Absolutely Obsessed with Purple Banana! Purple Banana has quickly become my go-to spot for a healthy, delicious treat. From the moment you walk in, the place gives off a bright, beachy, feel-good vibe that perfectly matches the fresh, vibrant bowls they serve. The açaí bowls are next level—smooth, flavorful, and topped with the freshest fruit, granola, and drizzles that take it over the top (I highly recommend the peanut butter drizzle!). Every bite is refreshing and satisfying without feeling heavy. Their smoothies are just as impressive—perfectly blended, not overly sweet, and packed with real ingredients. You can tell they care about quality in everything they do. The staff is friendly, fast, and always happy to offer recommendations or customize your order. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Purple Banana is a must-try. You’ll walk out feeling good, inside and out. 10/10. Can’t wait to come back! 💜🍌🍓🥥
LOVE your smoothie bowls! 🩷 My old lady tendencies wish it didn't feel like a nightclub.. the music is too loud, and too much rap. 🎶 But, I'm sure the students dig it.. 🤷♀️ Later hours would also be awesome so I could get to you after work! But, overall, we love your smoothies and are grateful to have a healthy, delicious, and local option!
Excellent smoothie bowls. Perfect amount of crunch to the base. Parking is rough on weekdays, make sure you do not put quarters in meters but at the paystation. Service was very good.
Delicious juice/smoothie, bowl, and salad spot! Love to see places like this popping up around Syracuse. Really enjoyed the vibe as well as my smoothie, The Surge! I will definitely make a point to stop anytime I am downtown looking for a healthy meal 😎 …
First experience here. New to trying smoothies as a meal replacement. OMG, the best service. I ordered the Lava smoothie and the Mirage salad. Excellent choices. I'll definitely be back this week for lunch. 👍🏾👍🏾
My go-to spot for delicious and healthy smoothies. The variety of options, including the ability to create your own, makes this place stand out. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, helping me navigate through the menu. The quality of their ingredients, the friendly service, and the delightful atmosphere make it deserving of a five-star rating.
I ordered on Too Good To Go for a Tuesday evening pickup. I had just had surgery the night before so I was a little absent-minded and forgot to pick up my order. I left a message to see if I could maybe pick something up with no expectations in place, but the manager called me back today and made sure that I got something. This was my first time trying anything from Purple Banana and between the food and the customer service, I will be back! The food I picked up was delicious and tasted fresh - the perfect post-surgery pick me up with great customer service from everyone involved. Thank you for making my day!!

Staff are amazing and friendly! It’s always nice to know that a healthy option for a snack or lunch is always available! Location is great and local to SU and hospital! As a parent…. Sometimes overnight stays at the hospital are unexpected… and it’s nice to know we have access to a healthy option! Thanks Purple Banana!
I came here with a friend for a quick lunch and got an acai bowl with a smoothie. Overall my food was refreshing and staff were friendly. It wasn't busy when we got there but seemed to be filling up before we left. Staff had our to go order ready within 5 minutes despite a 15 minute wait time being indicated. 5 stars from me!
