    French vanilla + cheesecake bites
    Billy P.

    The workers are nice, the portions are big (which makes the price feel fair), but the yogurt itself is nothing special. Solid 7.5/10

    It's a bit overhyped (in my opinion) and out of the way (if you're staying in San Diego) but I had to try. If the line is long, it moves somewhat fast. Also, the portions are huge. I got the smallest size and couldn't even make a dent on it. But if you take it home, it freezes pretty well. The flavors are okay. I think vanilla is the best one. Peanut butter is pretty good too. Some of the flavors change so check their instagram for the flavors of the day. Cash only.

    Went mid day on a weekday and there was a minimal wait. Cash only which we prepared for. What we didn't prepare for was that coupons are printed only (can't show on phone). The portions were extremely generous. We didn't get any toppings, but we got three flavors. The dole whip was delicious. I wish I would've gotten that flavor for the whole yogurt. The vanilla was also very good it had a mild flavor that was enjoyable. The coconut was good, but had a very artificial flavor that I could've done without. Overall I'd return again but skip the coconut flavor. Also was interesting to see them use styrofoam. Lasted our whole drive home but didn't think it was available in CA.

    Went during the Memorial Day Holiday and although there was a long line, it moved pretty smoothly! First time the family came here. There is/was a Yogurt Mill in La Mesa on La Mesa Blvd which seemed to have closed during the great Pandemic of 2020. This place is the real OG and the hype seems to have been going on since we moved from the Bay Area in 2017. Yogurt is so good with layered toppings (rainbow sprinkles for the win). I got child yellow cake/coconut and my wife got a baby peanut butter, vanilla, coconut w/ nuts. We'll come here again to try all the other flavors too!

    Finally came to check out the hype. Luckily the line wasn't too bad when we came around 2:30 pm on a Saturday and we ordered within 10 mins. The line did get pretty long as we ate. Their sizes are huge and prices are reasonable; we got two baby sizes for $11. We got the strawberry and vanilla with Oreo pieces and graham crackers and the chocolate and vanilla swirl with peanut m&ms. The frozen yogurt was tasty, thick, creamy and not overly sweet but nothing special. I enjoyed vanilla the most as strawberry was a little tart. Very generous amount and lots of flavors and toppings to choose from. Service was friendly and let us sample some flavors. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back or wait in line for a long time, but might stop by if I'm in the area.

    Been seeing this place go viral and made the drive over. Came around 2:30PM Saturday and luckily there was barely a line! We were in and out within 10 minutes, but as we ate, the line went into the parking lot. The size is very generous and reasonably priced; we got two baby sizes for $11! Ordered the chocolate & vanilla swirl with peanut m&ms, and strawberry & vanilla with oreos and graham crackers. I liked the amount and variety of toppings. The frozen yogurt wasn't really anything special, but still tasty and creamy. Vanilla was my favorite. Parking was easy and service was friendly. I don't think I'd go out of my way to come back, but would definitely stop by again if I'm in the area! And with a printed coupon next time!

    Wanted to wait for the hype to die down before coming. Hype is still very much there, but would suggest to avoid the evening rush. This place is cash only. They give monstrous portions and the flavors are really good. I'm not sure if I would drive all the way out again for this but it was a cool experience!

    This spot is always cracking! Line was not too long, stood there 20 min max. The yogurt was incredible. We got junior size which allows you to have 4 flavors. We got peanut butter, mango dole, cake batter, and strawberry. They also change their top 2 flavors and bottom three everyday! Pro tip print print out coupon online. They only accept print out, and they ONLY TAKE CASH! Plenty of parking great service great yogurt

    Yogurt Mill lives up to the hype. I got the peanut butter froyo in the second largest size, and chose crushed peanut butter cups and cheesecake bites for the toppings. One thing that really sets Yogurt Mill apart is how they layer the toppings throughout (top, middle, and bottom) so you're not stuck with just froyo halfway through. Every bite is just as good as the first, which I seriously appreciate. Another unexpected bonus is that it freezes incredibly well. My husband and I actually ate it in several sittings since the portion is so huge. Even after being frozen, it still tasted almost as good as the day we got it. Some tips: definitely ask for your yogurt "dropped" and don't forget to bring cash since it's cash only. Love this place and already craving my next visit.

    Long line was 40 min wait but felt shorter. Cheap for such largeeee cups but they get you w the $2.50 per topping. cash only! Print out coupons only! With BOGO $8.50, got child size half French vanilla half chocolate + banana + heath toffee (8/10)

    Cash only!

    For a few years now, I've passed the yogurt mill with curiosity. There's always a very long line there. We tried to go at night, but the line was wrapped almost entirely around the strip mall. And then, add a yelp event. Someone mentioned that they will drive out of their way to go to the yogurt milll. So needless to say, I had to try it out. I thought that in the middle of a Sunday afternoon, it would be no problem. The line was shorter and it moved relatively quickly. The first thing you notice is how large the portion sizes are. So kudos on that especially in the day and age of price gouging. Staff was friendly, and I tried a sample of the tart lemonade. It was OK, but I decided to go with peanut butter and chocolate. Added turtle and mixed nuts. Perhaps I'm just not a yogurt, aficionado. The ones I've had in the past seemed to have much more flavor. Honestly, their peanut butter tasted like vanilla. And I think perhaps they need a new vendor for their turtle chocolate as it was waxy. In all, it's a good value for the quantity but not so much for the quality for me. Having said that there is always a very long line there so there must be something I'm missing. Give it a try and see what you think. Oh, and the only accept cash.

    Yogurt Mill is quite simply the best frozen yogurt I've ever had. It is worth the drive to El Cajon and worth the long wait. The toppings are to die for with incredible "density" so no but is without a topping. We got the peanut butter cup which had cheesecake bites and Reese's cups. This joint is cash only. Would be wonderful if they opened another location in central SD or North county so I could visit more often!

    Yogurt Mill was soOoOoo worth it The portions are HUGE for such a reasonable price! Service was quick & super friendly, they gave great flavor recs. Their shop is shaped like an actual mill! Some, not many tables inside. We tried the strawberry, cake batter, vanilla, & dole whip All delicious & not overly sweet since it's base is yogurt?? Pls open one up in OC

Why have a "loyalty program" when they add points then reverse it later that same day. I went today and ordered my usual 2 burgers, fries and drinks. I gave my phone number for the Points. I then asked Vieann H (who identified herself as the manager) when I showed her my receipt from last time I visited and questioned why they reversed the previous points and why I got none from this receipt I produced. She tried to act like it was my fault I received no points and couldn't tell me why the points were reversed from the previous visit (even after she went back in the office to do the research. She told me when came back from the office, she could see all my order history but she couldn't give me back any points from my 2 previous visits. I told her this will be the last time I come and she is losing a customer over 29 points. SHE COULD CARE LESS. Her response to this was "I went in the back to do research". Beware! They don't even deserve the 1 Star I had to give them.
