And it shouldn't be possible for such a business to be as dark, dank and cluttered as was the Grossmont Shopping Center outlet of Cold Stone Creamery.

First off I couldn't believe how inexpensive your yogurt is. This is even with the candy bar crunches that weigh your yogurt down another %. I love the fact that students receive an additional 25%. Now on to your flavours, I was watching my waistline recently and noticed that your Wow-Cow has about 40 calories/serving. I would have never known it was sugar free if it hadn't been for the posting above the flavour. Now that I am back in business and eating big I love the Angel Food Cake as well as Snickers and Ghiardelli chocolate. The thing here is all your flavours are better than frozen yogurt. I just wish I knew the extra additive that is mixed in to make it so good. I also love the fact that Yogurt Express is also no-nonsense. I downloaded my own yogurt so easily so I didn't have to worry about someone doing it for me. This also worked well for sampling because I could go at my own pace and try all eight. Oh, by the way sorry Yogurt Express for looking like such a pig, however, I did end up buying 7 mediums with topping. Yogurt Express you added a little kick to my walk as I exited your place. Thank you for being so nice, clean and welcoming and I will always be returning. read more

My dad owns the place which is pretty cool and all, but I'm on a diet and I can only get yogurt once a week :( I've gotten the same yogurt flavor with the same toppings all my life, and I've never gotten bored! And that smooth criminal that is my father ran 2 businesses backed up by corporate companies out of business! Take that, yogurtland (not to brag, but we also got awarded best dessert in La Mesa TWICE!) we're practically invincible!
