Zinga

While visiting my friends in Ashburn, we decided to stop by Zinga for milkshakes, custard, gelato, frozen yogurt and/​or ice cream roll ups before we leave the area.
Today’s flavors included (1) Chocolate Custard, (2) Black Walnut Gelato, (3) Mint Chocolate, (4) White Chocolate Truffle, (5) Dark Chocolate, (6) Strawberry, (7) Pacific Coast Tart, (8) Pumpkin Pie, (9) Pineapple Upside Down, (10) Cotton Candy, (11) Vanilla Custard, and (12) Orange.
I liked how you could taste them before putting them in your 12oz cup. This place charged $ 0.49 per ounce. Some of my favorites were Pineapple Upside Down, Cotton Candy, Vanilla Custard, and Orange. The orange frozen yogurt tasted like orange push-​up pops. If you swirled Custard and Orange, it would taste like Orange Cream Soda.
You had the option to get a baked bottom at no additional cost — waffle cone or brownie.
They had endless amount of toppings. Toppings included (1) Fruit (e.g., cherries, mango caviar, strawberries, mango, kiwi), (2) Whipped Cream, (3) Multi-​colored Mochi, (4) Chocolate Candies (e.g., M&M’s, chocolate rock candy, caramel turtles, Reese’s, KitKat), (5) Coconut, (6) Cheesecake Bits, (7) Oreo Cookies, (8) Mini Marshmallows, (9) Gummies (e.g., Sour Patch Watermelon, Peach Rings, Shark Gummy, Gummy Bears), and more.
You had the option to add Caramel sauce or Chocolate sauce to your cup too!

Tried out zinga because of the roll up pictures I saw on here. Disappointed though, it didnt taste as good as it looked. It just tasted like heavy cream instead of ice cream. :(it almost seems like they forgot to put sugar in it. (?)

I’ve tried every frozen yougurt place out there like Sweet Frog, Bloo Moo, and Menchies but Zinga is the best! They have the most flavors and it is in a very good location! They also have a good selection of toppings! I defenitily recommend this frozen yougurt place! If I could, I would give this place 6 stars instead of 5 because it is so awesome! I’m never going to a different frozen yougurt place ever again because this one is the best! I also really like how they change their frozen yogurt flavors so it isn’t always the same!

Great selections of toppings, from various chocolate and fruit candy, fresh fruit, cereals and sauces. You can try samples of the yogurt before plunging in on a flavor, or 4. Truley a taste selection for everyone. Reasonable pricing. Pay by weight. Great Groupon deal. Very clean and always stocked up.

The kids love it here, there’s even options for my lactose-​intolerant family members. Always enjoy stopping in, when the kids have earned a treat!

Zinga… the one and only ice cream place you can freely roam around trying new selections of ice cream and many delicious toppings… Exactly like subway only with ice cream so I think I can see a similarity here… who knows what will be next… Tacos? Soup? Maybe even chicken! If you’re reading this review make sure to leave a review on Taco Bell, cheeburger cheeburger, and subway.

Fresh toppings, flavorful gelato, Italian ice, custard and frozen yogurt! The best feature is being able to sample flavors before you purchase. Zinga provides little paper cups to sample the flavors before adding to your cup for purchase. I believe Zinga has the best flavors and I love the many fresh toppings. I will for sure stop by again. And again :-)

Zinga is a very spacious, clean, and upscale frozen yogurt place. It’s a great place to get a refreshing treat. There are tons of delicious flavors to choose from as well as a ton of high quality, fresh toppings. They have tons of candy, gummies, and fresh fruit. They even let you sample whatever flavor you want. There is only one size cup and they charge you based on weight. It’s about $ 0.50 an ounce. The staff are friendly and helpful. The only negative is the mangoes I had were really sour and not ripe enough.
A very nice fro-​yo establishment!

I have been a frozen yogurt addict for about five years now. I’ve tried Mochi, Red Mango and Sweet Frog, but Zinga is the best. The toppings are endless as far as variety goes, the presentation is great, the flavors are absolutely amazing. I’ve yet to have any frozen yogurt that tastes nearly as decadent as Zinga has to offer. It really hits the spot! :3

Great place for froyo. It’s clean, spacious and has great staff. There are many flavors to choose from and many toppings. It’s organized and kept tidy which is much appreciated.

No other frozen yogurt places compare. None in Ashburn, Sterling, Leesburg or anywhere else in the world I’ve had froyo!!!
Delicious, high-​quality froyo. Lots of choices (cotton candy is the best!), tons of toppings, even more toppings on the cereal wall, always clean, friendly staff, lots of seating, reasonably priced, no trouble with parking.
Definitely sign up for the text messages for frequent buyers if you live in the area. You can save SO much so frequently. Warning though– it becomes quite addicting :)

The Gelato yogurt has a nice texture, the fruit selection was ok. Overall a nice treat.

Good frozen yogurt place. They have a variety of yogurt flavors and a fairly large toppings bar. The dining area has alot of seating with additional seating outside.
The adult staff tend to be friendly. The younger staff customer service is sometimes good and sometimes bad. Good place to get your froyo.

Very good frozen yogurt shop. Plenty of flavors and toppings for even the most finicky eater. The price is by weight and seems reasonable. This place has really become a fixture in the Ashburn Farm community with many families visiting and engagement with the community. They also have gelato and custard as well as yogurt. From a choice of flavors and toppings as well as taste, I have to give this Zinga an edge over Sweet Frog.

Best froyo ever!!! Now they have Gelato!!! This place is addictive. Sure, tons of kids in this place but what can you expect from Ashburn. The place is always clean and professional. A great smell once you walk in. You are guaranteed to find a flavor you enjoy. I like all the toppings that Zinga has, including peanut better and hot caramel. Once you go to Zinga… thats it!

I pretty much reserve 5-​star reviews only for places that I feel would be worth returning to over and over again. Well, this Zinga hits the mark on that requirement. This is a summertime favorite, and I probably end up coming here at least once a month. They are always trying new flavors (sometimes they aren’t great, sometimes they are really interesting). It’s refreshing to see them change things up once in awhile. Staff are very friendly, toppings are fresh and various. If you’re a regular, you can sign up for their free membership and get occasional free yogurts after purchasing a certain amount.
I like their method of charging you by weight vs. Pinkberry which charges you by cup size and gives you «unlimited» toppings. Zinga always ends up coming out ahead in the pricing.
As far as froyo places go, this is pretty much as good as it gets. Prices are reasonable. Quality is good. Staff is friendly. Lots of flavors and toppings. There’s really not much else to say.

My husband and I came here after dinner, and we were happily surprised that the place was opened until 11PM on Fridays/​Saturdays! We were greeted when we walked in, and liked how there were a lot of people, sitting at tables, enjoying their frozen yogurt. Zinga is known to offer a wide variety of fat free and low calorie frozen yogurt flavors; their flavors meet the National Yogurt Association’s criteria for Live and Active Culture yogurt. You start off on one side of the place by picking up your cup — either an empty one or one of their ‘Zinga Bottomz’ (vanilla cake, waffle cone, brownie, or red velvet cake) — I opted for the red velvet and topped it with a Tropical Sorbet that was delicious — a mixture of tangy/​tart pineapple and oranges. Their toppings included an array of dispensers holding Lucky Charms marshmallows, plain M&Ms, peanut M&Ms, sprinkles, Jelly Belly Beans, nuts, Captain Crunch Berries, etc., as well as another section with strawberries, Maraschino cherries, blackberries, marshmallows, cheesecake, plain mochi, sour worms, etc. The toppings bar was a little messy and some needed some refills. I had mine topped with some sour gummy worms, plain mochi, peanut M&Ms, and a maraschino cherry — just a hodge podge of stuff. The red velvet cake was moist, but it was a little more on the bland side — I think I would have preferred just a plain cup of yogurt. I really liked the different colored spoons they had — hot pink, purple, blue, green — pretty cool! Currently, they have locations in Colorado, Massachusetts, VA, New Hampshire, Texas, and Florida. They also have a Zinga Loyalty rewards program where you give them your mobile number to track the points — once you receive 40, you get a free 10oz yogurt. I’m glad I was able to check this place out!

We walked out after sampling. All the yogurt was melting right out of the dispensers. So, there goes the texture. Also, the flavors were off. The «tart» wasn’t. They didn’t even have blueberry tart, my favorite at my visit to the South Riding Zinga.
Completely disappointed. Not sure if this location is inferior, or was having a bad day.

It tastes the same as any other frozen yogurt place. They have a lot of toppings to choose from.
It is always VERY crowded, at least when we go, so that’s the biggest reason I’m not the biggest fan of this place. People are so focused on their food and toppings that they become rude.

It’ll do, but still nothing compared to Pinkberry, in my opinion!
The yogurt is self-​serve, similar to the way it is at Sweet Frog. I did like their Raspberry and Pomegranate flavors, as well as the original tart. However, the toppings bar is what was disappointing to me. The fruit did not look fresh and appealing at all, like it had been sitting out for a while. I did like the dry toppings bar (sprinkles, nuts, candies) — you could twist the dispenser with your cup of yogurt under it to top your yogurt off instead of using community spoons. The less germs the better!
Anyway, Zinga is just alright. I’d probably go again but only if I were in the area.
