Super fun atmosphere. Loved all the merch they had. Wish they had hand soaps, but they've only got the bar soaps. I also wish they had pictures to accompany their menu. I suppose it doesn't matter too much. Bananas can be quite overpowering, so maybe many drinks are very much just banana 🤔 I'm not sure how I felt about my Blue Mylk, but the whole experience was fun overall. I'd like to come again and see if my theory holds any substance or there is a good variety of drinks to try.

Banana Dang Coffee pleasantly represents a neighborhood coffee shop. This small shop offers a unique flavor of coffee, which energizes the taste buds. This cozy shops was busy during my visit. I appreciated Banana' sense of humor, especially the Ryan Gosling reference of wearing shirts. When you find yourself in Oceanside, please make a moment to enjoy time at Banana Dang Coffee.

If you’re looking for a unique space to grab a smoothie, latte, a quick bite and do some remote work, Banana Dang Coffee is a small family-owned café in downtown Oceanside that is a local favorite; especially with the younger crowd. Located just along the Coast Hwy, this spot is famous for their awesome selection of “Happy Toast” menu options and their smoothies (all made with bananas & almond milk). The interior is very simplistic and has a few counter-seats, table seats and lounge chairs in the rear. They showcase a small diverse collection of painted artwork (for sale) and the ambiance is pretty modern-hipster (alt pop & rock music playing). They have a clean bathroom and also free WiFi for customers and although the seating isn’t super-cozy, but it works for a quick sit to relax. One con is that they have a limited amount of power outlet access points. The customers service is average, but not dissatisfactory (younger staff who are always chatting amongst themselves). They are friendly, but not super-attentive; just average. Where this place shines is their TOAST BAR MENU that is super tasty! It’s simple, but there’s something for everyone to love! I recommend the Crunchy Honey, Nutty Banana and Choco Toast. Their smoothie menu is super as well! Boasting great options such as : Nutty Dang, Green Tea Dang and the Vanilla Dang. Overall, this gem is a place that you’ll want to visit just for their unique specialty menu and for a less-crowded option to doing remote work.
