I had the classic and it was amazing! It reminds me of my grandmother banana pudding!

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

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! read more

Sweet Nina's - OMG perfect treat on the plane home - Desserts Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

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! read more

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! read more

I've heard so many good things about the banana pudding here. The line was long so I waited and tried the classic & nutty butter, which both tasted the same. A bunch of cookies and whipped cream. Below average quality & $24.00 for both. I didn't finish the nutter butter way to many cookies and cream. Everything ain't for everybody Its a no for me! read more

Amazing classic banana pudding! The flavor was perfect, super fresh, and the right amount. Highly recommend the classic pudding!

Simply delicious! Big proportions & wonderful friendly staff/ owner! Ill be back soon!

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! read more

I was in reading terminal market the other day and got a banana pudding. At $8 a cup it seemed a little pricy at first but you'd pay that or more if ordering a dessert in a restaurant. The person behind the counter (maybe Nina?) was really friendly and offered me a big paper bag to carry my stuff in. That was really thoughtful of her. Now- the banana pudding review. OMG! This was the best banana pudding I've had. The perfect ratio of cookie/custard/banana and the custard was really flavorful. Not just whipped cream or puffin but you could tell love and care went into this recipe. I 1,000% will be back to try the other flavors and get a classic banana pudding for good measure. Don't miss this place in the market! read more

Absolutely delicious! I got the classic and my husband got the peach and BAM! They were light, fluffy and hit beautifully going down! I'm glad we took them home because if I would have ate it on the spot I would have had to have ordered a few more! 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

I'm not a big fan of banana puddings and only really cared for them after trying magnolia's in New York. I thought magnolia had THE best banana pudding, but I stand corrected. This was, hands down, the best banana pudding and I hated the fact that I had to share it with my husband. We loved it so much that we even tried to see if we can order some to be shipped to California, where we're from. 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

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

Jesus made this place special because all of His angels touch every banana pudding that comes from this place!!!! I purchased the peace and strawberry banana puddings. The banana pudding was so good that I purchased the strawberry, ate it at the counter, and then purchased the peach, only to eat it later on that day. This is the cleanest pudding that I have ever eaten. No preservatives, everything was fresh and made on sight. The service was friendly and incredible. If I would have stayed there any longer, I would have spend every dime I had and wouldn't have been mad! The stand is quaint and it is owned by the most gifted black women I have ever met. I would walk from Richmond to Philly for this banana pudding. I don't know if they ship, but I will return in November! Brace for my return because I am getting everything! If you are looking for a Banana pudding that will make you slap yo' mama, go to Sweet Nina! read more

I was never a big fan of pudding or banana-based desserts, but Sweet Nina's changed my mind. Their chocolate banana pudding was excellent--made with high-quality ingredients, including rich chocolate that was clearly a step above the typical store-bought kind. The banana pudding was refreshing and flavorful without being overly sweet, and the vanilla wafers were light and added just the right amount of texture. On top of that, the customer service was warm and welcoming. This was easily one of the best desserts I've had in a long time and a strong reminder of the diverse food options missing in Phoenix. It's the kind of treat that makes me wish I had a place like this right in my backyard. read more

I love Sweet Nina and all her banana puddings.... and I'm a banana pudding snob. I make a great one and I compare everyone's to mine. Whenever I'm in Philly, I head straight there. Nina's is my second favorite banana pudding since I'm the queen. Service is always with a smile. I love the original however every flavored one also. I love Nina. She as sweet as the dessert. You can purchase half sizes and the portions are generous. I love the southern comfort I get in the busy Reading Market. Continued success! read more
