FreshBerry Frozen Yogurt Cafe

Cute little date spot right off Hillsborough street. The staff is super nice and keep the toppings bar extremely neat and tidy!
My only beef with this place is their lack of fresh fruit toppings… I would have loved to see a little higher quality toppings within their selection instead of mostly candy and cereal products.
The frozen yogurt is of good quality. I would have liked to have been able try different flavors before committing to one, but was overall happy with my selection.

Not very impressed with this place. No sampler cups to try flavors were to be seen. No help from the staff was forthcoming, even though we were the only customers. Toppings were very limited, not very exciting, and not labeled as to what they were. They need to step up their game here.

FreshBerry offers several flavors of frozen yogurt and toppings that you can find at typical frozen yogurt shops. They also offer other desserts, smoothies, and some café-​style food. I might eventually try these other offerings. This review focuses on the frozen yogurt.
To keep it short and simple, those who had good frozen yogurt will be highly disappointed by FreshBerry. FreshBerry’s yogurt just isn’t berry good, unlike their vastly superior cousin, Pinkberry.
Even those who have not had the crazy awesome froyo at food meccas should look elsewhere for frozen yogurt. While Pinkberry doesn’t exist in Raleigh, Yogurtland does! Even those who swear by FreshBerry will be blown away by Yogurtland.

Decent yogurt flavor options. Tart, chocolate, vanilla, pumpkin, coconut, strawberry and cookies and cream. A fantastic variety of toppings and they sell cupcakes! This is a one stop shop for all things sweet!

Incredibly clean service stations and store in general. Very good service and great ice cream. Gets a little busy on the weekends, but that’s to be expected for any store on Hillsborough street. Overall, great ice cream shop.

I love the variety of toppings (Cap’n Crunch, Cap’n Crunchberries, chocolate chip cookie pieces, brownie pieces, sauces, actual marshmallows, several kinds of nuts, white chocolate chips, gummy bears, fresh fruit, and more, and more, and more), which they keep so full that each topping bin is a veritable mound. I would like hot fudge though, and not a thing of that yucky Hershey’s syrup. ;(
The yogurt isn’t as creamy and rich as I’d like, but what I do love is that their restaurant is EXCEPTIONALLY tidy. However, they shouldn’t keep the toppings *quite* so full, in my opinion, just because it’s literally impossible to get any out without making a huge mess. The girls who were working each time I went didn’t seem to mind constantly tidying, however, and they was doing a whooooole lot of cleaning all while we were there.
Sample cups are hidden, so you must ask for those. There is only one size of yogurt cup… which makes people like me want to fill it up to the tippy top. Not recommended unless you want to be 9,000 lbs.
** The yogurt is also priced by weight… so be careful with overloading those cups!
The menu is HORRIBLY designed — it uses some fancy and pretty fonts, but you absolutely cannot read it easily… and don’t even notice that it’s a menu! The pricing also isn’t clear, due to the horribly cluttered menu design.
The flavors, to me, were just «alright»; I actually like Goodberry’s flavors (and creaminess) better, but of course that’s frozen custard and NOT frozen yogurt. So irrelevant, really. Sorry about that.
I’d like to go back here and try the cupcakes. Some of them are only $ 1.50, or $ 2, or something super cheap on a couple days of the week, and I am ALL ABOUT that cupcake life. They look positively delectable.

I have been to this place for over a year and we drive from Rolesville, NC. I love the cupcakes!!!

This is one of the better yogurt shop I have been to in Raleigh. Very clean and great location downtown. I was out for a bike ride during the summer and needed to cool off and eat something lite. I had the turkey sandwich combo with chips and salsa. Never would’ve thought this would be good but I was surprised the bread and meat had a very good taste. I imagined a cheap low quality taste from a yogurt shop making sandwiches but not at all. After my sandwich the yogurt and what a treat the flavors and toppings were great. I’ve been to other places in Raleigh and I was impressed by fresh berry and their setup of flavors and toppings to go with. To me (just my opinion) fresh is in my top 3 yogurt shops in Raleigh

An ordinary store of cupcakes, yogurt/​smoothie, sandwich and coffee/​tea. I’m not too crazy about it but I was intrigue to taste it. I was not impressed by the cupcakes. I skipped the yogurt and coffee and had a smoothie with two fruits mixed of strawberry and mango, and a specialty sandwich. The lady was nice and off I go.

As far as I’m concerned this yogurt shop is almost as «good as it gets» except it doesn’t have hot fudge. Instead there is a bottle of Hershey’s syrup sitting off to the side as an afterthought. But other than that the yogurt is deliciously creamy and the toppings plentiful and the topping bar is clean. The fruit looked fresh but I’m more of the lets get the low calorie yogurt so I can negate it by adding all sorts of sweet, processed toppings! And i enjoyed every last bite.

Great froyo place — all the flavors that I got were solid, and my favorite was a combination of the clementine and vanilla mousse, which tasted EXACTLY like a creamy orangesicle… yum. Toppings are decent as well. The place is somewhat small and as a result carries fewer variety of flavors and toppings than I’m used to with larger froyo places, but overall a solid place to sit down and enjoy some froyo after visiting the restaurants nearby.

I admit that I can’t review this personally for their frozen yogurt because I went with my co-​workers and two got froyo and two got cupcakes. I didn’t hear any complaints on the froyo but the cupcakes, c’mon guys for $ 3 I could make about two dozen of what you are selling. The cake part of the cupcake (chocolate crème cupcake) definitely tasted like it was devils food cake out of the box and the frosting was most definitely out of a can put into a fancy bag to make the frosting look pretty on the cupcake. I took a bite and then asked my co-​worker to try hers and let me know what she thought. Without saying a word we both thought the same thing. So, froyo, yes, cupcakes, don’t waste your money!

The service and cleanliness of this Freshberry parallels how good the yogurt is! They now have sandwiches and cupcakes that are better than Gigi’s by far! I’m officially a fan. Ps: Does anybody else notice how good this place smells?

Love it, love it. One of the better tasting self-​serve yogurt concepts currently out there. While I tend to stick with my mainstay selections of both yogurt and toppings (boring, I know), I have noticed that there is very little variation in offerings here.
In other competing shops around the country, I notice a more active turning over of flavors. Freshberry’s should mix it up a bit more to prompt greater return traffic. They also stopped offering samples a few months ago because some patrons were abusing the practice. I suggest reinstating sampling to avoid ‘punishing’ the many for the sins of the few. Patrons are less likely to try something new if they can’t sample it first. Just sayin’…
Update: it seems as if there is still very little rotation in the yogurt flavors offered, which gets me leaning toward a 3-​star rating. I don’t care to get sandwiches or cupcakes here; so, if things don’t change I am going to have to downgrade Freshberry’s a little bit.

I first discovered this froyo joint last summer, and I’ve since spent a lot of time (at least a dozen) here with friends sitting outside watching the people go by on Hillsborough Street. I pretty much always get the tart and raspberry flavors here. Their toppings are fresh, and I typically go for their berries because they are really tasty.
The soundtrack here is fun (if repetitive… I’m sure it slowly drives the employees insane). It includes some 90s throwbacks and early 2000 jams I haven’t heard in a long while.
One downside is you cannot get a cup of water. I have seriously gone into the bathroom before to fill up my empty yogurt cup with tap water from the sink. Another downside is the parking situation. It can be a little difficult to find a space close to the storefront, but I’ve never not found one.

Once upon a time, last Thursday in the middle of this crazy oppressive heat wave, my boyfriend and I parked on the other other side of Pullen Park and walked to the Hillsborough Street side of NC State campus to watch an outdoor movie, because that’s probably a wise thing to do in this climate.
When we arrived, I was thirsty, and ventured down Hillsborough in search of a smoothie and an ice water.
Freshberry delivered on the smoothie part. Tart frozen yogurt mixed with noticeably fresh strawberries and blueberries. Absolutely no complaints. But when I asked if I could get a cup of water, I was told that they only had bottled water.
For real? It’s 100+ degrees in North Carolina, and your location is across from a campus fraught with students walking from destination to destination. I didn’t think it was too much to ask for a plastic cup of tap water after purchasing a $ 5 smoothie. Just something to consider, Freshberry.

i really enjoyed purchasing frozen yogurt from this place, and i will definitely come back again when i move into Raleigh. i liked the self serve, it was a great way to get exactly what i wanted.

I visited this froyo shop maybe around 10 times last summer, when I found myself a summer student at NC State. A pretty typical froyo place, with the regular offerings of flavors and toppings. The flavors rotate, and the toppings are varied and plenty: fruits, baked goods, chocolates and candies, mochi… I didn’t note much during my time there…
BUT If you plan on frequenting this place regularly (as I did), ASK FOR A CARD. I don’t know what they call it, but it’s a simple rewards card that you hand over each time you make a purchase, and once you reach 25 or 30 dollars or something (don’t quote me on this, I don’t remember the amount!) you get a free treat. Nice, huh? I didn’t know about this the first few times.

Lots of Fresh Berries
Visit: 9÷14÷11
I was running an errand this afternoon and I rode by Fresh Berry (on my bicycle). As soon as I saw the FreshBerry sign, I was instantly hungry. So I decided to stop in for my mid-​afternoon snack. I love these new frozen yogurt shops with the self-​serve model. I can get exactly what I want! There were 8 frozen yogurt flavors, a few nonfat and no sugar added varieties. The no sugar flavors contain Splenda. I was disappointed that they didn’t have vanilla with sugar just vanilla with Splenda. I don’t do artificial sweeteners. ‘Tart’ was one of the flavors and I asked for a little cup to try it. At first I thought it was a little strange because it was tart but it didn’t have any other flavor I could identify… ya know like lemon or lime… just tart. But I thought it would go well with some sweet berries so I put some in my very large cup. I also added some nonfat strawberry and chocolate yogurts so I could determine which I liked best. There was a smörgåsbord of candy and nuts to add and a variety of fresh fruit. They also offered squares of brownie and cake. I decided to make a Berry Feast… piling on fresh strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. When I was finished creating my yummy dessert, I went to the cash register to pay. You’re charged by the weight. This could be dangerous particularly for my husband or others with ‘eyes bigger than their stomachs’-lol! The berries were all fresh and the strawberries were a little hard but actually sweet. The whole sundae was delicious. The yogurts were very creamy, smooth, and tasty. It was a tie for my favorite yogurt flavor between the strawberry and chocolate yogurts. I really like this concept of self-​serve and can imagine endless combinations.

Love this place! I’ve tried several of the yogurt places in the Triangle, and this one is my favorite. I think they have the best Tart flavor of anyone around. The fruit topping are also fresh, not frozen, like some of the other places.
