Squeeze & Scoop

If you want a treat in a hurry this is a fun place to stop and make your own Frozen Yogurt bowl of delishness! Lots of flavors to pick from, Mango and Vanilla were my favorite until they came out with Red Velvet! Yummy! Top with as much or as little as you want and pay by the ounce.
I still love 21 Choices for a true Gourmet Fo-​Yo experience, but if I want something quickly, this place foots the bill!

Had the Original tart and Mango tart both were tasty. Topping area was clean and the fruit was fresh. It was getting late so some items were running low but that’s understandable. If I’m in Old Town and looking for quick dessert then I would come here again.

Green apple! This place is really good this was the first official fro-​yo place I had to start my addiction and the green apple got me hooked. They also have chocolate rock candies that go quick because they’re absolutely the best. I heard they now carry red velvet cake so I had to go and see if the rumor was true, and it was! The only thing that bothers me about this place is that it’s not the cleanliest, there were smudges on the tables and the drains under the nozzles were full of melted fro yo. =\ it’s still a good place I just think they need to hire and new attendant that doesn’t just lean around the cashier counter! (ooooh snap yea I said it!)

Seems like this place is everyone’s plan B after seeing the wait at 21 Scoops. (line is freaking out the door and around the corner!)
Plain tart is decent, too icy in my opinion.
Much variety in flavor, such as green apple & pomegranate.
Not enough variety of toppings, everything is very miniature and crushed up pieces rather than real chunks…
Seating/​design is very cool, complete w/​disco lights!

My first time here! Well actually first time in a yogurt place like this. So interesting i was like a kid in a candy store wanting to try everything that was in there.hha. Squeeze & Scoop has a nice decorations, it felt like you in a igloo hha. the place look so bright!
What so awesome about this place is they have a choice of blueberry, coconut, chocolate (my fave), plain yogurt, cheesecake, coffee (my fave), strawberry, and pineapple. You can also mix (oh did i mention its serve yourself?!) like for me i mixed chocolate with coffee Yum! Love how i could mix other stuff on it too. like fruits etc on top of it. i think it measures by ounce i think it was 32cent an ounce. I wasnt paying attention because of all the lights in there.
And yes this place does not have a public restroom.
I cant even believe it myself that I havent been here. A long time ago! Where have I been?!

Bleh! Back in October 2008, I was tempted by the self-​serve variety, and this place was the first stop of my fro-​yo hopping frenzy after landing in LA. It HAD to get better from there. Tart flavors tasted artificial and looked brighter than normal. Even with all the flavors in my cup, the cost was super cheap (compared to Bay Area prices), probably due to the yogurt being light and airy. I should have stuck with original tart only. Were there even any live cultures? I honestly don’t remember. Fro-​yo knock-off…never again. My first 1-​star review goes to Squeeze & Scoop.

I totally love this place! The prices are great and there are a ton of flavors and topping options. I can get my kid a huge frozen yogurt with every topping he wants (he wants them all) for less than $ 3. It’s always clean and organized when I go. Most of the flavors are great, but the vanilla sucks. It’s kind of watery and is always too cold. Guaranteed brain freeze. None of the other flavors seem to have that problem.

First ‘n foremost, I should be constitutionally prohibited from writing any froyo joint reviews. ALL FROYOS TASTE ABOUT THE SAME TO ME. Yes I said it. You walk into a froyo place on a hot day to chill your core temperature, that’s the whole point of the $ 4 you just spent.
And that’s what I got from Squeeze and Scoop — except you neither have to squeeze hard nor scoop deep to get what you crave at the moment. As a matter of fact, you don’t even need to crave anything particular — the self-​serve mechanism gives you the illusion of eat-​all-​you-​can and leaves you blissfully ignorant of your bleeding pocket.
What earned this place a 4 star is really just the location. Situated in the heart of the Old Town, this place is awash with fashionistas who obviously haven’t spent enough to load up their trunk. The rest of us has plenty of space to sit there and watch. Burp.

At first glacé I thought «Is this a club or what?». Light up walls, loud music and wide screen TV playing U2 in concert were happening.
You have 12 different flavors to choose from. I am sure they change all the time but there is always the standard vanilla and chocolate as well as tart. The tart here was very good — in fact this is what me and my girlfriends all ended up getting without conferring with each other.
I sampled most of their flavors and you know what? I was good. I really didn’t want anymore. But then that would have been so cheap and tacky to just walk away. So I got a small tub of yogurt and I’m so glad I did. The way it just melts on your tongue…
Toppings were not as plentiful as Cherry on Top (also in Pasadena), but still did the trick.
It’s a great way to spend the evening while strolling up and down Colorado.

People who find locations for Pinkberry should be shot. They are always located at the most inconvenient places with really bad parking. Squeeze & Scoop is located just a few shops away from Pinkberry, but they have quite the upper-​hand since it is located on the main street while Pinkberry is tucked away on a side street. Pretty big location for a fro-​yo shop. The price $ 0.38 an ounce is typical for fro-​yo with good locations (ie busy mall, lots of foot traffic). Typical self serve flavors include vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter, cheesecake, blueberry, green tea and plain. I really liked their strawberry/​banana and mango flavors. Haven’t seen those flavors at Yogurtland.
In general, I like self serve fro-​yo places because I can get a much as I want and don’t have to limit myself to a few toppings only.

Squeeze and Unilocal
Good froyo… but I still prefer the flavor and consistency of Pink Berry. I have to say, I do like the fact that you serve yourself and pay by the ounce. Something about being able to control the amount and get exactly what you want is the attraction to this froyo shop. You can mix as many different flavors and top it with as many different toppings as you want. Yay for that!
Now for the actual froyo part. In my opinion, I would like for my FROZEN yogurt to stay frozen longer than 5 minutes. As soon as I left the shop, my yogurt started liquifying and I felt like I had to eat it quickly. I tried the plain and the mango tart today… Yipee for Mango Tart, Eh for Plain. They do have a vanilla that I tasted that was pretty tasty… reminded me of McD’s frozen yogurt.
As far as the toppings are concerned… I heart that they have lychee and mandarin oranges. They had a good variety of fruit, nuts, etc. and even chocolate, caramel and marshmallow crème.
All in all, worth a try, but it’s definitely different from Pink Berry. So if you’re a Pink Berry fan, you may be a tad disappointed.

YUM!
I’ve had my fair share of Pinkberry knock-​offs, but this one has to be my favorite. I’m basing my judgement off of the green tea flavor… other places just can’t get it right. But this nummy little shop has the mixture down to perfection. Add a little mochi and yogurt chips and you’re set for one sweet treat!
Delicious yogurt (the original tart is VERY tart), good assortment of toppings, and a great price (I think it was something like $.40/​oz or something like that… all I know is three people’s cups came to $ 12. Oh, and the atmosphere’s pretty cool too. I love me some shiny things and the tables are decorated with iridescent pebbles similar to what you’d see in a fish tank. And there’s a mini lazer show that goes on in the background. Neat-​o!
Yaaaay for Squeeze & Scoop!

This is my new go-​to place for froyo. My sister and I stumbled upon this place one day while shopping in Old Town. Being the froyo fiends that we are, we decided to give this place a shot.
My, oh my. We were glad we made that decision. The concept is the same as Yogurtland. You pay by the ounce, but it’s 38 cents an ounce here versus Yogurtland’s 30 cents. The fruits were so fresh and yummy. When I go to these froyo places, I tend to base their overall quality by the quality and taste of their mango because I just love love love mangoes. Most places I’ve been to have terrible sour and hard mango. Squeeze & Scoop had some of the best mangoes I’ve ever had.
The yogurt flavors were delicious as well. We had a little bit of the strawberry banana, green tea and plain tart. My sister usually hates anything green tea flavored, but she loved their green tea flavored yogurt. It’s the best green tea flavored froyo I’ve ever had. It was creamy compared to Yogurtland’s iciness. We practically inhaled our yogurt.
I’m definitely coming here everytime I stop by Old Town. I love this place! It beats Yogurtland, Pinkberry, and all those other joints any day!

Similar to YogurtLand: help yourself to multiple flavors and toppings, then pay by weight. Squeeze & Scoop is better than YogurtLand because of the creamy consistency of the yogurt (like Pberry) whereas YL is icy (like Ce Fiore). It is unlike Pberry, however, because it is softer (more melty).
Some of their flavors: Hawaiian Punch, café latte, peach tart, mango, blueberry tart, chocolate, plain tart, vanilla, and strawberry banana. My favorite was the peach tart but I could skip the Hawaiian Punch.
They have a nice selection of toppings: mochi, lychee, graham cracker crust, cookie dough, whole strawberries, mango slices, etc… but the quality of their toppings is mediocre.
$ 3.38/oz and no line. I’d rather come here that Pinkberry.

The boyfriend and I ventured in here today to have a taste…
The décor of the place is this weird, ultra sleek, completely modernized techno/​dance club vibe. This doesn’t suite the place very well. considering their logo on their products is all roundy with cute fruits. Two conflicting images, its like they couldn’t pick to which crowd they wanted to be appealing. (Sorry, the boyfriend is a web designer, so i start noticing these things as well.)
That aside… the price is awesome! You walk in, grab a cup, and fill up. However much frozen yogurt you want, and whatever toppings you want. You are in control. Then when you’re done with you’re masterpiece, you walk up to the register and they weigh it, its 38 cents per oz.
I tried cheesecake and vanilla, with strawberries and granola topping. The frozen yogurt flavors i got were too sweet. i expected the cheesecake to have a tang to it, but sadly no. Its kind of flavorless. i dunno. i think Golden Spoon is far better as far as the way the yogurt tastes and the balance of sugar to tang.
The boyfriend tried the blueberry, with blueberries on top. He seemed to really enjoy it, i heard no complaints from his lips.
All in all, a positive experience. Obviously this place is WAY better than Pinkberry, if not for the price alone (Pinkberry is like what, $ 8 for a spoonful?) then definitely for the wide variety of toppings and yogurt flavors.

Three stars because it’s cheaper than pinkberry and they have more flavors.
When I went, the tart flavors were:
strawberry
plain
blueberry
mango
regular flavors:
cheesecake
café latte
and few others I can’t remember
They have a whole lotta toppings for your yogurt-​y pleasure, but the fruit is cut up in big chunks, which doesn’t allow an even toppings-​yogurt spoon combination and makes it a bit more expensive, since they charge by the ounce. And, because it’s self-​serve, you’d think that the yogurt and toppings bar would be a hot mess with every tom, jane, and 5-​year old helping themselves, but everything was spotless. No drips or crumbs.
The yogurt itself was creamy and slightly more watery than pinkberry or cefiore. The blueberry actually tasted like blueberry yogurt, but wasn’t necessarily my favorite. The plain was a little TOO plain for my liking and the mango was ok, but I’ve had better. Perhaps next time I’ll try the non-​tart flavors to see how it compares to 21 choices down the street.
The décor is minimal and nice. I love the blue tones. It’s got that «hip frozen yogurt» vibe to it. There’s plenty of space to sit, which I can’t say about pinkberry, and it’s pretty spacious, so even if there’s a bunch of people, it probably wouldn’t feel too cramped.
They charge about 38 cents per ounce which means it comes out to be cheaper than other froyo places. I do wish they had more berries though. They only had blueberries and strawberries when I went.

Yes! A new frozen yogurt place in Old Town with lots of seating area! Pinkberry must be poopin in their pants! Yay~! I’m so glad they closed down that stupid clothing store that used to be at this location. Good job! *pats previous owner’s shoulder*

If you ask me, it sounds like Hershey squirts for the lactose intolerant with this name. What are you squeezing?
Squeeze makes me think of — - zits, orange juice, constipation… OK i need to stop.
This fro yo place reminds me of that Justin Timberlake video «Rock Your Body» which was also featured as a Bally’s Total Fitness advertisement. The yogurt literally shoots out and it always squirts out wetness first. Bleh. The consistency is way too watery and not cold/​icy enough.
The toppings are standard. The layout is very strange. The flashing lights known as artwork can either take you back to carnival rides or cause a seizure.
NO MORE FRO YO IN OLD TOWN PLEASE!!! 8 is ENOUGH!

Squeeze and scoop and slurp and dip and bend and bend now touch your toes and one and two now step and slide and step and slide that’s how it goes.
Sorry, I went to the bahamas for a second…
Squeeze and Scoop, actually «Squeeze&Scoop» is the latest incarnation of our fascination that started with «Carnation» (still baking the very best btw)
This is one of those serve yourself jobbies — where you do all the work and then pay the cashier at the end. Well, it’s hard to call it work. In fact it’s hard not to get carried away.
They’ve got about 10 flavors, and a couple sugar free and I believe they offer a dairy free sorbet. Speaking of dairy. The process is a bit like milking a cow. You take your cup from udder to udder and milk out your flavor.
Now that I’ve forever turned you off of frozen yogurt, let’s proceed.
The plain flavor is the very best. Tart, and yogurty, with an underlying sharpness but just a tad too creamy for me. I prefer icy. Next best was the peach. They offer five tart flavors and then some creamy ones like cheesecake and vanilla.
Get a sample cup and go from flavor to flavor. If you leave a little in the bottom of the sample cup, you can easily get a good shot of each flavor. After that, you actually can leave because if you played it right that’s about a serving. Hehehehehe.
But, grab a cup, because at the end of the rainbow are the toppings. The best ones are the brightly colored grass jellies. They shimmer like a bank of multicolored jewels and add a bouncy texture as well as a sweet counterpoint to the tartness of the plain flavor.
Also, they provide the coveted lychee and rare cookie dough balls — let’s not forget the tiny m&m’s, and various sauces, but no honey. Someone tell me where I can find a place that serves honey.
I hear that honey on plain tart is excellent. (you know who you are)
.38 an oz. Two rather packed mediums came in at under 10 cow patties including tax.
Squeeze & Scoop. Seriously though, they should change the name. Oh hell no, here’s a better idea, they should set up a shop in a Sit N Sleep!
In the bahamas…

Horrible, but pretty place. Its new so I’m guessing its not perfected yet.
You can taste the mixture or powder in the yogurt still, & its mushy. Green Apple was not working when I went. I would recommend the mango & original if you had two choices.
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — –
Toppings: Good selection (it has my usual favorites of chinese jelly, mochi, fruity pebbles, gummy bears, etc… Even has Nerds, which is new topping for me.
Environment: Its old town so its chill. Pretty with comfy seats, but not too many tables or seats.
Parking: Old Town Pasadena Parking — Paid Structure, Free street parking, Meter Parking.
Price: Self Serve .38 Cents per ounce! =x Yogurtland sells .30 cents per ounce. Still cheaper than pinkberry or other non-​self serve places I guess.

Probably would not go back again just for yogurt. =X Sorry, probably wait a month or two until the maintenance & creation of yogurt is perfected better.
