Excellent choice for evening ice cream. Owner was the only one working for a small off season crowd. He is very conscious and knowledgeable of his business and aimed to please. The sundae and cone we ordered were colossal! We couldn't figure the 3.2 rating. We went back and found the low ratings were ginen to the prior owner. Mark took over in 2024 and there is nothing but excellent reviews since. read more

The absolute essence of Wildwood. Mark (I believe he may be the owner) is just an incredible person. Great ice cream, huge selection, and a simple wonderful experience. read more

Tons of options and the owner is such a nice guy. Banana's is the type of small business that makes you feel really happy to support. The Sundae options are overwhelming as there are so many. I will be back to try each and every one of them! read more

Great experience! There was something for the whole family- vegan, gluten free, and a large variety of delicious flavors for everyone. The owner is so nice and really cares about his customers. Large servings, too! We will be back! read more

I first discovered Bananas on a trip to Wildwood in 2018 and there was a young worker outside and they were offering Banana ice cream both Cinnamon dough bits in it. It was homemade and simply delicious. We went every night after....they had Banana ice cream with Choc Chipa, another it was Banana with Strawberries.....simply amazing all home made. Just went back tonightnfor the first time in 8 years. Looks the same but the ice cream is not good. I love Banana Ice Cream but tonight was not like it was 8 years ago. It's safe to assume someone purchased it cheaped out on the ice cream. I was so disappointed and I absolutely loved this place. The charm is still there and the owner was there wIth some young girls working. As a fellow small business owner I respect that.....seemed like a really nice guy. He's actually one of the reasons I gave this place 3 stars. Very professional and courteous. The Ice Cream is average at best and Im being kind. Their Banana ice cream now is canary yellow, artificially flavored bad tasting ice cream. He needs to take it back to how it was in 2018....all the ice cream was homemade and it was simply delicious! Overall the ice cream portions are the same but the ice cream is not good! Take it back 8 years when it was all homemade. That's what made Bananas stand out. Now it stands out for all thr wrong reasons. Sorry but its the Truth! Make Bananas Great Again! read more

This place serves the OFFICIAL Philadelphia Water Ice - so delicious, so creamy. Just what you need after a day of fun in the sun! read more

Banana's Ice Cream Cafe - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

See all

Loved it here! Staff was super friendly. They have a huge selection (I wish they had floats). Everything was delicious. Only setback was it was sorta pricey. Loved that they had outdoor and indoor seating. read more

Lots of variety, but expensive. $7 for a single scoop cone. There is a sitting room to wait or eat your icecream. I loved that they had homemade icecream, but there were ice crystals formed in each flavor we got. read more

Banana's serves the BEST dairy free ice cream in the Wildwoods! I am lactose intolerant and tried the few other places nearby that serve dairy free ice cream. Theirs were blah, but Banana's was awesome! Not only were there three dairy free flavors to choose from at Banana's, but they also had chocolate!!! It was so delicious that it almost tasted like the real thing! My family can have dairy ice cream and they tell me that ice cream is great there too. Great service also. The people who work at Banana's are really nice and the building is so cute! I've been back daily while staying In Wildwood. The location is easy to get to, just a few seconds off of the boardwalk. I'll be back each time I vacation down here! read more

Very disappointed with the quality of ice cream as well as the customer service. As soon as you walk in they're asking for your order and for your name. The red velvet ice cream had ice crystals all over it and had no taste. The portions were tiny for the price and the hot fudge was nothing more than cheap syrup. There are so many better ice cream shops in the Wildwoods. We will not be returning. read more

So many ice cream shops. In the wildwoods. But banana's was very good. Don't forget to pick up the boardwalk bucks booklet. To get the coupon buy 2 get one free ice cream. I like it hear for many reasons. Many ice cream flavors to choose from. Hard serve and soft serve. I got small sundae... And glad I didn't get the bigger size. They give you plenty. I like how you can sit inside or outside. Can't wait to come back again when in wildwood... It's off the boardwalk can't miss it.. Looks like a huge house. read more

Decided to stop here because they had dairy free vanilla and chocolate. Ordered the two scoop option but May as well have ordered the tiny kid size because that's all I got for paying almost $10. And it wasn't good at all. Nobody seemed to be paying attention to what they were doing. The owner was more interested in singing Disney songs than making sure her workers were doing things correctly. Just a really weird and uncomfortable atmosphere. read more

Just average! Bananas ice cream got voted best ice cream. I wonder who is doing the voting! It must be people who have never been anywhere else! First of all it is a large store with seating. They have the bathroom pad locked with a sign that says bathroom is not for customer use! The store is cute. But the ice cream we had was like Mr. Softee. The flavors were all standard expect one that was Maine Blueberries. There are so many other great ice cream stores on the Jersey shore that I can't understand how they stay in business. Perhaps the location which is right off the boardwalk as people are leaving! Don't get me wrong. It was not bad but not great either!

Banana's Ice Cream Cafe - soft serve - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

Me and my family had started coming here about 2 years ago. They had nice service and great set up. They had nice flavors and they would change them all the time so that there were different options. Unfortunately, when we came this year, the set up was awful, and you could barely see what flavors they had. read more

Cute, welcoming place with no line whatsoever on Friday at 10pm. The girl showed us their homemade flavors vs another brands, but never mentioned the difference in price. Apparently it's $1 more for each scoop, and I couldn't find any signs other than the regular prices, so $4.99 becomes a shocking $6.99. My chocolate chocolate cookie was decent, with nice cookie bit ratio, but the Biscoff was pretty bland, and my boyfriends banana cream pie literally had no flavor. The whole case was pretty melty so we got bored eating our $7 milkshakes rather quickly. It's equally nice to see Wildwood so busy, and also so terrifying as no one on the boardwalk wore masks, and the employee who delivered our cups to the door's mask was under his nose. I hope constructive criticism is helpful because the place truly is adorable. read more

The "iced coffee" here is just hot coffee poured over melted ice. It was awful. No wonder the place is always empty.

The cookies and cream was delicious! Loved the atmosphere here with Disney music and toys for the kids to play with.

Went to Bananas for the 1st time. Let me just say the owner and staff were so sweet. When making homemade ice cream everyone's interpretation.of what a flavor should taste like is going to be different. That's what makes going to a homemade ice cream parlor so unique and I love that. The owner had me trying all different flavors because I was unsure what I wanted. He was so patient. I tried their PB&J and it wasn't what I am used to at my local homemade ice cream parlor. It's not that the flavor was bad it was really good but not what I was in the mood for so I got dark chocolate black raspberry. I had it in a hot fudge Sunday and it was delicious. I will say $10.50 for a hot fudge sundae is a little steep hence the 4 star rating. I really hope they make it because they seem like a really lovely family and they have such a cute place. Also loved the dog even though she was scared of me and wouldn't let me pet her, maybe next time. I wish you and your family Best of luck with your business! read more

As an avid icecream eater, I have never had a worse experience in my life. My 3 friends and I went to Bananas for icecream which took 15 minutes for 4 regular ice creams. The employees were miserable and all six of them stared at us aimlessly. My friend found a small strip of PLASTIC in her red velvet icecream. My icecream had an EYELASH. A human eyelash. I nearly lost my lunch at the sight of an EYELASH floating in the bottom of my icecream. I chose to eat dairy free so my stomach wouldn't hurt...but the EYELASH did the dairy's job. Everything was going so well until now. read more

Just okay place and flavor.. Right by the boardwalk. They didn't have chocolate chip flavor, which is what I usually get everywhere, so I had to go for the toasted coconut chocolate chip. It was good, better with hot fudge, which my husband got with his. read more

Banana's is a good spot to get ice cream at the beach. My mom and I thought it would be worth trying their homemade chocolate peanut butter ice cream, and while it was tasty, it wasn't amazing. I thought it could use more peanut butter incorporated throughout. The pretzel cone it was served in was great, though. In addition to some creative homemade ice cream flavors such as chocolate chip cannoli and bacon, they also serve chocolate covered frozen cheesecake, chocolate covered bacon, and a variety of fried desserts. The one woman we spoke to behind the counter was nice and helped answer our questions. read more

Banana's Ice Cream Cafe - Small chocolate peanut butter in a pretzel cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

We stopped in here on a mission for chocolate covered frozen bananas. Cute place with a large Victorian-like patio where you can sit and eat after you order inside. They only had one frozen banana left (understandably, since it was near 8:30pm when we walked in). We shared it and it was good :) We're not big ice cream people but if in the area craving ice cream, this place had a nice selection. Very clean. Oh, and they advertised on their front door CHOCOLATE COVERED BACON. I wouldn't try this but if that kind of interesting mix is up your alley, head on over! read more

Just off of the boardwalk is where you will find Banana's ice cream cafe. We stopped in late (about 10:30 PM) on a Tuesday and there was still a line. I was disappointed that many of the ice creams were down to the bottom and needed to be filled. They do have some ice creams that are homemade, but most are not. I sampled several of the homemade flavors, but decided to go with a non homemade flavor (cookie madness or something), It was okay, but not something I will rush back for. My wife had a sundae which I enjoyed eating most of. The girl made a very pretty presentation and the sundae was very well proportioned to the dish. They also have deep fried Vienna fingers, Cool Aid, coffee rolls etc if are into that sort of thing. All in all I think it is a nice place to stop f you are looking for something other than boardwalk ice cream. There are tables inside as well as several chairs on the porch that you can sit and enjoy your ice cream. read more

Cute shop, friendly servers, different flavors of everything. They even make fried kool aide lol read more

Banana's Ice Cream Cafe - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

A handful of my family members just went here, spending over $50 on ice cream. My brother is among our group. He's also a board certified vascular surgeon. I only mention this to illustrate his ability to maintain a steady hand. This scene plays out; He orders a three scoop cone. The clerk hands it to him. My brother goes to lick it, and the ice cream rolls off the cone and onto the floor, but not due to clumsiness on his part. Rather because the guy scooping the ice cream didn't apply an obvious gentle pressure to stack the scoops atop the cone. The scooper just lazily plopped them on top of each other and they slid right the frack off when licked. Then my brother asks for a new one. Disgruntled clerk points to a sign on the door about Banana's not being responsible for dropped ice cream. THEY CHARGE HIM FOR ANOTHER CONE! The nerve of these crooks. Also, mediocre ice cream. read more

Ice cream is ice cream. Right? Not necessarily so at Banana's. They offer unique flavor combinations. That's the key word. Combinations. Because let's be honest, you can only do so many things with chocolate and or vanilla ice cream. Banana's isn't great. But it isn't awful either. It is good; if not VERY good. Don't hesitate going here. In addition to the ice cream selections, they offer fried items (Kool-Aid, Twinkies, and bacon wrapped dill pickles). The staff is nice and most importantly, patient. read more

My family has come here for years! We always order banana cream pie milkshakes we love it! But yesterday we went in and was informed by an employee that they are under new management and no longer have homemade flavors or the banana milkshake or chocolate covered bananas. Just unsure how you can name a place bananas but the only banana item you have is a banana split.... Three months ago she responded to a review in which she stated that they didn't have homemade flavors YET. How long does yet take because the summers coming to an end. You obviously are losing service considering you have employees outside begging people to come in and your employee didn't sound phased at all that we were upset about this. I hope you can bring these things back they are the staple of bananas read more

Ice cream was average but we didnt try the fancy flavors. Waffle tasted like a pancake and the kids enjoyed the cones. I'd go back if it was near where I was staying and because the staff is super nice, but its not the best place. read more

Banana's Ice Cream Cafe - Waffle with vanilla ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

Pretty good ice cream that offers the classic favorites and ice cream flavored with a twist like chocolate covered bacon and thin mint swirl. Wife had scoop of coconut and then mint served in salted pretzel cone. I went with the traditional waffle cone with two scoops mint chocolate and thin mint swirl. A little pricier than expected. 2 scoops & 2 waffle cones one being special flavor: $15.10. Cash only!! The service was nice, helpful, and fast. They also didn't cheap out on size! Both are ice creams looked like more than 2 scoops. They also had a nice patio seating area with beach chairs and plenty of space to stretch out your legs. read more

This place have no quality in their ice cream. I went there and ask for two scoops and two topping. Not only did they not ask me if I wanted whipped cream they put chocolate syrup in it in which I hate. When a customer ask for something please do as they ask. read more

So happy to find (good) dairy-free options here. They had vanilla and cherry fudge. The cherry was awesome with chocolate sprinkles. Thanks to ice cream shops who accommodate vegans and dairy allergies! read more

We went to this shop after having passed it multiple times going to the beach, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. The ice cream was good, but more icy than creamy which isn't my style. They did have a good variety of flavors and if you enjoy banana flavors, then this definitely is the place for you! read more

I was there last night and the young lady I was just yelling at her employees. In front of a full line of people and I felt so bad for the workers. I was very disappointed in how she treated them. But the 3 workers got the ice cream out to me and everything was perfect. I really hope their boss gets that under control. read more

This is a cute ice cream shop right off the boardwalk. Its a great place to relax and sit on the porch to enjoy your ice cream after a crazy, fun time on the boardwalk. There is seating inside as well if it is too hot outside. They offer a great variety of ice cream flavors, as well as shakes, and a few other treats including fried oreos. My family always makes a stop here during our yearly Wildwood family trip. Everyone loves its, from young to old. read more

I am trying to give Bananas a one star but the system will not allow it. They keep forcing the minimum to be three stars. We stopped in for ice cream today and were excited by the variety of flavors they had available. Unfortunately the ice cream was not impressive. After trying four different flavors between the group of us, all of the flavors were icy (not creamy at all) and a bit gritty. The ice cream was being sold at premium prices for a very low quality product. Very disappointing! Money was also handled directly over the open ice cream cases. **side note-don't plan to come here if you are in a wheelchair or if you have a stroller or can't do steps. They don't have handicap accessibility. We will not be returning. read more

Bacon Ice Cream = heaven! This is always out first stop as soon as we get to the boardwalk.

Great spot! We really enjoyed our chipwich and chocolate dream and smores and raspberry granola and Nutella banana Icecream. We will be back tomorrow! read more

Banana's Ice Cream Cafe - Long live the sample king - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

If there is a chance your child will drop their ice cream....this is not the place to go! My seven year old accidentally dropped her ice cream on the floor and the OWNER would not replace it. APPARENTLY there is a small sign around the counter that states " we do not replace dropped ice cream". Seriously it was a 99 cent ice cream cone plus 80 cents jimmies. I will NEVER go here again and will tell everyone I know not to go there either. read more

The ice cream was subpar at best. However, one of the workers had the worst attitude ever. She was extremely rude and nasty to my friend and I. All we did was ask for 1 free sample after we had already purchased three cups of ice cream. Very disappointing experience. I don't recommend this place. read more

We visited Banana's ice cream for the first time today. First impressions: cute shop right down from the boardwalk and friendly service- as soon as we walked in the door we were welcomed. My son had a vanilla soft serve cone and My husband and I tried the chocolate covered bacon ice cream( because everything's better with bacon). Delicious, I highly suggest trying it with the waffle syrup. There is a sitting area with tables inside ( since it was raining we sat inside) and outside lots of seats on the porch. We will definitely be back to visit again soon. read more
