After multiple delays in Pinkberry getting to the strip (remember when they were supposed to open at the Forum Shops in 2007?), I finally got to check out what all the commotion was about. I had only heard about it from others.
There are some big differences between Pinkberry and their frozen yogurt competitors:
- They are really pushing the health factor and with the addition of their Greek yogurt line, it makes it seem OK to get a large portion even if you just stuffed your face at a buffet beforehand.
- Their original flavor was a lot less tart than Yogurtland or Red Mango and that was a big plus for me. It was smooooooth.
- I also liked some of their creative seasonal flavors like key lime and lychee. I heard they offer other choices like watermelon and pumpkin at different times of the year. The flavor department of Pinkberry sounds like a fun place to work.
- I dislike that the staff has to put the toppings on and puts a number limit based on the size you order. They charge more than others so we should have it the way we want it.
Consider me a fan overall though. I can't imagine I would drive to the strip just for this (especially since I would have to park at Aria and then walk over) but I would definitely be down when I am in the vicinity.
