Sometimes the fro-yo is good - meaning no carry-over flavors from other mix-ins, and service is also decent (but only half the time). Th only thing that gets me is that when I visit later in their store hour day, they are always closed 10-15min prior to their publicized hours!
I'd heard great things, and on a hot day went looking for a cool treat to try with a friend. The fruit flavors were sharp and intense, but very artificial. They are also often out of popular flavors, perhaps because the location makes it a great snack option for the college students downtown. With so many yogurt shops around to choose from, I don't see myself coming back.
I really wanted to like this place. But after the experience I had, I just don't think I'll go back. The service was excruciatingly slow. I wanted to order one of the mix-its...the Lychee Green tea...and they were out of lychee. Seriously??? How are you out of an ingredient of a flavor you are advertising?? I went with the flow and ordered the green tea with kiwi instead. So tell me this? How is that the yogurt that's supposed to be completely green end up with red pieces in the mix. The mixer obviously didn't clean the container well so whatever was left from the previous order got mixed in with mine. It didn't taste right and I couldn't finish my yogurt. I ended up tossing two-thirds of my yogurt which is too bad because I hate wasting food. The same thing happened to my husband's order. He ordered the coffee mix-it and it too had strawberry pieces mixed into it. Well, I do give them credit for re-doing his order.
This Yogen Fruz is great. They offer a student discount. I love how the yogurt is probiotic, so it's really healthy. Also, there are many fat-free options so that way you don't have to feel guilty about eating chocolate. My favorite topping is oreo, it's like the health freak's version of a McFlurry.
The place is amazing! I love it here. Delicious.. they have great service. My favorite is the Piña colada. I recommend it!
