Snow House Yogurt

Worst tasting frozen yogurt I’ve had in Austin and it is full of artificial ingredients (flavors and colors.) Berry Austin, Yogurtland, and Yogertz all have better tasting yogurt in my opinion.

As expected, Snow House offers a ton of flavors and a ton of toppings. What may not be expected, however, is just how good those flavors are. The caramel gelato, in particular, is out of this world — sweet and buttery and delicious, it’s hard to believe that it came out of a soft serve dispenser. The green tea and coconut were also standouts. And, they have crushed Kit Kats, which is pretty much the perfect ice cream topping.

Wow, their Tart is even KOSHERED !!!
(Not sure the rest are Koshered or not…)
Plus, cupcake, coffee, and smoothies…
You rock, Snow House Yogurt.

I really enjoyed my experience here at Snow House Yogurt. Got to try them out thanks to a Groupon. Here’s the lowdown:
1. Large area w/​tables spaced out, and outside seating, plenty of room.
2. Love the yogurt selection! So many varieties to choose from, and some unique flavors too like Taro Root which was pretty good!
3. Try before you buy! I just love that. Minimizes the risk in getting something you may not be as fond of, problem is I had to work hard to narrow down my choices.
4. Self serve. It can be a good thing or a bad thing, but when you’re mixing yogurts and combinations you can control what and how much you want.
5. Tons of toppings. Also self serve, there’s so much to choose and — again, I had to work hard to widdle down my choices cuz there’s a lot of good stuff.
6. Excellent and courteous customer service! The owners were here, she was very polite and helpful in walking us through the process and experience. Very eager to please.
7. Quality product. The yogurt is quality here, she explained how some ingredients are shipped in from Italy and are authentic, nothing fake here. And the toppings are also clean, fresh, and high quality as well. Definitely perfect for the palate.
My finished mini yogurt bucket was reasonably priced, however, I can see how one could easily get out of hand here w/​the amount of freedom you have. It would be nice to have smaller sized containers (there were only 2 there: large and extra large, not sure if they ran out) to help control that, but then again, who wants to be controlled around all this good stuff? LOL!
This is a place I definitely recommend, a bit off the beaten path for some of you urbanites but it’s also nice and quiet so we were able to enjoy our yogurt concoctions in peace. Then you could take a nap — — I’m sure they wouldn’t mind.

I do not know where these ‘great yogurt, best in Austin’ reviews are coming from. We visit MANY, many yogurt places in town and even though I can easily rank them and from one bite can discren terrific yogurt from ‘meh’ yogurt, we are still forgiving people and still can enjoy just ok yogurt usually… BUT this was the worst yogurt we’ve had in Austin. It tasted just flat out artificial. Had the Strawberry and Cookies and Cream and I actually found I was avoiding the Cookies and Cream in my cup and just finishing off the strawberry to not be wasteful. Even the strawberry reminded me of some type of artificial ‘frozen dessert’, not yogurt, And since when is Cookies and Cream dark brown in color?
Four of their flavors were «out of service». Counter staff not all that friendly either.
With so many other really good and flat out terrific yogurt shops (Yogurtland)) why would you come here?

We’ve been here a couple of times and the yogurt is completely decent. They have a number of toppings to choose from.
The last time we went there, we were checking out and both owners were working the register. The guy farted (silently) and walked to the back. It was a pretty nasty one. Well, I’m not 100% sure it was him, but it wasn’t me, wasn’t my wife, and we were the only two in the store besides the owners. Based on my keen understanding of human nature, I’m pretty sure it was the owner who walked off right before it started smelling. Anyways, my wife refuses to go back after this.
So…Mr. Owner… if you’re reading this: Walk to the back, and then fart. Not the other way around.

I’m too tired to write creatively tonight, so I’ll just cut to the chase. The counter guy wasn’t very friendly. Not that he has to be, but when your yogurt shop is a ghost town, a little southern charm wouldn’t hurt.
Honestly, my real complaint was that the yogurt was just plain bad. I hate trashing anybody, b/​c that’s just not my character. But, I don’t see how anybody could give this place more than 2-​stars, unless this is your first time tasting frozen yogurt. ALL of the yogurts were runny for starters. While a couple of the flavors were edible (mango & blueberry), others were plain disgusting. I’ve literally never thrown away a tasting-​cup that wasn’t empty. But, I had to trash my tasting cups for roasted almond, cookie dough, cookies & cream, and espresso. I tried everything they had, and flavor wise, the best of the bunch was mango, which would rate a 3 out of 5.
For the money, I recommend YogurtLand & Yummilicous. YogurtLand is also cheaper, at $.35/​oz vs $.42/​oz for Snow House Yogurt. I’ve never had anything at either place that wasn’t a 3 – 5 out of 5. They’re all good to great.
p. s. If you do attempt to eat yogurt at Snow House, stop in next door at the NeWorld Café. PHENOMENAL sandwiches!!!

Tried a number of their flavors today and they are very good. What I like about this place is that all of the flavors taste like yogurt and are not too sweet like many other places and have a good texture that isn’t like ice milk that some places try to pass off. Also they have 8 machines cranking 16 flavors.
They also sell soft serve gelato and sugar free mixes as well as sorbet /​sherbert flavors. There are a lot to choose from and they are all made fresh daily. Their flavors are well blended, not too over powering but not too weak where all you taste is yogurt. They also have small, med and large cups (I wish all places had small cups for when I take my kids)
$.42 per ounce.
Here are the flavors I remember having
— Cookie dough — more like a sugar cookie dough, this was my favorite
— Roasted Almond also very good
— Peanut Butter — just a hint of peanut butter.
— Mint Gelato — was also very good, probably my 2^nd fav flavor
— Chocolate — has a good flavor, I find Chocolate hard to pull off in yogurt.
— Pumpkin — was good but a little tart compared to others. I was told it was made with orgnic pumpkins — cool.
— Cheesecake — was also a little tart.
My only suggestion was to include another flavor with the pumpkin for the holidays like eggnog or candycane or?
I like a place that takes pride in their product and this place certainly does wth lots of selection. Great hidden gem!

Was very excited to discover this frozen yogurt place right down the street. I haven’t quite jumped on to the froyo craze (give me my full-​calorie, deliciously creamy ice cream most any day), but I like that when I’m craving something sweet I can assuage some of my guilt by getting the healthy alternative.
Just been here once, but got a fair amount of frozen yogurt+ brownies, oreos, almonds and strawberries (yes, I can hear your protest about how I’m undoing all the benefits of the healthy choice.) for about $ 3.50. They had a more than adequate selection of flavors, including some sugar free and some gelato. I got the cheesecake, the peanut butter and the roasted almond. All were fantastic and the peanut butter was very natural tasting.
Cute décor and open late. Will probably frequent this place often.

I’d thought of several ways to approach this, but I think it comes down to this: If you’re in the Far West area and you’re in the mood for froyo, Snow House is as good as anywhere else.
There’s a big « Unilocal loves us» decal on the door, the interior is pleasant and fun, and there’s apparently WiFi access, but I didn’t try it since I only whip out my phone when people I’m with start playing on theirs. Right offhand, I think there were less toppings available than other places, but that’s all subjective — do you really use all of them at once? Several of their toppings appeared homemade, like the combination jellies and brownies, and all the containers were full and the fruit looked fresh.
As far as the froyo itself goes, I’m the wrong person to ask: I wound up getting little squirts of three or four different flavors with a few brownie bits, and it pretty much blended together into a mass of cold stuff with brownies, but that’s what I like. That’s just my particular thing, incidentally, so don’t hold that against them.
I do wonder how Snow House will fare among the players in Austin’s froyo landscape — is their target market that school across the street or the apartment complexes off Greystone? I really hope they do well. This whole area around Far West is an interesting section of Austin that I’m not familiar with, and it always struck me as its own self-​sufficient entity. I’ll just bring my passport up here now and then and stop by for their froyo.

Best Frozen Yogurt in ATX.
Tried many places and will make a 20 min drive just for Snow House.
Fresh ingredients. Good Flavors. All of the products TASTE LIKE YOGURT!

It wasn’t bad, but I don’t think it was all that good.
The cheesecake tasted like some sort of fruity ice cream. And it wasn’t a lemon like you might suspect.
The chocolate was overly chocolate. I know that sounds like I have gone loopy, but it was. I love chocolate, too! It was kinda a deep flavor.
The yogurt did have a great consistency! Not icy crystaly at all.
The toppings were fine. The Cap’t Crunch I think saved my mix of goo (I made it a goo. That wasn’t their fault. I generally love goo!).
I will say for $ 15 for 2 people, it was a bit pricey. Way a bit pricey!
The lady was super nice except she followed up around then stood behind the toppings as we tried to put them on. It was a bit Seinfeld Close Talker almost. But, thank goodness she did because I probably would have overdone it more with the toppings. She was really nice, though.
I truly would have enjoyed a Frosty from the Wendy’s more than this. But, it was good. I don’t want to give it 2 stars because that seems mean. It was a bit meh, but I haven’t had better because I’ve never been to a make it yourself yogurt place. So, I go 3. I would try other kinds. And they did have lots of toppings. So, give it a go. Besides, there is nothing else on that side of town.
All in all, half good, nice staff, bright and shiny place. And they were open on the July 4^th!

:(This is the face I made when I went back for that delicious almond frozen yogurt and it wasn’t the same!
The first time it was a beautiful tan color with rich, creamy, roasted almond flavor. The second time – barely off-​white and completely lacking that flavor I was craving!
Minus one star for inconsistency.

I really wanted to love this place. My office is right across the street and it would be a perfect place for a Friday afternoon treat. Unfortunately, it fell short.
The space itself it cute. Great seating area and ambiance. The guy working the counter was laid back and nice as well.
However, the yogurt and toppings were lacking. I suppose if I went back I could find something that suited my fancy a little more. But this time around I got Cake Batter with a healthy dose of Heath bars, caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, Oreos and chocolate chips (don’t judge me). I was about to put Reeses PB cups on until I realized they were not Reeses PB cups, they were Reeses Whips. WTF Snow House?
The yogurt was a little watery for my taste. I ended up eating the toppings and a small amount of the froyo and throwing the rest out. :(
Maybe next time will prove to be better…

When we first started to frequent this place, I was totally thrilled. I would have happily dished out a 5-​star review. The place is clean, the staff is the most friendly and helpful EVER (seriously, love them), the location couldn’t be more convenient for me, AND they take my Go Local card, major bonus points! Like I said… thrilled.
It wasn’t until our last few visits here that I started to notice something funny about the actual frozen yogurt itself. The flavors seem to be absorbing flavors from their dispenser-​buddy flavors. For example, the Coconut and Green Mint gelato flavors are next to each other in the dispenser, and I’ve noticed that the Coconut does taste a little minty. Same for the Cake Batter tasting slightly like Cookie Dough. Nothing that can’t be overlooked when you’re happily cooling off with some froyo on a hot summer evening. Just a minor annoyance.
Otherwise, love this place. Wish they had a few more flavors of frozen yogurt, but I love that they have a few gelato and dairy-​free flavors as well. I suppose it’s a fair trade off.

Been here twice now, and it’s been excellent both times. Flavors and toppings seem to rotate, which is great. First time I had blueberry and tiramisu, and the second time I had pomegranate and green tea!
Also gotta say that the decorating’s great, it’s very kid-​friendly yet relaxed, the price is good, and the employees seem very nice and very patient. Overall there really isn’t a single thing I can complain about, so I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I get the craving.

I stopped into Snow House yesterday because I needed something to eat that was quick, and I wanted something cold. It’s right around the corner from my office, and it’s silly that I didn’t walk.
The flavors have a lot of variety (no «cake batter» here, which is fine by me), and I really loved the non-​dairy pink grapefruit. I mixed it with a little mango yogurt, and topped with some coconut and almonds.
And then it turned out I didn’t have my wallet. Wah-​wah. Well, the owner said «just pay me next time» and was so sweet.
So today I went back (drove again, bad me) because I knew something cold would help my headache. This time I got choco-​vanilla swirl with Heath and choco syrup. Headache is about 95% gone, and it was delish.

Came into Snow House with a friend about 45 minutes prior to closing time and was so happy that we did! The two women working tonight were incredibly nice, the yogurt was really tasty (They have TARO! Freakin’ nom.) and plenty of flavors to choose from, and there’s free wi-​fi! Not to mention, (p)leather barrel chairs and a squishy ottoman to set my feet on… yes, please.
Another mention of the staff, because a family of 6 came in about 5 minutes before closing, yet Vivian (sp?) and crew didn’t miss a beat and were so nice… it’s always nice to see such friendly and gracious service.
In general, good feelings from this place. I could see this being great for families, college students and neighbors wanting free wi-​fi + yogurt, and for business-​people needing a quick yogurt pick-​me-​up during a lunch break.
All I can say is, it’s dangerous how close to my apartment this is…

Visited this place last night after my wife expressed a craving for Frozen YOGURT!
Walked in to a sparsely decorated business and immediately faced a wall of frozen yogurt choices. Standards (vanilla and chocolate) were flanked by orange, cherry, blackberry, and some flavors I had never heard of.
I sampled a few of the flavors. they were all very light, smooth, and tasty. After selecting Togar (I can’t remember if that’s right. I never heard of it before), I stepped up to the toppings bar.
OMG. THEY HAVE MOSHI! YUM YUM YUM! I put some moshi and cheesecake and Walnuts and Twix on the yogurt. Next time I’ll skip the cheesecake, as it didn’t go so well with the Togar (or whatever), but the rest was amazing!
Wife got Chocolate and Peanut butter (she let me try the chocolate– I’m not a huge fan of frozen chocolate stuff, but this was really good!) with a whole bunch of different toppings.
Talked to the owner for a few minutes. She was very nice and helpful and made recommendations of flavors to try next time we came in.
We Will be back, as it’s very close to where we live!
Total price was about $ 9.50 for the two of us, but Wife had plenty left over and put it in the freezer for later :-) I ate all mine cuz I’m a fat ass :-P
PS– they have free Wi-​Fi and a couple of small tables and couches/​chairs here too.

The name evoked images of snow balls, igloos and huskies at this serve yourself frozen yogurt and add toppings place located conveniently on Far West. We were invited to sample as much as we wanted so I took them literally and filled little cups with every flavor except the one labeled «Tart». I’m not a fan of tart.
I especially enjoyed the blueberry, vanilla, chocolate, tiramisu and peanut butter. A small swirl of blueberry went great with fresh mango cubes and sliced almonds. My goal going in was to eat light and this did it for me. No gummy bears, chocolate chips, or other candy went on top of my little mound.
Of course the hubby had to show me up by mixing large swirls of the chocolate and peanut butter then sprinkling on a huge dose of crushed Butterfinger candy. It was a great combination and tasted delicious. For both of us it was only $ 4.99.
Even though we took our frozen concoctions with us the various seating areas were inviting, with leather sofas, tables for four and a small child’s table. A bit of a hodge podge as far as style goes but all the furniture fits nicely in the space.
