Yumi Yogurt @ Santa Clara is serving up frozen yogurt at fair prices. That's right, because it's full service fro-yo with fixed prices. Look around, everything costs more. But the question is, did you enjoy your frozen yogurt or ice cream? Was the service great? Did you like your experience?
A Yelp review is a consumer experience.
At the junction of Stevens Creek Blvd & Saratoga Ave, you will find a small plaza next to the McDonalds. At night, the beautiful neon glow of Yumi Yogurt will attract your attention. A fellow Yelp Elite told me about this place, but I didn't have time to stop and visit. The other night my job finished up at Kaiser-Santa Clara, and I decided to head over and visit Yumi Yogurt.
I love the warm glow of the neon lights. I walked in and waited in line. The menu had plenty of flavor choices. I just went with my old favorite, Chocolate/ Vanilla Swirl. A medium cost $8 with no toppings. The young lady filled up the clear plastic container, and then more and more. She asked "for here or to-go?" You always say to-go. With that answer, she tried to jam a lid on this fro-yo tower and wrap it in plastic sheeting. I told her all that wasn't necessary. The staff were friendly, helpful, and fun to talk to.
The fro-yo was smooth and creamy with no chalky after taste. It's a huge serving for a medium. $8 seems expensive, but it's not if you compare it to other places. I have reviewed over a dozen fro-yo places in the last 6-8 months, and $8 for a medium (that's over loaded) is actually cheap.
The Yumi Yogurt container holds 16-oz. $8.00 / 16 = 50 cents/oz
Yogurtland @ Cupertino charges 79 cts per oz. 16 x 79 cts = $12.64
The difference is Yumi Yogurt charges extra for toppings. Yogurtland charges my weight for everything in the cup.
It really depends on what you like. I just want the fro-yo with no toppings, and good customer service. So a place like Yumi Yogurt is a good choice for me. I'll be back to try other flavors.
Free parking in lot.
