BEST SMOOTHIES IN CHICAGO!!! The "make your own" smoothies are incredible. There are so many options, all real ingredients, and I never spend more than 10$ on a large smoothie. I come here so often that they have my order programmed in. The gals who work here are all so lovely and kind!! I love to chat with them while getting a smoothie. They are always tidying up the froyo stations and toppings as people serve themselves, so the next person has a cleaner experience. The place is so colorful and cute, there's plenty of seating, and shelves of board games. There's a cereal bar, hot fudge, hot chocolate in the winter, and lots more. I am constantly trying to spread the word about this place. My favorite spot in Chicago, hands down. read more

This is a wonderful place to go to during the summer and when it is really hot BUT they need to not have STALE stuff. everything I've gotten has been stale. But overall it is chill read more

This place hittttttt, been wanting frozen yogurt for a minute and this place was it. They had a bunch of toppings more than I've seen in other places. Me and my girlfriend just had to keep trying all the different toppings lol. Trust there is a lot of frozen yogurt on the bottom of it lol. 10/10 we will be back!! read more

Forever Yogurt - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

forever yogurt is super cool!!! i feel like frozen yogurt is a lost art (as a native Californian, there are so few spots in chicago). i did end up getting a smoothie but i will be back for froyo. i love this place because its so unique- they have so many different spots to sit inside as well as games and a jukebox (!?). i'd definitely come here to hang out with friends, chat & play board games. my friends were getting Jeni's across the street but i wanted to check this place out so unfortunately didn't get to hang out here for too long but i want to come back. the cashier was rlly nice explaining the smoothie ordering process to me! read more

Forever Yogurt - post workout Smoothie 20oz - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Places that allow you to grab your own soft serve and then top however you like might not be all the rage anymore, but I still love them. The issue is that especially with the love children have for places like this, the toppings bar can quickly devolve into pandemonium. Well, let me tell you what earned this place the fifth star is that despite there being three or four kids running around as if it were a playground, the toppings bar was neat, tidy, and well stocked. Better than I have seen it in a lot of similar places for sure. When it comes to froyo, while they don't have as many flavors as Baskin Robbins, there is a fair selection, as well as some fun seasonal ones. As for toppings, they have a very wide selection, including many kinds of cereal. Finally, they have more than a handful of board games. it's nice to have a place where you're able to chill for a little bit with friends, as opposed to getting your food, eating it, and leaving. With all this, Forever Yogurt not only earned itself a fan, but someone who would be happy to bring a couple friends here to spend an hour-ish. Until next time! read more

Food - great selection of yogurts + toppings + other protein stuff !!! Service - super polite and cool staff working!!! Ambient - it's like chilling in your living-room and chatting with your friends!!' 5stars from me. Ziveli !!! read more

Forever Yogurt - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Cute place. Staff was very nice and the space was nice and open. They have an amazing amount of toppings you can put on your yogurt, from candy to cereal. You are charged by the oz., so your cups are weighed at the end. I will say that the yogurt was super cold for me, so cold in fact that I couldn't taste the flavor of the strawberries or the toppings I got. And believe it or not, I got an internal chill from eating it. The Queen got some to go and it did not melt right away. Not sure what they are using to make the yogurt but man it is super cold! I would say, if you are like The Queen, this is the place for you with all of the options offered. She goes it quite a bit, so if you are a yogurt person and like a trillion options for toppings, this is the place for you. Although I am guessing that in the summer, this would be a good way to cool down my internal temperature. read more

This place was amazing! I really liked the ice cream/ yogurt and there was a variety of toppings, so it was very inclusive. The service was amazing, and everyone was so nice! The place was clean, and a comfortable space. Why I give it a four is because it was so expensive. Me and my two family members got some, and it was 30 dollars for three people! But is was worth it! read more

So fire. Great options, vibes, games, staff, music, friends, family, love..... what else could you ask for?

We love Andersonville, it's a quiet neighborhood located between the Loop and O'Hare. It's not easy to get to by train, since the nearest stop will still have you walk several blocks before getting to the center of the neighborhood, but once there, we often stop at Forever Yogurt. You walk in and you pick an empty cup and you can fill it up with up to 14 different yogurt flavors and then top the cup with over 60 toppings. It can get expensive, but it's a build your own concept, so you can get exactly what you want.... Loud music plays inside, so you better like music ! read more

My husband and I both got some frozen yogurt here. My husband has never had frozen yogurt do they explained the process and gave us gloves for self-serve. The main thing I noticed is they don't take away the weight of the cup so that $0.69 per oz includes the weight of the cup. We both, of course, over filled our cups but it was still worth the deliciousness even if it was super melty towards the end. I do hope to return one day, and next time hopefully I won't overfill my cup and waste yogurt. I got cookie & cream yogurt and chocolate chip cookie yogurt, along with butterfinger, reeses pieces and hot caramel as toppings. I definitely am looking forward to trying something different next time. Thanks for the deliciousness. read more

Was shocked, shocked that a bowl of frozen yogurt- $10. Ridiculous! Maybe have fewer flavors. We won't be back!

When the frozen yogurt shop bubble burst in the later half of the 2010s, the unsuspecting patrons (high school tweens, almond moms, and suburbanites hanging out in the big city) of these establishments would have no idea of the harrowing froyo shop scarcity they would face in 2023. /I/ had no idea how hard it would be to find good fro-yo post 2016, I wish it was a 2012 trend that stuck around!!! Unrelated, did you know there are only 3 dairy queens in Chicago and they are only across the Northside? There are only a few frozen yogurt places left in the old guard outside of the red mangos in downtown Chicago, and perhaps one of the best is Forever Yogurt. I don't CARE that it's a chain, it's FOREVER. FOREVER YOGURT. that's what I chant in my heart every day, FOREVER YOGURT. Ben Platt sang about this, "all I see is sky for forever yogurt!!" You walk in and BOOM it's well lit and cozy, stacks of cups, the hum of the froyo machines, there is a variety of seating and tables, and then the TOPPINGS LITERALLY STRETCH FOR FOREVER. is that why they call it forever yogurt? FOREVER YOGURT. The tangy froyo first of all, is delicious, classically creamy and tangy, it's perfect. There are like 5 topping stations and types? It's CRAZY. there's literally every candy imaginable, cookies (including the Caramel delights), FRESH CRISP fruit, nuts, fudge, popping boba, mochi, sprinkles, nerds, like literally anything I've could have imagined at a froyo shop, they got it. It's clean and efficient and the staff are SO FRIENDLY AND WELCOMING and all greet you when you walk in that beautiful door. Better yet, there are board games in the back, and wifi!!! I want this to be a beloved community and neighborhood space so bad, please give forever yogurt some love. FOREVER YOGURT. I live so far from Andersonville but I'm gonna make the shlep religiously. The last thought I leave you is that forever yogurt is abbreviated for-yo. DO IT FOR YOOOOOOOOO read more

I love coming to forever yogurt for a healthy take on dessert! They have the nutrition labels clearly written above each flavor (for my fellow health conscious foodies) and just about every topping you can think of. The space is clean and the staff is friendly & constantly making sure the topping area is refreshed and tidy. Definitely recommend read more

I came in today and I am a regular customer and there was a cashier I have never seen before who was giving us dirty looks and when we went to pay we asked her to put our rewards in and she heard but didn't put nothing in she was giving us attitude and was just acting in a rude manner which just ruined the whole experience. She had a messy bun on and black leggings. read more

I am a yogurt lover and this place always hits the spot. Due to the high rent I am guessing... the yogurt is certainly not inexpensive. But it is perfect for an every-now-and-then treat!!! read more

I went inside while my girlfriend and pup waited outside, and they told my girlfriend that she could come in with the dog. They gave my pup a sweet treat while we got our frozen yogurt. They were so kind. The froyo was standard, but I would go back simply because the employees were so kind. read more

Great frozen yogurt joint. Pretty typical but delicious with lots of options. They had like 6 kinds of popping boba, my favorite topping. The employees were all very friendly and greeted everyone in and out. The place is clean and had a bunch of board games you can use. Don't forget that you pay by weight, lest you have a $15 dessert. I got a swirl of the tart and mango sorbet, excellent combo. read more

Forever Yogurt - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

If you are looking to find a bright and kid friendly late night foyo this is your place! This is normally my go to place when I want a healthy conscious ice cream alternative. I was taken back by my customer service experience this evening which is not consistent w/ my previous visits. I was prompted to leave a review as a reflective learning moment for growth . I paid for my sisters ice cream but I was not finished adding my toppings so I told my sister she had to wait. I was looking for the best strawberries then tried one and realized "hey these aren't sweet" i still got my items as I felt rushed to check out. it took me a while to get my right credit card bc the Apple Pay was not working when I knew I had available funds . I had to try a different tender where I had to transfer money so that took extra moments. On top of this delay, The associate made me feel super uncomfortable as she was sighing and rolling her eyes even my younger sister observed . There was no sense of customer service or empathy as I was already under pressure my first tender didn't work. She wanted to swipe my card for me as she was rushing I told her I would do it as I was trying to ensure my card was ok bc i planned to use it for other purchases . I ask for her to please print my receipt when I saw she rolled her eyes I just left the receipt on the counter as I couldn't believe the blatant attitude when I'm always conscious of having to deal w the matters of my payment like what a way to magnify problems w/ my payment that she show insensitivity. I sit down to enjoy my foyo with my sister and then another girl approaches me. She attempts to salvage the experience which ends in her catching an attitude wanting to go back in forth with me in front of my teenage sister who I'm trying to teach problem solving skills and to not be a sassy girl to rise above just to observe this encounter. I did not appreciate her being combative yelling at me to have a nice day as the experience tonight drove me to throw away my ice a cream and leave bc I'm trying to teach my sister not to go back and forth w/ others over trivial matters. There was a sense of entitlement and trying to demonstrate authority over pride . Not worth it . I will go licky split which is closer to me and share my experience w/ others about forever yogurt so they don't have to experience what I did . I asked for district contact manger said it was franchise that I could have the owners number . Just be aware young sassy attitude if you don't meet their status quo. read more

Whenever I'm in town to visit my daughter we stop by forever yogurt . Never disappointed, best froyo place I've ever enjoyed. Met the owner one time and he was such a cool dude . One day in the summer we came here 3 times ( don't judge) read more

Popular fro-yo pay as you weigh jernt. More toppings than are reasonable. Delude yourself that this place is healthier than real ice cream and enjoy. read more

Wandered in one night while on our way to karaoke and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since. Multiple fun flavors, every topping you can conceive of, A CEREAL BAR, and a color changing spoon to shovel it all into your face with. Staff was so, so friendly too. read more

Forever Yogurt - A magnificent concoction topped with fruity pebbles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My friend and I were visiting chicago and this place was bitchin! As someone who is certainly not a creature of the night, this place got me up and out of my cage! Don't worry, "cage" is a metaphor for my comfort zone. Anyways, wonderful froyo and toppings selection. Also, what do you guys think about adding Chex mix to the tower of toppings? Take care! Wishing you a good luck in Atlantic City! read more

Love this place! Staff is wonderful, the place is always clean, and the toppings are sinful. Not sure of a favor? Just ask for a sample. In the winter, the chocolate bombs are a must! read more

FOREVER, MY HEART!! I have never in my LIFE, EXPERIENCED such a SELECTION of yogurt toppings. Cereal game? Strong. Yogur flavor flavs? Robust. Candi choices? Classic. Boba variety? Unbeatable. Being in here makes you feel like a kid. But it also makes you feel in control of your own destiny, your own future, your fate. Choose whatever speaks to you. For me that included a single gummy worm. That's the beauty of such a place. Also - FYI this place has a very deluxe changing station for babies. It's also actually a surprisingly nice comfy place to sit. read more

Forever Yogurt - Frozen yogurt with cereal heck yaaaaa - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Went in today to take a look around for any new flavors, and this random guy in a green Jersey approached me and asked Me if i was "smoking". Which was weird. He didn't seem like he worked there. There two girls with ponytails barley acknowledged me. The layout of the store was neat and semi clean. There was no crowd,i bought a cup and so i paid for this measly cup and left. Didn't stay because i didn't feel welcome. Please Work on getting your employees mannerisms,down packed. read more

This is not your average fro-yo place. It is the most impeccably clean establishment packed with entertainment for all ages, every board game you can imagine. Their homemade juices are too die for and the service is top notch. Every time I go in there there is not a drip of yogurt on any machine, the spoons in the toppings ate always perfectly placed and the owner goes above and beyond what anyone would ever expect to make sure you get what you came for and more. He even stood outside and watched my kids bikes when we stopped in unexpectedly one day without locks. Seriously...there is something here for everyone. They even have a coffee bar! read more

We have lived in the area for almost 4 years now and though we have almost stepped in countless times, somehow it took us until tonight to actually do so. Boy, do I regret the time we have wasted! Perhaps we were just of the mind that, though always yummy, all froyo shops are more or less created equal. Alas, this Forever Yogurt location stands tall above the rest! Along with having *plenty* of flavors to choose from and swirl together, this place also boasts the biggest selection of toppings I have ever seen, my dreams included! If that's not enough, they also have a full menu of smoothies and juices. There is truly something for everyone! And when I say everyone, I mean it. While I was checking out, the owner(?) offered our pup his favorite dish: a puppacino. It was a puppacino to put Starbucks to shame! Our boy tends to be a little shy about eating outside of his element, but when I placed the little bowl of whipped cream garnished with a milk one in front of him, he went at it like nothing I've ever seen him do before! My fiancé and I enjoyed our cups, too. I overzealously topped them both with more toppings than we could handle, unable to resist ever new yummy treat that caught my eye. Of course I wish I grabbed their names, but the girl who seemed training there tonight was super helpful and sweet. I only imagine she was training because the owner (again, assuming) was teaching her fun facts about the store as I eavesdropped. On the entryway door, we noticed a sign stating that they provide free WiFi for students in the back. Of course it has become infinitely harder for students to find a place to study during the pandemic. And when capacity is limited and WiFi users tend to spend less money to the amount of time they stay in the store, it's unfortunately understandable why most places don't allow people to do so. But it is so wonderful to see a place that cares to provide a space for students despite it all. Also by the entryway door? A big bowl of the aforementioned milkbones. Our suddenly food-motivated pup selfishly grabbed another one on our way out. Needless to say, we are looking forward to making up for lost time and visiting often in the future! read more

This is by far one of the best Forever Yogurt places I've ever been. Right by my job 2 blocks down. Quality is perfection. Coffee and juice press is amazing. My boy Emilio is the best hands down. Always nice and polite and helps out. Can't thank much. This is great. #FroyoAndersonville #ForeverYogurtAndersonville read more

Incredible topping selection! They have fun cereals, cotton candy crunch, and other unique offerings. I have never seen such an immaculate frozen yogurt place. Everything was delicious! read more

You have to try this place! Thought we were headed to just another frozen yogurt place... But I was so wrong. First, they have more toppings than any place I've been. Candy, cereal, fresh fruit, sprinkles, sauces, everything.. And it was all neat and clean. Second, this is a paradise for families and kids. A play area for young kids with a dollhouse and other toys, board games, comfortable seats, and fun decor. Third, they have the best baby changing station in their bathroom. I've never seen anything like it. They have extra supplies like diapers and cream, plus a comfortable changing station. Great yogurt, amazing atmosphere and amenities. Worth a visit every time you're in the area! read more

As being from Israel, I have never felt more comfortable to walk into this undiscrimatory environment. The staff are incredible and their desserts are delicious. I've been a regular for years and nothing in that store is anti-Semitic. For the owner being Palestinian he supports everyone and his positivity is so welcoming. read more

My little visits here are always so pleasant and the froyo is tasty with TONS of toppings available. The staff is constantly cleaning up and maintaining the entire area with a smile and infectiously positive attitudes. Something great is going on here and I see you all. read more

I can't imagine anyone rating this Forever Yogurt shop negatively. I'm a froyo and Andersonville lover. This specific shop fits in so well with all the local shops and vibes! I always forget the forever yogurt is such a large company because of how well they've done with making sure this place is unique and fits in with local people/shops. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. I also have many memories of coming here for some froyo and playing board games with my *now* fiance. I'll cherish those memories forever :) plus, the yogurt is always amazing and there are so many options for toppings! Yum read more

This specific Forever Yogurt in Andersonville has always been a pleasure to walk into. Nothing has changed on our first visit back after a long time due to the COVID crisis. The manager/owner and/or worker there is one of the most professional and enthusiastic people I have ever witnessed in a business. Treats every consumer with the same great attitude and is helpful when needed. You can tell he takes such great pride in his work. Every business should take a look at how this is being run and follow as an example. I always leave actually wishing I could have an option to leave a tip on my card. Additionally, the yogurt is really tasty and there are an insane amount of options for toppings. My suggestion: vanilla frozen yogurt, layered with granola, white chocolate chips, and strawberries. It's fantastic. read more

Forever Yogurt, y'all need to get a new logo. It took me a few months before I had a strong desire to walk into your store. You've got two dungs flying as your logo... lol. Anyways, don't let that deter you. I'm from the West Coast where yogurt is literally at every single corner. I've got to say, Forever Yogurt's original tart is pretty competitive. It taste great, very similar to Yogurtland's. Oooof, don't get me started with the cheesecake bites! Yum. Oh, this might deter you... I would've definitely given this place four stars, but the team members need to be more attentive. They give people sample cups, and let them run wild. Customers are using the sample cups and reusing them. Yuck! How disgusting... You're eating someone else's saliva. I'm not sure if people don't have common sense, or they innocently don't know? Gross... Let's just say, I haven't been back since. I've converted to Pink Berry where this saliva issue isn't even a possible problem. read more

This place went from great to phenomenal!! They recently remodeled the whole store, updated their board games and added lots of new flavors and toppings. The owner is always cheerful and helpful! Greets every customer upon arrival, which is rare now a days. The store is always clean and topping are fresh. My kids love going. read more

So many different topping choices, including 5 different types of cookie dough! The best and kindest service :) would definitely recommend

We absolutely love this place! My daughter takes ballet at Gus and after the class we always stop for a treat. Mr. Noah is always very welcoming, and kind. He always offers the kids something to color, special cookies or some type of treats. The freshly squeeze juices are delicious as well!! We have not tried the crapes yet but we will for sure in the future. They even have puppy treats by the door so the kids love watching the dogs:) read more
