| - deKEFIR... I can't even pronounce you properly, but I've been waiting patiently for the day to finally try and review you :)
Came this afternoon around 3PM to try their famous frozen kefir at last. Traffic was light and there were 2 tables left with outlets nearby (good study spot!). The location is kind of tucked away within the PATH, in the Bay Adelaide Center right in front of the escalators from the KPMG bldg after you descend. I've never had kefir before, but love frozen yogurt/ice cream/etc, so had amazing expectations. Important reminder: Take Lactaid if you are lactose intolerant because it will trigger a gut reaction otherwise!
I tried samples of both their frozen and fresh yogurts before deciding on the frozen version. The frozen version is more of a treat since it is sweetened with cane sugar. The fresh version tastes exactly like runny plain yogurt (= sour) since it is unsweetened, so if you do decide to get a healthier kefir parfait or smoothie, do ask for some honey as well if you can't stand non-sweetened yogurt.
The service was great! The girl at the counter was so helpful and patient with me as she educated me on kefir and showed me the store options. But I could give only 3 stars because tbh I was not at all impressed with the taste, presentation, or value of the options. There are 4 size options for the frozen kefir and I got the small, which was plenty for a snack. For an extra $1 you can choose 4 toppings instead of just 1, so I chose papaya, strawberries, dark chocolate, and puffed quinoa. Other popular options included candied walnuts and crackle bits, which are basically finely smashed cookie bits. I felt like they were too light on the toppings, which were arguably the best part since the yogurt itself tasted kind of... boring. I DO NOT recommend the quinoa. I think I was expecting regular cooked quinoa because I was so disappointed to find the bits hollow, crispy, and flavorless.
You can also order gut-healthy smoothies here, which is what my partner got (fresh kefir + honey + strawberries + mixed fruit + 1 small piece of beet + kale). It tasted like a regular juice that I could have made at home with a Magic Bullet.
Together we spent around $13, which is not bad, but I think next time I'd rather go to Grk Ygrt in Kensington Market for their way yummier (but less healthy) and equal value frozen yogurts.
