| - Gave it a few tries, but now we know better.
I thought these places all but went extinct after the second coming of TCBY a few years back. But alas, there is one in our new neighborhood. All "frozen yogurt" places are cash-grab ripoff at heart, but this one is more disappointing than most.
First off, the machines have been dirty the few times we've been there. The drip trays are full of shit and some handles (every one of them is hard to pull) are sticky. Staff seems more interested in staring at themselves on their phones than tidying up. Time to lean, time to clean...
Anything other than chocolate and vanilla taste off. Whether it's artificial or natural flavor concentrates, crap like "cake batter," "green apple puke" or "salted carmel diaherrea" are pretty funky. I imagine the ingredient lists for some of these flavors is several pages long and full of words also found in chemical weapon manufacture.
One bright note, the toppings bar is usually pretty tidy and full of a wide range of gram-heavy items to pad the price of your cup.
Of course, it's absurdly overpriced. One of those small half-pint cups? Fill it full and it's $10.50 per the receipt. Great value, huh?
Oh, but they have daily specials... Like ride your bike on a Monday and get 20% off. Except, they don't follow through even when you mention it to the super disinterested, space cadet high school hipster manning the POS. And what's the deal with every place asking for a phone number for some sort of "loyalty program"? Are people that loyal to froyo, of all things!?! Odd.
I'm not going to go back and make a stink over $1.20, but I know that my repeat business isn't worth that much to them, so we have no problem riding to the much better ice cream joints around the neighborhood.
