Staunton's Split Banana Ice Cream Parlor

When it's hot outside the place to go in historic downtown Staunton is the Split Banana Ice Cream Parlor for tasty homemade gelato, sorbet, and ice cream. With SWAC Niece in town, the flavor of choice was a yummy mocha.

Inside the Split Banana is a retro style with black-and-white checked floors and funky green accents. Choice of seating includes tables, booths, or stools at the counter. View is looking out toward Beverley Street.


Stools at the counter were filled shortly after this photo was taken as two moms and five kids arrived after playing at Gyspy Hill Park. Each child parked on a stool and waited for their cups of ice cream to be delivered to them.

All products are homemade at the Split Banana.
