BEST BLOODY MARY I’ve had in my life. I was not planning on having a drink so early in the day but here I was. Ordering the drink that would alter my brain chemistry. The gentleman with the facial piercings made mine, and he seems to be popular on the reviews here. The staff was friendly with every customer, and honestly just seemed chill af. This place uses all fresh ingredients and they didn’t skip out on a SINGLE ingredient for a proper Bloody Mary. They blend and make the drinks in front of you which is the best seat in the house. Don’t second guess stopping here, you won’t regret it. I’d come back to New Orleans to visit this place specifically

Must get a Bloody Mary from here. Get the works Spicy. Great frozen drinks on a hot day. Get a topper of rum for that Pinia Colada. Updated 2/10/24: Another collection of delicious drinks from the Organic Banana. Had the Flaming Monkey, Almond Freeze, Tropical Rum Daiquiri and the Mango Rum Punch. They are generous on portion sizes and alcohol content. Must stop here.
The best pina colada I’ve ever had! Fast service with a smile. We also tried the bayou lemonade which was very good. A great place to get drinks while walking through the French Market area. Can’t wait to drink as many of the frozen delicious drinks as I can next time I go!
Had two fantastic mango daiquiris from this place. Great location to get a drink while wandering around the French Market or exploring the French Quarter. They have both alcoholic and non-alcoholic smoothies.
Hands down the best Bloody Mary in town! On my recent trip to NOLA I’ve tried several bloody marys at several different places but have to say the best ones are at the Organic Banana in the French Mkt. They make it with love with the right amount of ingredients and the best part is they are only 10. Definitely one of my highlights for the trip and look forward to coming back for these!!! Yumm!!
