Atmosphere
Upon entering the small
restaurant, one is met with a fun, casual atmosphere as they are surrounded
with hot pink and lime green walls. To the
left is a tv and and a wall covered with famous yogurt creation recipes. Some seating is provided throughout the
location. Various genres of today’s top
hits also play softly throughout the store.
Service
There was one
person visibly working this small, but casual location upon my visit. She welcomed my friend and I from her spot
behind the register quickly as we entered.
She was kind, but not talkative when we bought our food.
Food
The store offers
six flavors of fat-free frozen yogurt at a time, two flavors per machines. The two at each machine can be mixed, if the
customer so desires.
There are tester
cups if anyone has no idea what to get, but if they do they can jump ahead and
get a Styrofoam cup in front of the machines- either the small or large
cup. After filling up to one’s desire,
he or she can add the toppings, located after the machines and before the
register.
On this visit,
they had peppermint, vanilla, original tart, mango, English toffee, and
chocolate frozen yogurt. I tasted
peppermint, mango, and English toffee and all satisfied my taste buds. They were rich and flavorful.
There were 30-40
toppings including brownies, pink sprinkles, crushed peppermint candy pieces, white
chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, gummi worms, strawberries,
blueberries, mango, cherries, and kiwi.
There was also an option to add liquids: hot fudge, raspberry syrup,
nutella, white chocolate syrup, and others.
In addition to
this option, one can choose a wrap, salad, smoothie, pie, coffee, etc.

Payment
The frozen yogurt
is weighed to decide how much it will cost.
For me and my
friend, our frozen yogurt came to over $11 with our student discount. Generally, the food is always between $0-10,
and they accept cash and credit.
Specials
They offer
discounts throughout the week, one for college students on Mondays and 20% for
everyone on Fridays. They also have Buy
One Get One Free deals.
Conclusion
FroYo is a
wonderful alternative to area desserts for its flavor and healthy options.
The food I got on
this visit was wonderful. The yogurt was
flavorful and delicious and the options to add to the yogurt were
plentiful. The atmosphere was welcoming
as was the service. However, $5 for a dessert or snack may be
too expensive for the average customer – at least for certain college students
as myself. All other items will be
between $0 and $10, which should be comparable to other locations.
If one were to come here specifically for the
yogurt, however, I would recommend one keeping in mind that weight affects cost
and to try a smaller portion. Overall,
one should consider trying Fro Yo’s Creations.
