| - A couple of coworkers and I visited Tasty Yo on friday (Oct.16th) in search of dessert after eating at Cabo Fish Taco. Across the street, we noticed the blue flourescent sign for Tasty Yo and headed in.
Tasty Yo specializes in tart frozen yogurt, meaning it is NOT sweet like "typical" frozen yogurt. This is the kind of yogurt that Pinkberry is famous for.
Tasty Yo yogurt comes in three sizes: small, medium and large. And for each size, you get the choice of three of different toppings. I found that to be very reasonable since the small costs $3 and you can get a choice of fresh fruit (available courtesy of local farmer's markets!), various cereals (cap'n crunch, cocoa pebbles, etc), chocolate chips and so on. Also, you have the choice of "drizzles," such as chocolate, caramel, and other seasonally available options.
I admit that I was very overwhelmed when it came to choosing toppings for my yogurt and ended up only chosing one toppping (although I was still very happy with it). However, one of my friends ordered hers with mango and chocolate drizzle and devoured it in under 5 minutes.
Also, I really appreciate the fact that all of the products (cups, napkins, utensils) are eco-friendly. The spoons are made out of cornstarch! Tasty Yo has a very laidback and friendly vibe. It's a family run business and on the night we visited, the owners were extremely friendly and accomodating.
Tasty Yo offers special deals or coupons on their yogurt quite frequently, so there is no reason why you shouldn't try it.
If you ever find yourself in NoDa for a gallery crawl, dinner with family or friends, a yoga class, etc., make sure you find some time to stop by Tasty Yo for a yummy treat!
