Love Yogurt

We have been here twice. They have had some unique flavors both times (apple pie, cinnamon roll?). I didn’t appreciate either of those but some of the others were very good (root beer float, cookies and cream). They have lots of sugar-​free, low fat, and nonfat options. Seems to be a pretty good deal for what you pay. I believe the price per ounce here is less than Yogurtland or Tutti Frutti. Overall a good place.

We forget about Love Yogurt sometimes, but are always happy when we get here. The yogurt is creamy. Not icy like some of the other places in town. They have a variety of toppings. They also play the local Christian radio station 88.3 KAXL. Nice to see business owners not be ashamed to show their faith.

I’ve stopped in here before, but it was at least 8 months or more ago. This experience was a 4 rather than the 3 the last one rated (snotty teen behind the counter, yogurt was kind of gritty, fruit was not ripe)
Yesterday, I tried tart, banana, and Hawaiian passion. All were delicious and the strawberries and mangos that I put on top were fresh. My daughter, who waited in the car, actually said, «that’s some fresh fruit!» Then demanded a bite — she didn’t realize this place was right by our house! The gentleman working the register was very pleasant and everything inside was very clean.
I sent my daughter on a froyo run this evening and they actually close at 9, not 10. So she had to dash to Tutti Frutti unfortunately.

Place was cool and clean good product courteous service. I enjoyed it, I will return, if you are looking for freebees or are a freeloader this is not the place. It good quiet and clean.

This place is awsome I will definitely be going back”!

Very disappointed with the freshness and quality of the toppings. Customer service, quality and overall selections have substantially declined with transfer of management and/​or ownership.

Pro’s
They do offer a incentive program that works similar to a buy ten 10 and get (1) one free when you collect stamps.
We will likely NOT be returning.
Store smelled better! Still miss the prior former, friendly owner! As he has sold the company and the new owners are not as wonderful.

I really wanted to give this place an excellent rating, but I just can’t. They used to be really good a couple years ago, but the past couple times I’ve been have disappointed me.
Today my son and I went for a special treat. I chose the french vanilla yogurt and my son got the chocolate. The yogurt itself tasted so good, the toppings… not so much. I came home and was so excited to eat! I bit into a piece of the pineapple and it LITERALLY tasted like it had been soaking in tequila. I have no idea why, and I really wouldn’t like to know, but it gave me an instant stomach ache. The strawberries tasted a little off as well.
Other than the fruit it was alright. The girl at the counter was also a little snobbish, but what more can you expect from a teenage girl, right?

First off what kind of fro yo place doesn’t offer tasting cups? The first time I came here I had the cookies and cream and didn’t even bother asking if I could taste it first. The second time I didn’t even order anything. The machine were all blinking indicating they needed to be cleaned. The owner was cleaning some right then and there. Not sure why tbis couldn’t be done before they opened. It was super cheesey. Tutti Frutti and Yogurt Land are far superior and cleaner.

Love Yogurt
I didn’t want to love the yogurt. I didn’t even want to set foot in the store. I“m a regular at the Albertsons next door and I’ve seen the large sign that advertises $.39/​ounce — certainly not the cheapest serve yourself frozen yogurt store in town. And then there is the name. Love Yogurt? Really? You feel so sure I’m going to love you that you actually put it in the name? Pressure much?
It’s like when someone tells you they love you — waaaay too early in the relationship. and there’s this pause… like they really want you to say it back. You might have eventually said it, felt it, but they’ve jumped the gun and made you feel pressured to say it… and some of us just don’t react well under pressure. Maybe I’m a rebel at heart or I just don’t like doing everything that is expected of me. Frankly, the only reason I went in there was because it’s just about the only frozen yogurt place in town I haven’t Unilocaled, even though I wasn’t expecting to give it more than 2 stars. Boy was I surprised.
It is set up like most self-​serve yogurt places in town; you get your own cup, choose and serve yourself your own favorite flavors of yogurt, add your own toppings, and then are charged based on weight. (They lose a few points on the classiness scale because not only did they NOT have tasting cups out, but an amateurish sign states that there will be a $ 2 charge if you waste product or damage the cups — wth?)
There are twelve different flavors to choose from, and the signage for each tells you how many calories they are per ounce. This particular day, the choices I remembered were tart, chocolate, pink lemonade (?), cookies & cream, peanut butter gold, cake batter, raspberry pomegranate, pralines, coconut cream, pumpkin, and tart cranberry orange carrot.
Pumpkin? Tart cranberry orange carrot? Now they’d piqued my curiosity! I finally settled on pumpkin, pralines, and peanut butter on one side, raspberry pomegranate, tart cranberry orange carrot, and coconut on the other, separated by a ribbon of tart yogurt. I started with the pumpkin — nice flavor balance of the pumpkin and the pumpkin pie spice flavors. Coconut Cream tasted like toasted coconut, so maybe I remembered the name wrong? Still, it was good. Pralines and raspberry pomegranate were pretty good, too.
The standout flavor was the tart cranberry orange carrot. I chose it just because it seemed such an odd combo, though somehow it worked. With each bite I tried to identify each of the component flavors. When I tried to focus on the cranberry, it soon became all I could taste. When I focused on the orange the same thing happened — also with the carrot. The closest I can come to explaining the combo is to reference the Bolthouse or Odwalla juices/​nectars/​smoothies, or something one might find at a Beyond Juice or Jamba Juice.
They had 12 different fruity/​cheesecakey toppings, and they might have had more dry toppings, can’t remember — too busy texting a friend about movie night plans while I was there to recall clearly ;)
My father once looked into owning his own yogurt store. He told me there were very few companies that produced the yogurt mixes and even fewer that produced the machines. All the difference in flavor from one store to another were due to how much of each they used and the texture was due to how they calibrated the machines to add in gas? air? I’ll edit this once I’ve checked with my father to see how much I got right. Anyway, they obviously have the right settings because the texture was good on all of them, although one flavor had a slightly grainier texture at first — though it wasn’t unpleasant.
I would have given them 5 stars if 1) the cost per ounce was lower 2) they had more toppings, and 3) they hadn’t had the dang sign up. Yogurtland and Tutti Frutti offer me tasting cups at no charge — why do you want to charge me if I don’t fit your image of how a proper yogurt customer behaves (baaaaaa, show me which line to stand in to choose my flavors blindly with no taste testing baaa)
When I’m nearby, I’ll definitely stop in again, but I’m not sure I’d drive past Tutti Frutti or Yogurtland to get here. Just keeping it real, folks.
But then this is the season for pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin pies, and possibly pumpkin yogurt, so who knows?
P. S. When I got to my friend’s house, she told me they don’t accept credit or atm cards — paid cash this time so I’m not really sure.
UPDATE: I’ve been back several times since then, and yes — this place is DEFINITELY growing on me! The yogurt tastes so rich and creamy, and they cycle through flavors keeping everything exciting. I hear tell they will be adding eggnog and gingerbread flavors for the holidays. Yummmmm!
