| - It was a late Friday night and we were cruising along Kensington Rd after a nice dinner at Korean BBQ House in China town. We had no plans but to enjoy the rest of what had already been a gorgeous day.
With tired arms and nothing but relaxin' in our minds, we turned left on to Kensington Rd and there it was on the south side of the street (across from Osteria), a new shop that screamed "OMG!" after reading the name on the sign that shouted, "We serve fast Frozen Yogurt!" - It was all in the name my friends... FROGURT. And the search for the closest parking spot began!
Ok, well I'm gonna make this shorter. I've got to finish cooking breakfast haha
Frogurt offers self-serve frozen yogurt. First, you grab their one-size fits all kinda cups and move along to the frozen yogurt dispensers a step away. They have like 8 different flavours; from classic chocolate, coconut, raspberry, red velvet, marshmellow and a couple more I couldn't remember... like oh yeah, vanilla!!! Then continue moving to your left for the huge spread of toppings! Captin Crunch is like the first thing I see, then gummy bears, sour candies, peanuts... I think there was probably 50 different toppings - more than any frozen yogurt shop I've seen in my life!
Frogurt's concept is not new, but it definitely was delicious. However, their twist on the self-serve frozen yogurt and toppings is the experience. They have a wall you can write on - and I sure as heck did! They have a photo booth that you can stand in front of and it will take your photo then automatically post it on their facebook wall where you can grab and share later! and I did that too! no shame :) all fun.
They've got lots of staff to help you make your own frozen yogurt creation? Well, luckily I had my wife with me and that's all the help I needed haha. But, just only been open for 3 weeks, I can understand their desire to make new customers feel welcomed and taken care of. I gotta tell you though, despite my jokes, Frogurt had their place filled with customers. Every 3 minutes a new group of people walked through those doors. Calgary, despite its long winters, surprisingly sells a lot of frozen treats very well. Heck, I'm a regular at all of them when its -10C out.
It was very fun and delicious! great job Frogurt!
