New to Lyndhurst Road is four week old gelato and coffee parlour, Melt…read more The gelato is homemade by a local Italian man in Bournemouth. It offers flavours such as creme caramel, banoffee pie, cherry amaretto, peanut butter, strawberry yogurt, cookies and cream, crunchie just to name a few, as well as the usual favourites. You would never guess that the space use to be a old toilet block, which remained derelict for the past 7 years, before new business owners Mandeep and Jagbir Sidhu took it on. They worked hard to gutt, remodeland transform it into the bright, clean, open plan space it is now. There is comfy indoor seating as well as outdoor, with umbrellas and sandwiches for the winter period coming soon. Melt is perfect icecream parlour for every age. However if gelato is not your go, they also offer freshly ground, creamy coffee, decadent sundaes, waffles and other daily bakes. This place is growing day by day and is definitely a place to keep your eye on!

I was quite disappointed with my trip to Yogo. I am a sucker for any healthy, juicy, smoothie kind…read moreof place where I can create a weird and wonderful concoction, so I was excited when I walked into Yogo, which opened up in Kingston a few months ago. The premise is simple, a place which serves fat free frozen yogurt, and an optional topping of your choice. I had just returned from LA, where I had been introduced to the famous Pinkberry store, which operates on the same principal. I had loved what I had ordered there, and found it very good value for money. I had hoped for the same thing with Yogo, so ordered a small pot with an extra topping. This came to £3.00! the small serving is extremely small, and there was not a huge choice of toppings - about 15 or 16 different types of fruit and a few sweet things like granola, mixed nuts and coconut shavings. It just seems so expensive for something so small. a large serving with a couple of toppings will bring it up to about £5.00. Who can afford to spend this much on frozen yogurt? I went off feeling a bit short changed. I still had my pot when I walked into the health food store around the corner, and the guy behind the till asked my opinion of the place. I told him my gripe, and he said that a lot of people have made the similar complaint - that it is just too expensive. The fact that this place seems quiet when I have gone past echos this; I hope that the prices can be amended, because in principle it is a good, and healthy idea.

Hooray! the weather is smiling, you're out-and-about and craving a healthy snack Yogo recently…read moreopened their first UK branch in Kingston; inspired by images of Paris Hilton in LA, eating frozen yogurt topped with fruit, they spotted a gap in the market. When I first saw their logo and chanced upon this place I thought it was a new yoga venue with a 'clever' name Since my first visit and having discovered more I'm not sure the Paris link is a major selling point but I am a fan of frozen yogurt and theirs professes to be organic and pro-biotic, with just 94 calories in a 100g portion. It's refreshing on a summer's day and a healthier alternative to traditional ice-cream; try it au naturel or go further and up-the-taste by adding a virtuous fresh fruit topping (berry, banana, kiwi or mango), if you're in an indulgent mood add-in chocolate chips, coconut, granola or mixed nuts. (The basic product tastes just like what it is - frozen natural yogurt without a huge amount of flavour.) Then again, you could simply come in here for an organic Fair Trade tea or a reviving Brazilian guarana-fruit bar. It's not the cheapest snack option around (a small portion starts at £1.85) but if you're looking for something cool, healthy and satisfying, it fits the bill in a relatively guilt-free way. You can take a break from your shopping exertions or riverside wandering and eat-in here at one of the simple white table settings or just purchase to-go. Staff are enthusiastic, helpful, patient and happy to offer suggestions or wait while you make your choice. I guess it will be the first in a line of several branches.

I've been here 3 times and I cannot say it was disappointing. The staff are all so nice and the…read moredrinks are great!! Not everyone will like everything so you have to go there at least twice to know what you like. My friends didn't like their drink the first time that they went but when I went with them they chose a different one and it was a game changer. I had mango fruit tea with blueberry juice balls. Also, they do seasonal drinks so I can't wait to go there at Halloween! 10/10, 5 stars. Definitely one of the places you should go to before you die. Note: you should choose what you want before you go in because there will be a queue of people waiting and the staff need to have a fast moving line. +expect to wait 5-10 mins for your drink or food, maybe 15 on a busy day max because they make everything fresh and always have a lot of orders!!

Super impressed with this place…read more The main things I enjoyed about it was the ease of variety, and how they've used their space. The menu is broad without being complicated, messy, or overwhelming. Everything is really well organised and they've done a great job of advertising their range of products. Bubble tea is their staple seller but they also offer frozen yogurt with a choice of chocolatey/sweety and fruity toppings, and tear and share waffles. Savoury stuff is available too! You'll find Ramen noodles and Gyoza dumplings on he menu if the sweet stuff isn't quite doing it for you. This time, I opted for a pear green tea with mixed blueberry and cherry bubbles. Never tried the pear before and it was lovely. Slightly sweeter and a little more artificial tasting than I'm used to, though. Like I said, I really enjoy how they've used the space. The unit is really long, kind of white washed throughout including the wooden floorboards which gives it a mega bright and spacious feel and there's ample and varied seating before and after the serving counter. I feel like they've made the space really interactive which is great! Even though I was kinda in a rush, Yobu makes you take the time to appreciate it. There's a little wall of fame/fandom dedicated to its customers, a book case, some cute trinkets dotted around, and leaflets about the local area. I'd love to go back if I'm around B'mouth again! Frozen yogurt next time!

It is in a group of kiosks which is usually crawling with people, so we go to other places for ice cream, or take it from our own freezer! Not bad though. Pretty good.
