great coffee. great smoothies. awesome music. best coffee shop experience in all of southern california. it's for the alt girls/gays/theys

All I can say is dannnnnnnggggg. I'm more of a strong bold viet coffee kinda person but their coffee is just as good. I got the banana shaken latte. Very mild banana flavor added an extra touch to the coffee. I also got the banana toast with rosemary bread. Also very good. Service was fast. I also liked the unique decor and their bathroom sign that I took a picture of. read more

The banana latte here is absolutely to die for. We stumbled upon this gem while walking around Oceanside and fell in love. Super cute interior, incredibly friendly service, and amazing drinks. I wish I lived closer, but now I just have a great excuse to visit Oceanside more often! read more

Came back with my husband and had to update my review. I feel like Banana Dang has leveled up or something. Much better vibes and friendlier staff. Food and drinks are still good. I tried the Green Fire, which was really yummy. Also had a cappuccino. This has become one of my favorite spots when I'm in Oceanside. I just love the art, the chillness, the banana-theme, the community flavor. This time I saw they had some free stickers and a sheet with recommendations for other businesses to check out in Oceanside. Super cool. See you next time BD! read more

I love banana flavor stuff so I knew I had to try this place out. We went later in the day so it want that busy. We tried an Iced Chai, Blue Banana Mylk and Dirty Nutty Dang. All the drinks were delicious. The Blue Banana Mylk is cool and actually tastes great. Looks like there's lots of room inside to hang out or work. read more

First time here got recommended by a friend and wow it didn't disappoint. I ordered the banana latte and the Banana Fire avocado toast--both were amazing. I'll admit, the banana and avocado combo sounded a little strange at first, but one bite completely changed my mind. It was easily one of the most delicious and unique things I've ever tried--my taste buds were seriously blown away. The latte was solid too--smooth coffee with a subtle hint of banana flavor. I also noticed they offer smoothies, which I'd love to try next time, and their hay straws were such a cool concept! The seating area was comfortable, and I liked that they had board games like connect 4 available--it added a fun, relaxed vibe. The service was great as well; the cashier had such a friendly and positive energy. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Banana Dang in Oceanside is an absolute gem. Parking is street parking only, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a spot right in front of the shop, which already felt like a good omen. I ordered the banana latte with two extra pumps of banana (because if you're going to Banana Dang, you commit), along with the gluten-free concha--and wow. The concha was hands-down the softest, freshest gluten-free concha I've ever had, and it paired perfectly with the banana latte. Not dry, not crumbly, just pillowy and comforting in the best way. The shop itself is cozy and inviting, and the chairs were actually comfortable enough that I stayed and finished everything inside instead of rushing out. It's one of those places that quietly encourages you to slow down and enjoy what you ordered. I'm visiting from Maui, and as someone who genuinely loves banana, this spot made me very happy. Thoughtful flavors, cozy atmosphere, and a menu that clearly knows what it's doing. I'd absolutely come back and will be recommending this place to anyone who appreciates a well-done specialty latte and an exceptional gluten-free pastry. read more

Banana Dang Coffee - Outside of Banana Dang - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

Neat little banana themed cafe right outside the Pendelton South base area. Service is friendly and efficient. I got myself a peanut butter banana smoothie of sort. It wasn't too sweet and gave me just enough carbs to power through an incline heavy hike. Surprisingly, the cafe has no banana milk! Unbelievable! Street parking is available and Amex taken. Too bad it's not dog-friendly and everything tends to be on the sweeter side of things. read more

Tried the Banana Latte and Banana Date Smoothie. The Banana Date was definitely the standout! Great flavor and really nice texture. The Banana Latte was good too, but the banana flavor was pretty subtle. The space has very cool decor with plenty of seating, and parking was free street spots. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but overall a solid spot, especially for the smoothie. read more

This place was introduced to me by an old friend, and I'll be honest--I never fully got into it before since I'm not really a coffee drinker. That said, this visit completely changed my perspective and was absolutely worth it. I went with the dirty banana mylk, the purple dang, and the banana fire toast on rosemary, and every single item delivered. Flavorful, creative, and just different enough to stand out without trying too hard. From the moment you walk into Banana Dang Coffee, the staff sets the tone. Super welcoming, genuinely cool to talk to, and zero pressure--just relaxed, good vibes all around. There's something special about this place. Even though I didn't fall in love with it on past visits, this time it clicked. Safe to say it's officially on my radar now, and I'll definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu. read more

I love their Banana Iced Shaken Espresso! It's a different combination that I would never think to have, but the banana pairs perfectly with the espresso. The baristas are friendly here and prepare your drinks with much TLC. It has seating on the inside. There is art on the walls along with an area of merchandise that can be purchased. Tote bags, tee shirts etc. When I want something different from an ordinary latte, I come here. Also, you can order this drink half-sweet if that suits you. The only downside is that parking is sometimes difficult. However, with that being said, if you've never tried the banana- espresso combination, this is the place to do it! read more

This was by far the worst-tasting coffee I've ever had. I was excited to try it because it was advertised as a banana coffee, but it tasted absolutely nothing like banana or coffee. The flavor was bland, artificial, and difficult to finish. There was no noticeable banana taste, no rich coffee flavor, and no balance between the two. It ended up tasting more like watered-down sweet milk than an actual coffee drink. Unfortunately, I couldn't even finish it and would not order it again. Very disappointing, especially if you're expecting either a banana flavor or a good cup of coffee. read more

The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant -- Max de Pree I met a potential business colleague here who represents churches wanting to develop affordable housing. It was an introductory meeting, we will see if he has any sites worth considering. Seemed like a nice dude. This was a perfect place to meet because they have plenty of seats and they serve more than coffee. In fact the banana strawberry smoothie I had, while very expensive, was also one of the best smoothies I've ever ordered. Well done everyone! Glad he paid ;-) The ladies running the place were cool and hip as they should be ;-) And Oceanside has definitely improved as a downtown since the last time I was there. Highly recommended! read more

Happy Accident coming here! I've been wanting to try this place for awhile but it's pretty far from my house. We were running errands and parked near by, so we grabbed some coffees. I was slightly disappointed in the lack of welcome from staff. The wait was short and the coffee was good but maybe I built up the excitement to try it and the banana latte was just good, not the best I've tried. read more

Solid Banana Mocha Latte. The cashier was busy answering everyone's questions. I told her what I was craving and she said well actually we have something like that on the menu and I was so excited.

Wish I had known about this place years ago. This is exactly what I'm all about the nutty banana on sourdough. Remind me of being 10 years old again the vanilla dang is a phenomenal dessert order. You can justify it as your breakfast.:) read more

Such a cute concept about incorporating banana in almost everything on the menu. I will say...the wait can get pretty long and the people there are super chill. Thus, they are working a normal pace not super rushed which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The shaken banana and one of the banana smoothies made dirty was amazing and coffee and banana needs to go together way more often. Must try!!! read more

This is such a cute spot. I meet up with a friend when we had the kiddos and liked how kid friendly they were. They offer coffees, smoothies and really unique style toast options. The decor is also really cute and theme based. The staff is very welcoming, and kind. I had left my favorite water bottle there, and came back a few days later and they still had it. That completely impressed me as most of the time folks would've throw it out. Overall, definitely check this place out if in the area. read more

I would 100% recommend this place!! In truth, I am a huge fan of banana, however this shop is worth coming to even if you don't like banana! The shop is unique and homey in itself is come for what the shop stand for as well through everything that is displayed on the handouts they have in shop! They care about their roots as well as sustainability! Would highly recommend this business! The latte was perfect. Not too sweet and had the perfect banana flavor! I wish I was closer to this shop so I could come more often! Fun place to be with great food and great vibes! read more

I loved the concept of this place- it combines two things I love, Bananas and Coffee Shops! The shop was busy when I came and the cashier/barista was super sweet and kind- one of friendliest I've met! I tried their popular, Shakened Banana and had some sips of the Blue Banana Mylk. The Shakened Banana has coffee in it and it pairs well with the Banana flavor. Overall, it was a good drink to walk around town with. Their Blue Banana Mylk was super delicious! It has no caffeine/coffee; just oat milk blended with bananas, blue spirulina, and probably some other ingredients. It was a thick consistency, but so good!! I love the originality and character of this place. I'm so glad I visited the "World's First Banana-Inspired Specialty Coffee House!" Keep it up! read more

Unique Fun menu items for smoothie, coffee, & food choices when you want something healthy. Love the toast items to choose from as well as the many smoothie choices that I usually custom choose and the staff is really friendly when asking about menu items. I've tried all the toast items and love the banana for sweet or the avocado one when I want something salty. The smoothie was flavorful & healthy packed with proteins. There is some sitting space at bar to get the nice street view or some tables and chairs. read more

Banana Dang Coffee - Shaken banana - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

A local favorite for many -- my first time here and honestly, would come back! I'm not a huge banana fan because I feel like it overpowers any other flavor; HOWEVER, the Shaken Banana (shaken espresso with brown sugar banana and oat milk) is something I'll be craving on the regular. Amazing balance of coffee and banana. Small shop inside but it was super busy on a weekend which is always a good sign. Cute vibe inside and service was quick! read more

Banana Dang Coffee - Shaken Banana - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

Omg why did I just now try this what is wrong with ME!!!! One of a kind perfect surf town vibe coffee shop. Lovedddd everything about this place. This hasss to be local community coffee shop, you could feel the warmth of the Oceanside community in this shop. I loved the amount of detail and care they put into this shop like the hand drawn menu cards and the local food guide. It really showed that they're not just a standalone cafe, but an active hub for the community. The drinks themselves were really yummy. The banana latte was a really good coffee with subtle banana flavors seeping through each sip. This was really good to me bc it didn't taste like super artificial banana syrup, tasted like real bananas. The Thai tea was also pretty authentic and very sweet, so if you typically like a more subtle Thai tea def try to adjust sugar! Parking: street parking only, luckily there were a few spots open when I went on a Sunday morning read more

Maybe its the item i tried but i didnt love this place. Ive heard a lot about them from instagram so i was very eager to try their coffee. I love banana flavor and took the recommendation of the girl taking my order in terms of a coffee thats strong in banana flavor. My latte was sort of sour. I was aware they used fresh banana puree but the texture of this drink was slimy and not pleasant and the flavor tasted like fresh unripe banana. Not sure if i would come back but perhaps their other items might be better. read more

Get your potassium in with a tasty Banana treat from Banana Dang! I admit to have discovered them on social media and decided to come up on Sunday. Street parking wasn't a problem but can be if it's the morning time. I went for a mid day pick me up coffee and ordered their Shaken Banana (which comes with oat milk by default btw) and shared a PB, Honey, and Banana Toast with my friend! It was the perfect snack, and I enjoyed my Shakened Banana drink. I don't like the overpowering banana in smoothies and I tasted this a lot in my friend's Banana Mylk. Just an FYI -- if you're expecting a more creamier taste, I'd go for the lattes. They had funny decor and merch all over the cafe. Their menus had a personal touch to it along with brochures of what to do and where to visit when in Oceanside. I'd say it's a pretty cool cafe to stop by if I was visiting! I would love to see a banana bread incorporated drink or a coffee with a banana cream top! Overall, I would rate my visit to Banana Dang a 4/5. read more

Walking down the street in Oceanside looking for a coffee shop. Banana Dang! We walk in and the friendly server smiles when we contemplate whether a Banana Latte is going to be delicious or gross. We decided to be brave and had a banana Latte and I think a chocolate banana latte. Both drinks were really good, they serve regular coffees and iced versions. It felt like a welcoming place to hang out. They had a free guide to Oceanside which was helpful because it was our burst visit to Oceanside but not the last. read more
