21 Choices Frozen Yogurt

I love little hole in the wall gems. This was most definitely a gem worth keeping. My friend had an Apple fritter flavored yumminess and I had a creation that tasted like Peanut butter crunch! It was phenomenal! Will be back to see what other creative things this joint has up their sleeves!!!

This place has been around before the frozen yogurt hype! And is one of the best you can find! Lets start with texture, really creamy non icy like 90% of the other popup frozen yogurt stores. Staff is always welcoming, and friendly. I come all the way Redlands If I really have a craving, but only to this store which out does the other 21 choices off 1^st street

21 Choices here on Foothill is an amazing and unique yogurt place. Everyday they have 6 daily choices, four of which change everyday. One is Chocolate, one is vanilla, one is a fruit choice, other three depend. There are also 21 mix-​ins (hence the name 21 choices) but these are much more expensive.

This is my favorite 21 choices of the two in Claremont. For one, the line is much shorter. The service is always friendly and hosts many local students from claremont. The yogurt is sweet and they offer tons of toppings. Prices for the dailys are very reasonable but mix ins are a bit pricey. Great place to go after a meal or just for a treat.

If you like Cold Stone you’re gonna like this spot. They say it’s yogurt but I call bs. Looks like soft serve ice cream to me. Not much room to eat there but the yogurt is good.

This location is usually ok. The yogurt is thin and icy, it melts quickly creating a watery soup of sweetness with «mix-​in» chunks. It’s about as appetizing as it sounds. If you get a good flavor combo, it’s worth eating anyway. A couple of the mix-​ins (baked goods) have questionable aftertastes.

This place use to be good but now it taste like a cheap tasteless mix. Lots of ice crystals basically taste like frozen milk.
We got 3 flavors none of which were anything special. We didn’t eat 2 of them took a few bites and ended up tossing them. They really should have more base flavors since the one they have is so blah. I should have gone to yogurt-​land!

This place is awesome!!! I love their motto and how they care about their customers. I went in not too long ago and ordered something. It seemed the young employee was still learning how to mix my fro yo. She overworked it causing it to be melted. I emailed the company later that night just to inform them that they may want to point that out to employees. I was given 4 free frozenen yogurts of my choice and 4 free gift certificates. I just love how customer satisfaction is number one. Not to mention how fresh, organic, and top quality all their ingredients are. The manager Erin is an awesome, kind, smart, loving person. I can’t say enough good things about this store. My favorite!!!

Being that this location is three blocks from my house, I am particularly disappointed to report that this yogurt shop is heading downhill.
We used to walk to 21 Choices two or three times per week. The line ran out the door regardless of season or weather. It wasn’t just the yogurt we loved, but the quirky charm of the shop interior and the ridiculously friendly employees.
In the past couple of years, the shop has really changed. Gone is the fun (and funny) interior décor. Service is inconsistent, though I still really like some of the older staff members. Disappointingly, the shop sometimes closes earlier than its posted hours, which is a real bummer if you have walked to the shop with a hankering for dessert.
The yogurt is sometimes too soft/“melted” when you first get it. However, the root beer float remains deliciously flavorful and icy. That is the flavor I keep going back for on Saturdays.
The $ 2 yogurt cone is still a terrific deal.
The shop still serves decent yogurt, I just wish it would return to the energetic, youthful, fun place it was in 2009.

The workers are really nice here and they give you a free yogurt if it’s your birthday. This place is kind of like a Cold Stone but for froyo. Cool idea. I came here on a date with my girlfriend because she’s been trying to get me to come for over a month. She was super excited when we got here. I got the one with the sprinkles and oreos… I couldn’t finish mine because there was too much sprinkles in it and it made it taste bad. My girlfriend didn’t like the one she got either. We left quite disappointed, but we thought it was a fluke so we came back another time. The banana cookie one was better, but I don’t think I’ll ever crave the yogurt from here. This place is okay if you’re hanging out with friends, but I think I prefer the yogurtland across the street.

I first heard of 21 Choices in Pasadena when I saw this perpetual line out the door and thought to myself 21 Choices of what? My curiosity did not get the best of me and did not lure me inside (I truly hate crowds), but I always kept it in mind that I wanted to see what kept it so crowded. I Unilocaled it when I got home, and when I found out it was yogurt, I thought, okay, someday I’ll try it. Well, thanks to my niece for going to college in Claremont and seeing her recently, we found a far less crowded Claremont venue of 21 Choices !!
I LOVE the fact that not only do they have their own (21 to be exact) concoctions of essentially mix-​ins that is how the frozen yogurt comes to you, they even have an additional 6 more «flavors» that are basically «seasonal,» that change maybe every week or every month… don’t recall what they said.
All their flavor choices sounded really yummy, and basically, they offer vanilla or chocolate yogurt, but it’s what they add into it that bring them to life. I had the CHUBBY HIPPO, which was a brownie, a handful of pretzels, a splash of sea salt and some caramel sauce, all smashed and mixed together with vanilla flavored yogurt and ultimately placed in a cup. Oh my, it was AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWESOME. I LOVED it. It had every flavor that I love, the different textures were fabulous… crunchy, chewy, smooth… although I’m now curious how it’d taste with chocolate yogurt. That might be even better. These flavor combos are set, so I’m not sure I could exchange it out, but I can assure you if I get back here, I WILL ask. My husband got the A&W Root Beer Float, and I’ll be damned… it tasted just like a root beer float. Major yumminess.
I took photos of their menu, so check out my photos to see the different kinds of yogurt combos you can get. I wish there was one closer to where I live… and then again, no I don’t… that’d be an invitation to turning into a Chubby Hippo for sure !!!

I really like this location because there is seldom a long line. The yogurt is very smooth and creamy. They offer many types of mix ins. They will mix in whatever you want on a cold stone type of block, which helps to keep the yogurt from melting. The staff here is very helpful and friendly.

Compared to the one in the Village, this one was rather disappointing. The ugly step sister, if you will.
Ok, that was harsh. But seriously. This one is smaller, dingier, less popular.
The guy working behind the counter was nice, but my froyo came out rather melty.
I went in with a serious hankering for cusomizable froyo, and really would’ve settled for anything (i.e. my requirements for quality weren’t very high). Even then, I left unimpressed.
Ok, putting my business hat on. Here are my thoughts:
Internal consistency. You want to maintain a consistent experience within different locations of your business. Regardless of whether it is franchised or not, maintaining enough control to ensure consistent customer experience is important. Especially when you have two that are so close. Seriously… just go to the one in the village instead.

On my way back from an informational interview I was starving but it was too early for dinner. I happened to see 21 Choices. I love the one in Pasadena so I couldn’t help but stop here.
This 21 has pretty much the same offerings as the one in Pasadena but I feel like it had less toppings to choose from (where was my Red Velvet Cake!) I still loved the different and creative flavors they had to choose from and there was no line at all (a rare sight at the Pasadena one).
If you love Froyo you have to check this place because it really is so unique.

two words = blushing oreo! vanilla froyo + oreos + strawberries = a surprisingly fantastic combination!
man, this place is soo good! i am always tempted to come here, if only they were cheaper (hence the 4 stars)! you end up paying $ 4 bucks for a small cup… :(they don’t offer any special discounts to students (at least to my knowledge… but they should!)

Circus animal cookie, ohhh sooo good!

The staff is so sweet they could give you a tooth ache.
I often sample multiple yogurts before picking what I want. The toppings are season and change often. I can’t wait for them to get GIRL SCOUT COOKIES again.
They change the flavors daily. My favorites are PEANUT BUTTER CHIP, ELEPHANT IN THE TREES & ANIMAL CIRCUS.
The best part is that they are open late.

The yogurt here is just okay, nothing special in my opinon, BUT, I do like:
1. The staff.:
The employees here are trained well and all are very nice.
2. Toppings:
Awesome variety of toppings. There’s a lot to choose from, you’ll never run out of choices
Cute little yogurt shop right in the heart of Downtown Claremont. Great for the summer, but not something I would crave to go back to.

Nah, don’t like it. Yes they have a lot of flavors but the ones I have tried are just not that great.
The fruit flavors are very fruity, like frozen fruit, and they melt very very quickly. If it is hot, by the time you pay it will be half melted. Its more like a sherbet than yogurt.
I’m not particularly fond of the long waits, made longer by mix-​in service (why?), and there is no place to sit.
Plus the Claremont organic-​vegan-​hybrid people annoy me when they take 7 years asking the ingredient list in Every Single Topping and if its gluten-​free. Sorry.

The concept of mixing things is a good idea but the flavor is not that great. It’s like four or five flavors of frozen yogurt and you get to mix in toppings like cold stone… But the flavors of the yogurt is not very nice. It’s like $ 3.25 for a small (pretty big) and $.75 for a topping. The service is really good though.
I gt the Kohula Coffee flavor but it felt like iced coffee. It wasn’t smooth how i like it. It’s all icy. Not my style.

5 Things to note:
1.) Their flavors are more sweet than tart
2.) Can’t decide? Sample all, then create a combination of multiple flavors :)
3.) You can mix in toppings, but the yogurt is super good as-​is!
4.) The «small» size is big! They also have a mini cup.
5.) Friendly service.
This was a fave of mine when I was an undergrad… We used to get coupons for a free small fro yo! I was back in Claremont recently and happily returned to 21 Choices. It did not disappoint!
Fun memories + Good fro-​yo = Five stars!
