"Peel isn’t technically new—this banana-based soft serve concept was in pop-up mode before 2023. But this was the year Peel finally got their own shop, consistent hours, and a slightly expanded menu. That’s enough newness for us. Peel has not only added another excellent spot to Miami’s soft serve map, but they’ve added something entirely unique to our dessert scene too. There’s nowhere else making this kind of fruit-based soft serve, and certainly no one doing it as sustainably by using locally rescued fruit and giving away every banana peel to a farm for compost." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
