Yogo Factory

Nothing embodies a relaxed Sunday afternoon like some froyo! I found this venue through Unilocal and though the reviews weren’t the best we decided to check it out. The spot is quite large with a choice between sitting at a booth or a couple of high chairs located against the far wall. As you first enter you are adviced about the varying daily specials… With over a dozen flavors, over 10 dry toppings, candies, syrups, fruits and more we definitely had our pick of options. I was particularly appreciative of their clean restroom facilities as I had a child with me. The staff was very welcoming and even allowed us to get extra toppings free of charge! I would’ve given them a full five stars had all the frozen options been available. Of the 16 flavors available 3 were out of service.

There is no shortage of Ice Cream and Yogurt shops in the area, each a little different.
Yogo has all the fixings you would expect at a Frozen Yogurt shop– a wall full of frozen yogurt and endless toppings. But recently they’ve added custard to their ice cream line up– it’s delicious.
Here are a few unique things I love about Yogo:
— Yogo supports various charities with fundraising nights.
— Yogo runs cools specials, for example one night there is a flat fee you can pay to fill your cup.
— There are all kinds of discounts you can take advantage of; checking in on facebook, snap chatting them, etc.
— Big comfortable booths and outdoor seating.
— Family friendly vibe.

Cute place to go to to get a light dessert after dinner. Lots of seating available, and I was happy to see booths! I’ll get back to how I feel about the seating…
I must be in the minority, but my favorite flavor of fro yo is the original tart. I just feel like you can’t mess with that, and honestly think it should be standard to have it at ALL fro yo places! I was really disappointed to see that the machine was broken for the tart! I’m also pretty sure that they didn’t have granola.
The staff was really nice. One girl dispensed a bunch of flavors to try. The custards were great and rich if that’s something you like. My favorite was the sea salt caramel pretzel so I dispensed that into a cup. I liked that they had dividers available to separate the various flavors. They had a lot of flavors like blueberry, banana, cheesecake, cookies and cream, cake batter, etc. They seemed to have a lot of toppings available, which I was impressed by. They had your standard toppings like crunchy cereal and graham crackers to fruit and cookies, but I remember there being a lot of sauces to choose from and pretty cool toppings like birthday cake.
Ok, back to the seating. The booths were a nice touch but you will SINK into them which was uncomfortable for me, and the table is an awkward distance away. Overall, it was a nice experience. They seem to have deals going on almost every day. I would give a higher rating if I was able to try to the flavor I wanted.

Yogo Factory was good but not great in my opinion. Ambience is important to me (even if it’s fro yo place, weird I know) and this place didn’t have it all.
When I walked in, I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of colors all over the walls. It felt to me more like a kids play room than an eatery, and a little dated with the neon lights outside and metallic mermaidy backsplash.
The fro yo is good though. And they had a lot of toppings to choose from. The employees were very friendly and the place was clean. It seemed like they offered a deal on their fro yo everyday which was nice («happy hour», one weekday fill your cup for $ 5 etc)
Overall not a bad place, just not my personal favorite.

Nice little mid afternoon dessert of froyo. Taste tested the the Very Fancy French vanilla and was sold. Added a little crushed vanilla & graham cracker crumbs with a few dollops of caramel and made this slip smacking tummy filled afternoon…

Visit from Cali and decided to take my sisters out for a nice frozen yogurt date. Found this one closes to me & decided to give it a try. Definitely love it ! They have all the toppings you could think of

Clean with a variety of flavors but we were definitely disappointed by the fact that they didn’t have an original froyo tart flavor. Their yogurt is very creamy, almost the same consistency as soft serve ice cream. Nothing wrong but nothing great.

This yogurt place is pretty cool I admit but…
Yogurtland is much more comfortable and tasty. There around 20 flavors in the store that change occasionally including yummy limited time flavors. I just don’t feel Yogo is a place where u can go in and relax. It’s way to confusing and it feels like there going to blast on some music lower a disco ball and make you fall of your chair. I do like how Yogo is bigger but it’s way to confusing. Yogurtland is simple and family friendly while still making adults feel welcome! Everyone please go to yogurt land before coming here. Yogurt land is located on 10 centerton road right next to Starbucks and chipotle it’s also located in the big shopping center with the costco and target and segments and all the other stores.

Ice cream isn’t really my thing, frozen yogurt is a little better, but not by much (take this into account when reading this review). This was my first time in any pay by weight frozen yogurt place. I’ve always thought these places were pretty odd. The place is super bright, and gigantic, looks like a kid picked out the colors (as it should, I suppose).
The pretzel yogurt was pretty good. Watch out using the spouts, I would disagree that the yogurt comes out quickly as others have said. It is more that you need to stop before your desired amount, because when you turn it off it pushes out an extra ¼ of a cup of yogurt.
There were a lot of toppings to choose from, and I can imagine that it can be pretty overwhelming. I was impressed that they had raspberries and blackberries available. I also liked that they had wet nuts.
I wish they had smaller cups (besides the kiddie cups that have a fixed price) or a cone option. I suppose I’ve come to the wrong place if that is what I am looking for.
Not a place that I would frequent, and I haven’t really been to similar places to compare it to. It was good enough.

It had been months since my last visit to Yogo, as cold + me + frozen yogurt = a really bad combination. Last night, I stopped in with my last star to be punched on my customer card and chose cookies and cream, cake batter and creamsicle.
Creamsicle remains my favorite by a long shot, but they’re all so, so good. And it helped that I didn’t have to pay a dime!
It was a Monday night around 8 p.m., yet not a single booth lay empty. This has been a great Haddon Township addition and I’ll likely be back way too often as the temps continue to increase.

Vast selection of yogurt flavors & variety of toppings.
Where this place loses me:
— smells like bleach/​cleaning chemicals, & overwhelmingly so (while I’m a fan of cleanliness, I’m not a fan of inhaling associated fumes)
— staff cleaning the booth right near people eating (again, cleanliness is good; blue cleaning fluid overspray is bad)
— flavors taste artificial and thin (I realize it’s not gourmet, but the flavors I tried are the «fakest» and least appealing of all dozen or so froyo places I’ve been to. Yogurt colors also seem unnecessarily potent.)
— loud, annoying programming on the TV and color scheme is a bit over-​the-​top/​obnoxious (maybe they are trying to distract from the icky flavors or cleaning fluid abundance).
It feels like they are trying too hard to be/​appear clean/​flavorful/​entertaining/​appealing.
Overall, while the place is spacious and they offer many choices for yogurt & toppings, nothing about this place makes me want to return. I’d give it 1.5 stars, but rounding up to two.

This place can be quite dangerous! Self-​serve yogurt with a zillion different (ever-​changing) flavors to choose from and even more hot, cold, and candy toppings? Your head will say OH YES and your stomach later may say WHY WHY WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO ME? It doesn’t help matters that the cups provided are only in size humongous. So you have to learn to limit yourself, and let’s face it: it’s really difficult to do with so much yumminess just surrounding you. And a fun, bright décor that makes you feel like you are at a kids party every time you go.
They always offer lots of specials (if you check in to Unilocal,Facebook, foursquare, etc. you can get some freebies). There’s plenty of seating, but the place will usually be overrun with teenagers well into the night so you may have to wait a bit.

On a Friday night, we finally decided to stop in the Yogo Factory after driving by it numerous times. During busy hours their parking lot is busy and congested, so we parked on Haddon Avenue. Upon entering, the first thing I experienced was a huge whiff of cleaning chemicals. The whole place smelled like cleaning fluid. I really wanted to leave but my husband convinced me to stay.
There were employees walking around but no friendly greeting. They weren’t too busy at the time, only about 8 other patrons in the store when we arrived. If we’d never been to a serve yourself froyo place before, we would have been at a loss as to how this worked.
There are numerous booths lining the windows on the front and the wall on the side. The opposite wall had a bar like counter attached to the wall with video displays showing Yogo information. The back wall had 8 «serve yourself» soft serve stations with each dispensing two flavors which could be swirled. There were a total of 16 individual flavors of either lowfat, non-​fat, reduced fat, no sugar added soft serve yogurts. We each grabbed a container and started filling our cups.
Much to our dismay, they do not offer sample cups, so you are stuck with whatever flavor you venture to try. This is unlike Yogurtland where you can sample as many flavors as you’d like. At 49 cents an ounce, that can really be an expensive waste if you don’t like what you get.
After filling our cups, we turned around to the toppings bar. There are numerous toppings from cereals, sprinkles, fruits, hot & cold toppings, etc.
We went to pay and were glad to see a short line. The people in front of us paid with cash and then it was our turn. Much to our dismay, the check-​out girl who had just handled money from the previous patrons (and I’m sure many more before them), opened her drawer and grabbed spoons for us holding the spoon side and not the handle with the same hand that she had just touched the money with. Eww. Unsanitary! These young teenage employees need training on sanitary safety and germs.
After paying for our yogurt, we sat at a booth and noticed that there was an employee cleaning other tables with a spray bottle of blue liquid — this would explain the chemical odors we experienced while we were there. There’s no outdoor seating that we could see, so there was nowhere to escape the chemical odors unless we stood outside.
If you check in on Facebook, Twitter, FourSquare or Unilocal,they will give you a free ounce (and yes, they will accept multiple checkins so you can get several free ounces). I was sad to read here on Unilocal after we went there that they have frequent buyers cards. We weren’t offered one. But then again, not sure I’ll be returning.
The froyo was average tasting and nothing to rave about. It’s similar to other froyo establishments in the area. I’d probably visit again if I were with friends who wanted to stop by, but I’d much prefer Ritas Water Ice across the street or I’d even drive all the way to Hamilton, NJ 30 miles away to go to Yogurtland for premium froyo.

We’ve been here several times. This place is expensive, overrated, and the owner /​manager acts like a two year old. Need proof? Just check out how he responds to any sort of criticism /​negative experience he receives on Unilocal.
With over 2000 CUSTOMERS A DAY, it’s really hard to believe that every single one has had THE BEST YOGURT IN THE WORLD.
And, P. S. You don’t have to go to business school to know not to be a jerk to your customers. Why? Because other customers will notice and stop patronizing your establishment.
Surprised they didn’t teach you that.

YUM!!! tons of toppings, lots of ice cream flavors, crazy long hours, and staff that is ALWAYS CLEANING. i love me some clean ice cream joints!
this is a definite must go. hopefully it will encourage a revitalization of the surrounding shops and westmont theatre across the street.

I may have found love in the form of frozen yogurt. And endless choices of frozen yogurt flavors and toppings. While I’m a grown woman, I couldn’t help but feel like an 8 year old on Christmas morning when making my creation.
The business model/​gimmick is genius: tons of flavors, tons of toppings, charge by the ounce. Give people huge cups, and, just like the salad bar syndrome, they will unwittingly fill their cups with so much fro-​yo and toppings that it ends up being an $ 8 – 9 dessert. I’m not saying this is a bad thing, it’s just how it is (and brilliant business on the part of Yogo).
So if you want to maximize the bang for your buck, stick with toppings that don’t weigh as much. Fruit? $$$. Sprinkles or Reese’s Puffs? $. It’s all in the weight, people.
That being said, I don’t mind dropping dough on an indulgence once in a while, given how delicious it can be.
PS~Come to Chicago and I will be a happy woman.

As a ticket-​carrying member aboard the current froyo bandwagon, I was excited to check out the Yogo Factory. Upon first glance, this place looks like any of the other frozen yogurt places that have been popping up lately, except maybe with a crazy Willy Wonka spin. The facility is bright and spacious, with an entire wall lined with flavors and almost 360 degrees of the center island surfaced with toppings. All of the usual suspects are there: candy, fruit, cereal, and sauces, and there are a lot of unusual choices within each category.
I wanted to like this place a lot, but there were several disappointments. The staff seemed unable to keep up with the volume of customers in the store (on a Saturday evening, around 9pm), and so not only were the lines to pay long (and infringing on my ability to reach certain toppings), but there seemed to be a mess everywhere. There were rogue toppings around the counters and dropped into the wrong containers, syrups spilled, and sloppy froyo spigots. The pricing seemed high compared to other similar establishments, and the mediocre flavor of the yogurts didn’t justify the total cost.
I might give Yogo Factory another chance if I were passing through at an off-​time, but it’s more likely that I’d hit up the Rita’s down the street for a gelati instead.

It was nice to see something go into the old Wow Video spot. It’s bright and well decorated. Think the GAP meets Starbucks, except they are selling yogurt.
I got two different kinds of yogurt, a chocolate and a peanut butter. I filled it up to about ¾ of the smallest cup that was available. They have a plethora of toppings. I got a few M&M sprinkles, some fresh blueberries and some raspberries. The girl at the counter then weighed my selection. I was annoyed that the total weight was not displayed. The total was over 8 bucks at .49 cents an ounce. Ouch. The counter staff also didn’t seem too familiar with what is needed to get a discount using Foursquare. They probably should familiarize the staff better with that if they are going to offer that option.
I sat down and proceeded to eat the yogurt. Neither the chocolate nor the peanut butter tasted that great. The blueberries and raspberries were pretty good though.
I can’t really see going back. It’s too expensive. Now the owner or manager is going to say, well we do offer discounts for liking us on Facebook and printing out a coupon. That’s true. but those only subtract a buck or so from the total. Unless you get a very small portion of yogurt and toppings, it isn’t going to make a significant difference in price.

I had gone to the Yogo Factory (YF) this past Friday night. The place was mobbed with kiddies (as it should be). I just went again tonight, it was less crowded. The inside décor is very cheerful. I think the yogurt tastes good. If I had to make a comparison, I would say the yogurt is similar to the Kiwi yogurt chain… but the YF is larger (huge) and has a lot more topping varieties.
I prefer the Low Fat versus the Non Fat. (live a little). Tonight, I had the vanilla yogurt with chocolate syrup, peanut butter/​chocolate chunks, pretzels and strawberries for my toppings. The strawberries were key, it kind of cut the sweetness a little bit, perfect mix. I like the fruit toppings!
The employees (young staff) were very friendly/​courteous. The place looked clean. The price point per ounce is reasonable. This place is way too close to my home, that could be dangerous as I think I can get addicted to this :-)
I’m a fan and I will be back.

This is another self serve frozen yogurt establishment to hit the area and it’s good. They have a large selection of flavors and an even larger selection of toppings. The flavors we tried were more on the creamy side, not as icy.
You create your own, you pay by the ounce. Pretty self explanatory. I for one welcome the new addition to Westmont cause one can only do so much ice and custard (blech). A hit in my book!
