Best frozen yogurt I've ever had. Variety of flavors and doesn't turn into soup quickly like other yogurt places. The place itself is clean, orderly, and the workers are nice. I can spend hours here.. And I have. read more

Low Fat! No Sugar! Hey that's great. Too bad it tastes like powdered chemical sludge. I took a couple bites and threw the rest away. It was that bad. I gave them two stars because one of the toppings were at least real oreos. read more

this place is just so-so. they have 3 things going for them: -very little competition* -many flavors & toppings -great service *Tartberry at Cold Stone is far better than the plain tart froyo here. I'll come here if I'm i a pinch but Pink Berry and Yogurt Land are my favorites. read more

Oh yes, I love fro-yo! The original tart here is really good and more on the sweet side for apprehensive tart eaters. I prefer mine a lil bit more sour but this was good with the tart strawberries. I also mixed in the vanilla yogurt which wasn't overly sweet. Boo for not having Fruity Pebbles cereal for a topping though! At least there was fresh fruit and mochi. I enjoyed my nearly 1lb of yogurt and toppings very much. read more

Great frozen yogurt with tons of toppings and a wide variety of flavors! The fro yo options change about every two weeks to keep things spiced up. Very polite and friendly staff. Indoor or outdoor seating, or take yo 'gurt to go! Pro tip: they even have cones! Just ask for a cone before getting your yogurt. Beware the Friday afternoon middle-schooler rush! read more

Wow this yogurt is some of the best ever! This was the second Yogurt Shack I went to on my trip to California. I was taken here by someone needing to satisfy his yogurt fix. I have been to many yogurt places in Atlanta but have never had yogurt as good as this before. I usually hate self-serve yogurt places, but the yogurt was so good I didn't care. I had the red velvet cake yogurt at this location. It was soooooooo creamy. It was like soft serve consistency. The flavor was legit, tasted exactly like a red velvet cake...yum! They had so many toppings it was ridiculous, so many different types of chocolate and sour candies. All the fruit options were fresh. I was sad they didn't have the peanut butter flavor they had in the Concord one. Really wish they had a Yogurt Shack in Atlanta. Pretty sure I would be there...a lot! read more

Yogurt Shack is so delicious. I got cake batter with brownies and cookie dough. My mouth was in heaven. Their toppings are of high quality. I loved it and plan to make the trip to Lafayette again, just for Yogurt Shack! read more

I think that Yogurt Shack is fantastic so long as I call it "Soft-Serve Ice Cream Shack" in my head. It's far too creamy and dense for my taste, but I'm sure it's a great, healthy alternative to Cold Stone or other far-too creamy ice cream. Their original tart is WAY TOO CREAMY to pass for one of those tart, trendy yogurts. I do love that they have biodegradable cups. I don't appreciate the styrofoam cups right next to them. It sends mixed ecomessages to my head. read more

Awesome. Living in Walnut Creek presents many fro-yo options within a 5 minute driving radius, and I have to crown this establishment as my favorite. The texture of the yogurt when I was there was perfect. It was far superior to coco-swirl in the intensity of the flavor and the texture. The flow of the self serve out of the machines was occasionally slow, but I appreciate the higher quality consistancy of the yogurt over the speed. The flavors when I was there were my personal favorites. To be able to choose between peanut butter, mint and cookies and cream was great. One of the best parts about this place is the inclusion of nutritional facts on the yogurt machine. Many people on calorie counting diets consume fat free yogurt, and having that information is valuable. I think that prominently displaying the caloric content adds transparency to an industry that might be described as a delicous dieting fad. read more

The former location of Toot Sweet, this place is doing a good business. During the summer, it was packed with teens, families and business people. The interior is cleaner and well kept than Flippers. We walked into Flippers and could not believe what we saw as we promptly walked out. I've been to Yogurt Shack thrice so far and like their tart yogurt. It's a bit pricey, but I guess that's the going rate in the area. read more

Really good yogurt and best toppings selection of the area's yogurt shops. My only beef is that it's often overrun with kids that could be better supervised (no fault of the establishment I realize, but a fact nevertheless). They almost always have a couple of my favorite flavors (mint, coffee) and well as the usual fruity assortment. Tip: Parking is now an issue since Whole Foods opened up next store. read more

Yogurt Shack is the go to place for a snack after school and so much healthier than McD's or Cold Stone. It's very, very clean, and since half of the clientele is children, that's a real plus in my book. Finally, there is a dairy free strawberry yogurt that I like, great for those of us who have lactose problems. But I also like tart original with a scoop of (fresh) blueberries and a scoop of blackberries all mixed up. read more

I am a yogurt lover and found Yogurt Shack to be great! You get to serve your own yogurt, and you can even be green about it with their green friendly yogurt cups!. They always have a variety of yogurts and any topping you could imagine to go on them. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant is very clean and kept up. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. It is also right in downtown Lafayette so there is plenty of other stuff to do after you enjoy your dessert! read more

Not a bad yogurt joint. I had the cookies and cream froyo and I really liked it! They have a wide selection of toppings to choose from. I like how clean the place is. I do think it is interesting that you have to ask them to get samples of everything when it is self-serve. But ok, not that big of a deal. Overall I like the joint and would return if I were in the area. HOWEVER, the jungle theme I would say is a bit outdated? read more

Awesome flavor options. I'm no't crazy about the marshmallow (tastes more like toasted-ness than marshmallow), but the cookies and cream is to die for. The peach and strawberry are really good, too. The cookie dough is AMAZING. Real, legit cookie dough, not those little frozen balls. The fruit is good, too. Tons of topping options. The service is great. The people that work there are very helpful and cheerful. And the place is very clean. A weekly go-to for us for sure. read more

The yogurt is quite good, but machines and the floor are often dirty. Machines often out of working order too. The young adults working there do not seem adept at fixing or cleaning. Sometimes they are friendly, sometimes grumpy and silent. read more

Self serve soft frozen yogurt, assorted flavors and toppings bar. After dinner treat.

Awesome yogurt. It is the smoothest, most creamy, yogurt I've ever had. It's like ice-cream. Their is a reason it has awards in the business market. You will not be disappointed. Also they have Monday happy hour. Buy one get one free or just half price! read more

I used to love this place.....that is, until I found Yogurtland in Pleasant Hill!!! Why? Simply price. Other than that, Yogurt Shack and Yogurtland are perfect substitutes. They both have a wide variety of flavors, and toppings which include candy, chocolate, and fresh fruit. Both places charge you by the ounce. Yogurt Shack is an expensive 38 cents an ounce. Yogurtland is 30 cents an ounce. You may not think that is much of a difference, but if one gas station offered gas for $3.80 a gallon, and another was $3.00 a gallon, which would you choose? read more

Its New and ITs crowded!!!! But, the yogurt is GOOOOOOD!!! There are several options, besides my favorite signature tart. There are tons of toppings, some of which you have to ask to have them bagged up, weighed and purchased. This place is in a pretty good spot in Lafayette, right in the middle. Until Whole Foods opens, there is parking. And, once you get your yogurt, there is plenty of seating outside. If you cannot find anything right out front, go around the corner, into the courtyard where the fountain is and you will find more. We took my niece and nephew there for yogurt. This was perfect for them. THey live right in the area and the DO IT YOURSELF yogurt and toppings is the only way to go for kids. It does make it a little messier, but they need less yogurt and smaller samples of several toppings. THEY LOVED IT! And Aunt Jen and MJ were earning points on the coolness chart! read more

Friendly service, good flavors, clean environment and not as expensive as the big chains!

Great price and a fun place for families. That said, I'm totally spoiled by East Breezy in SF. This yogurt tastes like its full of chemicals and sugar. read more

Yummy yoghurt! I had strawberry, highly reccomend . The yoghurt was tasty, the staff were friendly

When I get froyo I get original tart and then top it with fruit. That's about the healthiest you can make your froyo. The tart flavor was nice and wasn't too tart and not too sweet so it had a good balance. Topped with fresh strawberries and blueberries made for a tasty snack on a hot afternoon. I believe it's 49 cents an ounce so my yogurt came out at around $5 for the medium size cup. It's your average froyo place but the toppings are fresh and the yogurt is tasty. Good option if you are in the area. read more

Pretty solid Fro Yo in the East Bay. Super creamy and excellent flavor selection. The toppings are really good too. I thought the price per pound was pretty affordable too. If I'm in Lafayette I will definitely go back. read more

i read the previous 16 reviews...generally spot on. here's what was missed: they do not change flavors daily...unless I happen to have come on 2 identical days... they offer a "free" waffle cone option...obviously you pay for the weight of the cone...but for all those SOOO into "bio-degradable"...can't be any more green than that...I like the yummy cones...but gets soggy. You also have to ask for it at the counter...so it's awkward if it's busy. toppings could use more fresh fruit options, I think I only saw sliced strawberries. Wish there was mochi, bananas, kiwi, etc. yogurt taste and consistency is all good...no complaints. Overall, expect more toppings catering to little kids. read more

Came here on lunch break. Great flavors and toppings. Avoid the out of school rush hour. Lots of kids!! Lol

I was in your Lafayette store about 11:10 am today, July 14. A young man greeted me when I came in and a young woman was walking past the machines. I asked her what Golden Gate chocolate meant and she replied, "Oh, that's just our regular chocolate." I decided to get cake batter and the chocolate. Unfortunately, when I depressed the lever for cake batter, the machine spit and spurted all over me. I had just come from walking the reservoir so had sticky substance on my shoes, legs, shorts, tank, arms, and hands. The girl ignored me as I stood there in distress. The boy handed me a dry rag, said "Sorry," and told me the machines wouldn't be ready for 5 minutes. I had intended to run other errands in Lafayette but I couldn't because I was a sticky mess. I came home to Moraga to get cleaned up. The clothes, spotted all over, are both new. They are in the washing machine right now and I desperately hope they come clean. I had really looked forward to having froyo. Update: I called the manager and told her what had happened and she was beyond nice. Kind and considerate and clearly valued customer relations. I feel much better now--and I got a free yogurt. Yum. read more

This place is great. A good size parking lot. Plenty of places to sit. A good variety of flavors. A great pricing structure. Also has fruit and ice flavor for kids who are gluten and caisen free. read more

I, honestly, did not want to like this place. Especially, if you're coming in to this store as a minority. Talk about awkward! All eyez on me! Act like they've never seen a honey -colored chick before. But, that's beside the point. Now let's get to the real task at hand. Their fro-yo. I had both the Strawberry and Vanilla fro-yo and it was surprisingly good! It wasn't runny nor too tart. The consistency was just right. I pretty much gobbled it up. If you're in the area, I would definitely drop by just to check it out. But, its not somewhere i'd go out of my way to come back to. read more

They would not allow me to use one of their pens. I claimed that I needed to borrow it and they didn't allow it. They also had their watermelon flavor out of order. read more

Seriously, this place must be making a fortune! You can stand outside for 10 minutes and see 100 people come in and out. Service is friendly and the flavors are great! The prices are a bit high but then again, that is the way it is with self-serve yogurt. read more

For those with dairy allergies, there is always one non-dairy sorbet style soft serve on the right machine. Again, after school and weekends get crazy! read more

As you walk through the swinging glass doors of Yogurt Shack, all six senses, yes, including that "X factor" stand on their tippy toes; they know you are in the presence of real cookie dough. Alas, the Gods have answered. 'nuff said, the self serve yogurt shop steals my heart and wallet away. read more

This is my personal favorite place to get froyo. I love the flavors and all the fixin's plus this yogurt doesn't give me that weird after taste that some places do. I go here often and can't wait to go back. I usually go for the tart,vanilla flavors and a couple times they had marshmallow and cake batter which were also very tasty. They usually always have the tart and vanilla, but switch out the other flavors. I put nuts, raspberries, and of course caramel on top. So yummy! read more

If there's one thing I hate about self serve frozen yogurt places, it's when they're stingy with providing samples. I don't see the harm in allowing your PAYING customers to sample flavors on their own. Here at Yogurt Shack, you have to ask an employee to sample a flavor, which they will then dispense the sample for you. It's really not that big of a deal, but to each their own and besides, this is what Yelp is for. Being that this is the only frozen yogurt place around the area, and hearing good things, a friend and I decided to give it a try. I believe their price is either $0.38/0.39/ounce. I'm not sure if they rotate their flavors everyday but on the day that we were there, they had Golden Gate Chocolate, Vanilla, Mint, Cake Batter, another type of chocolate, Cookies & Cream, and Original Tart. (There could have been more that I failed to mention) As you can see, they have a pretty extensive selection of flavors but if you're more of a tarty froyo fanatic like I am, none of them will really jump out at you besides Original Tart. I sampled it and I LOVED the consistency. I hate when froyo is watery and melts the minute after you leave the register. It was ok, a little flavorless but nonetheless edible. My friend sampled the Cake Batter which she liked so I took her word for it and filled my cup with half Cake Batter and half Original Tart. The toppings were mostly dry toppings such as granola, nuts, crushed candy, cookies, and brownies, along with your typical toppings like sprinkles. They also had a couple fruit toppings such as strawberries, blueberries, and surprisingly even mochi. I usually never get candy toppings so I'm not sure what made me want to throw in a few pieces of a Reese's cup into my cup. My cup came out to be a little over $4.00 which was not bad at all. I was able to sit through a good conversation with my friend as we enjoyed our yogurt without looking down to a watery mess in the middle of it. Overall, this place is alright. One star for the price and two more for the thick consistency of their yogurt. I'd go here if I was desperately craving froyo but I wish they'd get less generic flavors and throw some sample cups out there for customers to sample flavors on their own. read more

It was a late evening, and I was tired of sitting in peets reading. So, with no dinner to speak of, I waltzed over to the shack. I am from OC, the birthing place of frozen yogurt. Ahem, yogurtland, 30c an ounze. At the shack, you are not paying shack prices. Try 38 cents. Which adds up--so dont be piling on all 275748 toppings onto your yogurt. Oh, and if you ask for a sample, they do it for you--you might uncontrollably keep sampling if you do, or somthing. read more

I love self serve yogurt shops! Can be a problem though (only when I get too much). Irish mint and root beer are amazing. Had some other flavors another time and they were good too. $0.42 an oz. not too bad I guess. I've been to places that are a little less. read more

Yogurt is good. However, though they offer samples, the two young ladies have consistently (occurring on both of our only two trips to this store) acted as though we were inconveniencing them by asking for samples. Moreover, to get their attention, we had to wait for them to finish their conversation behind the counter. They act as though their conversation is more important than the business coming in the door. Improved customer service is certainly needed at this location. read more

Frozen yogurt is back, and I'm loving this place especially! The flavors ROCK, and the toppings are many and varied. The price is right, too. What I especially like about this place is that you can get as much or as little as you want--great for people like me, watching what I eat. read more
