Yogurberry is yet another frozen yoghurt chain store that has opened up in Auckland... which now…read moremakes a total of at least four (Yoghurt Story, KiwiYo, Yogoberry are the others I can think of off the top of my head) just in the CBD area?! I went in expecting the same as the fro-yo places I've visited in the past: self-serve yoghurt in a bunch of flavours and similar sugary toppings. The place itself is clean and spacious with some pretty funky décor (all white, wooden benches and wall, and a huge world map printed on the wall). There was a good selection of flavours, with some I hadn't seen elsewhere, like taro. The toppings station was also well stocked and pretty much the typical ones you find at the others - fruit, sprinkles, lollies, cereal, some sauces, popping pearls, mini cookies, and brownie and cheesecake bites. The taro, green tea and peach flavours I got (yes, I went all out) were not bad, but they were a little watered down and artificial tasting. For me, the consistency wasn't that great either, which was icier and less creamy than other froyo establishments. My friend opted for the caramel flavour, which neither of us particularly like, but the toppings (especially the cheesecake pieces) made up for that. Overall, Yogurberry is pretty attractive for its interior design and comfortable seating area, but frozen yoghurt wise, there are probably better choices. Also, there were no sample cups in sight, so it's really a case of take your pick and hope for the best!

Definitely falls into the category of an expensive sometimes treat…read more I had a fairly small-ish serving of the chocolate flavoured frozen yoghurt, which cost $4. I'd probably prefer to invest my hard-earned dollars in a boring ice cream from a dairy or even (horror) a soft-serve ice cream from McD's. That said, the fun of self-serve fro-yo is just that - it's a moment in which we have leave to regress right back to those all-you-can-eat days at Pizza Hut. You remember, you got all the "pizza, pasta, salad and desserts" you could eat, and the biggest attraction for the kids was of course, the soft serve and the miriad sprinkles. (Is it wrong that I remember that so vividly?). Of course this is a supposedly healthier option (it says low fat remember, not low sugar!), and I have to say I did enjoy my treat. I'll just remember to pull up on the handle a lot earlier next time.

Frozen yoghurt or 'fro-yo' is having an renaissance both in Auckland, and globally at the moment. A…read morefew places have popped up almost overnight and this one, located on busy central Queen Street is one of the most popular. While the orange and green uniforms donned by the staff are more than a little unfortunate the yoghurt itself is pretty good. The prices here are based on weight so while the initial price of $2.99 for a 100gram pottle sounds reasonable, don't do what I did and have a blonde moment while operating the heavy machinery (this is a DIY operation) and overfill it to the point of gluttony. What I initially just wanted as a little hot day mid-afternoon snack could easily have been consumed as a main meal and paying $11.00 for frozen yoghurt really wasn't cool but I have no but myself to blame. My choice of flavour was a mix of plain old vanilla and white choc/macadamia which was nice and fresh and best of all ice-cold. There are a choice of toppings also, so you can go from a more healthy option of fruit such as watermelon or pineapple or really go for gold with shaved chocolate, sweets and chocolate sauce. Whatever floats your boat!

I chose to have the lemon and yoghurt bombe alaska that was fantastic. The right amount of sweetness and tartness. There was a bit of confusion that kind of spoiled our experience as we also ordered the passion fruit and peach chocolate bon bon and was only told after the dish arrived that the passion fruit and peach were only available as shards, which was eight dollars more. We would have appreciated the waitress explaining that some of the chocolates came as shards and the others as bon bons, so we felt like we were tricked into ordering something. The cookie dough macaron was good but didn't remind us of cookie dough, more of a chocolate macaron. We left wanting a lot more from our experience chocolate- and pastry-wise.

It sounds very sweet and sickly but was pleasantly well balanced. I wish they had a Milse where I'm from! Actually maybe not, or else I'd be so broke.

I think it's nice because you can choose any of the ten flavours (single or mixed into a creative concotion!) and then how much exactly you can eat- not too much and not too little and then dish any of the toppings you like and how much you like. Not just frozen yogurts but also sorbets! Great range of fruit, nuts, lollies and sauces on offer. The pricing is great because you pay for what you self-serve since it's done by weight. The whole experience is quite fun. Especially cool YoBooth with the photo booth! A big fan of the location- perfect for summer! Can grab a Kiwi Yo and go down to the water or the green area! Must try, definitely in summer!

I never knew Kiwi Yo was there but curiosity got the best of me and I found myself standing in the line. Although the lines are long I can guarantee that after less than five minutes you will be serving up a storm. When you get to the front of the line there is always a friendly staff member who will ask "have you been here before", if your answer is yes you proceed and if your answer is no, you will receive some fro yo education. All one has to do is grab a cup, big or small (I recommend the big one) head to the ice cream looking machines and create your own amazing creation. There is no limit on on how much you can serve neither is there someone grilling you about your servings. If you are not too sure about the flavors you can taste the flavor before serving it into your cup. After that you head to the lolly, nut and sauce area. In this section you are welcome to mix custard, jelly babies, marshmallows and walnuts. This is all to add an oomph factor to your already jazzed up cup. After that is all done, you can walkover to the counter and pay, whats awesome is that you don't pay based on your cup size so do not be scared to grab the largest cup when entering!

Sweet-tooths unite and head to Lick!…read more An ice cream and sweet shop now that is heaven on a plate for people who love sugary treats. A word of caution to take it all in moderation of course. Speaking of moderation, how is this possible with the yummy range of ice cream flavours on offer! This is really an ice cream parlour so of course they do classic shakes like lime or chocolate to the decadent premium shakes like rocky road or pineapple lump - warning may be addictive! Plus they do cream soda floats. They have lots of lollies and sweets as the shop name suggests. My American is going to just love their US specialty candy like Twinkies, Wonka Theatre Boxes and Pop-Tarts. Don't worry if you are dairy free, gluten free or want vegetarian sweets because this store even has a range of items in these categories. Check out their online store.

It's…read morelike ice-cream but so much lighter (meaning I can eat tonnes more of it!) so when I saw the various frozen yogurt places pop up around Auckland, I was keen to go and try them out. I was so disappointed with Yoghurt Story! It's got everything it needs to be good: a great idea (with it being do it yourself), a great selection of toppings, and a funky, instantly recognisable brand identity. Yet, there's something missing. It just feels a bit average. The actual flavours of the fro-yo are insipid and it's really expensive for what you get (mine was $9 for a small pot with purposefully lightweight toppings as you pay for the weight). I prefer this Yoghurt Story to the one round the corner on Queen Street as it's much quieter; you can quite happily sit and eat your dessert and chill out rather have to deal with people walking in and out of Canterbury Arcade and the general hustle and bustle of the main street but it's still not a place I'd frequent again in a hurry, Auckland has much better food-stops on offer.
