One of my favorite treats to get when I'm in the Newport area.

Probably one of the most iconic spots at Balboa Island, saw a lot photos posted at this place.
We choose classic frozen banana with dark chocolate dipping, and almond as toppings, turns out, this is a very healthy while delicious dessert 🤤

Yum! I’ve never had a frozen banana before like this and am so glad we stopped by for dessert! The arrested development reference is hilarious. The banana itself is a bit pricey, but great to split between two people. We got the dark chocolate with hot fudge brownie and Reese’s crumbles. I have sensitive teeth so had to wait a little bit to let the banana defrost before comfortably biting into the more frozen parts, but overall it was delicious. It IS messy, so beware! Most of the toppings did fall off too while we were eating it.

The cashier lady was very rude, and of course she asked me if I wanted to tip, considering they don’t take cash. The balboa bars tasted icy and generic in quality. if you want a good quality and tasty product, go to Dad’s next door.
Edit: unsure as to why the business is looking at nearby business’s reviews. It is very much creepy and stalking. Do not go here.

I mean, it’s one banana. What could it cost, $10 ?

I was excited to finally try a frozen banana from Sugar n Spice. The banana was a bit expensive at $8 but I thought it was enjoyable and more filling than what I expected. Although I probably wouldn’t get this frequently, it was an enjoyable experience and I am glad I tried it.

When I went in May 2021, it cost $4.95 and I think the chocolate coating was a little thicker! ! lol When I come back in November 2024, it's $6.50 and the chocolate is a bit weak, which makes me a little sad. The coated almonds are crispy and delicious. Be careful not to damage your gums. lol The right amount of sweetness is the best🍌😋

I really enjoyed this spot during my recent trip to California. I ordered the balboa bar (ice cream dipped in chocolate) and had it covered in peanuts. I also got peanut butter and jelly as a topping. This was an excellent combo.
One thing I did notice on two separate occasions was they charged a slightly higher price than what was listed on their menu. I am not sure if the prices went up and they just didn’t update the menu or what.
Overall it was a delicious treat and I would definitely recommend stopping here.

Had to stop at the banana stand on our visit to the island. The frozen cheesecake was huge and tasty. Definitely enough to split.
