| - TCBY has been around much longer than any of the froyo places that are springing up on nearly every street corner. There was a TCBY not far from my parents' house in Denver--the TCBY I grew up with. Sadly, it went out of business many years ago.
I would always get this blizzard-like creation (think: Dairy Queen, but creamier), made with vanilla frozen yogurt and cookie dough bites. As of now, I'm much more of a plain froyo person, and I was excited to experience TCBY again.
High school kids do the work, but they did a great job. I sampled the NSA butter pecan, peanut butter and white chocolate frozen yogurt. The flavor profiles are a lot less aggressive than your typical froyo place, but are much creamier. I chose vanilla and purchased a pint for $4.49 sans toppings--cheaper than any froyo place in town in terms of price per ounce.
TCBY has a limited selection of toppings, but I did see some capsules filled with different supplements--something that I do not remember them to have when I was a little girl. There are about a dozen flavors of ice cream in addition to the waffle bowls and cones that I love. Smoothies are also on the menu.
When I got home to enjoy my treat, the froyo was not melted at all. It was rich, creamy and the flavor was not overpowering--the perfect complement to my own store-bought toppings--exactly as I remembered it to be.
