Yogurt r Rock

I hear that if you patronize this establishment often enough, that you are more likely to get into heaven. I think it must be true, because whenever I partake of a few spoonfulls of their creamy smooth concoctions, I hear angels sing. Yogurt r rock. Give it a try and up your karma points.

Great froyo place adjacent to the kids haircut…

The tag line for 2 stars says it all … «Meh. I’ve experienced better». In this recent wave of self-​serve froyo joints that seem to be opening up everywhere, this was actually the first one I tried. But since, I’ve been to others and can do a better job comparing them. This definitely isn’t my favorite but if you are in the area then by all means it’ll serve the purpose of self-​serve frozen yogurt. I am uncertain if it has staying power as eventually the market will be saturated (if its not already) with these establishments (reminds me of the earlier Curves phenomenon).
I don’t like that they don’t have nutritional information posted for easy viewing access. I track my nutrition and I really enjoy locations that have the info on the yogurt machines and I can make some decisions at the point of dispensing. It wouldn’t be difficult to post calories, fat, carbs, fiber and protein per ounce.
The yogurt machine placement is a bit odd and freaky like other reviewers have mentioned.
The last time we were there the signs said: NO SAMPLES. Seriously? I can certainly appreciate that people abuse samples, but that is probably because the staff can’t even see what people are doing at the machines since they are not really visible from the front counter. So instead I saw a few ladies ahead of us using their fingers to sample anyway. Another lady was just serving a dab in her bowl and then licking it out and then going to the next machine and repeating that brilliance. Gross. They should provide sample cups as people are slobs and are going to sample anyway be it sanitary, sanctioned or not!

This place is good, real good. I would give it 5 stars but I am saving that for my dream froyo. Still this place is good, the flavors are creamy and taste like they should. The toppings are fresh and yummy. Will definitely come back next time the princess gets her haircut.

I tried the «christmas» flavours, egg nog, gingerbread and pumpkin. Didn’t care much for the gingerbread.
SErvice is good and it’s in a good location. I would probably go there again when I give my kid a haircut.

I’m at Yogurt R Rock with 5 kids. The oldest is 8. The youngest, an infant.
The kids look at the yogurt options. This one wants Red Velvet. That one Cake batter. Chocolate. What my big sister got. I go for blueberry … pomegranate? Why not.
I don’t try to steer the choices with any recommendation. I know they’ll like it because it is sweet and somewhat creamy, and if it’s not their favorite ever we’ll just get something else next time.
Important: I do, however, operate the yogurt machines for the kids. When you’re paying by the ounce, portion control is the essential modus operandi.
The toppings are a little harder to steer. He wants sprinkles. She wants sprinkles. He wants chocolate chips. A maraschino cherry. Gummi bears. More sprinkles. I think I’ll get some fresh blueberries and coconut on mine.
Then comes the moment of truth. For 6 servings of yogurt? under $ 12 total. Portion control FTW.
We pretty much monopolize the place… in fact, if you come in while my crew is there you’ll probably dock a star for the yogurt-​faced daycare atmosphere. I sit on the couch and the kids take pretty much all of the kiddie chairs.
And the kids have fun. They play with the bead thing on the table. They wander around begging samples from each other. And (most of all) they sit and stare mesmerized at whatever mind-​numbing tripe is playing on the Disney channel at the moment.
This is how pretty much all my encounters with Yogurt R Rock go. The kids always love it, and it’s a nice mostly-​healthy treat for the family. Maybe my favorite place to take the kids.

I have been looking for a yellow cake batter froyo and found it here, yay!
I also had the pistachio and belgian chocolate flavors.
I liked the cake batter flavor, I didn’t really care for the pistachio (had almost a berry after taste) and the chocolate (but I have yet to find a really chocolate froyo I like).
I thought the texture was too much on the ice milk side and not on the creamier side like some of other recent places that have popped up.
Also, I got the same amount I get elsewhere for $ 4ish came out to over $ 6 here for some reason (no toppings).
It’s ok, but there are a lot of other places around now that weren’t here when this place opened.
I liked the different colored spoons to choose from :-)

Still only $.39 per ounce (a bargain for me), Yogurt r Rock is our family’s favorite way to end our weekend haircut morning ritual. My preschooler knows that every haircut ends with a prize from the hair-​sucking machine at Snipits, a free «Yum-​yum» lollipop, and a trip through the froyo line at Yogurt r Rock.
I love their selection of toppings, which always includes an assortment of fresh berries, mini gummy bears, dark mini chocolate chips, and my all time favorite, cheesecake bites.
Other nice touches:
+ free wi-​fi
+ kids’ table with bead maze toy
+ nutritional info available behind the counter if you ask

Typical new-​age yogurt shop, with many different low-​sugar, low-​fat choices. Their topping bar was quite nice, with mochi, blackandblue berries, gummi bears, cookie dough, mint chocolate, etc. $ 0.39/oz like most of their competitors.
Only negative were the customers in front of us… they took like 5 minutes to get their toppings, and since the place is so small, it was difficult to move ahead of them to get our own.

My family and I just went to Yogurt r Rock for the first time this evening and we all love it. It was clean, easily accessible and oh so yummy. There were lots of flavors and many toppings to choose from. It was pay by the ounce, which is the way that most places seem to be charging these days. So, because I’m paying by the ounce, I don’t mind loading up on my favorite candy as my topping. I seem to remember TCBY employees looking down on me when I asked for more candy in my Shiver. Not here!

This frozen yogurt is good enough to eat!
Wait a sec. I think that’s the point.
Eight, maybe ten flavors of self-​serve frozen yogurt. Probably about two dozen different toppings including some fresh fruit. The yogurt was pretty good, and I’ll probably come back when I’m in the area. But again, I must shake my head at a tip jar in a self-​serve establishment. Particularly when the owner is the one working there.

All the SoCal snobs aside (sorry Patrick J), it’s a self-​serve frozen yogurt place. Price is right, I just wish they had more seating because let’s face it, a vat of frozen yogurt in your lap is not conducive to driving. If there’s more than 2 or 3 people in there, you’re standing up to eat, chubs. And if it’s cold or rainy outside, you’re SOL (as my momma used to say).
Just a reminder for all you «non-​fat» yogurt lovers out there — refer to Seinfeld, Season 5, Episode 7 entitled, «The Non-​Fat Yogurt»…

Alright, this place has gotten decent reviews, but I highly doubt anyone here has been to where I’m from in Southern California. If so, they would know that this place is really just «meh.»
SoCal is riddled with frozen yogurt shops, and as a state, is much more pedestrian and even driving accessible. Thus, with more competition comes (usually) higher quality.
So, perhaps as far as frozen yogurt shops go, I’ve been HORRIBLY spoiled.
Here at Yogurt r Rock, the space is too small, the décor is «meh,» and the the variety of flavors is pitiful. The toppings are nothing special, the fruit is not very fresh, and to top it all off, the prices are terrible.
Now, I’m not sure how some people here say the prices are great, because for what I get in SoCal for $ 3.25, costs me almost $ 7.00 here. That’s terrible! And mind you, I do not eat a lot, or load my cup up with toppings – a little sprinkle of nuts is enough, thank you.
And really, with something as addictive as frozen yogurt, do you really want to spend about 6 bucks a pop? At least?
Certainly not.
I agree with Ryan G. here: this place is not bad, particularly if other shops are well out of the way. But if there are more options? This would definitely not be my first pick.

I love La Frontera and YrR is the cherry on top of this place. Quick dessert and reasonably priced, this place has better toppings than the other FroYo places I’ve been to in Austin. I do wish that they had raspberries though.
I would give this five stars but the yogurt isn’t as good as Yogurtland or Pinkberry… but neither of those places have opened up in Austin yet!

Update: I tried to go to Yogurt R Rock the other night (July 21, 2011) and it’s closed. The yogurt machines are gone and the place is cleared out. What a bummer. :(
I’ve been to a bunch of yogurt places in Austin and while this one isn’t technically in Austin, it’s definitely one of the best in the area. Currently, the only place that I think is better is Yogurt Planet. But given that I live 5 minutes from this place (and 20 – 25 from Yogurt Planet) this place wins.
The yogurt is flavorful and the toppings are fresh. The only thing preventing me from giving it a full five stars is that they could use just one more yogurt machine and maybe a couple more toppings. Otherwise, if you’re north, this is the yogurt shop for you.

Don’t get me wrong, if you’re stranded in Round Rock and don’t want to travel far, this is probably the best frozen yogurt you’ve got going for you. But in terms of décor, flavors, and topping variety, this place loses out to Yogurt Planet, Swirl, and The Yogurt Spot.
Plus, maybe I stopped by on a bad day, but how can a froyo shop run out of vanilla and have their chocolate machine break on the same day? That makes me sad, and froyo is supposed to make you happy.

Let’s just say if Yogurt r Rock were my boyfriend, I would have gotten on one knee and proposed a looooooong time ago. Weird, huh? That’s how much I love this place!
I live right across the street from this location and I have been meaning to give it try ever since it opened earlier this year. After buying a few video games from next door, I finally got my chance. When I walk in, I love how clean and orderly this place looks and how good it smells! It’s very neat and very cute. I love the big sofa with the HD TV and the wide arrangements of tables and chairs. The décor is very simple yet modern.
As you make your way to the back to select your cup size (they have small, medium, and large sizes as with most frozen yogurt places), you can check out what flavors they have of the day. They always change up the flavors every week if not every few days. That’s what has me coming back for more because it’s always something different.
Their yogurt flavors differ from Mint, Chocolate, Cake Batter, New York Style Cheesecake (YUM!), Original Tart, No Sugar Added Vanilla, Strawberry, Hawaiian Delight, Pumpkin, Pistachio, and Raspberry Pomegranate among many others. Now, the topping choices are outta this world. The fresh fruits: Strawberries, Pineapples, Cherries, Raspberries, Blueberries, and Kiwis. The candies: Captain Crunch! Oreos, Peppermint Chocolates, among so many others. They have so many I can’t even remember. Their Mochi is soooooo good! My favorite fro-​yo combination here is the Raspberry Pomegranate and Hawaiian Delight yogurt mixed together topped with Blueberries, Raspberries, and Mochi! Sooo good. *Drools*
*Shakes head*
Okay, but back to reality. I was going to give this place a four-​star rating, but two things made me give Yogurt r Rock a five-​star rating ALONE. They are 1) The Owner and 2) The Bathrooms. This may sound odd at first, but I can tell a lot about a business by how clean they keep their bathrooms. The bathrooms here are so clean that I feel like I can almost sleep on the floor. So, so, soooo clean, WOW. I felt so comfortable in here! And I cannot say enough good things about the owner. She is such a sweet lady! She was even nice enough to make my boyfriend and I and even this other customer and her two children a free medium sized Original Tart yogurt with granola, raspberries, and mochi, saying that this was the best combination. She was extremely helpful and so friendly. She’ll chat with you while you top your frozen yogurt, making you feel very welcome.
So basically:
delicious fro-​yo
+ amazingly nice owner
+ freakishly clean bathrooms
= 5 stars.
What more could you ask for?

Yogurt r Rock was a great way to end my Labor Day weekend.
This DIY approach is great way to make sure you get the Goldie Locks of yogurt. You pick the yogurt, the amount you want and all your toppings. The possibilities are endless with the different flavors. I got a cappuccino with m&ms and oreos, my friends got the tart and the mint with fresh fruit and almonds on top. You pay by the ounce so get as much or as little as you like!
The name is kinda silly and doesn’t really make sense to me… if they are trying to make a play on Round Rock… I don’t know I just don’t get it. Bygones. This place does «rock» if you are looking for a fun yogurt fix.

All I have to say is, PLAIN TART with FRESH BERRIES. It does NOT get any better than this.
Oh, it’s easy to disregard the plain tart what with the NINE other flavors to choose from. Plus, Plain Tart doesn’t sound all that particularly good and to taste test (which you can do with little cups provided at the register — test to your hearts desire!!) is not all that remarkable either.
There is something about that Plain Tart though, when you add the berries and settle down to dig into this fresh goodness… simple, refreshing, amazing! It’s true. Plain Tart with berries rocks my world and I am not afraid to say it.
If you are more of a chocolate, strawberry, cheesecake, cake batter — etc etc etc type person you can get your fix here too. Add to that, plenty of candies, sprinkles, mochi!, coconut, sauces etc… Yogurt R Rock has something for everyone to love! Round Rock has been blessed by the frozen yogurt gods!

This place is AMAZING! It is where the old Ben and Jerry’s used to be and waaaay better ;) imo
Some of my favorite creamiest flavors:
NY Cheesecake, Reese Peanut Butter, Blueberry, Pistachio, and Pralines& Crème YUM.
Everything is self-​serve and the TOPPINGS BAR is extensive and fresh (The fresh fruit is always piled high, chilled, and sooo goood and the granola and reese chunks and large brownie bites are some other faves) and if you want something else just tell the owner and she is pretty good about putting it out there. She also changes up one or two flavors based on recommendations and favorites! THE OWNER is the sweetest woman and always there. There are sample cups and she always wants you to try all the flavors!!! It’s fun but you can get full so be careful ;)
The multi-​colored Spoons and PUNCH CARDS (dont leave without one) are SWEET bonuses :)
This is a great cheap Frozen Yogurt Shop for you north austinites or the only/​BEST option for Round Rockers: D
