| - A little background, I'm mildly obsessed with mochi. Last fall I made some with a friend of mine. It was tasty and we gorged on it. I'm too lazy to make it again, but I buy it when I see it. Agave Blue doesn't have mochi. Yogurtland does. Point for Yogurtland.
Agave Blue was in slightly abandoned strip mall (lots of spaces for rent) which makes me nervous. Won't be making any late night stops here, that's for sure.
I went inside and was pleased that it was very clean. There were people sitting, quietly eating yogurt. This made me think the yogurt was so good that you just want to keep shoveling it in your mouth. I was wrong. Don't get me wrong, the yogurt is good, but they were probably thinking, "I can get the same quality from Ben & Jerry's, 2 pints for $5 on sale this week." Freals, you can, Agave Blue is mad expensive.
There was about 8 different flavors, including red velvet. It didn't taste like red velvet, it tasted like chocolate cake with red food coloring. Before y'all jump all over me, cranking your neck saying red velvet technically IS a chocolate cake with red food coloring, I know that, BUT it's a light chocolate taste, not slap your tongue chocolate. I got the red velvet and espresso flavored yogurt. Espresso didn't even taste like weak coffee flavored yogurt, it didn't taste like much actually. It was disappointing. My husband got orangesicle. He said it was good.
I went to the toppings bar and was absolutely revolted when I saw old chocolate chips. You know how chocolate gets when it's old and dry? It's discolored and crusty looking? Yeah, they had chocolate chips out that looked like that. What the fuh? This place just opened, and even if it had been open for 20 years there's no excuse for putting out nasty ass chocolate chips! I told the cashier and she looked like an underwhelmed teenager who had no idea there was such a thing as old chocolate. She sounded really surprised, looked at it, and said it looked ok. She did pull it and said she'd take it back to the back (which I saw her do before I left.)
I was mildly impressed that they had cotton candy toppings and marshmellow cream, but it didn't make up for the lack of mochi. One of the toppings containers (a 4 foot display where they could put another 10 toppings) was completely empty which left me feeling jipped. I wasn't impressed with the selection. Yogurtland totally has it over them (their coffee yogurt actually tastes like coffee and their green apple yogurt and AMAZING!)
I honestly don't get why this place has so many rave reviews. Have these people never been to a yogurt bar before? Are they enthused by the choice of spoon colors (pink, purple, lime green and electric blue in case you're wondering)? I don't see coming here again unless I have a coupon for it, don't want to drive to Yogurtland, or my husband wants to go here.
I'm giving it 2 stars because it was clean and the yogurt was alright. It's expensive, doesn't have many toppings, and the employees were less than knowledgeable (and helpful, I was basically ignored other than saying where the sample cups were.)
