SugarPlum Yogurt

Great selection, really flavorful yogurt. Taro is my favorite and loved that they had taro sauce. MMMMMM.
They also have board games to play while you eat, though some of them are missing pieces which forces you to get creative.
The bottled alo drinks they sell here are good too.

The place was not clean, they didn’t have that many options to choose from. I would not go back.

NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN. As you can see why from my previous reviews, I don’t go here anymore. However, considering they were the only yogurt shop open past 11:30, I went. My friend and I seriously got kicked out of this place. We had already paid for our yogurt (which by the way I filled up my «loyalty» card during this visit.)
After my friend was done with his yogurt and I was almost done myself, he got a small sample of cookies and cream because he wanted to try it. The female employee asked him if he got some yogurt and he said he was sampling the flavor. She said they don’t do sampling and to not do it ever again. When she walked away he was telling me how that’s hella cheap, WHICH IT IS. Not letting customers sample IS CHEAP, THAT’S A FACT.
The uptight employee heard him, turned back and said, «What did you say? Did you call me cheap?!» Then she asked us to leave the store. My friend was being super calm and polite. He just explained to her how he was just saying that the store’s policy was cheap, he wasn’t addressing her personally, and he understands that she’s just doing her job. She didn’t care, still had a pissed off look on her face, and still asked us to leave again. My friend repeated to explain to her, but I just got tired of it and said we should just leave and never come back.
This yogurt shop is so horrible. They may have interesting flavors but the texture of the yogurt is very soupy. The owner should study from the largest and most successful yogurt franchises currently in the nation: Yogurt Land and Pinkberry. They must be doing things right. Their financial success didn’t come from being CHEAP with samples!
From now on, even if SugarPlum is the only shop open, even if I have a strong yogurt graving, I won’t be back!!!

The frozen yogurt is probably ok but every time I go, I’m concerned about the cleanliness of the place and the freshness of the toppings… especially the fruit.
I’m not taking my chances on this place again.

No sampling?!? I have been to dozens of fro-​yo places and have never come across no sampling?!
You can tell the owners are too cheap to want good customer experience. No hot fudge or any hot toppings to be exact and their topping selection was less than I’m used to.

Wrestling, beer, football, having a beard, lifting weights… what do these all have in common with frozen yogurt… Absolutely nothing. Frozen yogurt isn’t exactly the manliest thing in the world a guy could eat, but doesn’t stop me from frequenting this place. I prefer the texture of the yogurt (reminds me of tutti frutti) as opposed to the other ones I’ve had around Davis, but to each their own. They also have a great variety of flavors, though i often resort to Plain Tart. They have an adequate amount of toppings, i prefer to just stick to the fruity stuff (hahaha –_​_​_​_​-​«).
The downside of this place though is no sample cups, they have a lot of flavors but i guess you have to take some sort of «risk» to try them, as not every flavor is a hit. The place itself is bright and lively but doesn’t overdo it like YoloBerry. This place is worth a shot if you’re into froyo.

To preface this review I want to say I live to close to SugarPlum and have, up till recently, been a regular customer since they opened. I like many of the fruit flavored yogurts they have, and their «cake» yogurts are delicious (relatively low cal) sweet treats. They have a decent selection of toppings, and things are usually kept stocked and filled.
Now, the reasons why this place warrants a review from me, and why I think they are literally one of the worst businesses in Davis. First, for some reason beyond me (other than the extreme stinginess of the owners), SugarPlum doesn’t allow you to sample their yogurt. 10+ flavors that change regularly, but you can’t try them under any circumstances. The owners have even installed a camera to watch the customers and make sure you don’t try to taste any of the yogurt before you pay for it. God forbid that a customer wants to try a new flavor before filling their bowl with it. This alone tells me that the owners couldn’t care less about the customer experience, and that they are overly concerned about their bottom line.
Next, and this is my biggest beef with SugarPlum, they must not clean their tubes/​dispensers very often. I frequently (~1 in 3 visits) get spoiled yogurt at SugarPlum. They have an issue with lactic acid bacteria contamination. Regardless of the flavor, the yogurt has an extremely sour, very unpleasant flavor that ruins everything it touches. Alone this wouldn’t be such a big deal, but since the owners are stingy a-​holes you can’t even taste the yogurt to make sure you are getting something that isn’t spoiled. I have never been offered any kind of refund, or new yogurt after discovering spoiled yogurt.
Another negative thing is that they only have 1 size of cup, HUGE, which is frustrating when you pay by weight because there is no way to only get a little bit of yogurt. It would be great if they would offer a smaller cup size when you only want a dollop of 1 – 2 flavors.
I have eaten my last spoonful of spoiled disgusting yogurt at SugarPlum, I will not give the greedy owners any more of my business. I hope they learn from this, or go out of business and make way for a yogurt place which cares about it’s customers.

Have to have my yogurt… Asian yogurt spot!
Taro flavor is very good.

I came here once after getting Ohana’s next door. Too lazy to go to Yolo, so opted to go here instead.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Sugarplum is in the same plaza as Trader Joe’s, Forever 21, Ohana’s, The Old Teahouse, Starbucks, etc., which makes getting yogurt here really convenient (after my first time here, would rather go to Yolo).
The interior is really clean and spacious — it’s decorated in a light purple/​white, which makes me feel like I’m in some fairy candyland place. It also kind of reminds me of Yogurtland, but more… purple.
They have tons of flavors, toppings, but no sample cups (for all those who prefer to sample the flavors before they buy). There’s also board games in case you’re hanging out with your friends & want to chill.
PARKING: I walk/​bike to the U-​Mall, since it’s so convenient, but if you’re driving, you shouldn’t have a problem finding parking here.
The plaza can get sort of crowded, but not to the point where you’re circling around endlessly, like it’s Black Friday or something.
To be completely honest, finding bike parking here is worse than finding actual motor vehicle parking.
SERVICE: There was only one guy working when I came here with 2 of my friends (Asian guy with glasses?). He was cleaning the back, but promptly came out to help us when we were paying (it’s self-​serve, you don’t really need help).
He did seem kind of bored/​uninterested when we were paying though, and was kind of grabby (rude) with my debit card, as I was handing it to him.
YOGURT: It was alright… definitely not as good as Yogurtland, but decent enough to satisfy my froyo craving. I honestly forgot which flavors I got, because I got like 10, but overall, the yogurt flavors were average.
TOPPINGS: The toppings didn’t seem very fresh (as compared to Yoloberry). I always get fruit toppings (not a fan of the candy ones), but I only got a few this time, because all of the fruit seemed to be rotting from poor refrigeration/​oldness.
The mochi was really hard and clumped together, so I opted not to get it as well.
Basically by the end, I had a cup of yogurt with only popping boba as my topping (it’s processed so it can’t get old).
VERDICT: Go to Yoloberry instead. This place is mediocre; average tasting froyo with less-​than-​fresh toppings.
Save your «college fund» dollars for something better.

No samples?! :(
I’m super picky when it comes to yogurt (among other things not appropriate for this review haha). Without trying the yogurt, I cannot determine whether I should go for my regular vanilla or something different. It just depends on the day and what I’m feeling at the moment. They do have a lot of flavors, more than at the other froyo shops, and a decent amount of toppings. It’s also 39 cents per ounce. Not too bad if you put the least dense of toppings on your froyo. Fruit just adds way too much (and I’m one of the most nuttiest of health nuts out there and man oh man I will add a ton of fruit).
When I went here for the first time, I waited a few minutes for someone to come out and ask a question. Then, the employee came out and didn’t pay attention to me…
My yogurt melted super fast, but it did taste good.
I don’t know what to say much about this place. It didn’t make me feel super happy when I went here. The whole sample dilemma just bothers me. My friend loves it here though.

I was not entirely impressed with the store. I came here this past Sunday mid-​afternoon when it was quite busy. It had a great selection of yogurt however it was rather pricy and there were no sample cups. Plus the five or so security cameras in every corner made it feel as though someone was watching me eat my food.
I would have given this place one star if it weren’t for the little asian male cashier with glasses. When my date got angry about the lack of sample cups, he was able to quickly diffuse the problem while still being incredibly kind and respectful. To top it all off, he continued to talk and laugh with us as he was cleaning/​refilling the supplies and was still attentive of all the other customers.

Yogurt was way too runny for me. They did have a decent amount of flavors & toppings, they even sell macaroons sometimes, but nothing here really tickles my fancy. They do have a happy hour (4−6pm weekdays I think) where yogurt is cheaper ($ 0.29/oz), but with so many other options in Davis, I probably wouldn’t think to come here first.

Yoloberry has always been my Davis yogurt, but I decided to try something new today.
First impressions: Cashier girl looks bored out of her mind. No sample cups. Most yogurts are slightly runny. Everything is tarty… including the green tea flavor.
Paid up for happy hour (quite cheap at 29c) and sat down to enjoy my assortment of 7 flavors. The place reminds me of yogurtland with lots of flavors, toppings, and sub-​par yogurt with artificial flavors. Most of my cup has melted together. Taro was gross. Green tea tart is slightly too sour. Only the passionfruit flavor stayed in tact but didn’t taste that well. Mango is ok as is espresso flavor.
Verdict: would not come back since it didn’t satisfy my yogurt cravings :(

SugarPlum is located next to Old Tea House and Ohanas. Their yogurt is charged by the ounce. ($ 0.39 cents) They have 17? flavors which change constantly. They have a fair amount of toppings which includes fruits and candy. One if their new toppings is the coconut mochi. I hated the texture and it was way too chewy!
And another thing. NO SAMPLES? How am I supposed to know what flavors I want! How cheap can they be ?!
Overall, the yogurt is decent but it still doesn’t compare to Pinkberry and Yoloberry’s quality in my opinion.
TIP: Get a Stampcard! Buy 5 and get $ 2 off your next purchase

I like their different, unique flavors they have to offer, such as the lychee yogurt, pink sorbert, and vanilla yogurt topped with chewy mochi!
What stands out about this froyo place compared to other froyo places in Davis is that they provide board games! It’s convenient for a group to enjoy, good for icebreakers, and/​or simply fun to play with while eating a cup of froyo!

Great location. Great yogurt and good costs. What else do you need? There aren’t a ton of options available around here.
So come here and eat healthy sweet things to ease that guilt as we hurdle closer and closer to summer. ;)

Frozen Yogurt has got to be every body’s favorite desert! I came here on a Saturday night because I was craving something sweet. Sugar plum have a wide selection of flavors from lycée, mango, cookies and cream, vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, watermelon and cantaloupe. All of which are really delicious. May I add that I heard these are all low fat!
What I did notice about this place was that the flavors were not overly sugary and over sweet. It was more on a creamier side with right amount of sweetness. If I am in the area again I would for sure come back more Yogurt! This place was pretty good and it opens late at night. Price point is also average and parking is also easy to find.

I really don’t like the taste of the yogurt here. I got blueberry and strawberry (as I do everywhere else) and it wasn’t sweet or tart. It tasted plain and icy. In my opinion, when I go to yogut shops, the most important thing for me is the yogurt!
Toppings of course is important too and they get one star for their variety of toppings.
I’d give a star for their board games, but most of the games have pieces that are missing and which make it pretty much useless. They do however get a star for having a lot of seating and for having the atmosphere very cool and relaxing. It’s a great place to catch up with friends (if you like the taste of their yogurt anyway).
Their customer service sucks here though. They are not nice or friendly at all. No one ever has a smile on their face here! They’re all about making money. As I was putting captain crunch cereal into my cup a single piece of cereal dropped onto the area between my thumb and finger so I casually plopped that ONE single piece of cereal into my mouth and of course I got a stern «HEY! Don’t eat the food before paying for it!» from a man whose eyes were harsh and eyebrows were crossed. My badddd!

I had SugarPlum for the first time the other night and it was alright. I wasn’t completely blown away by any particular flavors. To be honest, most of the time, froyo tastes all the same to me, except for this occasion. I don’t know if it was just me, but their original tart tasted really off. It tasted like cheese. WTF, right?! Maybe they were having an off night or I’m just not a fan of it.
Other than the original, I had taro (tart), pink lemonade, and lychee. I topped that with mochi, lychee, and strawberries. I was disappointed to see that they didn’t have blueberries. I’ve never seen a tart taro before, so it was a tad strange to me. The pink lemonade was mediocre; creative, but it could have been executed better. The lychee was really good. I also had some of my friend’s honeydew too, and it was yummy. I don’t know how much it costs per ounce, but the total for three moderately-​full cups was about $ 15.

This is my #1 place to go for froyo. I like pretty much all the flavors they have here. My favorite is the taro tart or the almond tart. The green tea one is also good.
I agree that the way they handle samples is inefficient and annoying, but I guess people in the past have taken advantage of it. For example, I saw this one guy take like 10 samples of the strawberry. At a certain point you’re not sampling, you’re EATING. It’s people like this that ruin it for the rest of us.
Another thing, I feel like this place is a tad more expensive than some of the other places in Davis.
On a different note, have you tried their poppers!!! They look like jelly balls, but when you pop them in your mouth it explodes with juice. Pretty unique.
