We arrived ~7:20pm on Friday night and waited in line for 45min.. as you'd expect with the froyo hype going on. It was pretty organized though. The shop is pretty small. Staff were friendly and they allow for samples. I got the original with chocolate cookie crumbs and their signature pistachio spread. I loved the creamy froyo consistency and creative toppings. read more

Very yummy Greek style froyo. Lately I've been obsessed with froyo so we had to come on opening day to try. Heard so many great things about this place and it did not disappoint. Got the Dubai pistachio topping which went soooo well with the froyo. They had so many other toppings to choose from if pistachio doesn't entice you. Would def come back and get their original flavor as that was my favorite one read more

Really good fro yo that comes with 3 flavor choices: original, seasonal and mixed. I always get the mixed. Favorite flavors is for sure the raspberry. For toppings, the berry crunch and then some chocolatey sauce thing is incredible. Service is fast, they make it for you. Line is long, but there's only people riding on the inside which makes it seem longer than it is. The line moves fast and is worth a try! read more

Waited in line for 45 minutes on opening day and while I usually wouldn't, I'm so glad I did because this was worth every penny! They let you sample their froyo flavors and though there are only three options, those three are more than enough as everything is so good. I got yuzu and highly recommend it! The hazlenut crunch and pistachio cream toppings are so good too! Felt super refreshing and delicious, though it is on the pricier end. I got the large which comes with three toppings and is $14. The only thing I didn't love was that the person making my bowl kept dropping more than half of the topping and when I asked if she could add a little more, she refused to and said it would be extra. The others that were working didn't seem to do that though so I think it was just the one woman who made my bowl. Overall, I def recommend stopping by! read more

Went here last night and the yogurt is perfectly creamy and delicious. It definitely gives the kind of greek yogurt consistency that I'm looking for. I probably could have gotten a large but ended up getting a medium with the pistachio crunch (which is an absolute must have), toasted coconut and cacao nibs. I was supposed to have gotten chocolate chips but they ended up giving it to me on the side which was nice! The cacao nibs were really bitter and highly recommend the combo of toasted coconut and pistachio instead- as well as the chocolate chips to give it that nice touch. They were also out of the Baklava topping that I definitely want to come back for. HIGHLY recommend. Although, we did wait over an hour last night and probably wouldn't wait that long again, but it definitely is up there as best froyo next to Culture. Come to BK! Also, service was great! read more

Service is decently quick, it's only for pick up so no seating, casual ambiance, good froyo. They have 2 seasonal flavors and their regular Greek yogurt flavor. Regular size comes with 2 toppings - I got Greek yogurt flavor with chocolate crumbs and kadaifa. I would say the yogurt tastes good but the amount of topping they put is actually pretty small compared to other froyo places. It's good but I wouldn't say it's worth a long line. I came on a cold day around 12 and waited 10 min. read more

Is it worth waiting in line for? No. Is it worth $10 for a little cup? Probably not. But is it good? Yes! The yogurt was completely unique - so richly yogurt-y but also light. And the pecan crumble topping, along with the very sticky honey that the counter person recommended (and which dripped into my shoe while I was strolling through the very picturesque West Village) went beautifully with the tart yogurt. read more

I was excited to try Myka at Hudson Yards, but unfortunately it was a disappointing experience. The line was extremely long because there were only two employees working, and only one of them was actually serving customers while the other was preparing orders. It made the wait much longer than it should have been. The frozen yogurt itself also wasn't enjoyable. It had a sour, almost spoiled taste. The only part I really liked was the pistachio topping, which made it a little more enjoyable. On top of that, the portion size was surprisingly small for the price. I paid $11.89 for a very small cup. Overall, between the long wait, the underwhelming taste, and the poor value for the money, I wouldn't come back or recommend it. read more

their froyo is INCREDIBLE and probably the best tart frozen yogurt i've tried thus far. however, the logistics and service of this place ruined my experience a bit. the line is insanely long and moves very slow given that their store is tiny. the inside of the store doesn't run super smoothly (you pay and order on the same side of the store, if that makes sense) which was a bit annoying. but their froyo is so good i fear it may be worth the hassle. the key is to get toppings that you like. i really enjoy the plain, tart flavor so i got sweet toppings that complemented the yogurt. the chocolate cookie crumbled and mykataifi were fireeee. read more

This place is ridiculous. Basic froyo with an aggressive marketing strategy, ropes outside and a yogurt bouncer. Sure it's tasty enough but it's nothing special. Similar to Madison Fare & Mimi's they offer premium toppings and a host of pistachio options. Without the toppings doubt most could distinguish it from Pinkberry. Was honestly a bit surprised how sweet it was. Expected something more creamy and sophisticated given the hype. Lots of folks seem to think this is some plucky startup but it's actually a global yogurt concept launched in Madrid a few years back. Around 200 locations and growing. They're about to launch in other areas of the city. The lines are entirely intentional. Surely people have better things to do. There's a reason the crowd is almost entirely young social media consumers. No one older or with heath problems could stand to wait on a line like this for yogurt. Lucked out to be walking by with almost no one in line. Even though we could easily have fit in the store we had to hold outside with the line master. When we entered was told we were allowed 1 sample. It wasn't entirely clear how much everything cost or what toppings were included. To say they had a soft hand would be an understatement. They sprinkled a sparse dusting of nuts on my yogurt. The employees were so apathetic and slow. Be prepared for the POS system to ask for a 20%+ tip on your $12 yogurt. Nothing about this business is efficient. The only garbage can in the place is a small straw laundry hamper with a top that has to be manually lifted off. Need a lid for your yogurt? They don't have them. Employee said "They're working on it" Suspect these glowing reviews are from people trying to justify spending an hour+ on line for froyo. There is nothing about this place's product that's unique or distinguishable from other places. It's simply froyo with a Greek themed interior. Birdies is right across the street. Their yogurt is solid. They have more choices (including a tasty vegan chocolate option) & seating plus the wait tends to be much more manageable. 20+ years ago places like Tasti D-Lite could manage the crowds. The lines at Myka are driven entirely by social media hype, choosing an intentionally small storefront/not installing enough machines for their NYC launch and hiring incredibly slow staff. The ropes were up as soon as the place opened. The goal was a line. They're not new to the game. They already have stores in Miami. Save your sanity and time and avoid this place if you have to wait. It's easy enough to get comparable (or superior) froyo all over the city. read more

Visited the new pop-up on 15th & Irving, which serves two flavors, their natural froyo and a rotating special. First time trying Myka after seeing it all over social. I had the natural with berry crumble and their house Mykataifi toppings. The yogurt itself is nothing special, tastes the same as pink berry or any other spot. The Mykataifi was definitely interesting and complemented the flavor really well. The price, even by NYC standards, is expensive for what you get. Two medium cups, which aren't that sizable, was $25. It was good to see what the hype was about, but I would not go back. read more

Tasted like frozen melon was crushed with ice and chopped into an ice/smoothie blend. Super refreshing. Very sweet, though. All flavors are very sweet, so a small portion can be shared and you will feel satisfied. I personally enjoyed their in-house special flavor of gelato: honey cream with crushed almonds, pistachios, and hazelnuts. That was bombastic! Love how nutty the consistency was. I love nuts, so this almost reminded me of a chunky peanut butter situation: just more fine grained and smooth, with gelato being the base. Highly recommend trying this flavor! Focacia was okay. A bit too dry and bland for my liking, but still decent. My favorite item was the pistachio bombolone which is officially now my favorite dessert. This was magnificent! The yeasty dough was so light and airy--perfectly light and balanced. The filling of pistachio cream was very delicate and not sweet at all, which was such a nice surprise. I do not like saccharine dessert. The fresh raspberry jam was a perfect balance to the pistachio cream. I never like jams in my desserts, but this was a perfect complement. Woooow, what a treat! Can't wait to return for it and to try more of their other flavors--hazelnut & chocolate, coconut, white chocolate, tiramisu. You could taste the superb quality of the ingredients. Highly recommend.

We had made a reservation for 9.30 am and they asked us to leave at 10.05 am because they had another reservation waiting. Kind of weird to only give 30mins to sit down, look at the menu, order and eat your food. I had just finished my last bite and the plates were taken away and we were given the cheque. The waitress was friendly, just wish we weren't rushed out.

The chili flakes added a nice little kick. *Angry Roni: A really satisfying pizza with lots of melty cheese and toppings. Service was very friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The ambiance is also nice. There is bar seating, communal tables, and a windowed area at the front of the restaurant that feels like a sunroom.

Finally made it to MYKA and the frozen yogurt definitely lived up to the hype! It was a super creamy, refreshing, and the mango swirl with the cherry topping was such a good combo. Everything tasted really fresh and not overly sweet. That said, be prepared to wait... we were there for over an hour, which felt a bit excessive for frozen yogurt. It's also a little pricey considering the portion size. Overall, really tasty and worth trying at least once, but probably best if you go during off-hours mid week. read more

The quality of the ice cream is fantastic. Creamy, rich, and smooth. They have speciality items for the month as well as some signature items. Most scoops come with a topping and the option of panna. Definitely get the panna! It's a better tasting whipped cream!

Best ice cream in the city!!!…read more I always take my friends here because the workers are super friendly and the ice cream is always amazing. I've gotten many of the rotating flavors and have never had a bad one. If the rotating ones are out of stock, I love to get a vanilla scoop with panna and olive oil! The red flag is not very strong on strawberry flavor so keep that in mind.

Along with several other froyo shops that have opened recently... and many in within short walking…read moredistance from each other, Birdie's is a popular spot in the Village (7th Avenue South/Charles Street). Lots of charming "Birdie's" branding on the walls, shelves and even the trash can. Team immediately "welcomes" each guest as they walk in and help you decide flavors and toppings. They assemble the froyo and toppings, it's not self serve. Choose from small, medium or large cups ($8, $10, $12 includes one house topping). After tasting the Peach flavor of the day (too subtle on flavor, wanted it more peachy), I ordered a small chocolate froyo, with pistachio sauce and strawberries (pistachio $2.50 premium topping, strawberries house topping). I thought the small size was a perfect amount, pistachio sauce was a little sparse for the price, but it was a nice addition to the cup... I would order this combo again for sure! There's often a line, but it moves fast and you will be happy you waited. I'm hooked on this froyo trend... bring it on! there's room for all, but definitely don't skip out on Birdie's. Tastes like creamy soft serve ice cream. They also have candy jars. Tables inside and outside.

The toppings are generous, and the staff was happy to answer any questions. Not surprisingly, Birdies is $$$--for three small cups (including only one "premium" $2.50 topping), the bill added up to about $34, before tip.

Yall it is hot outside today!…read more It was a cute shop and inside is pretty but you can't go inside and sit down which was unfortunate. The person serving was really quick. I'll say this one time: IF YOU DO NOT LIKE GREEK YOGURT YOU WILL NOT LIKE THE FROZEN YOGURT. I on the other hand loveee Greek yogurt and would say this frozen yogurt was very satisfying for a hot day out. My friend got the Mykataifi topping and I got the chocolate crumbs. It was a tart dessert that tastes like plain Greek yogurt but it was refreshing because of the coldness. Overall I would come back again!

I normally go for sweet yogurt but the tangy flavor combined with the hazelnut and pistachio spreads was soooo good I didn't want it to end. I have never had anything like it. The inside of the small froyo shop is very cutely decorated with a Greek decor vibe. Service was friendly and quick. Will likely be back!

Cinnamon rolls are a fan favorite, and it was such a smart business idea to open a bakery that…read moreserves them in a wide array of flavors. I made the trek to their Alphabet City location when they first opened a couple of years ago, joined the line, and was later told they had sold out for the day. After hearing from a friend who tried them at a different time that they were dry, I temporarily crossed them off my bookmarks list. That is, until they opened a location in my stomping grounds of Flatiron, and I spotted no line. There were many flavors I wanted to try but these rolls are enormous, even to share among two people, so my partner and I settled on one to see if we liked it first. We love guava and cheese pastries so sat down at one of their tables and had to eat it with a fork and knife because it was smothered in frosting. So, I am sensitive to pastries that are too sweet and while this definitely hit my upper limit of sweetness, it was so delicious that I did end up eating my whole half share of the roll. I'm glad I didn't get a dry batch and would happily recommend these to other cinnamon roll fans.

Great experience at Rivareno…read more Surprisingly no line on a nice Friday at around 6pm. Lots of great gelato flavors to choose from...as well as some hot and cold coffee options. I had a medium cup ($11) with three flavors....all of which were great. Prices were on par...if not slightly higher...than other similar gelato places in the city. Staff was friendly, patient and efficient. There are a few tables and chairs inside as well as outside.

They let you sample the gelato before you commit which is always a plus. They even let us try an off menu matcha that was actually really good. Strong, bold matcha flavor and once it hits the menu it is definitely worth trying. The Banoffee Rivareno with mascarpone, banana, and caramel was good and tasted like a creamy banana. Simple but satisfying. The Cremino Rivareno with hazelnut, white chocolate ganache, and gianduia swirl was delicious and one of our two picks. Not super sweet which was a nice change. The Tiramisu was recommended to us and it did not disappoint. It was probably our favorite flavor outside of the matcha and paired really well with the Cremino Rivareno as a combo. The portion was so generous that we were full afterwards and ate a light dinner.
