| - L'amour, l'amour -- toujours l'amours! I love you Mojo! My account exec and I took a stroll down Mill Ave the other day to have our weekly meeting off site. It was the afternoon and the weather was nice and she suggested we hit up Mojo. I'd not been yet but I'd heard some stirrings about this place. I'm thinking, yogurt. Yeah. Thrills. Little did I know what was in-store for me!
First off, Mojo gets big points for decor/ambience. They took that nasty former Quiznos and turned it into a pleasure den of low-fat lusciousness. The whole place is so visually appealing that I just want to hang out there all day...incredible blend of bold reds and shimmering oranges -- from floor to ceiling the joint is spic-and-effig-span CLEAN. It literally sparkles and the staff was all over keeping the place wiped up and hyper-presentable. There are funky late 60's-early 70's light fixtures and form-molded chairs and shiny red diner-style booths throughout. The music (which is so freaking key to ambiance and I don't know why so many people miss this), is a killer mix of positive, chill alternative.
The whole place is set up like a giant oval. Really good deployment of human factors engineering/usability with the redesign of the space. You enter up front, bear to the left and grab your container of choice. Then you follow the back wall around and indulge in up to like 14 flavors of frozen yogurt. Fill your cup 'cuz it's only $0.39/ounce! I got the mint and the pistachio (which was absolute heaven in a cup!). They also have little "Ny-quil" sized cups for sampling. The green tea was gross - -avoid.
Next comes the best part -- two mini buffet bars of the most righteous yogurt condiments/compliments I've ever seen...fruit, nuts, jimmies..etc. and some innovative faves like Cap'n Crunch, Cocoa Pebbles and this interesting chocolate stuff called "flake". I keep wanting to call it "bark" or "root"...I dunno why.
Then you slide on over to the super helpful and incredibly upbeat & welcoming lady at the reg, who weighs your yogurt and you pay. At 39 cents an ounce this stuff is cheap. Then go enjoy your snacky-treats inside or outside on Mill. It's delicious. The entire experience is great and the staff is top-notch.
After tasting the pistachio the one day with my AE -- I craved it all the next day, so the other half and I drove back into Tempe after dinner the next nite for a replay. Unfortunately they'd swapped out the pistachio for "birthday cake", which made me slightly sad, but the mint still rocks my world. You can sit on the bench outside and watch the freaks fly their flags and the business travelers & stoo-dents walking by. Great people watching. Too much fun. Too delicious. Too perfect a cost for a great time. I say 100% phenomenal value and I'm so glad you're adding value to the Mill Ave street scene.
Yay for Mojo! Yay for Tempe! Yay for Yogurt! Yay for me!
