Brickell is home base for our hot pink, fully electric Swirls truck.

It’s an outdoor spot, so grab a seat at one of our tables and enjoy the evening.

The Swirls truck in Brickell serves a curated lineup of Banana Daddy favorites, while our Midtown flagship carries the full menu.

Sundaes: Gimme S’more, Twisted Pleasure, The Bad Bunny, and Forbidden Fruit
Baked goods: Banana Bread, Ooey Gooey Cake, Chunky Monkey Cookie, and Blackout Brownie
Coffee: Banana Cold Brew, Coconut Iced Coffee, Brown Sugar Latte, and Cold Brew
Matcha: Banana Cloud, Coconut & Ube, Salted Maple, and Matcha Latte

Craving something you don’t see here? Midtown has you covered with the whole lineup.

Street parking is available around the truck if you’re feeling lucky. For a sure thing, park in the garage above Publix at Mary Brickell Village; Publix validates for visitors, and it’s a short walk to your swirl.

Banana Daddy is open most holidays. Holiday hours are always posted first on our website, Google Maps, and Instagram @eatbananadaddy, so check there before you roll through.

In the Shop

Yes, little Daddies are welcome at Banana Daddy. Our flagship Midtown Miami shop has high chairs, room for strollers, and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for the whole crew. Our Brickell location has plenty of room for strollers and outdoor patio seating.

Yes. Our Midtown Miami shop has a restroom with a changing table (it’s the “Daddy” bathroom, naturally), so little ones are covered too. Our Brickell spot is a food truck, so there’s no restroom on board, but public restrooms are a short walk away.

Yes. Our Midtown patio sits on a tree-lined street with umbrellas over the tables, so you can linger outside without melting faster than your sundae. Brickell has outdoor tables and chairs for guests as well.

Pups are welcome at Banana Daddy, inside and out! Bring your four-legged friend along and ask for a pup cup at any of our locations. At Midtown, we also keep fresh-baked doggie treats on hand. BBE is for everyone, tails included.

Soft Serve 101

Banana Daddy serves dairy-free soft serve made from bananas and house-made coconut milk, so it isn’t technically ice cream, which requires dairy. It isn’t sorbet, because it’s creamy rather than icy, and it isn’t frozen yogurt, because there’s no dairy. We churn it through a real soft serve machine so you get that classic swirl. Call it whatever you want. Just call it delicious.

Banana Daddy soft serve starts with a banana base, and we build our flavors and seasonal specials on top. Big Banana is our full-on banana option. In Dark Chocolate, Coconut, Apple Cinnamon, and Vanilla Protein, banana plays a supporting role that adds natural sweetness without overwhelming the main flavor. Not a fan of banana at all? Order our Not Banana soft serve base, which has no bananas!

Banana Daddy soft serve is lighter than dairy soft serve because our base has no milk, no cream, and no added sugar. Real fruit brings natural water, so the texture can shift a little with the Miami heat or right after a fresh batch hits the machine. If your swirl isn’t hitting the spot, tell our team, and we’ll make it right.

Yes. Banana Daddy’s Not Banana soft serve is made without bananas, so it’s perfect for anyone with a banana allergy or who simply isn’t a fan. Like every Banana Daddy soft serve, it’s completely dairy-free. It rotates seasonally, and right now it’s a vanilla coconut yogurt base.

Banana Daddy soft serve cups come in three sizes: 4 oz small, 8 oz medium, and 12 oz large. See the current menu at eatbananadaddy.com/menu.

Yes! Our small 4 oz cup is the perfect size for little Daddies (and for grown-ups who just want a taste).

Banana Daddy sundaes come in two sizes: an 8 oz medium cup and a 12 oz large cup. Prices for every sundae are on our menu at eatbananadaddy.com/menu.

Yes, you can pick the base on any Banana Daddy signature sundae, and our team is happy to suggest a pairing in store. For our popular Gimme S’more sundae, most guests choose between Dark Chocolate or Big Banana.

Yes. Between our soft serve machines, many of Banana Daddy’s bases can be swirled together or put side by side in one cup. Ask our team what we’re swirling today.

Yes! At Banana Daddy, you can sample every flavor if you want. Just ask our team at the counter. We want you to find your favorite new flavor.

Yes, Banana Daddy has waffle cones, and yes, they’re gluten-free. We make them fresh every day in our dedicated gluten-free kitchen in Midtown Miami.

Menu: Sundaes, Shakes, Coffee, Matcha, Bakery & Savory

First time at Banana Daddy? Start with a signature sundae. Gimme S’more is one of our most talked-about orders, and Twisted Pleasure and Daddy’s Classic are top sellers with our scratch-made sundae toppings. Want it warm and à la mode? Try a Warm Me Up! dessert topped with soft serve. Can’t decide? Ask our team; they are here to help.

Banana Shakes are our version of a milkshake, blended with Banana Daddy soft serve: Your Chocolate Lover (dark chocolate soft serve, brownies, fudge, chocolate chips), Talk Pudding To Me (banana soft serve, salted caramel, banana pudding), and Cream Dream (coconut soft serve, coconut cream and milk, pineapple, lime).

Yes! The Warm Me Up! menu is Banana Daddy’s à la mode menu: pick a warm pastry and pair it with your choice of soft serve. Choose from the Blackout Brownie, Apple Cinnamon Roll, or Ooey Gooey Cake. Hot meets cold. You’re welcome.

Yes. Banana Daddy is not just for dessert. Our Midtown Miami bakery bakes rotating savory pastries, including our popular pizza hot pocket, alongside a full menu of nourishing smoothies. They make a great quick lunch before dessert, or right after. We don’t judge.

We don’t serve açaí, but we do have smoothies.

Our smoothies hit the spot: Hunky Monkey (peanut butter, chocolate, banana), Green Flag (spinach, pineapple, mango, green apple), Berry Ripped (blueberry, blackberry, strawberry), and Burning Passion (passionfruit, mango, dragonfruit, blue spirulina).

Yes. Banana Daddy doubles as a Midtown Miami coffee shop, pouring specialty iced coffees and iced matcha. No soft serve required, though we won’t stop you.

Banana Daddy pours coffee from Imperial Moto, a Miami coffee company that locally roasts its own beans.

Not right now. Banana Daddy doesn’t currently offer decaf.

Banana Daddy serves ceremonial-grade matcha from our partner Alma Matcha, always first harvest and made from Yabukita, Saemidori, and Yutaka Midori cultivars. Fan favorites include the Banana Cloud Matcha and Coconut & Ube Matcha, plus seasonal specials that rotate throughout the year.

We don’t pour traditional tea in the shop, but we do serve iced matcha, which is tea’s cooler cousin. Choose from our signature matcha drinks or a classic matcha latte. Hosting an event? Iced tea is available by the pitcher through our catering menu with advance ordering.

Banana Daddy offers almond, oat, pistachio, coconut, and whole milk at Midtown, and almond, oat, and whole milk at Brickell, for coffee and matcha, with no upcharge for any milk.

Sweeten your Banana Daddy drink with one of our house-made syrups, like vanilla, caramel, banana, strawberry, fig, ube, or brown sugar. Our syrups change seasonally, so ask what’s pouring.

Top your Banana Daddy coffee or matcha with one of our house-made whips. Our banana whip is our top seller, our coconut whip is dairy-free, and our other whip flavors change seasonally. Check our online menu to see the current whip topping options.

Yes, we’re happy to accommodate. Just ask for light ice. Heads up: we top off your drink with extra milk or water to fill the cup, which changes the ratios our team designed for that drink, so we don’t usually recommend it. But hey, your drink, your call.

Banana Daddy drinks come in a 16 oz medium and a 20 oz large. Check eatbananadaddy.com/menu for the drink menu.

Yes! Our soft serve base already has no added sugar, and we offer no-sugar-added topping options to match. Toppings vary by location, so ask our team and they’ll walk you through what’s available that day.

Yes. Banana Daddy’s pastries are baked from scratch every day in our dedicated gluten-free kitchen in Midtown Miami. We use a mix of gluten-free flours that depends on the pastry, mostly potato-based with some rice-based. Check our allergy grid at allergy.eatbananadaddy.com to see exact ingredients for each menu item. Looking for a gluten-free bakery in Miami? You found it.

Nutrition, Sugar, Protein & Caffeine

That’s your call, and we’ll give you the facts. Compared with traditional ice cream, Banana Daddy’s soft serve base is dairy-free, gluten-free, and has no added sugar. It’s crafted from bananas and coconut with nothing artificial added. On the toppings side, we have vegan options available, so ask our team in-store.

Not really. Banana Daddy soft serve is made from bananas and coconut with no added sugar, but bananas carry natural sugar and carbs, so it isn’t keto or low-carb. Think of it as your perfect cheat-day treat, and always check with your doctor about your specific diet.

Pint flavors rotate with the season, so the freshest list is always on our online ordering site at order.eatbananadaddy.com, along with current prices. Grab them for pickup or local delivery and keep the Big Banana Energy going at home.

Banana Daddy pints last up to a year in your freezer. Because they’re banana-based and freeze with very little air, they set up harder than regular ice cream. Let your pint sit out for 15 to 30 minutes before scooping, depending on how cold your freezer runs. Patience is a virtue. So is dessert.
