Yolo Berry Yogurt

I have only gotten frozen yogurt before once in my life, so I would keep that in mind… but I really liked this place. They had so much to choose from topping wise, and a decent selection of flavors (even some dairy free). I was pretty into the pistachio. And yes! It’s back open!

Not too sweet and healthier than other frozen yogurt. The people who work there are nice as well

It is a very nice place with many different topping options. The yogurt is not too sweet that is always one of my concerns. The location is great just off the BART station and the price is pretty reasonable. I will sure go there more :)

I wouldn’t recommend coming here, and I only came here because my dance team AFX was hosting a fundraiser here.
Upon walking in, the smell of Clorox/​cleaning chemicals almost made me want to walk out.
The yogurt melts really quickly, especially while you’re waiting to pay. It’s also expensive (48¢/oz).
I thought the froyo didn’t have a nice consistency, since it kept melting, and that just ruined the whole taste.
The flavors were not bad, since they did have dole whip and tart, which tasted okay.
They don’t offer as many yogurt flavors as most other places like Yogurtland or Menchies. But they make up for it with the big stash of toppings they have.

I went there again today because I had to use up those groupons I bought. I didn’t think it could get worse. The weather was warmer this time (mid 70s) and almost all of the froyo CAME OUT LIKE WATER LUMPS. The handles are hard to use, you have to push all the way down for anything to come out but once it’s down it squirts out like crazy. All the flavors tasted similar and the fruit toppings area is swarmed with fruit flies YUCK. I ended up just getting a baggy for granola and chocolate raisins to use up the groupon. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL

I dont even know why the new owner of cultive even took over yoloberry. There business was good in SF! Managers a bitch (Daisy). Old manager kept things in place and fruits were fresh. Toppings nasty!!!

Store is disgusting, for your own health GO TO YOUGURTLAND its right down the street at shattuck and kittridge TWO BLOCKS away.
The store had flies swarming out of the toppings containers, and some of them looked half rotten, I can only imagine how infrequently the machines are cleaned. I highly recommend you avoid this place for your own safety.

YOLO — you only live once, so do yourself a favor and skip this establishment!
They lack in variety in yogurt flavors and it was extremely warm in here. Most of the toppings had melted, and the fruits had a bunch of fruit flies circling around them!
For the price you pay per ounce, you are better off at pinkberry or yogurt land.

Yolo Berry had tons of topping flavors but not many yogurt flavors. Some of the toppings looked old and stale but other than that a cute clean shop.

Yogurt was entirely melted, and the person working there, who was an entirely new level of rude, showed no concern whatsoever for the potential health risks and said that I was free to go to another yogurt shop. Also added, charmingly, that he didn’t care if anyone got ill from the yogurt since it’s the owner’s responsibility, not his.

Yolo Berry Yogurt may have a silly name, but it also has more yogurt toppings than any other frozen yogurt shop I’ve been to. Period. Unfortunately the yogurts themselves are only passable or worse, the green apple in particular tasted like a melted jolly rancher, but the plain tart was icy and only a bit too sweet. However, as long as you’re ok with plain tart, the toppings bar is a fun chance to dress up your frozen yogurt either in candy, which there must have been at least 30 or so kinds of, including traditional favorites, like oreo crumbs, to more experimental offerings, like candy lego bricks and carmel crunch topping. The fruit toppings were equally diverse. And there are both cold and hot liquid toppings that I’ve not seen elsewhere including an apple pie topping, caramel sauce mixed with pecans, and hot peanut butter sauce. A fun place to go when what you’re craving are sweet toppings with a little bit of yogurt on the side.

Yolo Berry’s shop was literally HOT! felt like 90 in there. no noticeable décor. beyond signs implying yogurt is healthy. (no facts posted)

2.5 stars

Time: 1:37pm/62°F cloudy
Purpose: Needed to be in Berkeley area today as I was kinda slacking of yesterday due to Giant’s parade and Halloween. Just trying to catch up on business contacts todays.
Ambiance: Place is all about frozen yogurt. A five table 2 – 4 person seater with one table reserved for wheelchair access. Back wall feature 4 flush mounter yogurt machines with digital LCD displaying temperature of each one. Each has 3 handle for separating flavor or even combine the the two. Another section in the corner pantry cabinet with 7 containers that resembles soup warmers with ladles holds warm melting liquid fruit flavor purée. Kiosk stand opposite side holds 16 toppings and squeezable artificial flavor syrup, Lyon brand. Bulk candy section you have 28 variety flavors on the bottom and 60 small containers on top also fill with higher price toppings. Counter is a wide open space but nothing on it except for left over Halloween candies in pumpkin containers, 2 iPads, digital scale and stacks of sample cups/​spoons.
Staff: One girl about mid 20s with glasses, sandy blonde curly hair. She was doing something in the back as when I walk in there was no one to be found. After 3 minutes passes then she appears. I can do at lot of stuffing within that 3 mins luckily she had the right person in there or else. She seems piss off from the moment she saw me and another kid. Not sure if she’s owner or not. Didn’t bother to know and certainly didn’t ask if she was.
Cleanliness: Grade A, very clean as for a yogurt shop it better be. Machines in working order warmers were working warm to the touch and even stir up a couple of flavors.
Eats/​Drinks: Didn’t get anything on this visit. It was too cold for a treat maybe later on or next time.
Products/​Services: Frozen yogurt, 8 weekly flavors, $.48¢ per oz, no unlimited topping, bulk candies/​nuts, no kids deals, warm to hot fruit purée, whipped cream (in aerosol cans), flavor syrups, go by weight, 10 person seater to capacity, takes CC’s/debits, weekly flavors, not sire if theres a loyalty card.
Punch Lines: Clean, new, pricey, not so friendly staff, low grade toppings, toppings are standard convience store type like Sather’s bags, 8 choices to choose from, seasonal flavors comes and goes without replenishing, downtown Berkeley, student discount with proper ID, accessible by Bart/​AC transit, lots of foot traffic, hot days is busy while cold days just the opposite.
Tradeoffs: No posted prices enticing you to fill cup to the limit then charging amusement park prices to the unsuspecting customers.
Final Thoughts: As a kid I hated buying bulk and even to this day I still hate it. There are some things that must be bought in bulk but not frozen yogurt. This poor lady didn’t know and loaded her cup came out to $ 14.73 I said dam for that price I could’ve bought 3 – 4 pints of Lifeway Kiefer frozen yogurt at Whole foods. Lesson learn here or anywhere else if the prices are not posted keep walking chances are it’s too much and business knows it themselves.

I was so hyped for this place! I was in Davis when OG Yolo opened up and it was the best. So when I first moved to Berkeley, I noticed this right by the BART entrance in May with signs saying opening Spring 2014. That was May, so I (wrongly) assumed it would be opened soon. Spring came and passed. Summer came and passed. Fall came and…
YOLOBERRY opened! Yay!
So I went last night to check it out. Not a lot of people there, it was pretty empty, a huge contrast to the Davis one. I think they are still working out some kinks b/​c the yogurt was very watery and not creamy/​solid enough. I pointed that out to the employee while we were chatting. She was super nice and ended up running the machines and getting the yogurt that had been there for a bit out. But ultimately, it didn’t improve it a whole lot. So hopefully they can work out some kinks, and start making yogurt to perfection soon.

WOW there are a ton of toppings! I had a seriously tough time trying to decide what to put in my yogurt. So many things to choose from. Definitely worth coming here multiple times to try out some different combos.
The yogurt is pretty good quality, the richer flavors were nice and creamy and the fruitier flavors were really refreshing. As soon as I walked in the cashier offered me a bunch of sample cups and I got to try the pink lemonade, cheesecake, and chocolate flavors.
I was in a fruity mood so I grabbed a pink lemonade + original tart combo and covered up my frozen yogurt with nerds, mochi, strawberry, and mango. Delicious.
The yogurt is solid and the topping selection is awesome. One downside is that it’s pricier than most places I’ve been to, $ 0.48 per ounce. Still worth the occasional visit though, since they have some toppings you most likely won’t be able to find anywhere else!

Great flavors and amazing toppings!
