Krave Frozen Yogurt

I am so sad this place is closed :(
It was my favorite frozen yogurt place. I literally almost started crying when I drove into the parking lot and saw that it was closed.
I will mourn the loss of Krave forever!

My wife and I love this place. We discovered it because of the groupon, and wish we had known about it sooner. The guy that helped us both times we’ve been there is super nice! He encourages you to sample, and is more than generous with the pulls and toppings.
Show this place some love! Best frozen yogurt in Nashvegas!

I want people to come here! It’s a small shop in Green Hills in a hidden area, but it needs some attention. Ample parking and long open hours also makes this place great. This shop has been here for three years, but I didn’t even hear about it until I got the Groupon. The service was excellent– my friend and I got samples of all their flavors before we had to choose as well as extra toppings on the side just because. The main reason for the 5 stars is the TARO. Coming from the west coast, I crave taro-​flavored froyo and Nashville’s huge selection of froyo shops could not deliver. I will come here solely for the taro. The medium size was generous and so were the fresh fruit toppings I requested. The yogurt is of fabulous quality– not too sweet like Sweet Cece’s and more generous in portion size than Pinkberry. Don’t let this gem disappear– come to Krave!

We showed up on a Sunday, pulled into a mostly deserted parking lot. The Krave attendant was outside talking on his cell phone… no biggie, no customers = do whatever you want. He saw us, finished his conversation and went in to wash up.
Me and the wife ordered, and ~$ 10 later we have two smallish cups of froyo. Mine was good, not $ 5 good however. I’m not entirely sure, but I think the large there is smaller than your average Froverlord CiCi’s cup… I know by the time I was done with the tasty treat I was already calculating how much waste product was produced, which seemed to be less than CiCis by far, so my guess is a smaller cup.
They do take credit cards now, noticed a review before that says they didn’t. They take Amex, so you can get your 30 cents of costco cash back for a couple of Yo’s. The credit slip has a convenient tip line if you don’t think $ 10 for 2 pulls on a handle to dispense 18 cents worth of product is enough (sorry man, I’ll pour my own overpriced trend food, nothing against you or your job).
The inside of the place is decorated like any other FroYo joint — kind of gaudily with those 60’s esque chairs. I felt that at any moment several people would come out and dance to the Austin Powers Theme Song.
The strip it is in is abandoned on Sunday… it was kind of surreal… zombie Blockbuster, Blimpie closed, wine merchant closed.
It’s not a bad place, but it’s way overpriced and doesn’t seem to have any sort of pull to me… there’s no reason I would go there again… I mean, other than price there’s no reason I wouldn’t, but I found the store sort of sterile and bland.

Krave is a nearly hidden bright modern little yogurt shop in a strip mall across from the Mall at Green Hills. It is super sparse and vibed with techno tunes.
It is not serve yourself, rather $ 3.33 for a small, $ 4.44 for a medium and $ 5,55 for a large. (plus tax) You get unlimited toppings for .99 cents, but unless you are 6 years old and want a topping suicide, a dollar for a few cookie crumbs is a bit much. I did not experience a hollow center as stated by earlier reviewers, but I do agree its a bit steep.
I tried ginger lemon and the hubs had cheesecake. Neither of us felt like paying for toppings. My flavor was pretty unique and yummy but cheesecake tasted like anything you could score at Sweet Cece or Menchi’s.
It’d do in a pinch and its much MUCH quieter than other area yogurt shops, so I give them that ;)

Krave is hands down the best frozen yogurt around. We have tried Golden Spoon and Menchis. Of the two, Menchi’s was better. So far No one even comes close to Krave and the taste and texture.

Krave puts PinkBerry and the other Nashville fro-​yo joints to shame. I always assumed that PinkBerry would taste better (because of all of the hype) and have fewer calories, but that is incorrect on both counts. Krave has significantly fewer calories and a much better flavor, in my opinion. The taste can be unexpected at first but once you’ve had your first Krave experience, you’ll be thinking about it again and again. The cheesecake flavor doesn’t even need toppings– it’s 5-​star flavor just as it is.

It was positively goopy. It had neither a rich chocolate flavor, nor a sweet creamy or yogurty flavor. It was just not enjoyable.
The location was not easily visble from Abbott Martin Rd. The location was extremely sparse and underfurnished. There were the tables and the counter. Nothing on the walls, and little on the glass storefront.
I have no intention of going back.

I’ve been to so many yogurt places in Nashville, but Krave is by far the best. Their original tart flavor is sweet without drenching the pallot in sugar, and I absolutely loved the mango flavor. At first, I was deterred by the price, but they recently restructured and the small – which is beyond plenty for me – is a mere three dollars. I can’t stress enough how much I like Krave’s frozen yogurt with all of the healthy toppings and even the not-​so-​healthy options too (try Cap’n Crunch with the cheescake flavor… it’s delightful).

Maybe if I was the Czar of Yogurt Town I could appreciate this exorbitantly expensive and amazingly mediocre dessert, however I would request mine be served in a Faberge egg. The taste of this yogurt is meh and it doesn’t make sense to charge an entire dollar extra for a flavor. How many bags of flavor powder do they have laying around in the back? And must I pay one dollar for a mere ¹⁄₈ teaspoon of flavoring? I also don’t appreciate the hot dog stand-​like display of toppings. If you’ve never been to a yogurt plus toppings place, you may be astounded, but TCBY in the 90’s would have kicked this place in the behind. Two gross yogurts for $ 13? You be the judge. Well actually I am, and I just did, and mouth fart.

The many times I visited Nashville I can’t believe this is my first time to try out krave. The yogurt was ahhhh-​mayyy-​zing! The fruits were so fresh and the store was open late! lovessss it!

Ah, the guiltless, light, mysteriously dairy treat that is Tasti D-​Lite.
Krave Frozen Yogurt just kicked Tasti D-Lite’s ass. I’d give Krave 4.5 stars if I could. (5 stars has to be reserved for those totally outstanding dining experiences, like tayst…)
Krave yogurt is SO good. It’s got all the same claims that all of the other modern frozen yogurt when it comes to being a «healthier» treat. However, Krave yogurt is bursting with flavor. It’s smooth, icy yet creamy, satisfying, and refreshing. It was explained to me that Krave serves a «true» frozen yogurt. I had a twist of Pink Guava and Cheesecake flavors, topped with pineapple and Captain Crunch cereal, and it was served in a deep dixie bowl. Yes, I said a deep dixie bowl. Maybe enough folks complained about the inverse cone-​shaped bowl!
I have been to Pinkberry and was a little confused by the hoop-​lah. The tartness was alarming and strange. However, I loved Krave’s original tart flavor. And the other flavors REALLY tasted like what they claimed to be, whereas Tasti D-Lite’s dairy dessert is mostly. well, «lite» tasting, with a hint of «chocolate» or «Snickers» or whatever.
Krave was the best ending to my good day.

Great frozen yogurt flavors (I had cheesecake and mango, Tom had pink guava and cheesecake), and the fruit toppings are fresh too! We’ll definitely go back. .. .

I am so glad I waited to try this place just before going back to California because it is an expensive habit. I got the tart and toffee and it was so good. Definitely a satisfying treat in this heat.
They only take cash.

I have been to Krave once. The atmosphere is kind of quirky and cute. The fake pebble flooring is rad. The Yogurt was fantastic. What was weird to me is that when they made the yogurt it was as if they left it hollow. So that it was like lining the bowl then on the top but the inside was basically empty so I felt like the size of the bowls were deceiving. BUT it was good and the toppings were great. I may be back for more.

found this via Unilocal — definitely wouldn’t have noticed it otherwise as it’s tucked away in a strip mall.
really enjoyed the small tart with blueberries, strawberries and blackberries. as mentioned, they don’t really fill the cup with froyo — it’s more of a hollow inverse cone. not sure why they do this — I’d just buy smaller cups and pour the proper amount. the employee was working very delicately and deliberately to place the toppings in just the right spot — changing the way they pour the froyo might also make this a bit easier.
just under $ 5 out the door, not cheap, but i appreciated that the fruit was truly fresh and wasn’t defrosted goop. support your local businesses!

Great find. Definitely comparable to Pinkberry or Red Mango in terms of quality, choices and overall store design and vibe. Very cool inside, a fortune must have been spent building this space out. The yogurt is actually better than Pinkberry in taste and quality. Pinkberry mixes powder with liquid and Krave uses real frozen liquid yogurt that is more perishable. I met the owner Inga and he was pretty cool. They’ll do very well and I will be back. I had regular flavor yogurt with Cap’n Crunch, Strawberries and Coconut. Yum!

Hooray! Nashville is late as usual to the trend but it got here, didn’t it? They weren’t taking credit cards yet so they let me start a tab. How cool is that? Also, why is everything in Green Hills now?

I’m going to give this place four stars because it’s here. In Nashville. I’m so glad that someone decided to go out on a limb and offer frozen yogurt that is similar to Pinkberry/​Red Mango. It’s a gamble, but I think they’ll do well.
The yogurt selections are plentiful and most are quite yummy. The toppings are all fresh and delicious. The environment is clean and inviting.
Sure, it might be pricier than Yogurt Oasis, but I wouldn’t even think about setting foot back in Yogurt Oasis after having been there once and not inspired at all to purchase. Krave rocks! I will be back here often!

stuck in Nashville and needing a Pinkberry or Red Mango fix? Krave is your spot. nice selection of flavored yogurt (mango, red guava, green tea) including the tart style served @ PB/​RM. I prefer Red Mango’s tart flavor but Krave satisfies when you’re jonesin’.
Blows away Yogurt Oasis.
