Tasty Yo is the first and best local frozen yogurt establishment I've tried in Charlotte. Before the mad TCBY and Yoforia rush hit the streets, Tasty Yo was taking hipsterville (NoDa) by storm. I had always thought that the existence of frozen yogurt was based solely around its poor substitution for ice cream. A friend told me that I HAD to try tart frozen yogurt. At first, my skepticism kept me away. After all, if I wanted tart frozen yogurt, couldn't I just throw a Dannon in the freezer and do it myself?
I was so wrong. My first visit to Tasty Yo had me hooked. Perky, creamy, and perfectly swirled with my choice of three toppings mounding over the cup. The fruit toppings were finely chopped so each bite could accommodate all three fruits. When I finally caved and asked for honey on my tart yogurt (with pineapple, kiwi and strawberry), I was in heaven. Truly.
I've heard lots of people tout locations with monstrous self-serve stations and gobs of toppings. If that's your thing, have at it. I prefer the simplicity and delicious texture of Tasty Yo's creamy, tart yogurt with fruit toppings.
Of all the yogurt shops I've tried, Tasty Yo boasts the best tart yogurt for both flavor and texture. If you're looking for an ice cream stand-in, don't come here. But if you're hankering for a perfect frozen treat that will leave you salivating for more, do yourself a favor and stop in at Tasty Yo.
