Yoforia

I live in walking distance of this yoforia. I was hesitant to even try it because my only past experience with a yoforia was in northpoint mall (north of the city) and that one is horrendous – weird, limited flavor choice…
The one on Howell mill was much better. I would love if they would improve on their vanilla flavor. It tastes cheap, and is often too runny to eat. I went there last night and the best flavor in my opinion was key lime pie. I always end up feeling satisfied, although with yoforia I feel like picking a flavor is more like a struggle to find one that is bearable rather than feeling like I can pick something I actually feel like eating.
Honestly, my favorite froyo to date is from racetrac swirl world. Their vanilla custard and Georgia peach are fire. Their cookies and cream flavor is also noticeably better than any other I’ve tried… And it’s nearly 10c an ounce cheaper. Ever since I’ve had theirs, I’m a harsher critic on the others.

Great frozen yogurt and excellent topping choices. Parking can be a bit of a hassle, but doable. Service is good and quick. I’m a fan!

It’s self-​serve yogurt with awesome toppings… what’s not to love? Perfect little date night rendezvous with my beau is grabbing a burger at Yeah! Burger or breakfast for dinner at West Egg and grabbing a froyo to take home and watch a movie. They keep the lines moving and give you cups to take your own samples, both things that I appreciate.

This is my favorite fro-​yo place near Georgia Tech because of the wide range of flavors and fresh toppings. I love the original (tart) flavor here and the mango, taro, and green tea! So far, I’ve discovered that the mango and green tea flavors are seasonal, though I wish they offered them year long. I’ve only been to one other froyo place that offered green tea as a flavor (it was a local, family owned business near Johns Creek), and the only complaint I have is that the green tea flavor at Yoforia isn’t «matcha-​y» enough for me.
One issue that I have with some other froyo places is that they would offer too many cake batter, chocolate, caramel, etc. flavors and not enough of the fruity, tart flavors that I love. Yoforia has a great balance between the two. A couple of my friends tend to get the chocolate/​peanut butter/​etc flavors, while I stick to the tart flavors. I love how Yoforia has the best of both worlds.
Also, all the toppings look very fresh, unlike some other places where it seems that some of the fruit may have fermented already (gross). I rarely get any other topping besides mochi, but all my friends who get the fruit toppings love it and never complain.
Service is great. All the workers are very friendly and the place is always very clean.
All in all a great place. Parking can get crowded in the deck, (but at least the deck is free!) especially during Fri-​Sat nights, since Ornsby’s and Yeah! Burger share the same deck.

So much better than yogli! Better options including more sorbet (my personal fav) and the they had a wide range of toppings. So I’ll defiantly be taking the extra walk to come here

Yoforia was the first time I had the latest craze of frozen yogurt, not like the TCBY stuff. Ever since I had it years ago, I feel like all other yogurt shops pale in comparison, except for maybe Pinkberry. This is probably also because I’m a fan of fruity yogurt flavors and not of the chocolate. Although, don’t get me wrong, I love chocolate when it comes to ice cream.
On my latest trip here, I found a new flavor I like: green apple. It’s got the scent and tart taste of green apples. It’s refreshing and doesn’t taste artificial flavored like many other soft-​serve yogurt flavors served at other shops, i.e. Yogli Mogli, Yogurt Mountain… and I’ve lost track of the other smaller shops.
Another reason why I prefer Yoforia over Pinkberry is that it’s self-​serve. I can get a mix of flavors in the amounts I want. I’m not at the mercy of someone not putting less of one flavor or too many toppings. Granted, I’ll still be paying for the weight of my yogurt serving.

This place is my «go to» spot for great frozen yogurt. It’s close to where I live, so that makes it awesome.
It’s always clean and never too crowded. I’ve yet to meet a tired and/​or rude staff member there! Always fun and friendly.

I am crazy yogurt fan. frozen or otherwise! Yoforia really disappointed me, they have no innovative flavors apart from the Taro. Toppings are so so. wish they had more interesting options since its right next to my place!

Yogurt on the east coast and the west coast are the same. If you are from LA area, you can compare this place to Yogurtland. The yogurt was good, the machines were clean, and the cashiers were very pleasant. I would come back again. :] ENJOY!

Yoforia is my top choice for yogurt over some of the other chains within the city. I just like the selection of flavors and the available toppings that they have.
I frequent mainly two yoforia locations when I do go out, this one and the one in brookhaven. I do have to say that I believe that this location seems bigger in general but they also have more flavors. Not much more, but about 2 – 3. Which in a sense, is a large selection considering most Yoforia’s only have like 8 flavors to choose from anyways. But recently when I visited this location, they had green tea flavor on tap and I just had to try it out.
My two favorite are the taro and green tea combo, while this may not be most people selected top two, it is for me.
One thing that I’ve found that brings me back to yoforia is that they have mochi (the small, cylindrical tapioca balls that’s dusted in powder) and a bottle of condensed milk. That’s all I eat with my yogurt. I’m not a fan of making my bowl look like what I had for breakfast, but at least the option is there. Most places don’t have mochi and condensed milk so that’s a deal breaker for me.
Plus, this location opens till 10 while the brookhaven closes at 9. I’m always looking for a new spot that’s open late so I might more trips here just for that.

I had passed by Yoforia numerous times on my way to Ormsby’s, and I finally checked it out after dinner on a Monday evening. The green tiles on the walls inside reminded me of a Yogurtland.
Like many froyo places (other than my favorite, Pinkberry), Yoforia is self-​service. They have little sample cups by their cash register, so be sure to grab a few before you head over to the froyo machines if you want to try their different flavors.
I tried a few different flavors, including Watermelon, Pomegranate, and Raspberry Sorbet. Although watermelon is one of my favorite fruits, the Watermelon froyo was overly sweet. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I liked the Pomegranate, which was tart and wasn’t as sweet as the Watermelon. The Raspberry Sorbet contains seeds. I wasn’t a fan of the seeds, but the flavor was decent.
My favorite froyo flavor is original tart. However, I was very disappointed when I saw that the original tart froyo dispenser was broken! They had removed the original tart sign altogether, and I asked the cashier if that was where the original tart is supposed to be. He said yes, and proceeded to tell me that it breaks quite often. Since it is generally one of the most popular flavors, it makes sense that it would break. However, they should do something about it! I didn’t get to try my favorite froyo flavor for my first time at Yoforia! Sadness.
The toppings were pretty standard, and I was super happy to see that they had my favorite topping — mochi! =) I ended up getting a bit of Pomegranate and Raspberry Sorbet and topped it with mochi, mango, and strawberries.
Overall, this Yoforia gets 3 stars because it was an «OK» self-​service froyo place, but I couldn’t believe their original tart dispenser was out of order. They do have a frequent buyer program, but you have to download it on your smartphone. I may return if I happen to be in the area, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to go to a Yoforia over any other froyo place.

Nothing particularly special about this Yoforia other than pretty nice seating outside.
I didn’t like the fact that some of the yogurt machines didn’t have labels. They should really keep an eye on stuff like that. Something as simple and important as that shouldn’t go neglected.
Prefer the Yogurtland places overall.
dmo out.

I hate that Yoforia is now charging $.49/​oz but I still love them anyway. Very much. My favorites today were the mango, banana, taro, and Ferrero Rocher. Least favorite was the raspberry sorbet — first time I’d seen sorbet … I think Yoforia should stick with yogurt.
If you’re huge into sampling like me, you’ll need to ask the cashier — they keep the sample cups behind the counter.
A few 20-​min parking spaces are available in the little street behind Yeah Burger — otherwise there’s free self-​parking available in the garage.

Man, I kind of wish I’d never walked into this place, because I could see it becoming an expensive (and fattening) habit!
If I’m not mistaken, they now charge 49 cents an ounce. They still have a wide variety of flavors that include both tart and non-​tart flavors. I think they swap out a couple of flavors, but the rest stay the same all the time. My favorite has to be taro, though I also enjoy the Ferrero Rocher and Cookies n Cream flavors.
Despite it always being packed, the staff is friendly. On more crowded days, I’ve noticed instead of handing out sample cups, they have one of the employees walk around with a bunch of cups and serve samples if you ask.
The best part about Yoforia is the mochi. They have the best mochi around!

Is the yogurt good? Yeah, it’s alright. It’s doesn’t rock my socks, but it’s alright. Some people like the whole self-​serve thing. I suppose the whole customization and portion control thing is interesting to some folks. But I can’t shake the following thought: «If I’m doing the work, should I be paying this much for ‘alright’ yogurt?»
Still, there are some hard-​working folks here who keep the place clean and stocked. And that’s an important job.

You know when you’re relationship, it comes with the good and bad. I think I hit the bad with Yoforia. Here are a few reasons.
1) If it is a self serve frozen yogurt place, how is it a freaking rule at Yoforia that in order to try a sample that an employee has to serve the sample to you? Seems contradictory and I don’t like it. Yea I know there are the bad apples who taken advantage of the self serve and fill up on free samples so they don’t have to buy it but they should find a different way of preventing it. I’ve been to their other self serve stores when it first opened up and they didn’t do this. I’ve been to Yogurtland in LA (it is also a self serve frozen yogurt place) and they didn’t serve the samples for you. They let you try it on your own. Hence «self serve».
2) Their strawberry flavor frozen yogurt taste like red beans. How did they manage to do that? Strawberry flavor is one of the basic flavors of ice cream, desserts, and sweets and how can they not replicate it? They should call it Red Bean flavor not Strawberry flavor.
3) .49 cents an ounce? Are you kidding me? Yogurtland is in LA and they have more expensive gas and ridiculous rent but they only charge .29 cents an ounce. How is it that in Atlanta is cheaper to live in but they over charge on their froyo? Sounds like eye gouging to me.
Yoforia…I hope you are reading this.

Finally, a Yoforia near me. This latest Atlanta Yoforia opened in December 2010 in the mixed-​use White Provision development in Westside Atlanta. This is the same development that houses Abbatoir, Ormsby’s, and Yeah! Burger. If you’re stopping by just for froyo, you can park in any of the 20 or 30-​minute parking spots that run parallel to this development’s sidewalks. Otherwise, you can park for free in the multistory parking deck.
If you’ve been to one self-​serve Yoforia, you’ve been to them all. This one has seating capacity for 21 people inside and 12 people outside — yes, I actually counted. The outside seating consists of three tables for four. The flavors that were available when I last went included:
Original (tart)
Pomegranate
Mango
Pineapple
Honeydew
Ferrero Rocher (Italian chocolate brand)
Taro
Cheesecake
Cookies & cream
Peanut butter
Dark chocolate
Vanilla bean
Typically, my favorite froyo flavors are original and taro. Here, it’s taro and pomegranate. Both are sweet, light, and silky smooth. I have to admit, I’m disappointed in the original flavor here. It compares unfavorably to other originals around the city — too sour, icy, and lumpy. Lumpy froyo = fail.
The froyo plus toppings is 39 cents an ounce (pretty standard) and they offer many dry and fruit toppings at this location. The inside is clean and the employees are friendly and helpful. I was tempted to give this place three stars because of the bad original flavor froyo, but they seemed to excel in everything else, so four stars it is.

It’s bright. It’s colorful. It’s clean. Oh, and they serve frozen yogurt. Lots of different types and they’re all self-​serve. Personally, I prefer when someone else measures it for me. Apparently I have trouble gauging what an ounce of froyo looks like despite my keen sense of measurement when it comes to other things.
There’s nothing really special about this location except that it’s new and convenient.
I did, however, realize that there is a difference between regular gummy bears (served here) and organic ones (served at Pinkberry). I prefer the organic ones.

There was a slight mix-​up with the afternoon’s activities, and we had an hour or so to kill. So when it was suggested that we go get ice cream, I immediately thought of Honeydew flavored Yoforia, and suggested that we check out the new one on the Westside.
I was shocked by how many people were there at 4pm on a cold Saturday, but the sun was out, and this is by Tech, so I should’ve have known.
Unfortunately for me, no honeydew flavor at this location. Also the who serving area is slightly cramped, particularly when crowded. And since I only get the fruit toppings instead of the sweets, I noticed that the sweet toppings (gummy candies, chocolates, cookies) took up way more counter space than the fruit. Also, some of the fruit didn’t look very fresh, but considering that it’s February, I shouldn’t be too picky. Also, they had craisins on the fruit topping bar.
Props to this Yoforia for recycling paper and cups, though I felt a little weird throwing away some fruit that I’d dropped on the floor in the same container when I couldn’t find the trash can.

Yay for self-​serve Yoforia on the Westside! The Morningside location is closer to my abode, but since I find myself out and about in this neck of woods quite often, I’m happy to have this here. If you’re lucky you can nab one of the 20 minute parking spots right out front: bonus!
They have a *ton* of selection when it comes to yogurt flavors, whether you fancy the tart kind as I prefer or the more sweet stuff. The taro flavor was a little chalky this time around, but I figure it’s just a fluke as the taro I’ve had from other Yoforias has always been on-​point. And the pomegranate was as delish as ever.
Bummed to see no raspberries on the toppings lineup, but given the season I can forgive them for it. Also noticed that the back row of toppings is really tricky to reach without getting up under the sneeze guard, and I could imagine it’d be impossible for the kiddos. Not a huge deal as there was someone to help out, but the mochi was in the back and after saying «erm, a little more» to the cashier for the 10^th time I was embarassed to say it again, although I totally could have used more. What? I love mochi.
Total bill was $ 3something, which is really phenomenal for such a delicious and filling treat. I’ll be back. Often.
