So I tried this place out, and boy am I glad I did. The fiancée is mostly vegan so she wanted to go. Went with her and my mom. We sampled a few and eventually settled on what we wanted to get. I think each of us got larges with 2 flavors and 2 toppings because.....because. So I want to break down a few parts as to why I settled on 4 stars.
First, the taste. It was amazing. Best vegan frozen yogurt I've ever had, and on par with the best non-vegan I've ever had. This probably puts it up over 5 stars, and it's the reason we will be going back.
Some negatives, though. One, portion sizes varied greatly. The back one in the picture was mine. Don't know if the pic does it justice, but it is significantly larger than the other two. Now, I don't know if I got too much or they got too little, but it a little "that's not fair" got thrown around.
Variety is also a problem. There is an extensive list of flavors, but only 6 we could choose from. I think you could have bought pints in other flavors, but for the whole experience, just 6. I get it - you don't need to have 31 flavors to be good, but I can easily see someone going in and just not finding a flavor they like.
Last is price. Two of them came to $13.50 each, with the one with the brownies being an extra $1, so $14.50. I guess brownies are "premium". There was nothing I saw to denote what was or wasn't premium. The charge was accurately listed on the board, but no real way to cross reference to the toppings out there. When 3 people going out for yogurt comes to over $40 plus tax...that's a lot.
Also, minor gripe, but I lost about 1/4 of my blueberries before I even got to sit down. A few were lost when she moved it over to the counter, a couple more in the handoff, and a couple on the floor before finally stopping to mash them in and stop the madness. Hard for me to say what I'd do different, but it was something I remembered.
I personally am a fan of the "pay by the ounce" model. Everything then is consistent and allows for people to add as much/many topping as they want. That's just my commentary on it.
Like I said, I'm going to go back I'm sure. Taste rules supreme.
