| - **this is an edit from my original post..i didnt have time to write the full review, so here it is!
Happened to pass by this place just coming from a visit to Red Mango. U-Swirl Frozen yogurt just recently opened last Saturday, and is already gaining some buzz. It does help that at night, they have those lights that beam up in the sky and make circles. I'm pretty sure there is a technical term for those lights, but im drawing a blank. Anyways.....
The place is located on the corner of Eastern and Coronado, right across the street from Kmart, and in the plaza where there's a Palm Beach Tan, and the Social Security Administration. Pretty good location, and the store itself is bigger than Red Mango. As far as i am aware, they close at midnight on saturdays, but i forgot to ask the other times. (**edit 5/25 i just edited the business info for the specific times)
There are entrances to the left and the right. We entered on the left, but you should enter to the right, since that's where the cups are. There were four people there who greeted us. One even gave us a tour on how to get yogurt. Cups are i believe in 2 sizes. Also, they don't give out samples due to health code violations, with the yogurt being soft serve and all...so that's a bummer.
There were 8 machines, which means 16 flavors! Above the cups, there is a list of what flavors are available for that day, and what number dispenser it is in. If two flavors are in the same dispenser, you can swirl it. They have flavors like sugar free vanilla and chocolate, regular vanilla and chocolate, alpine mint, pistachio, strawberry, cookies and cream, tart, mango tart, and so many others that I couldn't memorize. My only gripe is that ok, you get your cup, and there is a small walkway to get the yogurt. There is a short wall dividing the yogurt from the sitting area, which makes it difficult if people are undecided on what to get, and then youre stuck at the beginning because you are being blocked. But patience is a virtue we all must possess.
There are no punch cards at this time, and I dont know if there will ever be any. The place is very clean. It comes with Free WiFi and they were playing music. There was no TV, but that's fine. The interior isn't so trendy like Red Mango, but it isn't tacky like other places ive been to.
Now onto the yogurt. The consistency was creamy, though when you dispense it, it was slow to dispense because of the creaminess/thickness. I chose the tart and mango tart, which I liked. I also added only fresh berries, which was great. Their toppings bar is smaller than some of the other ones ive seen, and it's not like an toppings island like Yogurt land. I like their mochi better than Red Mango cuz it was more sweet. Their strawberries were sour, but I wouldn't blame them, I blame the strawberries. Places like these cant always be winners with their berries.
Their tart isn't as tart as Red Mango, BUT it wasn't as thick either. Red Mango's is thick and I can't decide if it's too icy, or too creamy. But U-Swirls consistency is similar to ice cream and Golden Spoon. Oh, by the way, spoons are a neon green color. Ive tried cheese cake, and the pistachio also, off of my family. You cant really taste the pistachio, but I liked the cheesecake flavor.
Price is cheap as ever - $0.36 an oz! I spent a little over $3 for a good-sized portion, and it made me happy . rate it five stars because this place is different than the other places around town - with the closest self serve being by UNLV. 16 flavors and a plethora of toppings..yum!
Ok, so ive written enough. I get excited writing about places that excite me.hehe..but I definitely suggest giving them a try, if youre in Henderson. There are other places near by, especially Golden Spoon just across the street, but when you have the freedom to control your portion and prices, what more could you want?
