Best yogurt shop I've been to in my entire life. Best best tasting yogurt on earth cheapest yogurt you can get in town and I ate it with the cutest girl ever. Overall, an amazing experience. I have no idea how I haven't found this place for the past 20 years, but I'm gonna start coming every day. The second I walked in I got welcomed by amazing art on the wall and a chair that I love to sit in. The lady is very good at cleaning the machines she's doing it as I speak. Also, I love license plates. And to make it even better, they have one from every single state on the wall. Like could this get any better but wait there's more. They had paper towels.!!!!!' this is a great addition to add because if I got messy, I had paper towels just in case. It's a great vibe this music playing 24/7 which I love. if I wanted, I could spend my whole life in this yogurt shop. Where else in town are you supposed to fill your cup as much as you want only for $4.75 are you kidding me. This is insane.!!! The only flaw is this spoons or green. If I could give criticism, I would like the spoon to be red and blue. I love this place so much that I decide to write a poem about it. Here it is hope you enjoy .. First time at Yogurt Shack, what a sight to see, Fill your cup as high as you want--only $4.75? That's a steal to me. Smiles everywhere, the vibes are kind, One of those places that just lifts your mind. Walls covered loud, opinions on display, Didn't expect the décor, but hey--that's part of the day. The yogurt? Unreal. Creamy, cold, divine, Every single flavor felt like a win in its prime. Sweet bites, good energy, memories made, Honestly one of the best stops I've ever had. Came for the yogurt, stayed for the cheer, Yogurt Shack--you've got me coming back, that's clear Overall, I just wanna say there's not one thing I would change about the yogurt shack to make this place even better while I'm writing this review I can see that they have a Padres logo hung up at the top on a disco ball like that's insane. I love the Padres so much and can just get any better. It feels like I'm in a dream right now. This is unreal. Bring all your friends bring your family. Bring Donald Trump. Get them all to come here. By far the best yogurt shop in the entire world!!!!!!!! Peace out and see you soon! read more

Busy busy busy! Right when we walked in, there was standing room only on a Tuesday evening. Quirky decor but with homely vibes, we loved it! Flat fee on yogurt cups. Great deal. You choose and pay for the cup at the register before you get your yogurt. Lots of flavors to choose from and lots of toppings. Unfortunately, two of the flavors of yogurt ran out so had to go with plan B. Their yogurt did not disappoint. It was creamy and delicious! I thought I was eating ice cream! What a find. SO glad we tried this place. read more

One of the best places for self-service yogurt! I've been coming here for years and always enjoy the experience. Great selection, fresh toppings, and a fun atmosphere. I also love the riddles they put up -- such a nice touch that makes the place even more unique and enjoyable. Always a great stop when craving frozen yogurt! read more

Definitely feels like a locals spot. I love that they charge a flat fee for froyo and you fill your cup accordingly. They had tons of flavors -- vanilla, tart, chocolate, dole strawberry, dole pineapple, cotton candy, salted caramel, and more. They had lots of toppings with unique ones like marshmallows and cupcake bites, and hot toppings that are out of the norm like Nutella and butterscotch. read more

Dirty place, super rude service & yogurt just ok! I just wound go to someplace else. read more

I was excited to find a yogurt shop nearby, but the experience was incredibly off-putting. The decor features a massive, bizarre, and fugly AI-generated political banner and a strange throne. Also, the cashier was eating strong-smelling food at the counter, and there was dog hair everywhere. While the dog was cute, they seemed uncomfy being in such a stuffy environment. I'll be taking my business elsewhere - I prefer my froyo à la carte from bigotry. SAD! read more

1. There were a lot of flavors and topping options! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! 3. There were only indoor seatings available! 4. The staff were friendly and timely with our order! 5. Parking lot is medium size and it can get busy depending on time and day! Note: There are set prices by bowl, but they will charge you double if your order does not fit with the lid on!

lol they got a bigger trump flag best store ever, 10/10 That aside, the yogurt is actually really good, better than the Menchies in Bressi Ranch in my opinion. Location is way more lowkey too, so less children on e-bikes zipping around during dessert time. Gonna be our new go-to, all that considered read more

Really odd and ugly decor behind the cash register, mid yogurt, cute dog. Good service but really freaky AI banner

Been coming to Yogurt Shack for something like 20 years. Have had a gap of several years where I wasn't doing desserts after dinner. But my eldest daughter is pregnant with her second child, and she had the craving. I ran down some for both of us. Now I'm hooked again! read more

Place is unsanitary and they don't seem to care about helping the customers. It is also very politically adorned which has no place in a commercial business with its largest user base being kids. Received a warm and friendly message from the owner. Didn't bother to ask about my experience, just assumed what you would expect. "A+ Rating by the health department. PLEASE tell your friends (if you have any) WE LOVE REVIEWS from sorry ass liberals like yourself... actually helps business.. go figure...normal folks probably just get a kick out of watching your types whine. Anyway clear a path Trump has it from here. You also seem gay not that it matters....just kinda prissy. Mike (Owner)" read more

This is an amazing awsome Establishment the the workers are always super nice here and the food is really good and tasty and feels healthy.

I hate giving this review because we are regulars here and they usually have decent yogurt with friendly workers. Even though they run out of yogurt all the time, we still return. We are loyal! My daughter went in today (discount day) and filled her yogurt cup to the rim. The cashier informed her that it was filled too high and she would need to pay the non-discount price ($3 surcharge). I have no issue with this policy when enforced fairly but this was not the case. First, her yogurt cup was full but not too high. It was still able to accommodate a lid! Second (and the most frustrating part of this) was the biased & arbitrary enforcement. I can't begin to count the number of patrons who overfill their cup to the point where a lid cannot even be close to fitting. I NEVER see them being financially penalized for this. Apparently it is easier to assess a penalty to a young girl vs. an adult. Yogurt Shack- Do better! read more

Found this place randomly while searching online during a recent visit to the area. While the yogurt itself was pretty good, the service was okay but the shop didn't seem super clean (turns out they've had some health code violations in the past). In addition, there were some unruly, ill-mannered kids hanging around the store who cut in front of us as we were trying to put our yogurt cups together (which also sullied the experience, though not the fault of shop owners). However, as far as the ambience is concerned, it was really obnoxious that the store had a massive wall mural that was political in nature, along with some political bumper stickers strewn about. In today's hyper-charged, polarized political environment, the absolute last thing we wanted to do was visit a shop that has its identity wrapped up in divisive, non-inclusive imagery. We'd driven a good distance to get to this shop and didn't want to go looking for another spot once we got there. DEFINITELY won't be going back to this place any time soon...rather support more inclusive-minded businesses who keep their political views to themselves. read more

The yogurt options were great. They have cake batter which is my favorite. They charge by the cup size you use, not weight which is a bonus for people like me who like the heavy toppings like brownies and cheesecake. The only issue here was the place is pretty run down looking and could use a refresh. If you're grabbing Togo you wouldn't mind I suppose, but my family sat there to eat. Slight smell and the tables were all marked up making them look dirty. Mirrors were wiped down but not well so you could see streaks. Overall, I little love given to the decor of the place would make this a 5 star experience. read more

Tables were sticky and dirty. Yogurt was pretty tasty. Toppings were very very minimal but clean. FYI there was a heavy political theme inside. While I respect everyone's right to express their views, it caught me off guard in a dessert shop. Personally, I prefer a more neutral environment where I can just enjoy a treat without thinking about politics. Just something to keep in mind if that matters to you. read more

What a great little place to grab a treat BY THE CUP, not weight. It feels like someone opened it just to give the neighborhood a treat. Not sure how they make money, and it goes against every capitalistic notion in my mind, but what a refreshing place! This is our first time, but we will make sure to be long time customers. Kudos, generous, kind yogurt place owners! read more

We stopped by Yogurt Shack with friends and, as always, had the BEST yogurt--creamy, delicious, and totally crave-worthy! But what made the visit extra sweet was Kenzie! She brought such fun, upbeat energy and made everyone feel welcome. We just had to give a shoutout to this fabulous place and their superstar Kenzie. If you haven't been yet, go treat yourself--you'll leave smiling! read more

Delicious. Ample topping options. Flat fee based on size, not weighed. Very reasonably priced.

This place is THE BEST. We tried another yogurt place and just have been kicking ourselves, because you just cannot beat the value you get here. The Tuesday special, 32oz of yogurt and toppings for less than $5. Insane. This place is a national treasure and should be protected as such. Thank you Original Yogurt Shack. PS: The huge tapestry of Trump on a tank is hilarious and i respect it. Keep it rollin! read more

Stopped in after getting my nails done next door and immediately left. Place was a ghost town. No workers in sight and place seemed dingy and unkempt with an off putting smell. Left and took our money elsewhere. I do not recommend this place Owner responded to my review with a hate filled dm that I've pictured here. Is this the type of business you want to support in our community or allow your family to patronage? You can decide for yourselves read more

Original Yogurt Shack - Nasty response from the owner regarding my review he dm' me since he doesn't have the balls to post his bigotry publicly - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I'm glad I only live 10 short minutes away from this frozen yogurt shop. The flavor options are great, they charge by the cup size and not by weight like the other shops do, toppings (there are many of them) are included in the price and the staff always treats me like a person and not a number. My go-to is the Dole Whip but I've tried other flavors and they're great too. Thanks for giving us a place to go that won't break the bank. You guys ROCK!! read more

I've come here several times a week for the past couple years for "lunch" and so grateful that neither the quality nor price has changed. I mean seriously, $4.75 iit's by size not weight) for great yogurt worth or without toppings can not be found anywhere else. The girls there are super sweet and constantly running back and forth to make sure the yogurt flowing properly and plentifully. Everyone Just needs to play nicely together and enjoy this great yogurt place read more

Smells bad as soon as you walk in. Is full of political stuff everywhere. Reading the other reviews, you can see the owner's responses which are hostile, unfriendly, rude, and aggressive. Should have the sewer lines checked. read more

The yogurt was excellent, atmosphere awesome!! I loved the Trump banner!! I wish people would see how he really wants to do what is best for the people and there is not one selfish bone in his body. read more

Not sure if it's due to the lack of cleanliness or the actual yogurt, but I did get food poisoning an hour after consuming the yogurt, which was average if i'm being generous. Service was also just not up to par, very dismissive employees. Like other reviews mention there is a political element to the store, which might explain my overall experience EDIT: like some other reviews I got a nasty message from the owner, Mike. Clearly he has some issues to resolve in therapy, poor dude :/ read more

Yogurt was great, there was a great selection of flavors, the power of the room was amazing, they really made Yogurt great again! I saw some other reviews and it definitely is a bit crusty but I got marine corps veteran vibes so I loved it read more

Best Froyo in San Diego!! Clean machines and space, great selection of flavors and toppings, fair prices, always very nice employees. read more

It is a great shop, so fun and fresh! The girl that helped us was so sweet and helpful! The displays are so funny and we just love it! We may bring our friend groups for the future! Mike let's go!!! read more

Update: See attached picture. Really bad atmosphere. Lots of MAGA displays assaulting your eyes in every corner. There's a throne in the corner which I sense is for his Holy Impeachnedness' arrival. Not a great place for kids. The poor girl working was watching as a family ran around like a tornado back and forth from table to yogurt station to toppings and then sit without paying. Used to come here all the time as a kid. Every week. Really really really sad and disturbing to see. read more

Gross. This place is so dirty. Flies circling the small table of minimal toppings that looked like a basement church social. Disgusting. read more

Family and I love this small business, and have come for years. We love the service and quality of the yogurt. The staff are always welcoming and attentive, specially Mike.l and is always a pleasure to chat with. While the shop displays a political flag, I want to say that this didn't affect my experience at all. I come here for great service and delicious yogurt and that's exactly what I get every time. It's refreshing to see a place where the focus remains on delivering quality, regardless of political differences. If you're looking for a local gem with excellent service and delicious froyo, I highly recommend checking this place out. It's well worth a visit! read more

5 stars for the trump flag! affordable price yogurt will amazing taste. Lots of toppings to choose from . Will be back. read more

Tried this place by accident. My family and I came from San Jose and wanted to have Chinese for lunch. We ate at Chin's next door and it was delicious. My children wanted some dessert and voila! Location is conveniently located next to Chin's Gourmet. Customer service here is amazing and they charge by the cup and not by weight which some yogurt places do. My children enjoyed their yogurt and they have a large red chair that you can take photo and made you feel like royalty! Definitely recommended this place! read more

This place was filthy when we came and I could see what appeared to be mold on one of the yogurt taps. Also, compared to golden spoon or other options, the yogurt is not nearly as good. read more

Love love love this place!!! Make America GREAT again!!!! Jesus CHRIST is KING‼‼‼ I pray the lord continues to bless your business! read more

Used to love this place but it's gone downhill. Was really shocked at the state it was in when I walked in this afternoon. Overrun with people and the high-school aged staff don't care at all about maintaining the toppings or cleaning up the mess. Disgusting. read more

Cheap and decent yogurt but very uncomfortable atmosphere. Ignoring the decoration, which I think a lot of reviews have described. While eating, had to listen to the owner and employee talk loudly about trans children in a very negative manner. Then to hear a loud yelp from the shop dog... definitely not something you want to be around, let alone while getting froyo.. In short, the food is fine and well-priced but not a welcoming place unless you have the same political ideologies. Not someplace I would go again or take my children. read more

I never leave reviews but feel inclined to do so. I am unclear as to what such an aggressive banner of Trump has to do with frozen yogurt. I am not sure how such a business would blast their political beliefs all over the store. Was there this week and won't be back again. Place also seemed extremely dirty and unkept. The young employee here did a great job managing absolute chaos during back to school time, but should have had more people there to support them. Maybe if they spent more time cleaning and managing and less time with obnoxious decor it would be better. read more

By far the very best yogurt ! Favorite for my entire family :) Best price, quality and taste. Business is extremely clean with friendly employees. They have a loyalty program for customers to earn free yogurt !!!! You will not be disappointed !! read more
