Qoola Frozen Yogurt + Fruit

WHY???
Tried to go here the other day and pretty much cried because they closed.
There needs to be more fro yo downtown Van

I had walked around for the better part of 2 days (unplugged and without any local being able to point me towards my froyo fix) before spotting Qoola coming back from English Bay. This was every bit as good of yogurt quality (had Cookies and Cream and Original) and toppings variety relative to anywhere I’ve been in the States. Loved that they had tapioca toppings; hard to find at most places.
Was such a fan that I walked 3 – 4 miles roundtrip the next morning from our hotel at Canada Place for Round 2 before leaving town.

I’m glad I finally got around to trying this place out as it is indeed a ‘healthier’ alternative to summer ice-​cream cravings. I’ve tried pineapple and original, and both are yummy with my topping choice of strawberries and yogurt chips.
Service was good, and I appreciated the patience while I sampled a bunch of flavors and toppings. I’ll be back!

Qoola gets 3 stars and here is why:
— The yogurt and the toppings are awesome. I’d recommend this low calorie snack to anyone. 5 stars here.
3 stars:
— It always appears to be a DISASTER in Qoola. You have to wait in a short line for like 15 minutes to place your order… what the hell is up with that anyway? A 3 minute endeavour always turns into 15 minutes of waiting for no good reason. Honestly, Qoola, you need to redesign your layout and train your staff because both sort of suck.
— The people. My god the people that are in there. Not Qoola’s fault, it’s the West End’s fault, but seriously, stop bumping in to me, breathing into my ear and bringing your dog in a bag to a food establishment.

I absolutely love Qoola. Low-​fat delicious fro-​yo with a plethora of fresh fruit & candy toppings!
If you’re feeling in the mood for something really refreshing on a (rare) scorcher in Vancity, get the pineapple yogurt with a ton of fresh fruit.
Delicious!
(And the cute cashier with an aussie accent didn’t hurt either!)

Nothing is more refreshing on a warm summer night than a big cup of froyo loaded with fresh fruit. Since trying Qoola, I’ve stopped going to DQ or McDonalds for an ice cream fix because I’ve realized that frozen yogurt does so much more to refresh you than a bowl of overtly sweet, sugary ice cream loaded with equally sweet toppings (that is, besides the offerings at Bella Gelateria).
Of course, sweet toppings are available if you want-​but the big draw is their fresh fruit selection. The froyo flavours rotate-​plain is always available. I like that they just recently changed their topping policy, so now you can get as many toppings as fit rather than paying per topping. It works out to about the same, but it’s great if you want just a *tiny* bit of something squeezed in to try. My personal favorite: strawberries and oreo, so I get the best of both worlds!
Just remember, even though it’s much healthier than ice cream it’s certainly not calorie-​free! Eating too much of this, as addictive as it is, won’t help your waistline at all.

I’m pretty much always in the mood for frozen yogurt, so when I discovered Qoola on Denman (how could I have missed it?), I knew I’d found a new love. Tons of toppings to choose from, each flavour becomes something unique when these little guys are added.
Not only delicious, it’s good for me – natural and fresh, this creamy goodness is irresistible enough to make me want it all the time. Hmm, but it’s nutritious, right? That means I probably can?

Delicious! However, I went in with 2 Groupons and the remainder to be paid was $ 2.50. I only brought my debit card, and the girl said the internet must be down because it wasn’t going through. She asked if I had anything else and I said no. She said «Well, OK, can you take money out or something from an ATM?» I said, «look, it’s not really my fault your debit machine is down, and you didn’t tell me this before I ordered». She stood there and stared at me saying «well ok then»… until she said OK you don’t have to pay for it.
Like wow, thanks…
The frozen yogurt is great and the topping are fresh and good but they don’t have a very large topping selection, compared to other frozen yogurt joints I’ve seen. Very cool interior, very modern, but extremely HOT!
If it weren’t for the service, this would have been 4 star.

The peach mango yoghurt was creamy and quite tasty, and it’s a nice touch when you get to try the flavours before ordering.
Waffle in my opinion was a little too dry for my liking. I didn’t think very much of the different toppings too. Either the batter had been sitting all day or they should consider a different recipe.
My mates seem to dig this joint though, I guess different strokes for different folks.

This is a good, less rich alternative to Denman’s Marble Slab and Dairy Queen. I really recommend it for takeout before a stroll to the English Bay beach or for eat-​in on a rainy night.
My favourite combination is the Green Tea frozen yogurt with fruit toppings and Marion Berry sauce.

I swear this place made me fat.
Okay, wait, i was plump before I found this place, but it only added… I would drive from North Van at 9:00pm to come and get this. A couple times a week. I always get a medium original, plain with nothing else. I love the tangy taste of the original. On this particular night, I heard this one woman who was convinced she was about twenty years younger than she was (from the way she was dressed) say never to get the original because it was too sour. Umm, it’s yogurt. If you want something less tangy, get ice cream down the street. My friend tried to order chocolate, but they said it would be a few minutes until it was the right texture…
I’ve been here once when they ran out of the yogurt mix. They asked me if I wanted a waffle. Umm, no. So they gave me a coupon for a BOGO, but then when I came back to use it, they gave me the third degree about where I got the coupon from. Umm, you?

Sweetlicious! Mother Earth and I salute you!
It is a nice, bright and open place. Service is always nice and polite, and aside their delicios yogurt (read chocolate with coconut; co co for coconut), their crepes are awesome (read nutella rasberry).
I haven’t been there for sometime now. I guess I am waiting for sunshine again to get me going to the 2^nd beach!
I still have to try their waffles!

A small FroYo store in the middle of downtown. I wish this places a bit bigger due to the traffic of the store. But I can see that in the summer, people come her to grab a nice FroYo and head down to the beach or either just walk and eat.
Comparing this branch to the one in Metrotown, I just don’t like how it is not self serve. It might seem more easier that the people work there of course sell it to you, but isn’t having a little flexibility more fun and being creative is way better.
I love the location of this branch as it is so close to Davie Street and sunset beach! I can see myself coming here this summer with a bunch of friends again to just grab a desert for summer! (Fire works season)
The decorations of the place seems so much more creative than most places, as their washroom stairs are crooked for a reason. Creative edge to it, and it sparks my interest of design.
Will go back this summer of 2011 to enjoy another FroYo.

Yummers! I was in the mood for frozen yogurt with a selection of toppings and we hit the motherload. Clean, over the top friendly service. Delicious yogurt (usually 4 flavors to choose from) and toppings ranging from fresh fruit to cinnamon toast crunch.
The lovely ladies and their accents were an added bonus. Plus they try to have people recycle as much as possible.

Super duper expensive for frozen yogurt, but man are we hooked on this stuff!!! My usual is the original frozen yogurt with chunks of reeses pieces and kiwi fruit. Odd mix but it tastes soooo good! It’s especially addicting in the summer months but it’s definitely great anytime of the year! Even now! Great location, only blocks away from English Bay and all the shops around are pretty sweet as well. Tourists love this place too because of the location.
TRY THE FROZEN YOGURT AT QOOLA!!!

Frozen Yogurt is the new trend.
This place is pretty solid as a Frozen Yogurt chain.
Lots of toppings, lots of yogurt flavors and lots of other goodies like pancakes?
The fruits are fresh and the toppings are wide in variety. THey had everything from Pistachios to Captain Crunch.
Great for a nice summer day by the beach!

Qoola has jumped on the frozen yogurt fame of Pink Berry and Red Mango in USA. Everyone is trying to watch there waist line and here you can do it very easily. I have tried every flavor or yogurt, green tea, original, raspberry, strawberry. My topping faves changes from mochi and raspberry sauce to a Smores variation, to just plane fruit.
The also serve up Brazilian style Acai, Belgium style Waffles.
All packaging is compostable as well. Talk about guilt free everything!

Because it’s World Cup season, there were frozen yogurt desserts named after different countries such as Team Canada (of course), Team Italy and Team Japan. I chose Team China because it was made with thick, smooth and tart raspberry-​pomegranate yogurt, pineapple chunks, mango and mango sauce. It was pretty good!
I sampled their original tart and green tea. They were good, tasted like basically any other original tart or green tea I’ve ever tasted.
It’s not a self serve shop but prices were average, service was friendly and they offered a lot more than frozen yogurt. There is also free wifi and if you have US dollars, you can use that too (that’s what I ended up doing).

Qoola 0n Denman
A busy new yogurt place. Choose from the basic yogurt from the basic yogurt flavours like vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. or try the green tea. It’s $ 4.85 for a small and for each topping .89 cents on top of that.
I say, extremely overpriced for what is they offer. However, from 11 – 7 they have a $ 5 special. A small yogurt with 2 toppings. Your best bet considering the times we lie in in nowadays.
It’s a clean and modern establishment staffed with some very helpful and pleasant employees.
It is worth a try just to compare it to others you may have tried.

I was already on Denman street and having read heard about this place (not only from Unilocal). I really wanted to find it. plus I was hungry!
I walked in and the ladies at the counter were extremely friendly. They told me about their business and how it was healthy and nutritious. You can sample their different toppings. I had to try MOCHI, not knowing what it was: it’s a rice flower pancake, kind of jelly like.
They have the four following options for yogourt: vanilla, chocolate, green tea (I was convinced!), and raspberry. I got the $ 5 special with blueberry and mango toppings. When I was paying, I mentioned live cultures and lady at the counter wasn’t sure whether the discount applied to the daily special, but she gave it to me anyway.
While I was eating, one of them came over and asked if I needed a glass of water and how everything was; what service :)
I want to go back tomorrow.
