It's getting the best of both worlds! All chocolates are sold by the pound, but if you do not wish to buy in bulk, Owner Mario will charge $2 for each gourmet chocolate.

It's super tiny inside and only 3-5 people can comfortably stand to order. We got a few cookies and were on our way! Their cookies are all in the ~$4 range which is pretty fair for these specialty flavors and good quality cookies. My favorites in order were the Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie, the Banana Pudding Cookie, the Matcha w White Chocolate Chip Cookie, and lastly, the Ube Cookie. The Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie was gooey, sweet, and decadent in all the right ways. I'm a sucker for banana so I very much enjoyed the Banana Pudding Cookie. You taste actual banana! This is 10x better than the one Magnolia Bakery has! The Matcha w White Chocolate Chip Cookie had a gentle bitterness/umami flavor that was offset by the sweetness of the white chocolate chips. The Ube Cookie was also good but surprisingly the ube didn't shine through as much here. All in all, you will not have a bad bite here and it's all a matter of preference. So glad I finally stopped by!

This place is amazing. So many options for your sweet tooth. They are always very friendly and accommodating to my needs. I was able to get a bunch of candy for for my friends. They had everything that everyone liked so I only had to make one stop. Would highly recommend in the summer for their ice cream and shakes as well.

Not even sure what part of the counter to go to with my ice cream to pay, or where to order soft-serve. So they can work on that. But I sent a friend inside to get something cool on a hot day & he came out licking the soft-serve like a lil child; he loved it, said it 'hit the spot'. Yeah it's worth the price. Go get it.

Flavors were not really tart like yogurt. I tried watermelon, Pina colada and mango. The fruit ones tasted a bit artificial like water ice turned from but slightly less sweet. I dont remeber seeing original yogurt but they had vanilla. They have the generic toppings like popping mango boba but didn't have mochi pieces like how pinkberry/red mango would have. The Mrs fields is in the store too. The cookies looked different from what I remembered how they looked in the malls. They were pretty flat. They had a selection of "yesterday's batch" for $7 (maybe 7 ish cookies max in it). Not sure how much value there is there. There are two tables out side to eat and you can ask for froyo samples. Overall, the lady there was informative on the offerings but the froyo was not cold enough. It melted pretty fast like how carvel melts fast. Flavor variety is good but doesn't bring the tart profile that you expect from FROYO. If you crave sweet&cold dessert, I would frequent another place. It was just OK in my mind for it's yogurt offering.

This place is an amazing little gem to come and get some froyo!…read more The shop is relatively small, so covid-19 precautions are heavily implemented here. 3-4 people (typically a small group or family) are allowed in at once and if there is a line, they must wait outside for their turn in. Once you are inside, you are required to put on hand sanitizer before touching anything and that station is located right next to the cups, so it's impossible to miss it. There are a few different sized cups, 12oz/16oz/24oz, but I typically go for the smallest one since i feel it's the perfect size to fill me up. There is a nice variety of flavors. These flavors range from French Vanilla, Classic Chocolate, Sweet Coconut, Cake Batter, Original Tart, Dulce de Leche, Strawberry, Mango, Pistachio Gelato & Pomegranate Raspberry. However, I really wanted to try the dulce de leche to see how it tasted so that's the one I went with! Next up is the toppings station! There's so many different options to choose from where you can mix and match to really give your froyo some added personalization and extra flavor. Since i've got a sweet tooth, I added mini M&M's, brownie chunks, granola and 2 pirouette cookies to mine. However, as I mentioned there's a ton of different options that could satisfy anyone. Just keep in mind, when you pay, the cost depends on the weight of the cup and it's contents. Mine was around $7. The froyo was delicious! I had no complaints whatsoever. The shop was clean, the staff was friendly and overall, i'd definitely come back here again!
