| - The fro-yo shop reviews continue. This is my first time being in a TCBY since I was a kid. I was impressed overall.
Here's what I had. I split my bowl between a pile of chocolate and brownie batter on one side and a decent dollop of the honey vanilla Greek yogurt, per DH's recommendation. I had a hankering for cherry/chocolate (must be the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday), so I topped my fro-yo with semi-sweet chocolate chips and maraschino cherries.
The toppings selection is good, and the service area was kept relatively clean. It's somewhat difficult to get a good sense of all they offer because the jars in which the toppings sit are dark. It's hard to scan the space and make a beeline for what you want. Plus, I want to see what the toppings look like so I can check easily for freshness.
The yogurt dispensers should come with a burly dude who will hold down the lever for you or something. I was pulling down so hard on the brownie batter one, and it took forever to get anything out.
Yogurt: Not a fan of the brownie batter (a lot of work for not a lot of reward!). It tasted synthetic and almost boozy. Boozy's usually a good thing, but not this time. The chocolate was fine.
The honey-vanilla Greek was the star. This stuff is wonderful! I hope they keep it around for a while. Subtle, fresh, slightly sweet, super creamy are all words that come to mind. I probably could eat it with nothing on it, but it would be fabulous with fruit.
TCBY did not have any tart yogurt options that I could see--at least no equivalent to Yoforia or Menchie's original tart variety.
The atmosphere of this TCBY is nice. It gets a lot of natural light and the colors inside are comfortable yet fun. Overall, I like this TCBY.
