Yopop Frozen Yogurt

The froyo here is really tasty. Waaay better than Sweet Frogs. I only wish they had more unique toppings. People that work here are really friendly.

Very solid self-​serve frozen yogurt shop, and one of the only ones in Chapel Hill. There are lots of flavors (around 12 if I remember correctly) and loads of toppings, from fresh fruit, to brownies, to popping boba and mochi bites. (Tip: I love adding whipped cream to my cup because it adds lots of volume and flavor without the additional weight ;)) However, I’ve been going to Yopop ever since it opened around 5 – 6 years ago, and the flavors have remained pretty much the exact same since then. Usually self-​serve fro-​yo places switch up their flavors seasonally, monthly, or even weekly, but it’s been years, and Yopop has had the same selection. While mango and pineapple seemed like really cool and unique flavors 5 years back, they’re getting kind of old now, especially since Yopop is within walking distance to my house and I go there every time I come back to Chapel Hill.
One thing that Yopop has done in recent times is add bubble tea and smoothies to their menu. Though I haven’t had the smoothies yet, I can definitely speak a little about the bubble tea. There are lots of flavors, including fruity ones meaning that Yopop definitely uses a powder to make their tea (rather than real, brewed tea). My sister and I ordered the Strawberry and Jasmine milk bubble teas respectively. She asked for hers regular sweetness, and I asked for mine with less sugar… however, when we got our teas, there was definitely not a difference between the sweetness of the two drinks. Not sure if they just forgot to alter the sweetness or if they just couldn’t change the sweetness level, but either way, the bubble teas were both way too sugary for me. As with all powdered bubble teas, I found the drink a little too powdery, especially as you got to the bottom of the drink. The bubbles themselves were not chewy enough for my liking, but they were still edible. I would love to find a place in the Triangle that serves up some stellar bubble tea, but I have yet to find it.
I still love taking an evening walk on a hot, summer day to Yopop and getting a refreshing cup of tart fro-​yo with fresh fruit toppings and whipped cream. Don’t expect anything too spectacular, but Yopop sure can hit the spot when you’re in the mood.

Excellent flavors and fresh toppings. Very nice owners with great customer service! My wife and I come here a couple times each month and love this frozen yoghurt! Nice place to hang out after a movie at timberline or Chelsea theatre.

A great neighborhood yogurt shop. They have small the regular flavors plus a few extras like strawberry cheesecake (I wouldn’t recommend the taro flavor). Lots of different toppings to choose from. I’m pretty sure they’ll have anything you’re looking for.
The cups are large and extra large. It can be deceptive sometimes and I usually over serve myself. As long as you’re conscious of this, you can keep the price down and also not waste.
The room is decorated nicely. Fun chairs to sit in with space for several groups. There’s also seating outside which is where I usually choose. I’ll bring my dog and we can both enjoy being outside!
The woman who usually works the counter is so nice. I came in one day and we were the only ones there and she struck up a conversation with us.
Make sure to get their rewards card! Helps take a dollar or two off the bill.

This isn’t my favorite place for fro-​yo (the honors go to Moonberries in Durham), but this place isn’t bad. I like their toppings more than the actual fro-​yo. None of the flavors particularly stick out for me, but I like that they have multiple flavors of popping boba and little mochi cakes.

Whenever I go to Yopop, I am always greeted with a friendly smile… even when it’s the end of a busy day. They have yummy flavors — cake batter is my favorite — and plenty of toppings. They are very attentive and love taking care of their customers. Good service is so rare. I had to get on here and give them a great review.

Yopop was very clean and accessible. I was able to taste the flavor combos before committing. Nice assortment of toppings. Pay cash, it’s better for small businesses!

awesome price! it has variety of toppings and flavors. very nice interior design.
it is the most reasonable price for yogurt ive ever seen!
loved original and taro !
very friendly employees as well
i paid $ 8.00 for a cup at tutti and frog but only paid $ 5 here with same amount!
visit here and u wont regret

Yeah, they have taro! It’s sometimes a little harder to find that flavor out here. Plus they also had mochi balls. Maybe those are more popular in California, but other yogurt places leave more of the creative flavors out. This place is super popular in the warm evenings for families and dogs alike. Plenty of outdoor seating to relax at. There’s two movie theatres close by and a bunch of restaurants to chose from. At 47 cents an ounce is a little expensive though.

So apparently I will pay $ 10 for a cup of yogurt. But the decks were stacked against me by offering one size of cup which pretty much begged me to fill it up and then have an ample topping bar. They had about 8 different yogurt flavors that I layered and then added 4 topping and hot fudge enough that the owner took a step back when I walked up. I weighed it and bam I bit the bullet and paid it telling myself that I’d bring some home for my daughter. Not likely.
I didn’t eat it all and it was too melty to drive to balance it in the car. But I did enjoy it and would go back again but seriously could use some smaller servings.
It’s very clean in here and I felt comfortable serving myself and not getting norovirus. Much nicer than Frozia.

It’s a nice, clean place and I really, really like the Taro flavor. It’s rich and creamy, and you can serve as much as you want. Prices is reasonable, would definitely recommend this place.

Staff here is very nice and I really like their favors, but they are a bit overpriced. I also wish they offered different size bowls so I didn’t go overboard every time I go in! It would also be nice if they would break up toppings so you don’t have to get a whole peanut butter cup or brownie if you just want a little bit. Overall pretty good if you’re in that area and want froyo, but there are better yogurt shops in Chapel Hill (Yogurt Pump or even Sweet Frog), in my opinion. One thing Yopop has over these others, however, is a parking lot!

5 stars for price, ambiance, and food — I don’t care about the service here, which is basically negligible since your only interaction is to pay in cash. There’s not really much they can do in terms of making service better, anyway :) (That said, the cashier was quiet and nice, and indulged us when I asked him if he knew our friend, who has an affiliation with the store).
I don’t know what it is about froyo places, but they tend to be bright, modern, and ergonomic. Yopop is no exception; the chairs and low tables are obviously meant for lounging, and it’s a comfortable, trendy environment. The colors are youthful and fun on the eyes.
Like Tutti Frutti, Yopop is self-​serve; there are A LOT of available flavors. I especially adore the taro, which is irresistible. (Then again, I’m generally a sucker for taro anything). I also tried the coconut, which was very good. :) The toppings are plentiful and varied, and the toppings bar is spotlessly clean. I don’t think I would recommend either chocolate or fruit with the fruity froyo, though; chocolate just doesn’t go well (and they tasted a little worse-​for-​wear due to the cold) and the fruit tastes unpleasantly tart compared to the froyo. However, mochi and popping boba go excellently well. :D

This is my favorite kind of place, but one I ought to not exactly frequent. This place is dangerous. It is so silly to think one could actually take one of those giant cups and not be tempted to fill it beyond what is appropriately consumable with the wide assortment of tasty choices. And then what? Are you really going to pass up the toppings? I don’t think so. Oye! So good. I have learned since visiting Yopop that there is yet another one of these types of yo-​whatever places even closer to where I live. This is going to become maddening, but in a good way… especially once warm weather permanently rolls around.

Reasonably priced and plenty of variety, although not as good as Tutti Frutti in Durham.
This place is never as busy as Tutti Frutti and much closer to where I Live, so this is the frozen yogurt joint of choice for me!

This is much better than TCBY – you don’t get that weird chemical after taste;. however, some of their flavors are not that great. pineapple, coconut, banana, taro are awesome. coffee and peanut butter were disappointing (and i am a huge fan of those flavors – bummer!!)
It would be nice if they offered japanese azuki beans all the time. alas, they don’t. but their mochi is a belly of love!
all in all, it is a great feeling of freedom to be able to make your own bowl of yogurt. I always hated that TCBY’s portions were so inconsistent. Sometimes, a large was more like a medium. and sometimes, a medium was more like a large. but they had no problem always charging you their high prices. Choice is good!
there is room for improvement at YoPop, but I am glad they are here! Fo Sho!

I would probably give this less stars given the plethora of other yogurt places out there, but my S.O. really likes the taro flavor (it is quite good if you like the sour yogurt flavor) and they are, obviously, the only one with it.
Also, they are the only close one who have the serve-​yourself method.
The Tipping Situation (see Locopops) is in full effect here, but, even more, you serve yourself and are expected to tip the kids for doing nothing other than ringing you up. That is messed up.
You know what, I’m taking that star back.

It’s basically the same as its forebearer, Orange Leaf, except with the new name. It is still quite excellent. You get a variety of flavors of fro yo to choose from (Chocolate! Cookies and Cream! Taro! Peanut Butter!) and a wide variety of toppings as well (GUMMI BEARS! GUMMI WORMS! Kiwis!). All in all, excellent.

I have not been to similar serve yourself yogurt places but this one is wonderful. Their ice-​cream type flavors (vanilla, chocolate, etc) of yogurt are just as good and healthier than ice cream, the fruit flavors scream fruit but what really sets it apart are all the topics. They have some exotic ones that I love and then everything perfect for kids (chocolate chips, marshmallows, etc). Maybe there are better yogurt stores with this theme, but being the first one I found I am in love.
