| - As a frozen yogurt aficionado, I am compelled to review Yoforia. On the whole, the ubiquity of frozen yogurt establishments in the Queen City is astounding. In the hierarchy of quality, however, Yoforia lands just ahead of TCBY.
I have been there no less than 15 times and the yogurt is typically either icy or runny, never with the smooth consistency characteristic of higher quality yogurt. The toppings, although not as gross as TCBY, are plentiful but usually too large to be mixed in properly. There is, however, a large variety of toppings from cereal to fruit to sprinkles.
I don't personally enjoy Yoforia (I'm a Tasty-Yo and Pinkberry fan), but I took my friend's 5-year-old daughter here once and she LOVED being able to choose her own toppings and mix yogurt flavors.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention the service. I understand that it is self-serve, but it's really difficult to get an employee to come out of the back and offer a sample cup or even say hello when I've come in at off-hours. Really disappointing, compared to other yogurt places, where the staff is exceptional and engaged. I appreciate that extra human contact.
Once they remodeled and put in more bathrooms so fire code allowed for the outdoor seating, that became a plus.
All in all, if it's variety and mediocrity you're after, Yoforia is your place. It makes 5-year-olds deliriously happy. But then again, so do Dora and Diego.
