| - Yes! A place finally doing froyo the right way in Toronto.
As I've mentioned before in my Juicy Babes review there needs to be a self-serve place that has CHOICE! I wanted a Yogurt Land or Yogurt World kind of place in Toronto. Well, last Saturday it finally arrived, and mere blocks from my house.
As with most new frozen yogurt places this one also has a bright, clean, and modern look. The colour they brand themselves with is orange, a fresh change from the many places that are choosing various shades of red and pink.
They have 10 choices of fat free delicious for you to choose from. Today's options were original, chocolate, peach, pineapple, mango, watermelon, raspberry, and more. The toppings are vast. There are 21 "dry" options which include various breakfast cereals, gummies, candy bars, and cookies. The fruit toppings come in 12 options. The fruits are pretty straight forward but the hidden gems are the little juice balls. They kind of look like tapioca balls but they are filled with fruit juice. A must try for sure!
The way this place works is you fill your cup with as much or little yogurt as you want, pile on the toppings, and then pay by weight. It's 45 cents per ounce, which compared to 33 cents per ounce of it's California brethren makes it a little pricey but not completely outrageous. For two moderately filled cups, it cost me $9.98 including tax.
There were three staff working tonight when I visited. All were friendly. One of the girls was out from behind the counter explaining how the process works to some customers who had never been to a froyo place like this before.
For only being open for a week I was surprised to find about six people ahead of me in line and the staff to be so well prepared and have their process down pat to get the customers through quickly. Great job all around!
I just wish this place had a patio. I know I'm going to be here often and I would love to be able to chill out on a warm summer's night.
P.S. This review is my 300th FTR. Whoop Whoop!!
