Cute shop! Friendly service! A great selection of ice cream and treats. Something for everyone.
Was by the beach this day and decided to go into Balboa. There are a few frozen banana places in Balboa but this place caught my eye because they also sold hippo cookies (I bought one is not pictured).
The chocolate bananas are great for a hot day. They have a lot of fun coatings you can do. We did the Oreo and the everything coating. The hippo cookie was also very good. Definitely would come again.

Best frozen bananas in Balboa! Service is excellent!
