Forever Yogurt Express

Yogurt was almost a liquid rather than Frozen. Was not pressured into getting one — and the person serving was understanding. So 2 stars instead of 1.

I’m a regular here.
Great range of flavors and toppings. They always change up the flavors offered which is nice if you are a regular. This place is also an express which makes the process very speedy and efficient.
I’d be way skinnier if this place didn’t exist.

This little froyo place can easily be walked past because of it’s unusual location. It almost appears to be like you’re walking down into a basement. If you’re looking for a quick stop for some froyo, Forever Yogurt Express has got you covered.
Now the place is pretty small and there is definitely not much room inside. I didn’t see any sample cups anywhere, but I figured that I would take a risk and just fill my cup. They have your normal, generic flavors that you might find anywhere like mango and tart. For mine, I chose the green tea honey and the vanilla bean.
The topping bar is in the center of the place, so it can easily get crowded between the froyo machines and the toppings. They offer the toppings you would typically see at a froyo place, but not as many as say, Menchies.
Thankfully they have more than one cash register open so that you’re able to get your froyo quickly. I appreciated that although there was only one person in front of me, a worker told me she could ring me up at the next register that was originally not being used. This made it easy to get out of the place quicker (hence the express!).
I really enjoyed my froyo. I love that the green tea wasn’t too bitter, and that subtle sweetness came from the honey. What blew me away was the vanilla bean though. I normally don’t get vanilla bean because it’s just vanilla, but this one had so many specs of black throughout it. I knew that it was real vanilla bean pods. The vanilla flavor was out of this world. The texture of the froyo at first was a bit runny, but the machine starts to push out more solid froyo.
The place has very limited seating (like two seats?) but they do have outlets if you need to charge your phone or something. This was my first time at a Forever Yogurt Express (it’s not something that is seen where I live), and I was pretty pleased with my experience.

A little froyo place where it looks to be in the basement. You all down a few stairs and there sits a small shop.
It’s entirely self serve & you can pick all of the toppings you want.
There is a little area outside to sit and enjoy your dessert.
Polite staff. They let me try a few flavors before I decided to get the basic Vanilla.

This used to be a great spot. It’s right around the corner and we frequent it. HOWEVER, the last few times I have been in the flavors are AWFUL!!! I thought maybe I was being picky but then the last time I was in there, this guy was throwing a fit about the awful flavors and someone else chimed in about it as well. So it’s not just me! Bring back good flavors and ATLEAST have a vanilla and or chocolate if you’re going to have terrible flavors like green tea, and turtle…

Nice place, is small if need to eat in the store. There is only enough room 3 – 4 people to eat in side. Excellent Yogurt, they have a nice self serve selection of different Yogurts. I would go there again.

this place is simply brilliant! healthy never tasted sooooo goooooooooodddd!!!

5 stars for the yogurt, 1 star for the location and 1 star for the larger woman with all the tats that seems to hate her job.
If you don’t like working with customers and smiling then don’t, I’m sure there’s a ton of other people who would love to have your job. She also finds it necessary to tidy up the toppings when people are at the buffet line trying to put them on their yogurt. She actually commanded some young girls move out of her way today. Hey lady, how about you act busy when the customers aren’t trying to help themselves to their yogurt toppings?
The location is disgusting. I hate this stretch of Chicago Ave. Hang out here and people watch and you’ll see why. It’s impossible to sit outside over here without being solicited by multiple bums. The smell of urine is so pungent in the air also that you may as well just take your yogurt to go and enjoy it elsewhere, if you still have an appetite.

An average yogurt experience — this is one of the frozen yogurt places where you serve yourself from a variety of choices, then top it with whatever you want — from sprinkles to sauces, to broken up candy bars to nut or marshmallows, and the list goes on. The bowls are all the same size, large, so you don’t quite realize how much you are taking.
The yogurts were okay according to those who were with me. I had lemon Italian ice which was just okay. Serving Italian ice as soft serve is problematic — it melts into a goop very quickly.
And the bowls I mentioned — you pay by weight so from a business standpoint, they make sense. It takes more to fill the bowls, It doesn’t look like a lot if you put a normal portion in, so you take too much. No one in our group was able to finish what they took.
Eh, I guess I like things the old way — Italian ice frozen in a small cup. A scoop of ice cream in a cup. The self serve model is probably great for business, but bad economics for the consumer.

This is definitely an «express» location, because there’s basically nowhere to sit inside. If you can get over that, this is just average fro-​yo; I tried a double or a Dutch chocolate (can’t remember the exact name of the chocolate flavor available!) and the lowfat raspberry… the raspberry was pretty bad, actually, and the toppings were a mixed bag for sure. The hot fudge was tasty and very hot; the chocolate brownie, cookie dough, and frosted animal crackers were a bit stale and made the experience more chewy than it should have been.
Still, my wife and I got enough to eat and kept the price under $ 8, a win in this part of town. Next time, I’ll do milkshakes instead!

I have been here several times, and I really like this forever yogurt. I most recently came here becasue I had the groupon. This place is really close to Michigan Ave. A really nice thing about this place is you can serve yourself samples, and you can try as many as you want until you decide what to get. Forever Yogurt has an excellent selection of froyo flavors, which change frequently as well. The yogurt is all really reasonably priced, especially when compared to places like Red Mango. You also get to pour your own yogurt and add your own toppings unlike Red Mango, which has set sizes you have to order, so you can determine exactly how much you want in your cup.

I wouldn’t recommend this frozen yogurt place. It is small and doesn’t have enough seats. There is only four bar stools available for seating. The majority of the yogurts were not frozen. They were coming out of the yogurt machine like water. The place has a foul smell and doesn’t seem sanitary.

This place was awesome! They even had chocolate covered strawberries for a topping. The cashier was very sweet and polite. Oh and the frozen yogurt was delicious WITH live and active cultures in them. I’d highly recommend coming to this place for a nice and held that dessert.

I’m really not a high-​maintainence gal when it comes to froyo, and even still this place just keeps falling short for me. It’s near my apartment and I can’t resist a good Groupon deal, so I’ve made my way back twice in the past couple months. The first visit all I remember is it being very hot inside, the froyo seemed to be missing the fro part, and the crowd just bumping into one another to hop from one machine to the next. Tangent: why can’t froyo places just put sample cups with the actual cups? I know why… and I’d go crazy if a group of Forever21 bag carrying teens grabbed 14 samples and went to town as I waited my turn… but still, it sure would save some trouble, in theory.
Anywho, the second visit confirmed that I will walk a bit further north to Yogurtland (awesome, btw) or west to Pinkberry (on paydays.) because we went downstairs and it smelled like the gross flooded bathrooms at North Ave Beach… mixed with old milk. Yuck. It was bad. And the same issues we’ve had before were still there — not many flavors, weird consistency, and it just isn’t a pleasant place to do something that should be very pleasant!

I’ve eaten a lot of froyo in my day (yes, I am on board with the froyo craze). The shop is small in garden style, but this Forever Yogurt Express does a great job of working with the space it has available. It was a pretty hot day today and the possibility of delicious frozen yogurt was the perfect treat. This was the only froyo place near Loyola University, so coming here was a no brainer.
There are not an overwhelming number of froyo flavor options compared to other places, but I was happy to mix it up with french vanilla, dutch chocolate, and shredded coconut flavors (the chocolate was, by far, the best). There were plenty of excellent topping options that looked VERY fresh. I paid what I expected for my cup (which ended up costing more than I expected; darn those big cups!).
My main complaint was the serious lack of space to eat here. There is a small place where you could pull up high chairs to the wall, which had a very small amount of counter space jutting out (certainly no bigger than the size of your standard size froyo cup). I understand that the place is called Forever Yogurt EXPRESS, though; I’m sure their intent is not focused on customers dining in.
Bonus points: there are several outlets right above the small counter-​like area. Score!

J’ai adoré ! Tout un choix de crème glacée à composer soi-​même: la formule de cette chaîné façon DIY est excellente ^^
Vous avez un gros pot, vous mettez les parfums que vous souhaitez mettre, mais également de délicieux morceaux de fruits, cheesecake ou cookie.
Vous payez au poids et vous repartez, juste excellent !

Stopped in with a friend and a groupon and was very pleasantly surprised. Got some sample cups to try the flavors– the staff was really friendly!- and I settled on the cake batter because I knew I wanted some caramelly/​candy bar type toppings on it and I didn’t think they would go as well with fruit. The flavor was quite sweet! Not sour at all, which I was happy about because I tend not to like the sour taste unless it’s a fruit flavor. I loaded my cup with toppings and enjoyed every last bite.
It was a little pricey, maybe, but I didn’t feel the pain having used the groupon. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because the basement thing is kind of sad, for such a pink, happy yogurt place. It’s really small and only had 4 seats. This is kind of a get your yogurt and go kind of place, which is probably great for some summer shopping, but not so much on a colder day, which is when we had it.

While I usually go to Pinkberry for my froyo cravings, I found this hidden spot randomly on my way home one night. It differs from Pinkberry in that there are more toppings available (melted marshmallow!) and you have access to put as many as you want on top. I was so excited by this concepy that my cup ended up being majority toppings. I’d say this place is better for kids or the young-​at-​heart, and the fat-​at-​heart like me.
While the yoghurt may not be as refined or subtle as Pinkberry, it’s still delicious, and the Original flavor and the Peach ended up being my faves.

I had one of those nights where fro-​yo was on my mind and instead of my usual place of patronage, I sought refuge downstairs in a reoutfitted, musty basement.
Maybe it was because it was raining and it was twenty minutes ’til closing, but there was still an overwhelmingly dank, musty odor. Despite the multitude of flavors, some dispensed out runny, barely at an edible texture. The fruit looked dubious and the only highlight was the passionfruit tapioca balls. Would I find myself at FYE again? Probably not. Next time I’m in the mood for fro-​yo, I am going to walk myself down the extra few blocks on State for Pinkberry.

There’s a whole lotta goodness crammed into that garden unit shop. Warning do not enter if you are allergic to the color pink, if you are claustrophobic OR if you have an adverse reaction to FroYo.
I’m totally digging their no sugar added raspberry… it’s still sweet and creamy I would never know it was lower sugar. There were a ton of toppings both at the topping bar and in dispensing canisters mounted to the walls… short on space much?
It’s grab and go style, because there’s really no where to sit when it’s busy.

Down in one of those basement joints on Chicago Ave near Loyola.
Kind of a weird setup and is sort of tight down there.
Good flavors & standard toppings… staff was mad cool
