    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!

    The peanut topping was better than the Oreo cookie topping, but I would recommend going for half-half toppings so you can have a mixture.

    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! 😃

    Much better than the stand next door. At the stand next door, all of my toppings fell off my banana and onto the floor.
