If any of you are familiar with Pinkberry in L.A., then you know exactly how great this new establishment is. I stopped by Yogaberry today to check them out. For those of you not familiar with Pinkberry, it is the Starbucks of frozen yogurt. They have two main flavors, origianal and green tea. You then decide what fresh fruit toppings and dry toppings you would like to add. I was shocked at how very similar Yogaberry is to Pinkberry. The flavor is a little more mild than Pinkberry, but till very good. I got my favorite, green tea with bananas. I like to add fruity pebbles every now and then. The best part: only 28 calories per serving! Anyway... here are the pics. The space is very trendy, and I hope the best for them in the future. They have a very "downtown" feel, although they are in a suburban mecca. Look for the new location opening at the Town Center in about 2 weeks.

This place is very good, but only problem is that it smells like a dental office.
Get the original with just strawberries, awesome stuff.
There is one @ St. John's Town Center that just opened as well......
I cant wait for there to be a YogaBerry on every corner and then 5 years later 600 of them close leaving many people confused and distraught....."OMG where am I gonna get my super expensive yogurt now?" LOL
Is it in the Target shopping center? Don't ask me how I recognize that dumpster (because it's not that interesting).

Considering it is a local chain, your comment failed. ::)
DAMN. OKay then, when yogaberry becomes national and is THEN on every street corner.........
Did anyone else notice the prices....
It is a little higher, and it's location choices are proof enough. They are worth the occassional splurge though, I enjoy them, and are nice people.
At least they're not claiming to be "all-natural," because I think we all know how that ended up for Pinkberry. Personally, I like my fro-yo chock full of emulsifiers, labratory-created sweeteners and preservatives.

Yes, its in the Target shopping center.

Yes, they do. I believe there is one on Race Track Road where the Publix shopping center is located down in Julington Creek.
My g/f and I stopped by the one at Town Center, it was cold but not really that good, and expensive for what you get. The interior could be done better as well. What's up with the banner for a menu board?
One is getting ready to open soon in Mandarin just south of Outback on San Jose Blvd. The building has the capacity for a take out window but I haven't noticed them removing the knockout yet. I recall reading this chain was backed by Wayne Davis, an heir to the Winn Dixie founders.
Looks like the trend - Beauty and the Beef just opened @ Fleming Island a couple of weeks ago & the yogurt menu & selection is consistent with the Pinkberry / Yogaberry concept with a HUGE twist (pun intended) - Cheese steaks! What a combo.
