Usually we love Yogurt Mill and we've come for several years, happily waiting in line. Tonight as we waited in line the smell of rotting garbage, vomit, and sour yogurt was so offensive that we could not wait in line. I don't know if they need to hose it down outside once in a while or change their overflowing trash cans way more often, but until they do, we're out! Ps we weren't the only ones commenting and leaving. read more

My most favorite frozen yogurt place! I have been going here for years & it only gets better. Great staff, great flavors, great toppings... just don't forget your coupon & cash :) read more

Went on a very hot day becaause my pregnant wife was craving something cold. We drove 20 minutes out of our way to go to this specific yogurt place. When we get there the place does not accept debit or credit. What!? What century is this!? So I pull out all my cash and my wife finds an online coupon only to find out that they won't accept the coupon unless you printed it out before you came. It's here where I would like to say that the staff was friendly and apologetic and understanding. But they weren't. They were very matter of fact about their rules and didn't seem to care that we were leaving without buying anything. So only one star for the yogurt mill. We will never return and we will encourage others to take their business elsewhere. Thus is no way to run a business in 2014. If you yearn to return to the mid 90s when you had to pay ATM fees just to be able to go buy ice cream, and you had to print out coupons or clip them from the newspaper, then this just might be the place for you. read more

Two words: PEANUT BUTTER. I'm an ice cream lover, but I will take peanut butter froyo from Yogurt Mill any day! They have different flavors they put out and a large display of toppings just like any other yogurt shop. Oh, but they do it for you and mix everything in without creating a disaster. I have memories of coming here as a child with my grandparents. Ask them to drop your yogurt for less sloppy eating results in your car. The line can be pretty nasty, but just bring a friend and never been in a hurry to grab & go. read more

This is the only place I will go for yogurt. Do not waste your time with expensive Golden Spoon when you can enjoy the amazing flavor and great prices of the Yogurt Mill read more

Wondering why I took a 35 year break from this place. I've lived within 1 1/2 hours from here all this time. I didn't even think it would still be open. Great yogurt, good selection of flavors and toppings top, middle and bottom of the cup. 'Child' size feeds 2+ people. We got it 'dropped' into a larger cup (they top it off) so then it was ridiculously large. I found an online 2 for 1 but they wouldn't take it because it wasn't printed!?! Oh well. Still was a nice surprise coming here. Had great memories going here jr high through high school. It's just as good as I remembered! read more

It took me a long time to get to this place, but alas I finally made it one year later. Really long lines kind of deterred me at first, but I'm so glad that I got to try it. I'm a vanilla kind of gal, so all the topping choices and flavors overwhelmed me. I ended up just going with a small (which isn't small at all) vanilla and cream chocolate swirl and was thoroughly happy. They are fairly inexpensive, especially for the amount of yogurt that you get. I think I saw a lady walk out with a wheel barrow full of frozen yogurt!! Bring cash because they don't accept cards/checks. read more

Last week some gals from work stopped by the Yogurt Mill and brought us all back some to share. I tried the chocolate which was smooth and not too sweet, but just perfect. It hit the spot. One the of the girls had gotten Red Velvet Cake which I keep calling to see if they've made because it looked so yummy. Today it was hot out in East County so I stopped by and treated myself to a peanut butter frozen yogurt shake with hot fudge and crumbled peanut butter cups. It only cost $5 (cash only) and was delicious! It completely hit the spot. The line/wait was only five minutes and the staff were friendly. I'm still waiting for the Red Velvet Cake yogurt and when they stock it... I'll be back! read more

Let's start this off by replying to the many reviews that call this place less desirable due to the location. Is El Cajon, on Broadway, my favorite place? No. Do I want to live next door to the Yogurt Mill? Not really. Does it make any difference to me? No. If you're going to be "open minded" enough to praise locations in North Park, City Heights, Barrio Logan, National City, to name a few, then why is a location in El Cajon so blasphemous? Is it because it's in a conservative area? Is it because it's "all they way out east"? Or is it because you praise everything that isn't Americana? If the yogurt mill is too far away for you, perhaps you should stop by the 100's of yogurt shops your driving through to get there. That's why I don't party in PB, or drive to La Jolla for a burger. As for the actual place. It's wonderful! The biggest yogurts you can dream of, for very little dough. In fact, there are a few different medias you can get a buy-one get-one-free coupon, including www.adpark.com Get the child dropped, along with one for the special someone you're with, and you're spending less than $4. The flavors are very good, in particular, the strawberry-chocolate combo. I'm not much of a toppings guy, so I don't have any complaints about the lack of them (if there is a lack of them). The lines get long on the weekend because it's a staple of E. County. read more

Pros: Best-priced yogurt in town with generous portions (get a lid because you'll be taking some home), weekly coup in the pennysaver, and they post their flavors daily on FB. All flavors have been dlish...where you at Cake Batter? Cons: Cash only. Kids running the place are pretty young and not always happy to be there, door typically is out the door and around the corner, parking is ample but the entrance/exit sucks and it's in El Cajon....well a part of El Cajon I'm not a huge fan of. Was there the other night when the line was out the door and a woman with WAY to much purfume and WAY too tight pants walked right to the front of the line as if she was meeting people inside, got her Froyo with all her coups but not before her two rowdy kids knocked a freaking table over and were screaming at each other. Tip: Get your froyo and go eat in your car. read more

I would say that they're so-so. Their yogurt is definitely not the best.. In my opinion, the golden spoon completely blows the yogurt mill out of the water unfortunately when it comes to taste. The only thing the yogurt mill has going for them is the size of their yogurt servings. You get more bang for your buck.. Just not quality flavors. Oh, they also accept coupons from other yogurt stores but they have a lot of rules of what coupons they'll use. They're also CASH-ONLY. So if you don't have cash then don't bother going. Also be prepared to stand in a insanely long line, especially in summer, just to order! read more

The yogurt mill is probably the best frozen yogurt in san diego.. Atleast I don't know of a place better. They have a large selection of yogurts that change every so often and the prices are pretty good. Only reason I didn't give them a 5 star is because A.) they're cash only (major inconvenience if you have to stop at an atm), and B.) The line gets out of control. Sometimes up to a 30 min wait. Other than that they're great. read more

I am in love with this place. Not only are the portions huge and extremely cheap, but the froyo is very tasty. You can even find a coupon for a buy one child's size get one for free from the PennySaver (I think that's where it is from, I just google it). And the name of this size is decieving since it is more like a pint of froyo. The have standard flavors like chocolate, vanilla, peanut butter and strawberry which are always on the menu and then about 3 special flavors that they rotate, you can view them on their FaceBook page. Those are the ones I usually make the trip out there for. Caramel Dream is my favorite it is rich and creamy and just delicious. They allow you to put up to 3 flavors in your cup and sample as much as you would like. It is a bunch of teenagers which run the place and have heard that they aren't happy with their jobs but I have never personally experienced that. They are always friendly and accomodating to me. There are a few cons to this place but obviously not worthy enough for me to remove a star. This place is cash only. They use styrofoam, which I despise for its texture and of course what it does to the environment. The line can be extremely long at times. It needs to be closer to my house, yet I still make the 20+ mile trek there at least once a month. read more

Visiting family on the 4th of July, My cousin was craving Frozen yogurt and so now my daughter is too! They said we have the best place in town! Well waiting in the short line that was out the door, they said it is a short line! Had the best yogurt ever, we'll the captain crunch & peanut butter cups thru out the whole yogurt made it sooo good! I wanna say more better, but can't! Oh and don't forget to say "drop it" yeah my cousin's had to remind me. So "drop it" and you will not be disappointed! I ordered the child's cup that was huge! I finished the whole thing, but the bad part! I wasn't hungry for the BBQ we had that night! Cuz the child size yogurt was so big! and I was so full, it was a meal in a cup! I will go back on the next visit! read more

Great yogurt, nice size, good price. Line can be crazy long during the summer evening. Also the flavors vary day to day and they post the list on facebook daily. read more

Talk about insane amount of good yogurt, Drop it in a bigger cup for full size capacity, you will have to take it home and freeze it for smoothies if you get the large. A junior is big enough for one helping. I love just the choc and straw, nothing special but my favorite yogurt place ever. (the one in La Mesa is normal size) read more

More of an east county tradition than anything else. They have gotten a little expensive over the years but still fun to stand in line with the kids and get a frogo dropped. Great tasty Frozen Yogurt read more

Forgot how good this place was; I haven't been here since freshman year at SDSU! Now, I work down the street and can come here everyday if I wanted to! The yogurt here is so creamy and smooth, not watered down like Yogurtland on Convoy. They don't have as much of a variety of toppings, but I usually get my yogurt plain anyhow. Customer service was OK, I was helped pretty quick, considering there was no line (like there usually is), and the yogurt is pricy, but the helpings are huge. I got a child's size, dropped into a larger cup, and it's twice the amount of the cup shown! But so delicious! =) read more

This place is great! Best frozen yogurt anywhere and the price is really reasonable.

I love this place. Their yogurt is delicious and they have a great selection of flavors. They even have nonfat flavors for people who are trying to keep it on the healthier side. Also for the amount of yogurt you get, it's not a bad deal. read more

Just like everyone else is saying LARGE PORTIONS!! Great value for your buck, tasty flavors, long line. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place... I honestly dont understand why there are lines halfway around the building ALL the time...Lets be honest, frozen yogurt is frozen yogurt... I think its kinda the "cool" place to go to for frozen yogurt in el cajon... aside from my personal struggles with the apparent "trendiness" of this spot.. the yogurt is good and they give huge portions... hype hype hype! i dont get it... its good yogurt tho... read more

Every time we go out for fro yo I compare my yogurt to Yogurt Mill... Yogurt Mill always wins!! I live nowhere close to San Diego so its a treat for me to get myself some Yogurt from here! We've even tried to bring it home and freeze it... which does not work! I love the locals only vibe and the yogurt is to die for!!! It doesn't even taste like yogurt... it's like soft serve ice cream! I'm addicted! They make all their own flavors and they are always changing! Hands down my favorite frozen yogurt, even if I only come here a couple times a year! read more

The frozen yogurt is very good but the employees are careless. One of them had the flu and sneezed near the toppings. He grabbed a napkin to wipe his sneeze off of his sleeve and continued to serve us. He didn't even care to wash his hands or put on hand sanitizer. I got the oreo topping and it's very low in quality. It costed me $2 for some cheap 99 cent toppings. I might as well have put my own toppings on my yogurt. read more

I was waiting in line for a long time, and I got nasty ass Tart. Other flavors aren't not that good at all. I recommend drive to Yogurt Express. read more

The Yogurt Mill...the yogurt mill... I was introduced to this place a few years back and I must admit it is pretty good stuff for your buck...If all you want to take in to account is the price and the size and the strawberry flavor. The portions are huge, cheap...and I would have to say the only great flavor is Strawberry....I've tasted other ones that taste like rubber (I think it was some blueberry or something or other nutrasweet thing.) This place is super far, all the way in El Cajon...and I only drive there if I have that Strawberry craving and I'm willing to put up with super unfriendly employees on that day. I understand that it is busy, sometimes they get rude customers, but if you are going to take it out on others...why even work there? Their customer service stinks...and not to mention it is not very gay-friendly there... Five stars for the strawberry flavor and the price...but mostly 2 stars for customer service. read more

This place is cool. Nothing super special about it though. They have delicious frozen yogurt with huge sizes. Great prices and tons of different things to add in your frozen yogurt from oreos to gummy bears. It is much like coldstone but cheaper and a lot better! If you are ever in the area you gotta check it out. The reason I tried it out was because when ever I would drive by I would always see a huge line and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Plus it is a unique shaped building like a mill. Go figure! You have to bring cash because they do not accept cards so be prepared! read more

This place is a hidden gem. Delicious froyo with ginormous portions! My first time today and definitely won't be my last. Always busy because it simply is the best with great prices. I believe it's cash only and coupons can be printed online(: read more

Yogurt Mill - This is a child size! More than enough for two people each! We got graham pie and pistachio with cheesecake pieces:P - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - El Cajon, California

They always have yummy flavors and I've never been disappointed when coming here. Only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because the line is always ridiculously long. Otherwise, great yogurt shop! read more

Yogurt Mill - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - El Cajon, California

LOVE IT! Check their facebook page for their daily flavors, always have the basics. The lines can get long in the summer, but they move quickly. Great selection of flavors & toppings. Friendly staff. Bring cash-no credit cards. read more

The yogurt mill is a staple of E. County. Small and intimate. I haven't tried many ice cream/yogurt shops in San Diego, but none that I've tried compares to the Yogurt Mill. If they had mix-ins instead of toppings, it would be 5 stars! The portions are huge and they're all delicious! My fave combo is Peanut Butter/Chocolate/Vanilla. Tip: Ask for your combination "Child-Dropped" for the best value...it's more than enough. read more

Long time favorite. With all these new yogurt-fad places, nothing tops Yogurt Mill. read more

Geez louis! COCONUT FLAVOR hands up and down! My sister use to live in La Mesa and I told her that I just moved and I'm around the area and she suggested to check this place out. I thought she was over exaggerating. Mentioned it to my boyfriend who was raised here in San Diego county and he said he knew the place. With my curiosity and a hot weather combined, I decided to invite him for an afternoon treat. I tried the flavor my sister told me to get with an addition of sliced almond(no salt added) and I will forever only choose this flavor. My boyfriend picked other flavors but we both agreed COCONUT is the winner. The sizes are very generous. The first time I ordered I got a child size. Thought I could finish it but ended up taking it home. Second time i went for a baby. read more

Just awesome. Good ol' fashoin yogurt shop. None of this DYI or frutti tutti or whatever. Just yogurt and handful of toppings. A+ read more

Usually this place is pretty great. The line sometimes is super long but the yogurt is worth it and they accept CASH ONLY! Last night and today my experience wasn't so great... So last night I goto yogurt mill, I order strawberry and chocolate with cheesecake bites and rainbow sprinkles, I get to my destination...its strawberry only, BOO! Today my boss was running errands and asked if she could stop and get me what I didn't get last night. Same thing, strawberry and chocolate with cheesecake bites and sprinkles. She comes back and it's the same damn thing from last night!!! Only strawberry! I called to complain and they're sending me a gift certificate, that's lovely but I still don't have any chocolate! I do applaud how it was handled and am being sent something so I can hopefully get my correct order next time!!! read more

My second best place to go for frozen yogurt, the prices are reasonable and you get the best bang for your buck. I love how they update their menu daily and post it up on Instagram, which I suggest y'all follow them. Also great customer service and friendly staff! read more

This casual area favorite is a nice treat! Large portions and the pricing is fair. Flavors change daily so check out their Facebook page for the offerings. Lines can be long but I typically go during lunch time - not too bad at that time. Just remember they only take CASH. read more

Theres a reason why they ALWAYS have a line out the door! their yogurt ice cream is delicious! the best in the area and arguably anywhere. great tasting and BIG portions. a child size is huge so order carefully. great customer service as well. 5 stars all the way! read more

Great yogurt. I loved their peanut butter and vanilla flavors. I heard a customer order a "child drop". I shared it with my husband because it was so much. We did not even finish it because it was so much. Anyway, the price was good $3.70, I think. They could clean the place a bit more. The tables were not clean enough. read more

Yogurt Mill is a staple for my family and me, and also El Cajon. The lines can get a bit long, but if you grew up/ went to high school in the area, more than likely you'll run into someone you know. If you didn't, you'll enjoy the entertainment of people watching these straaangee people... ;) The sizes are ridiculous for the price, and if you go online they have a 2 for 1 coupon. Definitely a tasty treat after dinner... and something to go in the freezer for the next few days! read more
