My kids and I stopped by Orange Leaf last week as a "last day of school" treat. They are big fans of "make your own" frozen yogurt and we were excited to try a new spot.
Unlike other Yelp reviewers, we had no trouble parking or waiting in line - it was 2 pm on a Thursday. Their credit card machine was down that day, and the woman behind the counter was very helpful and even let me write an out-of-state check when I didn't have cash - which I really appreciated!!
Unfortunately I was pretty disappointed in the actual yogurt. I tried banana, which was pretty boring. I also took a bite of my daughter's grape flavor, and it was so sweet and fake tasting that it made me cringe. They have a fun variety of toppings, but most of it is candy and other sweet stuff like sugary cereal. I would have liked some more fresh fruit. And, the "white chocolate" topping that I pumped onto my daughter's yogurt honestly looked pretty disgusting, like it had separated inside the container. (Yes, she put white chocolate on her grape yogurt...what can I say, she's five.) Finally, the sprinkles were practically hidden behind the register, and I didn't see them until after I let my kids have Fruity Pebbles on top because I thought there were no sprinkles. Man - those sprinkles are a hot commodity - they should be out front and center for the 5 and under crowd!
The restaurant itself had a fun vibe, with its fun color scheme and the cool white chairs, but when you looked closely, the tables and floor were pretty dirty. I also would like some outside seating, though this might be out of their control. I thought the price was good for what we got, though we were offered no samples, nor were we informed of any type of rewards program, which other Yelpers have mentioned.
Final thoughts - while I wouldn't say this was a bad experience, Orange Leaf will not likely be our top choice the next time we are looking for a cool treat.
