"Don't worry, Mama, things won't get weird" - Dr. Evil
This April Fools, I let things get a little weird when I saw @originalbananacompany post they had a @fishtownpickles chocolate dipped pickle. I saw it, and I was down to get goofy with it. I got mine drizzled with peanut butter, but you can get pretty much anything they offer on top. The flavors were a rollercoaster ride in my mouth. The chocolate, the peanut butter all delicious, then you get to the pickle, and you just throw your arms up and embrace the experience. It's definitely a novelty offering that I am glad I tried for science and fun.
My 4 year old loves bananas, and having it dipped in chocolate with sprinkles was a no-brainer delicious treat for him. The Ferrero Rocher exceeded expectations. All the textures from the banana to the crunchy rice krispies and the warm Nutella just made for a wonderful experience.
The real show stoppers for me are the chocolate dipped cheesecakes and the the UFO's. Cannoli's are probably one of my favorite types of dessert, and that cannoli cheesecake I got may go down as one of my all-time favorites.
The 100 Grand UFO needs to become a staple menu item. The ice cream is fantastic, and the banana bread crusts for these are the perfect compliment. I don't even personally really like bananas or many things banana flavored, but I genuinely loved everything I tried! I don't know why it took me so long to get here.
Keep an eye on seasonal offerings because every month they are going to be dropping some limited timed creative in season jersey produce themed desserts. Get excited and check this spot out!!!

I love going to eat at this beautiful place. The service is very special, the people are very nice and make you feel comfortable. Their delicious desserts are the best, I've tried a little bit of everything and none of them have disappointed me.

I invite you to go and have a good time there.

My husband surprised me with a visit to The Original Banana Company, and wow, he knows the way to my heart! I mean, frozen bananas dipped in chocolate with endless toppings? How can you go wrong? Spoiler alert: you can’t. I’m officially obsessed. The staff (maybe even the owners!) were awesome to chat with and helped me pick out which banana to try because I couldn’t decide between like six amazing options. Plus, they even had drinks from a small town in Pennsylvania, which made us laugh since they were shocked we actually knew where that town was! If you haven’t been yet, go ASAP. This place is banana-rific!

Amazing service, food, and atmosphere! The staff were generously kind, friendly, and polite. Our food was made quickly and super delicious! I recommend the pistachio and orange dream flavors. They have cheesecake, banana, or pineapple for the base that they layer with your flavor of choice

This place is such a cool experience. There's nothing like it near by. Even if you don't like banana's they have other options! The UFOs are amazing! It's 2 slices of banana bread with ice cream in between. The owners are extremely pleasant, and clearly want to make your experience the best it can be.
Give them a try!
