Love this place. Especially bc there's not a Goodberry's in Chapel Hill (it's the next best ice cream). Delicious frozen yogurt, almost tastes like frozen custard. I love that they add the toppings in the middle so they aren't falling off when you try to eat your ice cream! read more

Went to this froyo spot after lunch and it did not disappoint! They had a good variety of fun flavors and the two I got were so creamy, decadent, thick, and perfectly sweet I've never had frozen yogurt that was this similar to soft serve ice cream! Maybe it's even better! The toppings were your basic store bought toppings so I assume with this shop it's mostly about the actually froyo. read more

If you look up hidden gem in the dictionary, you'll find this place. I was impressed with the quality, the portion size, and the price. I'm actually amazed that the Ben & Jerry's around the corner is still in business. They're charging twice as much and you're getting half as much as you'd get at Yogurt Pump. read more

Yogurt Pump - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

We went on a Friday night and honestly I guess that was the mistake. We waited in line for like 15 to 20minutes and honestly, it was pretty disappointed with the lack of variety of flavors. They had a grand total of like 6 that I could see on the machines. On top of that the smallest size was almost 5 dollars. Overall, the chocolate one was good, but it was just as good as chocolate ice cream you'd get at a tub at the store. Personally, I probably wouldn't be back just because there are so many other options for frozen treats without the wait and better quantity for price. They had a cute ambience and it was pretty clean- I think it's just a little bit overrated like most of the old places have become hallmarks of Chapel Hill Franklin st. Just because it's old doesn't mean it's that great in my opinion. I will say I do want to give them credit that they always have coupons and sales going on which I do think that that is a great way to bring in business. read more

Yogurt Pump - Vanilla yogurt and peanut butter/oreo yogurt - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

It's a small shop hidden in an alley, but with the number of people coming in and out of the store, it is not hard to spot. They had some 6 flavours, that I really liked, we could taste a few before making our decision. We chose to get two flavours - cheesecake and raspberry pomegranate. It was mix of sweet and tart and I really enjoyed the combination. The guy behind the counter was also sweet and helpful. In all, if you're in the area and craving some FroYo, this is a great spot to visit. read more

This is a one of a kind hole in a wall place for sure! I have never seen a place serve fro-yo the way these guys do. You get to pick a cup size, then pick how many flavors you want in it and then choose some toppings. The server fills the cup for you so you dont pay by weight, instead they habe fixed prizes by cup/flavours/toppings. We chose to get cheesecake and strawberry with no toppings and loved it. We got the medium and was sufficient to satiate our sweet tooth without being too heavy. The server was very kind and heled us in deciding what we wanted and narrow down our choices. It is a typical college restaurant with just food that matters! read more

Best dessert place on Franklin St! Each time I visit there's a new assortment of unique flavours, such as pumpkin pie, peanut butter, peach cobbler- as well as your classic flavors too. They'll also have special deals every Wednesday! read more

It was a nice frozen yogurt spot. I only wanted one topping but the price was the same for 1-3, so no thanks. Got the cookies and cream it was good. The server was nice. I like the decorations inside. Go try them. read more

Lovely lady working the shop on her own. Engaging and friendly. The ice cream was delicious and toppings generous. The 80s pins on the wall were a fun nostalgia trip. Would gladly return read more

This is when Yelp is a HUGE help while traveling out of town. Thanks to the Yelp community this gem was found as well as a multitude of places along the Franklin strip in ChapelHill. We stopped in here after a long day at soccer camp. They have plenty of flavors and gluten free options labeled. This is a must stop if you love ice cream! read more

This family owned business was such a sweet treat! It's very tucked away right off of the Main Street. I was so excited when they had one non-dairy vegan option Blueberry popsicle. And it was amazing! The flavors change often. The homemade waffle cone was equally impressive, delicious! The prices were inexpensive and staff was friendly! I would definitely recommend this place. I may go back before I leave. read more

Can't go wrong, I've come here once and got vanilla with chocolate sprinkles. Service is quick, and it's a cute joint with good frozen yogurt! Inside was clean, it's not large inside but there's no need for it to be. There's a couple places to sit outdoors as well. read more

Really tasty yogurt with fresh fruit options. Fast and friendly staff. Easy to find with good signage.

Delicious frozen yogurt! Always nice to have a sweet treat once in a while. They have creative flavors and a nice staff! Only downside was that we came at like 8 pm with a group of people and got verbally mauled by a homeless man. It was scary but the police were called. read more

Yogurt Pump (aka YoPo) is a Tar Heel tradition! This is not a self serve/pay by weight yogurt and toppings place, FYI. I chose the vanilla base and added strawberries and cheesecake bites. They had a solid selection of toppings, along with I believe 8 frozen yogurt base options. The guy taking orders was nice and friendly. My only complaint about YoPo.... I wish they would layer the toppings! I got a medium and the bottom 3/4 of my yogurt didn't have any toppings. Thankfully it was still delicious on its own, but I think layering the toppings would for sure take this to 5 stars! read more

Glad we had a chance to visit on a recent vacation to Chapel Hill. Seems like a local institution. Our group shared the oreo, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and cookie dough flavors. All were very tasty, and we'd definitely go again on a future trip. The toppings we tried all tasted really fresh. One thing to note is that it's more like soft serve, at least compared to frozen yogurt we're used to in California, which tends to be less sweet, more tart and yogurty. But a lovely treat nonetheless! Also note that it's not a self-serve place. read more

The only small business dessert spot on Franklin and always my go to. The cookie dough topping is my favorite

Yogurt Pump has made me realize that I probably won't be going to any other froyo place. Normally, I'd choose ice cream or gelato over froyo, because a lot of chain froyo places serve very icy, watery froyo. Not the case with Yogurt Pump. Their yogurt is so creamy, that it almost tastes like gelato. The servers are also super nice about letting you sample all the different flavors before ringing you up. I got the cheesecake flavor my first time coming here, and I was blown away with how light and flavorful it was. The small size was just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth without making me super groggy or heavy from all the sugar. I love/hate that it's local to North Carolina. The place has a cute hole-in-the-wall charm; unfortunately, that means I won't be able to get more froyo unless I'm visiting my friend in NC. Nevertheless, this is a place is a must-visit, especially if you're walking through UNC Chapel Hill's campus. read more

The have some pretty good frozen yogurt here. We've been a few times and always enjoyed our sweet treat, but never loved it or been blown away. Our favorite is the peanut butter yogurt with Oreo yogurt swirled together- a surprisingly delightful combo. Can get a little spendy with topping especially so it's best to share. read more

One of my favorite places for a delicious treat! The yogurt is always so good and prices are excellent! The service is always swift, thoughtful and kind. YOPO is a Chapel Hill gem that transports me back to the college years every time! read more

YoPo is Great! The yogurt is Yummy AND fairly low in sugar and calories. I take my son here for a healthy treat after school once a week. They have a good variety of flavors and a few are changed out each week, so its not always the same flavors. The owner is very nice, fun to talk to and knows all about her product. The place is clean and well kept and everything is fresh. Very glad I found it! read more

COVID-19 Review Don't walk too fast or you are going to miss this place. Situated in an alley, this small frozen yogurt shop was a great stop on our journey for something sweet. The line was long, but very manageable. I was feeling a coconut vibe this evening ... so I went with the Island Coconut yogurt topped with ... you guessed it ... coconut shavings. Yum! Just what I was looking for. Coming back to try some other flavor. read more

We love this place for a low fat dessert! If you sign up with them, you might get some very good deals!

This yogurt is awesome and more awesome Y'all should do this more often and cool flavors read more

It's been ages since I had some YoPo and it's as good as ever. The line always moves quickly, great flavor selection.

Came here on a Saturday night during COVID times. They have their menu listed on the brick wall outside and have 2 stations set up to take orders at the door (no patrons go inside). The service was nice and quick. The flavors were delicious. I got peanut butter froyo & my bf got cake batter froyo both with popping boba. Such a classic place to come when on Franklin street! read more

Good flavors / cheap price / convenient location - I think that sums up this place well (not self serve) Came here for a quick dessert option after brunch and was pretty good. Its tucked away on the side of the building, so it can be missed easily. The place inside is tight and cozy, I can imagine that it fills up quick on a hot busy day but when I was there it was practically empty. It isn't a self serve froyo place which is fine but does take some of the fun out of making your own little bowl of froyo. Short list of flavors but they have a wide spectrum of what you'd expect. I split mine between vanilla and cookies and cream. In terms of taste, it was really good, not overly sweet but just right. The only odd thing is that they serve it in a vertical cup instead of a bowl. In my opinion bowls make it much easier to put toppings on and just makes it more presentable. Overall, would recommend! read more

A healthy helping of frozen yogurt! A UNC classic everyone needs to try at least once.

The Carmel corn flavor was super good! Your traditional frozen yogurt spot with toppings. I would recommend

Yogurt Pump is my favorite place for dessert on Franklin Street. Hands down. There's only 6 flavors at any given time, but there is always something there for everyone. My favorites are: Irish Mint (which they no longer make), Grasshopper (a minty and chocolaty flavor), pumpkin pie (seasonal - and DELICIOUS), snickerdoodle (cinnamon flavored), and most of their berry flavors. And it's all at unbeatable prices. A child cup is enough for one person, and it's only $1.50 + tax. Small waffle cone is more than enough, but if you like waffle cones, I would highly recommend it: $2.53 + tax. Yes, it's cash-only, but with those kind of prices, it's an inconvenience that can easily be overlooked. read more

Love the selection of flavors and the wednesday promos! The service is also always great and the people working are very helpful. I have been a frequent customer since I was a UNC freshman! read more

I'm obsessed with yopo, I visit about once a month, I wish they had the original tart as a permanent flavor, 10/10

This is my favorite frozen yogurt in the Triangle! I love all the flavors, and it's been written up by a bunch of travel guides. The best flavor is the s'mores one (to me at least) and I like getting it with graham cracker crumbs and chocolate chips. It isn't self-serve, but that's ok. It's inexpensive enough that you can splurge for a bigger size if you want :) read more

A chapel hill classic! They also have fantastic deals through their mobile rewards texts

Hands down the best ice cream in Chapel Hill!!! Everyone is always so kind and the store is always so clean! I love to try new flavors and I am NEVER disappointed, 10/10 from me! read more
