Banana Bread offers a subtle banana flavor with warm cinnamon and nutmeg. In coffee it's not overpowering, just delicious and comforting. Think slow weekend morning, second cup, no rush.
It's built primarily for coffee drinks, where the spices have room to bloom and the banana stays soft in the background. But the same backbone that makes it work in a latte makes it surprisingly fun in a cocktail — bourbon and dark rum both pick it up nicely.
Tasting Notes: Ripe banana, warm cinnamon, toasted nutmeg, gentle molasses
The Short Version: A subtle banana flavor with warm baking spice — made for lattes, cold brew, and the occasional dessert cocktail.
Ingredients: Filtered water, organic cane sugar, organic molasses, cinnamon, nutmeg, natural flavor.
Perfect For: Latte lovers, cold brew regulars, weekend baristas, and anyone who always orders the banana bread at the coffee shop.
Best Enjoyed In: Stir a 1/2 oz into a hot or iced latte, or into cold brew with a splash of cream. For something stronger, try dessert cocktails based on dark rum or bourbon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does the syrup last after opening? A: Our syrups are shelf-stable for 24 months unopened. Once opened, refrigerate and enjoy within 6 months.
Q: How strong is the banana flavor? A: It's subtle and bakery-leaning — think banana bread, not banana candy. The cinnamon, nutmeg, and molasses keep the banana soft and grounded, so it never reads artificial.
Q: Can I use Banana Bread syrup in hot coffee or milk? A: Yes — it's built for it. Stir 1/2 oz into a latte, cappuccino, or a strong cup of drip coffee. The spices bloom as it warms and the banana plays nicely with the natural nuttiness of the beans.
100% approved by me. I loovvee banana bread and this tastes just like a slab of homemade banana bread. I will repurchase for sure. Plus the bottles and labels are soo freaking pretty they don’t look terrible sitting on your counter when they are new.
I used the new Banana Bread syrup in my coffee and it is delicious! Highly recommend this flavor.
I’ve been on the hunt for a good banana syrup and this is it! Not too sweet and taste like banana not candy. Great product, will definitely purchase again.
Brought this to work to share with teammates since we have a great coffee bar. I used it in my cappuccino and it was divine. Teammates loved it too and wanted to know the source so they could stock it at home.
My wife wasn’t thrilled with this. She thinks it tastes artificial……
The only problem I have is that it's too banana foreward to me. I need more of the spices.
MY FAVORITE SYRUP EVER!
At first I didn't like this one (have only been having in espresso drinks) but it really grew on me by my second/third latte. It literally smells exactly like banana bread
These syrups are so far beyond any I’ve ever gotten in the grocery store. The banana bread specifically is my favorite so far. Perfect for a latte with a pastry.
Doesn’t taste or smells like bbl
Great flavor. Love the homemade taste.
Tasted like cough syrup with cinnamon. Very sad, was excited for this.
Ugh I wanted to love this. The banana flavor is too artificial for me and sadly I bought 2 bottles. there’s no way I can give one to the person I intended knowing it tastes like this.
Delicious, cozy, makes a mean mocha. I bought this as a pre-pumpkin fall flavor and it tastes just like banana bread. It worked in cold brew, homemade mochas, my husband tried it as a cocktail syrup with cardamom bitters and bourbon and said it was still missing something. My next application will be into chai!
Tastes very medicinal. I gave both bottles away
Delicious syrup - love adding it to my afternoon latte
It didn’t taste like banana bread to me. It was a strong flavor with nowhere near tasting like banana. It tasted kind of like medicine. Not sure how to describe it, but it was not it.
I wanted to really like these but the banana was a fake flavor and left an odd after taste.
I can’t believe how much this tastes like banana bread! And I appreciate the cleaner ingredients than some other syrups.
A big hit
Just like banana beead!! In love
A bit artificial of a banana taste but not a bad latte. Wouldn’t buy again but not upset about trying it.
Still have not received it.
Amazing flavor! Doesn’t take much so the bottle will go along way!
I happened to see the Banana Bread Syrup talked about in a group of coffee lovers. I had to heck it out myself and I’m so glad I did! It’s smooth, deep, without overwhelming the drink. It was yum and I want one of everything, lol! Seriously though, this is an amazing company with such a cool and delicious product. Thanks so much, Portland Syrups! -From, Kentucky.
I received my banana bread syrup today and I had to try it. I love it, my iced coffee tastes so good. Thank you Portland Syrups.
I was very skeptical at first. Banana bread syrup for your coffee? But it’s incredible! Have it every morning in my cortado.
This is delicious!
Unfortunately this fell short of expectations. It mostly smells like artificial banana and tastes very little like anything warm and inviting as banana bread should.
Fantastic purchase!! The depth of flavor which it brings to my morning coffee is really good!
The most delicious latte!
