| - Yogurt Builderz caught our eye as we were headed in to see "Breakfast at Tiffany's" at Farrelli's Cinema Supper Club. It's just a few store fronts away. We stopped in afterward to see what it was all about. We were greeted by a very nice man, who answered our questions and explained the process.
It's self-serve, pay-by-the-ounce frozen yogurt and toppings. They have 50 flavors total with 10 rotating daily. There will always be two tart flavors and one non-dairy. The toppings were varied, from cereals to candies (including Boston Baked Beans!) and from fresh fruit to nuts. He also had cookies, including Mother's iced animal cookies, which he said have been a big hit, but sadly, Mother's went out of business on October 9, so he's only got a few bags of those left. Hubby got an Oreo Cookie and Peanut Butter swirl yogurt with a ton of toppings which he liked. I got a dollop of the non-dairy Pineapple, Very Strawberry, and Pecan Praline. I really liked the Pineapple's strong flavor. Bonus on the non-dairy- it's an intolerance I choose to ignore regularly. The Strawberry was just not "Very", but the Pecan was sweet and tasty. I would say my biggest complaint is that they were all a tad runny for my taste. Maybe I'm used to the firmness of Ice Tango. Maybe Yogurt Builderz has been open for 8 days and they are still working out the kinks in the machines. I also asked to try the plain Tart flavor and it was a little tart- definitely not Ice Tango tart. For some people, that's a good thing.
It's 39 cents an ounce, so mine came out to $2 and Hubby's was over $4. The toppings can really add some weight. The owner gave us a $3.00 gift card for their Grand Opening and said he hoped we would be back. I think we will, when we go see "Unforgiven" at Farrelli's in two weeks. We liked it well enough to give it another shot.
