Always an amazing treat, whether it's fresh doughnuts, ice cream, Balboa bars, chocolate dipped bananas or frozen cheesecake on a stick rolled in toppings...Go there today, you'll LOVE it!Upvote3Downvote
Crystal WarnerJanuary 7, 2014The peanut topping was better than the Oreo cookie topping, but I would recommend going for half-half toppings so you can have a mixture.Upvote3Downvote
If you've yet to partake in the Balboa Bar or Frozen Banana Bars, this is the place to do it. It's only the real thing if its from Dad's. Tell them Johnny B sent you! Enjoy! 😃UpvoteDownvote- Bayleigh BrandtApril 24, 2015Must have a rainbow sprinkle frozen banana but can't forget about the amazing hippo cookies!! I grew up on those!

At the stand next door, all of my toppings fell off my banana and onto the floor.UpvoteDownvote- Cierra CumminsMarch 20, 2013Give the butter brickle with rainbow sprinkles balboa bar a try!
