| - Since moving to Tempe from Chandler a few months ago, I had to find myself a new frozen yogurt place. I had been craving some "fro yo" for a long time, but wasn't sure where to go. So I hopped on Yelp and searched around for a nearby frozen yogurt place. My search led me to Yogurtini. The reviews looked better than most and their website, which listed all their many toppings, won me over. It was 9:30 pm and I feared since it was a Sunday evening, surely they would be about to close, if not yet already. But, to my surprise, I discovered they're open until midnight every day of the week! This got me excited and I grabbed my boyfriend and I raced to get out the door (even though we had plenty of time to get there).
When we arrived at our destination, around 9:45 pm, there were two other people at the register paying for their yogurt. Then soon left and we had the whole place to ourselves. We walked over to the yogurt dispensers and looked at all our options (about 8 or so flavors). We took a few sample cups and tried a few. Now, I am very indecisive so I stood there for a good while trying to decide which one I wanted. All the while, my boyfriend and I were being stared at by the college girl at the register. It was a little awkward, I'll admit, but I tried to ignore the feeling.
Finally, we decided cake batter would be our victim. I went over and grabbed what was a HUGE yogurt bowl. (They only have one size and I assume it's so big so people will overindulge and fill their bowl over the top and end up being charged $15 at the end, but that's just my guess.) We decided to add some dulce de leche to the mix, which ended up being a great idea.
Next, we had about a million toppings to choose from. Okay, that was obviously an exaggeration, but there were plenty of toppings to choose from. From fruit, to candy, and even cereal. I felt rushed because I was still being stared at. There was another girl behind the counter too, but she was sitting down on a chair, doing something on her laptop. (I don't know if that's the norm here in Tempe, for workers to just do whatever they want, but I found it to be a bit strange to do it right there in front of customers.) Anyway, I finally told the cashier, "Sorry, this might be awhile." And she replied with a forced smile and said, "It's okay." Her first words to me! I hurried up and threw a few toppings on my yogurt (cheesecake bits, yogurt covered pretzels, a few thin mints, a peppermint patty, and a couple gummy worms- not that I enjoy gummy worms with cake batter, I just wanted to pick them off and eat them alone.) It ended up being $7 ($6.98), which wasn't bad considering my boyfriend and I were sharing it. After paying I couldn't wait to get out of there, I had been stared at so long I felt uncomfortable (so props to them, because it's hard to make me feel uncomfortable). I couldn't wait and immediately started eating the yogurt as soon as we got out the door. It was so good! Cake batter & dulce de leche were a great combo.
So, would I go back? Yes. The yogurt was delicious and I'm thrilled that they're open until midnight, since most of my cravings occur when every other place is already closed. So by default they will be my go-to yogurt place in the evening. I'm hoping next time they will have friendlier people behind the counter that don't make me feel so awkward.
