I love frozen yogurt, and it’s a once-a-week tradition in our home. Usually, we go to Zoyo Frozen Yogurt, but this time we decided to try a new spot since we were in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, I wish we had just stuck to our go-to spot. Here's why:
We visited Yogurtland on a Wednesday night, and the place was quite busy, which was nice to see. However, there was only one employee on shift. She was really nice, but that was about the extent of the positive aspects.
First, the layout was strange. There was a glass wall dividing the seating area from where you get your yogurt. This created an awkward situation where you couldn't move back and forth to check out different flavors or see what was being offered, especially with how busy it was. The same issue applied to the toppings bar; a weird line formed, making it difficult to access the toppings freely.
Speaking of the toppings bar, it was a mess. The bananas were brown and unappetizing, the whipped cream was squirting out everywhere, nothing was labeled, and there were toppings all over the place. Someone needs to be constantly wiping and organizing to keep it presentable and sanitary.
As for the flavors, I got the cookies and cream and vanilla, while my boyfriend tried the pineapple and banana pudding. Unfortunately, both the pineapple and banana pudding tasted extremely perfumey and artificial. It was quite disappointing.
While the staff was friendly and the place was busy, the overall experience at Yogurtland in Avondale was underwhelming. The strange layout, messy toppings bar, and artificial flavors made us wish we had just gone to Zoyo Frozen Yogurt instead.
