Fro-ggie

LOVE FRO-​GGIE. BUT… I’M SO SAD IT CLOSED DOWN :(SO SAD. It was SO good.

When Froggie’s closed, a part of me died forever.
RIP Froggie. You will be missed dearly.

OMG why did Fro-​ggie close? My favorite froyo place in area. RIP :’(

I would happily eat a bucketful of their plain tart with no toppings. I really like tarty frozen yogurt, and this place does it nicely. Even when I feel like trying other flavors, they don’t disappoint. I really like the yogurt. And so many toppings wowowowow. But I tend to go minimalistic and just do with plain tart + strawberries and mochi though heheheheh, so delicious.
I also love their hot drinks, voila, the lemon-​honey tea is so delicious!!! It has a small amount of pulp of lemon too!
Love their pretzel looking sticks… Pocky’s!
AND IT’S REALLY CHEAP

Ordered the lychee and original tart. Absolutely delicious and a great way to kill this 90+ degree weather. I also sampled island banana today. Not a fan of the banana. It wasn’t that artificial tasting, anything that isn’t a banana that tastes like banana freaks me out.
Oh and I noticed that there is a $ 5 minimum charge for plastic. Sadness.

Yaaay, Froggies!
I’ve been here a few times. The yogurt is tart and pretty awesome, they have happy hour and if you join their email club, you’ll get info on cool promotions! It’s also a great place to sit in and be with friends. The atmosphere is chill, there are magazines to read, they have a good variety of toppings, great deals, great customer service, what more could you ask for?
Oh, they give you a pretz stick with your froyo! :D
The only thing that I’m sad about is the fact that its to far from where I live. But if you’re up at Ohlone, you could just drive or take the 210 bus (:
Don’t forget to bring your stamp card!

This place is one of my favorite places to swing by whenever I’m with my friends and I happen to glance at the clock between 4 and 6 PM. I remember the good ol’ days when it was only $ 1 plus tax for a small, but $ 1.25 ain’t too bad.
They always have cool new flavors that change every time I go back. I really like their watermelon, lychee, and taro flavors, and original can never go wrong. Always order a small with two flavors because I swear they give you more. The Pretz stick is also a nice addition. I don’t know if anyone ever orders anything that isn’t froyo…
Service is good! Both the part-​time high school student and the owner are very congenial, and they’re cool with you sampling all the flavors before you order.
The décor is very comforting and cute. They have these round chairs spread around tables, along with chairs with pillows that line the wall. They have a lot of manga, but no titles I recognize so I’ve never ventured a look. Out of their collection of games, my favorites are Connect-​4 (DOMINATION HAHAHA) and Uno. There have been times when my friends and I have played so long that we kept ordering more froyo to feed our competitive gaming spirits. What a good marketing ploy!

Back in high school, I always came here with my friends during lunch, or during happy hour! Now, it is the place to meet up with old friends and catch up. :)
Their yogurt here is really nice because it’s not too melty like Yoswirl in Pac Commons, or Yogurtastic. I just really like the tart flavors here. They taste great with strawberry toppings!
Also, happy hour times during summer are great!

I went to Fro-​ggie 2^nd anniversary party from 4−6pm on Sat 3÷13÷10. I was there about 10 min early, but I sat down instead of starting a line, bad mistake. As soon as 4pm came, there was a line already so I had to get out & stand in the long line.
It moved fast since it was a FREE small with no topping. I picked Peach. It tasted fine.
The we all could spin the wheel to win prizes. The big prizes were: $ 5 gift card, Fro-​ggie t-​shirt, RC Submarine toy, & Aromatherapy oil burner. I got a cheap plastic cup which I’ll use for camping.
Thank you Carlos & hope for many more anniversaries.
Fro-​ggie Happy Hour is Back!
Small froyo for only 99 cents from 4pm to 6pm everyday. Limited time only!

I love Fro-​ggie!
My favorite non self-​serve yogurt place yum! I’ve tried pretty much EVERY froyo place in Fremont/​Union City/​Newark area (I love Tuttimelon in Union City and So Frais in Newark), but whenever I get a random craving, I usually end up at Fro-​ggie [probably because it’s less than a 10 minute walk from my house.]. Never fails to satisfy (:
Very consistent yogurt. Carlos [the owner] always remembers me [probably because I’ve filled up 6 of the frequent buyer cards in a year.]&my favorite flavors&combination of toppings.
Love love love (:

I only went here because they were having that 99 cent special. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t self serve, which I like better.
We did get a pretty generous amount for a small and the guy let us mix flavors which was pretty cool. The toppings were pretty good too. I like that they add a Pretz stick in their yogurt. Just an extra touch.
I signed up for their email list and they send me specials every once in a while, which is nice.
I would go here more often if I lived closer.

As I was sitting in my car recuperating from the strong cocktail I had for lunch, I was instantly alert when I saw this fro-​yo place in the plaza.
Now I need to be sober on this serious fro-​yo review.
The shop is located not far from Yogotastic (just up the hill to be exact). The shop offers five different nonfat flavors: Original, Vanilla-​Bean, Pomegranate, Blueberry and Wild-​berry. For $ 4.25 for a medium cup, I chose the Vanilla Bean and Blueberry as my split flavor. And for an additional $.75, I chose the sweet Lychee-​Coconut Jelly as my lonely topping. The Vanilla Bean flavor was sweet and creamy, but the syrup of the coconut jelly made it much sweeter.
I’m glad I’m sober enough to enjoy my frozen treat.
Cash only for this little place.
Chinese-​owned and a Unilocal-​approve sticker on the entrance door.

As I was waiting for my 10 hour brisket to smoke on Superbowl Sunday, I thought to myself what can I do to kill time. I remember Flobot aka Florence W. telling me about this froyo spot in Fremont that I had to check out. So me and a couple friends took the journey to a part of Fremont that I never been to before, a real nice part that reminded me of Socal. I was loving all the palm trees and the nice houses in the area.
Once we got to Fro-ggie’s which was way way in the cutts. We noticed no one was in there, so there was no waiting. I ordered a small original tart with blackberry’s. Which I thought was pretty big for a small, it was 5 oz’s. I really liked how they top off your cup of froyo with a spoon and a pocky stick. Something that other froyo spots don’t do. And the pocky stick went real well with the froyo. Next time im going to see if they have just the pocky stick as a topping. The froyo itself was pretty good, real nice tart. Just a tad bit too sour for my taste, but it was still real good.
The service was great, and the décor was real nice. Felt real warm inside once you walked in. Next time im in the area im going to have to try out that new vanilla bean froyo. I always have to try the original tart when its my first time at a froyo joint.
4 Stars for Fro-ggie’s in Fremont

I had the vanilla bean flavor with brownie bits. It was kind of a lot, maybe because I’ve become so accustomed to self-​serve. The yogurt was so cold I couldn’t really taste the brownies, so the brownie bits were just about the texture. But I really liked the flavor!
Tien N. got the double chocolate with 3 types of chocolate candy. It was craziness in a cup. I think he liked it. But it might have been too much.
The décor is tasteful, cute, and colorful (but not too colorful). There is an interesting smell in the place though, perhaps of some cleaning detergent. Otherwise Fro-​ggie is cool and worth trying out if you’re in the area =)

This place is nestled inbetween a dry cleaner, salon, and other shops that are not opened late. Unless you count the Quickie Mart further down, you can already guess how poppin’ this place was when I visited last night. Other than an older couple that was there for Free Wi-​fi with their laptop, there was no one. The employee behind the counter was probably jumping with joy from all the boredom, once we strolled in. The flavors that were available last night were Vanilla, Original Tart, Wildberry, Chocolate, and I didn’t really pay attention to the last one. Most likely b/​c it didn’t involve anything with TART, because I was feeling particularly «tarty» yesterday.
Original: Melts rather quickly, but it is smooth not icy. Tart, but not overly tart.
Wildberry: I thought this one would be sweet, but it ended up being tart and I loved it. A little runny though.
I decided not to use my eyes to judge how much my stomach can intake, so I opted for a small half original/​half wildberry with fresh blueberries. The smartest choice I have ever made rather than going with my gut instinct whenever I walked in fro-​yo places (Get all the flavors and as many toppings as you can! ha!). Deep down inside I really wanted a Medium with 3 toppings. None of the toppings really stood out. I didn’t see too many selections of toppings or fresh fruit (More so, not many that I wanted. No blackberries, no raspberries. They did have pom seeds though!).
P. S. They have music playing in the background. Something I never really noticed at fro-​yo places, but only this time b/​c we were the only ones there late and maxed out the time until it was closing time. They have stamp cards, they have a pitcher of water for you, free wi-​fi, and they top your fro-​yo with a Pretz stick (I wish it was strawberry flavored Pocky instead!!) ^-^

Fro-ggie’s original tart is on the creamier side rather than icy, which is my preference, so I liked it. They also have some unique toppings like honey balls and fresh pomegranate seeds. The place was also clean, and the yogurt portions are pretty hefty, with the smallest cup size being more than enough for me. Oh, and you get one free topping with any student ID… SCORE!
For tart froyo options on the Fremont side of town, I like Fro-​ggie better over YoSwirl. If only Fro-​ggie was self serve!

It’s not self-​serve, which is good and bad. Good because there’s no drippy mess all over the floor, no spilled toppings all over the counter, and no high school goobers exploiting «sample» cups. Also good because the employees are much more skilled at neatly arranging the toppings than I am… my self-​serve cups always end up a mess, and I’m happy just to have stuff not spilling out.
Bad because I can’t decide exactly how much of each flavor I want. Also bad because, as my friend pointed out, they’re trained to leave the frozen yogurt swirl hollow. So it looks like you’re getting more than you are (weight being a truer indicator of quantity).
There’s kind of a dearth of flavor choices. My point of reference is Yogurtland, which offers 14 flavors. But the wildberry yogurt tasted good, so it worked out okay.
The mochi topping was good. Seemed fresh. I can’t remember the second topping I picked. (This is why I need to review places right away!) Oh, it was honey balls (Japanese: hachimitsu boro), more commonly seen in small packets at Asian markets. Also seemed fresh and not stale. Only yogurt place I’ve been to that has these.
Bonus points because each frozen yogurt is served with a… uh… cookie stick. It’s like a naked (chocolate-​free) Pocky. Makes it kind of fun and unique.
Service was pretty good. Not overly friendly… but quick, attentive, and clearly skilled.
I wanted to say I think pricing is pretty competitive (comparable to Yogurtland’s 30 per ounce)… but looking at the price photo (thanks Anna D!), it seems like it’s way more expensive. 8 ounces at $ 3.50 is an insane 44 cents per ounce… and the prices only get worse with toppings. What the crazy. That’s even more than freaking Tartini. If the weight is even close to being correct, this is way overpriced.
But at 8:30 on a Sunday night, the place was absolutely empty. I appreciate that, since Yogurtland Cupertino is always absolutely packed.

Creamy.
Doesn’t melt too fast.
Topping to yogurt ratio is good.
Frequent Froyo cards.
Free Wifi is always good.
–1 The mochi tastes like CHINESE mochi to me-​they should call it nian gao. The strong flavor actually overpowers the yogurt.

They started taking plastic. Bumped them an extra star. Plus I would have to say they are the tastiest of the tart frozen yogurt in the area. I didn’t like Yoswirl but after trying Froggie, Yoswirl in hindsight was HORRIBLE!
BTW I love their buttery Poke-​like cracker stick. It offsets the yogurt taste perfectly.

OK SOOOO I’ve wanted to try this place FOREVER! I saw the sign in this plaza about their grand opening back the first week of February.
So finally got the chance to go, it’s pretty good. It didn’t wow me, pretty standard frozen yorgurt with the tart-​like flavor, but the location will likely make me a regular.
The inside is really clean, and simple. The flavors they had were Original, Blueberry, Green Tea, & Soy (never heard of this one, cool!). They have a lot of fruity toppings.
And prices (for the fruit flavors/​original as the sign stated) that I remember are as follows. The small size is $ 2.50, and you have a limit of 2 toppings. One topping is 75 cents. The medium size is $ 3.50, but with a 3 topping combo it will come to $ 4.95. The large is $ 6-​ish
Pretty standard prices, although their small size is bigger than most froyo places.
One wall is orange, and the other is neon green. They definitely were trying to keep a modern look to this, and kept it simple with the Ikea furniture!
Don’t forget your stamp card. 10 stamps = 1 free frozen yogurt.
I think this place will become pretty popular as a lot of people like me have been craving a tart-​like frozen yogurt place for ages! Yipee! Go Fremont
