to another customer whom walks in. Ummm hello.... We have not completed our transactions. I ask for another smoothie and she was going to mix it in the left over of the previous drink that has the vanilla and cinnamon extra shots. When I ask her why, she says it's the same exact drink. Ummm ma'am, please be kinder and exercise empathy. When I explained to her, she gives me an intense glare ( i suppose to intimidate me), once again unapologetic. I am not sure if the owner is aware of these shenanigans... The smoothies are delicious, and engaging with the owner is a pleasure. I will not retuned when the inattentive staff is present. $12.00 for a small and large smoothing each with approximately 6 strawberries and a whole banana? read more

This place is a hidden gem, absolutely amazing. I love smoothies but this place has to be added to your bucket list of OH MY GOODNESS places to stop at when in the Bronx, I mean me personally I add it to my favorite places when in NYC. It doesn't matter if you're just looking for something to catch those flavors your taste buds are missing. If you're on the go and want something with so much flavor it just keeps your mouth watering for more. This place is awesome if you're fast paced and constantly on the go, grab a smoothie that will keep your body fueled with energy, and if you're anything like me I love a smoothie that can fill me up like a meal on the go. Having a meal replacement to help me stay in the best shape of my life while having these amazing smoothies is one of the best choices I've ever made. I must say come by enjoy a smoothie, grab a fresh pastry you won't be let down. The pastries are so good you'll eat one and want to take one to go so make sure you add to your bucket list of must go places, great for a grab on the go and even amazing for the fit hard working meal replacement option. So come on yelpers tell me your opinion. read more

This place serves some delicious smoothies!!! Stopped by after a long day and the person at the counter was super chill and helpful with recommendation. The smoothie tasted fresh, had so much flavor and was very filling. The fruit behind the counter looked like it was freshly cut and they use very generous amounts when making your smoothie. They had some pastries to try out as well which I highly recommend you buy while your there. I will def be going back next time I'm in the area. read more

First of all, the owner is chill and really cool. He never fails to provide amazing smoothies that hit the spot! The fruits are fresh and clean. Granola, all the ingredients for a green smoothie, whey protein, you name it. Plus, I can never resist from buying his patelitos. The selection of patelitos is bigger than most: cheese, chicken, beef, shrimp, and something else (I don't remember). The price is great for the quality of what's served. They also serve frozen yogurt now, but I haven't tried it yet (note that I said yet). This is my go-to spot and I've never been disappointed with their service for the past 3 years I've been coming here. $3 for a small, $4 for a medium, and $5 for a large. Keep in mind that a small is pretty filling! $1 for the usual patelitos and they're pretty big too. You won't regret coming here! read more

Yeaaaa don't go to this place. The stuff is no longer fresh, super frozen and they are very skimpy when you ask for greens. Smoothies are meant to be a healthy alternative to a drink. If someone wants greens just charge them for the greens. He guy was super rude and said " I thought so" when I said I no thank you to his one piece of kale. He was also really rude to the people in front of me saying " you want it or not" when the lady asked why it was an extra dollar. This is why businesses in these neighborhoods struggle. Because they have no sense of good service. read more

Been in here a few times and the service is quick..the guy behind the counter greets you with a smile and a few jokes here and there. Smoothies are on point and the fruits have been fresh every time I walked in.. Hopefully they expand into a bigger location but for now they are A++++++++ in the books A.k.A Kukla read more

Really amazing smoothies! This is my number one spot for a smoothie run. They have pastelitos that are really good as well if you are looking for something to eat. The prices in this place in my opinion are really low compared to other smoothie places I've been to! I work nearby and I was really glad I was told about this place. read more

Worst banana smoothie I've ever had the misfortune of tasting. I though I would have been able to deal with it, but honestly one sip of that horrible concoction was enough. They don't use milk or ice, just one can of condensed milk and one can of evaporated milk. Not half but one whole can of each. Just imagine the calories in one shake. Their empanadas are stale and don't have much filling. Honestly don't waste your time. Really wish they had a jamba juice around this neighborhood. read more

This Store is amazing and the smoothies were so refreshing. The patelitos were so succulent. The owner was very respectful and funny. I'd recommend this store to anyone who wants a great on the go food. read more

The only reason I gave this smoothie shop a 2 is because it's the only smoothie shop in my neighborhood. The fruit is far from fresh. One day I ordered a fruit salad and the fruit was abnormally small and had a disqusting chemical after taste. The sad part is that this shop used to be a hit. About 4 years ago the service was outstanding, the smoothies and other menu items were delicious, and they were able to make your smoothies just the way you requested. I was told that they are now under new management....fail!!!! read more

Banana Queen has the greatest smoothies I've ever tasted in my life. I love healthy refreshing smoothie drinks from fresh fruits, especially since I go to the boxing gym on a daily basis. Banana Queen delivers it all. I've known my colleague, Foti Blanis for years and he and the Blanis family have perfected the smoothie business. I drive all the way from New Jersey just for their smoothies and their Chicken and Cheese Pastelitos. Great Place to grab a quick bite and a refreshing smoothie. Check them out if you ever want a Real smoothie because they know the deal. Honestly, I like these guys better than Jamba Juice and anyone whose been there will tell you the same. read more

Love this place ive been coming here for about 10 years the only place in the neighborhood to get something healthy . great smoothies and the chicken patelito is amazing .. read more

Got a mango mixed with strawberries smoothie..I know is a weird combo but I liked it!

Fruits are fresh. Owners are two brothers they're both so chill and cool. I've been coming here for 10 years I grew up in that shop. Tell the owner "give me a good fresh healthy smoothie" they'll never disappoint. On my way over there right now ironically. ;) read more

I have been going to this spot for almost 2 years (about 3-4 times a week). The owner, a young and friendly guy named Anthony, has been instrumental in me staying healthy. The fruit is always fresh (which is hard to do consistently), the smoothies are always well prepared and very tasty, and the service is is always friendly and professional. I work in the area, and usually walk with a group of my fellow staff members to grab THE ONLY HEALTHY FOOD OPTION in the neighborhood -- and now they have fro-yo!!!!! So, if you are looking for a great, cheap healthier option to your normal sandwich or arroz con pollo, look no further...Banana Queen is your answer! read more

Ive Been Coming Here For Years & Ive Noticed Over The Last Few Years Its Just Going Downhill. Today Was The Worst Of Them All The Smoothie Taste Like He Accidentally Dropped The Whole Bag Of Sugar In The Blender With Ice. He Was More Concerned With Conversing With His Friend Who Wasn't Even Buying Anything. He Made No Real Attempt To Rectify The Situation, I Tossed The Sugary Drink In A Trash Can Right Outside The Establishment. I Guess Location Makes A Difference Cause Obviously He's Use To Servicing People He Feels Have No Voice Or He Just Doesn't Care Period. read more

My favorite place to get smoothies and pastelitos in the morning the smoothies are always good even when you ask for a mix

This location is very well built and the woman behind the bar is very comedic and loving. The smoothies are even better than the personalities. I'd recommend this smoothie place to anyone who wants to eat and have a good laugh read more

Quanisha b you are so correct about the tall spanish guy that says he is the manager of that store. I pride myself on being one of the nicest n most patient ppl to exist. I bought a 2 dollar Pataleo that was supposed to be filled with shrimp n I bit it n one...One shrimp was on the inside. I tried to show it to him n he was very reluctant to look. I tried explaining my situation n he simply turned n looked away n ignored me. I left n came back n asked for management. To my surprise he claimed to be it. I tried to explain the error in his disposition n the fact that he did not offer money back nor another food sample or even a mare sorry. He did not care n was very rude. He simply doesn't deserve to run a business n treat people with such disrespect. He could never get my business again. I'd actually give him negative stars if they were available. read more

i love this place. natural fruit juices that are healthy..in a block full of fried chicken and french fries. This place is a blissing. Good service, good people, good juice. I always keep coming back and it gets better and better. :) read more

if i could give this company zero stars i would. the owner of this store is a tall hispanic guy, i'm not sure of his name because he wouldn't provide it. i'm sure he was aware that i would report his company. let me start off by saying his customer service skills are not up there and he is very unprofessional. i came into the shop and asked for a small smoothie which is $3 and i also wanted a chesse pateleo which is $1. i asked him was the pateleos fresh and he stared at me and sarcastically said no they were sitting there for a month, then told me i come there everyday and i know that the pataeleos are $1. i told him i know the price and that i was asking about the freshness of the food because previous i purchased a pateleo and it was a bit stale (not fresh). he then got offended and told me to have a nice day and didn't bother to sell me the smoothie and pateleo. i will no longer be going to this place of business because of poor customer service. this is exactly why i don't like going to places of minorities because of cases such as this one. read more
