Not Bad!

This is a solid little place to get a cool treat. There is better on the island, but this hits the spot if you’re in the area and want something cool, fruity, and refreshing. (FYI must love bananas to eat here! 🍌)

Pros: Healthy, Fresh, Quick

Shave ice

Yummy shave ice, right next to the beach. I got it with the banana soft serve.

It’s awesome that their banana soft serve is vegan but I was a little disappointed that it seemed just like mashed up frozen banana, and didn’t have more of a soft serve flavor or texture.

Cons: employees not knowledgeable about what on their menu is vegan. They have waffles and didn’t know whether or not they were vegan.

Yum!

So fresh and ono delicious 🥰 right by the beach so a perfect way to cool down after a sunny day out.
Love how it’s sugar free and one ingredient as well as the different portion sizes.
I ordered the half and half acai and banana swirl and was happy I did so to get to taste both flavors ✌🏼
The fresh fruits are chefs kiss as well as the quinoa puffs were my fave topping😍 adds such a nice texture
Careful of the honey as that’s the only non vegan thing added!

Pros: So fresh , Quick and friendly service , Right by the beach

Cons: Took quite long to figure out the location , Added Honey drizzle

Great snack

Lots of good options and just the right amount of banana flavor. I went after dinner and got their large size and should have gone smaller. Large would be a good tie over until lunch.

Yummy!

Seemed vegan with the exception of honey (optional) and I'd double check the chocolate. Tasty on a hot day!

Not bad but all bowls have honey

Tried the original flavored bowl without honey. A couple of the other bowls had some honey butter which isn't vegan. It was a nice treat but probably wouldn't try again. Wish they'd substitute the honey out in their menu, such an easy switch.

Pros: Fresh, Close to the beach

Worth a visit

The ice cream is good and they are knowledgeable on veganism. Hold the honey and everything should be vegan. The only reason I am only giving three stars is the steep price.

Pros: Everything can be made vegan

Cons: Expensive

It’s good

This place is pretty good but it’s just touristy. That being said it is good ice cream and it’s super convenient.

Pros: Almost all Vegan

Cons: Honey

Banan

Nice little spot to get a refreshing and healthy snack on a hot day in Waikiki. Had the banana/acai cup and liked it a lot. The alley and stand are very Instagramy with surfboards stored against the walls.

Good stuff

I went here twice and while I personally didn’t like the original banana soft serve, I really enjoyed The Amazon flavor. It is essentially an acai base. I added peanut butter, granola and chocolate to mine and it was truly amazing. Here’s a great place to go for a after dinner snack or even for breakfast. The staff was also super friendly in helping me figure out the menu. Most of the menu was vegan except for the honey which you can ask to omit.

Pros: Almost all vegan , Great staff , Super yummy

vegan dessert that replaces ice cream

Having a nice frozen snack in Hawaii is exactly what Banan Waikiki offers. This frozen non dairy style ice cream is top with fresh fruit and honey. Not too sweet just the right amount sweet goodness to enjoy and not feel guilty. Great option when others are eating traditional ice cream you can come here and hv a beautiful treat and not feel left out

Cons: No where to sit and eat , Location is in the cut, almost walk pass it

Serves honey and not tasty.

I ordered the original and the amazon. Both ice creams were bland. The toppings were... 🤷🏻‍♀️meh. The coffee was okay but the coconut milk they added was coagulated and didn’t cream my coffee at all. For two bowls and the coffee it was nearly $40... not worth it.

Pros: Mostly healthy

Cons: Expensive , Not tasty, Uses honey

Fantastic banana ‘nice cream’

I found Banán online before we came to Honolulu and was so excited to try a papaya ‘boat!’ The soft serve is made from bananas and it’s delicious! All the fun toppings make it even more special. My husband and I definitely want to go back before the end of our trip.

Pros: Vegan banana soft serve, Fun toppings, Eco conscious restaurant

good

Had the açaí ice cream minus the honey and added chocolate. Super pricey but was happy to find something cool on a hot day. Workers weren’t the friendliest and didn’t seem that happy.

Cons: Watch for honey , Not a lot of chocolate options

Awesome dairy free ice cream!

Banana cone is a must try, banana soft serve on top of half banana. Eat quickly though because it is does melt quickly!

Pros: All vegan options, dairy free

Worth every penny

It's pricy, but it is to be expected being right by Waikiki beach. I got the Riss More without honey on a papaya boat, and it was delicious. I highly recommend splurging on this.

Pros: Everything is vegan if you take off the honey, Right by the beach

Cons: Pricy

Must go!

This place was a nice surprise to find. Delicious vegan swirls. Beware though because their creations have honey. You can just ask them not to put it. They are very accommodating

Pros: Accommodating , Many selections

Such a treat

This was a great find for banana and Açaí soft serve, with lots of toppings. The location was a little tricky to find at night. Look for the row of surfboards.

Nice to find some vegan, healthy dessert

Waikiki food is generally meat and dairy based so really nice to find this place. It is expensive but all food is expensive in Waikiki. Friendly staff

Pros: Healthy dessert, friendly staff

Cons: A bit pricey

Only Vegan Ice Cream in Waikiki

Compared to many other spots in the US, Waikiki is a vegan ice cream desert... so we were excited to stumble upon Banan. The ice cream is pricy - from $7 - and unsurprisingly very banana-y, but nice for something different.
