Balboa Island’s Original Frozen Banana shop – Sugar ‘n Spice – is launching Contactless Delivery and Online Ordering this Friday! While their shop is closed, they are taking their catering truck, aka Dip ‘n Roll, out on the town to deliver orders safely in the Newport Beach and Corona del Mar areas. They are excited to be bringing a taste of the Island to you and have three “bunches” you can choose from for delivery. The tradition you have loved for 75 years is now coming to your doorstep.
Ordering options include:
- Bunch of Bananas: A dozen custom dipped Original Frozen Bananas – you can customize your dips, toppings and drizzles! $50
- Bunch of Bars: A dozen custom dipped Balboa Bars - you can customize your dips, toppings and drizzles! $50
- Balboa Bunch: Combo Pack! 6 custom dipped Original Frozen Bananas and 6 custom dipped Balboa Bars - you can customize your dips, toppings and drizzles! $50
- Each “bunch” will keep nicely in the freezer for a few weeks for you to enjoy!
Delivery Options:
Beginning Friday, May 8, delivery will be available in both Newport Beach and Corona del Mar only – however, as demand in other areas grows they will add on new areas. You can message them on Instagram @sugarnspicenb and tell them where you would like Sugar ‘n Spice to deliver to!
Delivery days are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday only. Orders need to be placed at least one day in advance, while orders can be made 7 days a week.
Simply place your orders via this link online: sugar-n-spice-balboaisland.square.site.
These sweet treats are great for BBQ’s in your backyard, as a cool treat for the kids after a school day at home, or for a shelter in place birthday celebration! Or let’s face it – it’s always a good time to enjoy a little Sugar ‘n Spice!

Basilic Restaurant Now Offering Takeout!
05.05.20
Basilic Restaurant on Balboa Island is now open for takeout, 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday evenings. Chef and restaurateur Bernard Althaus is serving his iconic French-Swiss favorites, with bottles of wine on sale for 15% off regular price. Pro tip: ask for a specific wine pairing recommendation to make the meal extraordinary special.
Some of our favorites? Chef’s daily soup creation is always amazing (and somehow miraculously vegetarian and dairy-free), the quintessentially Swiss raclette appetizer, as well as the whole grain mustard and rosemary crusted rack of lamb and shrimp risotto.
But from perfectly paired cheese and charcuterie plates and the blue crab salad to the daily catch, Zurich-style veal tenderloin, and Boeuf Bourguignon, the classic French-Swiss food means bringing fine dining home. Perfect for date nights, celebrations, and for when you simply need some of the best food Orange County has to offer.
The full takeout menu is available at basilicrestaurant.com/menus and can be called in to 949.673.0570 during open hours for pickup on Balboa Island at 217 Marine Avenue.
