| - Driving by to get groceries the other day I spied the words - "frozen yogurt" and "self serve". In my hood! Hells yes! So tonight I visited after having seen the "now open" banner thrown up.
Decor is sparce with some bright, vibrant orange walls and a few tables inside and a couple just outside. Two young girls stood behind the toppings counter who barely looked old enough to be working a register while an older woman (owner? mother?) stood aside watching over. I don't know why but this just left me feeling a little uncomfortable.
As for the yogurt, there are 8 dispensers on the wall. Flavors were pretty standard - plain tart, yellow cake batter, vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, etc. It would have been nice to see more tart flavors than just plain. Tonight, however, I opted for the pumpkin pie (yesssss) swirled with chocolate. Hm. BIG mistake. I don't know what chocolate mix they are using but it claims to have fat-burning properties. Maybe so, but it tastes like frozen Carnation Instant Breakfast or Ensure. It was chalky, nasty and overpowered everything. Not a drop of pumpkin flavor was to be had. Talk about heartbreaking. This girl loves her pumpkin, you see.
Now I will give them this... they just opened up and as such I will update this once they get things going a bit more. Opening just didn't wow me. I've had better elsewhere and will likely continue going to that elsewhere.
