I was told by some North County friends to try out Banana Dang! I'm not usually a big fan of banana-flavored things, but still wanted to give it a try on my way back to OC. There's plenty of parking here, and the coffee shop isn't too crowded, and it seems good for studying or working. The menu is pretty large, but I went for the banana latte. Everyone working that day was pretty friendly, which added to the experience! The latte tasted great, as the banana flavor didn't seem too artificial or overbearing. There was still a pretty strong coffee flavor which is something I'm always looking for. A great place, and I gotta try their cinnamon rolls next time. read more

Natural banana has to be my favorite flavor! So swing that this place makes coffee, smoothies, pastries with the natural banana flavor brings my heart so much joy. I hate the taste of artificial banana syrup and finally having the option to not have that in my drinks is so nice. My co-worker introduced me to this place and I could've sworn that I had a matcha latte with banana foam? I'm not so sure because I ended up going on my own and was told that they don't do banana foam. Which is pretty sad if that's the case :( maybe it should be considered :) (hence the -1 star) regardless I have tried most of the drinks on their menu and have fallen in love with the Golden Chai. I would say it's a pretty acquired taste and at first some getting used to. Another recommendation I have would be their banana loaf!! So worth it!! The banana chunks make this loaf stand out from any other place. read more

My daughter and I come here a few times a week to get smoothies And usually it's a good experience Well until today after my daughter Had bought her smoothie her baby needed a bottle so my daughter asked one of the ladies for a cup of water so she could make the bottle the baby needed The lady told her it will be $.50 cents extra after we had already used our credit card for the purchase for smoothies we had to use our card again for $.50 cents in order to get a cup of water . We spend maybe $80 a week between My family and I . Very disappointed . read more

Dang! They opened another Banana Dang! This inland version is closer and sits between a couple places I need to go from time to time. I have visted the original locations near Mission in Oceanside for years. It's great to have another in the neighborhood. I almost always get a mocha here, as they know what they are doing with craft coffee. I love thier hot cups too, they are not flimsy! My favorite of BD is the art and merch available. They have cozy fleece banana sweatshirts to custom art on the walls for sale. Go here, have the coffee - Dang it's good. Note to Self: Try a Banana Dang specialty coffee on your next visit. A kind of play on; no shoes, no shirt, no service...there was a Ryan Gosling pic that used to say something like; Wear a shirt, unless you are Ryan Gosling. Now, there is Bad Bunny... #Dang #BananaDang #Vista #CraftCoffee read more

Have always loved Banana Dang in Oside, so happy to find another location! Luckily when we went it wasn't crazy busy so we could actually find seating. Although the location is a bit smaller than the Oside one, it's still got plenty of room and charm. Really welcoming with kind baristas as well. My husband and I both ordered the banana latte. We love their banana syrup as it pairs perfectly with espresso. Just an easy and delicious mix as always expected! Their quality is amazing. Happy that we will continue to enjoy this location too! read more

Five stars for branding - I loved the fun vibes and banana everything, including cute mugs, shirts, hats, pencils, stickers, etc. The employees were helpful in suggesting drinks for our first visit. If you love banana-anything, this spot is a no brainer! They also have a lot of non-banana options (e.g. straight lattes, americanos, fruit smoothies, etc.) I wish you could get larger sizes, but as with a lot of niche coffee shops, they only have 1 size offering. The Dirty Nutty Dang was decadent and delish - banana chocolately peanut buttery smoothie with 2 shots of espresso. The ShakEned BaNana was also a hit - a smoothe banana flavored latte with oak milk. Definitely a fun place to try for your next coffee outing! read more

My previous review does not currently reflect Banana Dang today. They have since updated the lids since my original review and I've been long overdue to write this. BD is my favorite coffee shop in all of North County and deserve every bit of business and hype they have. Their amazing coffee and even more amazing staff at both locations are always welcoming and kind. They have curated a space where one can relax and hangout at the coffee shop. In fact I believe that's the best way to enjoy Banana Dang, hanging out inside with a loved one, on a nice morning with a cold shakened banana to start your day! read more

Not a huge fan of bananas but... This place is Dang good!! Had a Banana Latte and that was weeks ago and yet I still think about it daily when I have my coffee at home. I met up here with a friend but live in the Inland empire so if only I could visit regularly. Had banana bread that was delish too. Cute Latte art!! read more

I visited Banana Dang when my family came to the area for spring break! We wanted to try something local to the area since Arizona now has so many of the California coffee chains. I loved the interior of the coffee shop, it looked like a great place to study or catch up with friends. We came on a Thursday morning and it wasn't busy, there was one other person in the shop. I got the banana latte, iced, with almond milk - it was good! I wish it had just a bit more of that fun banana taste! read more

My husband and I like to go on morning motorcycl rides to new coffee shops every now and then. And I love a themed coffee shop! Banana dang is located in a shopping center so there is plenty of parking which is one thing I look for when riding to somewhere new. I got the nutty dang and my husband got a Vietnamese coffee. We also split the nutty banana toast. Everything was so good! I didn't realize the nutty dang was blended and I usually do not order blended drinks but I really enjoyed this. The bread they use for the toast is thick and it was toasted just right. They do have a bathroom. It was very clean and pretty roomy. This location does seem more like a take it to go place more than a sit down to work/study/journal place. Probably if they had a drive thru, I'd stop by again when not on the bike. read more

VEGAN REVIEW What a concept! Came here for breakfast with 2 gal pals. I got the avo toast & a chai with oat milk. The avo toast was HUGE & I definitely recommend trying it on the rosemary bread. The chai was a bit sweet for my liking. The others in my party got banana based drinks & LOVE them, will have to give one a try if I return. Lots of vegan pastries, including cinnamon rolls that looked incredible Cute merch. Friendly staff. Be patient-- this is not Starbucks level fast food & drink prep-- these folks are preparing your items with love!!! Not a ton of seating, I think lots of folks take things to go. read more

I drove 40 minutes just to come try this location. I had been in San Diego for 3 days and had tried various local coffee spots and I was so sad that none of them hit like my favorite spot. I ordered 2 dirty banana milks because I am greedy and I knew I would be sad when I woofed in the first one. It's been 6 months maybe more since the last time I had banana dang which is the longest I have ever gone since the first time trying it. This is truly my favorite coffee place. Please, come to NorCal! read more

Wow! I stopped in to try a banana latte. Wow! It is sooooooo good! This place ruined regular coffee for me! REAL banana flavor but not overpowering. PERFECT! The staff is AWESOME as well! So friendly and welcoming! I will ABSOLUTELY be back!! read more

The name is perfect for how you'll feel after taking a sip of their coffee. "Banana... DANG!" Typically when I visit SD I get Better Buzz, but I'm so glad I tried something new because this place is a hidden gem!! Everything is BANANAS. There is super cute banana themed decor and you really can't go wrong with any of their many banana drinks. I got the Dirty Banana Mylk and my partner got the Nutty Dang. The dirty banana mylk was a decadent blend of coconut milk, banana, and coffee. It was reminiscent of the coffee I would get in Hawaii. I also loved that it was vegan - they were really thinking of us lactose intolerant folks. The nutty dang is a MUST for peanut butter lovers. It had a thicker consistency so it was more like a shake, but overall a sweet and filling morning cup of joe. I took more pictures of the banana themed art than our drinks because it was just so fun to look at! Definitely come show this place to your friends, but I wouldn't say this is a great place for studying. It gets busy and it is a bit small inside. Lots of plaza parking! Pro tip: While you wait for your coffee, you should check out the reptile store next door! read more

Saw the banana sign and decided to stop in. If you're a banana lover this is the spot. I went with the purple dang smoothie. It was delicious! My 2 year old loved it as well. The merch was cool. Saw some banana bread on the counter that I had to restrain myself from buying but next time around I'll give it a try. Will def be back. Recommended. read more

Customer service Was good! We ordered a hot banana mocha and an iced shaken expresso banana. Both had a little too much taste of banana flavoring for me and not actual banana. Both were 6.5/10. The place is cute and I did find a cute banana pin for my niece. read more

Came here 4/5/25 around 10:45am. It was our first time being here, and it's a cute place. The place seemed to have about 8 people inside and the place isn't big. Eeverything was clean as well! I like that the menu isn't overwhelming and that there's a bit of personality in the establishment. The people seem cool as well. We ordered 2 avocado toasts, a dirty banana drink, and I forgot the other one but it had white chocolate. For me, since the Avocado toast seems to be all sourdough bread, it was just too sour for my liking. My bf liked it a lot though. Also, The Avocado toast was huge and I barely got through half. Drink was good and my bf looked his dirty banana one. I'm sure he would go back for all items, but I'd only go back to try the pastries and drinks. read more

Came here to get this local gem! I've been to the Oceanside location before but parking can be a bit of a pain. This shopping center has plenty of parking, so I was already pleased! Service was slow as there was only 2 employees running the establishment. I ordered a dirty banana milk and my daughter had the nutty dang smoothie. Unfortunately, she only enjoyed a small portion before dropping it all over the sidewalk. :( I enjoyed the dirty banana milk but I think I wish it was more of a slushy texture. I drank it way too fast. We were also lucky enough to score the last vegan concha. I wish they had more vegan pastries! Overall, I would be back. It's less crowded (for now) than their Oceanside location. It's a bit pricey so not an everyday coffee place for me but it was definitely enjoyable. read more

I ordered the Shakened Banana today. Fought the urge to chug it. It's so good. This is the third time ordering this drink recently. I consider the other drinks but end up ordering the same because I don't want to miss out on the Shakened Banana goodness. It's originally made with oat milk, something I wouldn't normally order. The way Banana Dang makes it has me thinking I should give oat milk more credit. (I didn't really like it in drinks from other coffee spots.) It seems to be a popular drink. There were a few orders ahead of mine ordering the same thing. The taste is consistent. The dining area has a few tables and chairs. Couch by the entrance. Banana Dang branded and banana themed items for sale. They accept Vista Bucks which is great too. If you use this as a payment method, type in the card details yourself. Cashier sets up the payment screen for you. read more

Did not know Banana Dang had a Vista location! The banana bread wasn't quite the same as the oceanside location but the drinks were still on point! This location had a great amount of space and seating options. Was able to come in the morning so it wasn't crowded or loud, quite enjoyable to just sit and sip on delicious banana coffee. The staff was very friendly and quick to make everyone's orders. Oh, they also offer Military discount, which most dont so that was a plus! read more

I love banana flavored drinks so I was super excited to try this place!

Dang Banana Dang! I sure do love you! If our visits are any indication - three visits in 24 hours, I'd say I have a favorite new coffee place in town when I visit Vista. I had the shakened banana (espresso, banana puree, honey over oat milk and ice), each visit, the Nutty Banana toast twice and the cinnamon toast once. Their bread may be the best I've ever tasted, and the peanut butter is outstanding to boot. Add some sliced bananas and honey to it...chef's kiss. I loved the shakened banana and hay straws!? Whaaaa? The store is so fun and welcoming, love the vibe. I may need to get a Banana Dang hat when I return. read more

My sister and I stopped by for a quick pick me up! I've been to a different location before, and I've been a fan of their coffee. I've tried their banana coffee, and it was good! It almost tasted like I was drinking a protein shake but better! This time I tried their matcha latte, and it was also good! Our orders came out fast! This location is small, but it is cute and cozy. They have a nice little couch area to sit and some tables. Definitely in my top list of good coffee spots in San Diego! I'm gonna try their food menu and other coffee specialties next time! read more

I love their Oceanside location so I thought I would give their new spot a try. I brought my son in and he got an iced matcha with oat milk that was heavenly and I got my espresso. I'm not a big matcha guy but this place is going to make me a convert. The espresso was wonderfully bright and fruity but slightly burnt on the finish. I usually adore this- today it was very good- but not as excellent as I've had at their other location. The vibe is exactly the same in both locations and I love how the whole family is behind the counter just hustling and making great food. read more

We read through the reviews and ordered the nutty dang smoothie based off all the great comments and the cashier telling us its their most popular smoothie - and let me tell you it did NOT disappoint. It has the perfect blend of banana and peanut butter and smoothie consistency is excellent. We also ordered the shaken banana which they said was their most popular coffee - the banana flavor was not as prominent as the smoothie but it was still overall pretty good! Both drinks came out quickly. read more

I have been wanting to try Banana Dang for quite some time and found out they have a location in Vista (Oceanside is the other location). My husband and I came here on Sunday morning and there was plenty of parking. We ordered the Blue Banana Mylk (minus the banana syrup) and Dirty Nutty Dang (2 shots of espresso for $2.50 to make it dirty) along with an avocado toast on sourdough bread. Both drink were delicious and filling. We split the toast since it was a large Texas toast size which was also filling. Each of the items were about $9. All were filling to get our morning going. read more

If you're both a potassium and caffeine enthusiast, boy have I got good news for you. Banana Dang is a coffee and smoothie shop with an affinity for everyone's favorite yellow fruit and the universe's favorite bean. I had the Dirty Nutty Dang; a banana, espresso, peanut butter and chocolate smoothie but I was feeling adventurous, and upped the ante a bit by doubling the espresso to 4 shots. Wakey wakey. Twas delicious. The place isn't huge but it's clean, orderly and the staff was very accommodating. 100% would go back. read more

Heard about this place a while back but finally had a chance to stop by. I wanted to support my peoples LOL the name of this place is also half of my family's surname sooo gotta support! We ordered a shakened banana and Dirty a nutty Dang, and also had to pick up a slice of their banana bread! I basically inhaled it. It was moist and not too sweet. My shakened banana drink was different but wasn't bad, I can taste the banana flavor and also the espresso flavor. I did like the nutty Dang smoothie more. Tastes like peanut butter and a plus cuz it's like a protein coffee. I like that they had merchandise and I bet my family would love them. Once they're in town I might take them here to buy all the "Dang" hats read more

This is my second time trying Banana Dang! Me and my husband were pretty stoked when we saw that they finally opened up a Vista location, so we decided to stop here before the gym. I ordered the Dirty Banana Mylk coffee & my husband got the Vanilla Dang smoothie. I have to say the service was really nice. He greeted us upon entrance and explained what the Dirty Banana Mylk was. I was set when he said it was pretty much a thinly blended smoothie version with banana, oat milk, coconut creamer, etc. w/ cinnamon & a dirty espresso shot in it. I looove oat milk in my coffee and this drink was my absolute favorite because I wanted a bit of an ice-blended coffee. Did I mention that this was vegan?! Super delicious. My husband's smoothie was good. I think it could use less ice because it was more icy in the beginning, but after we let it sit for a bit and allowed the ice to melt, it was incredibly flavorful and yummy. The ambiance inside was much bigger than the Oceanside location, with multiple seating areas and cute banana artwork along the walls. It was clean and they had a cute Vista scrapbook on one of the tables to write down your "Favorite Places in Vista". While we were waiting for our coffee, I wrote down some notes :) All around very cool coffee shop. read more
