Harmony Frozen Yogurt

This place is my favorite! I try to go twice a week and always keep leftovers in the freezer. Best organic frozen yogurt i’ve had and there’s really nothing like it! Harmony is a wonderful family owned shop with a great atmosphere. Their natural tart flavor is amazing and unlike any else.
Too bad the San Mateo and Burlingame location closed down but they still have a spot in San Carlos where they play local sports games on their t.v. by request with the most comfortable chairs.
They have stamp cards, gelato, and a great outdoor seating lounge.

The famous FroyoGirl brought me here herself. We were looking for some froyo after an excellent meal at Ramen Dojo
With perhaps sad coincidence, we visited on their last day. We took advantage of their closing discount, enjoying some lovely creamy froyo. Supervised by Teddy of course
Shame they wn’t be there on my next visit

I’m so sad that Harmony closed. It was my son’s favorite spot for soft serve vanilla ice cream in a sugar cone and mine for chocolate froyo in a cone. I appreciated that the froyo wasn’t as sweet as most other places, and we liked that their stuff was organic.
We’ll miss you, Harmony!

For Camille and me, this was our place. We’d come regularly, usually on our weekend walks, after the library and before the park. Favorite toppings: granola and brownie bits. We sat at the tables, on the soft chairs; our favorite place was the bench right outside the window. Camille’s had a slight cough the last month so we didn’t come as often.
Final tally: The dukedom belongs to David P., 89 – 78. I’m ok with that since he let me know about the closing; I jumped into the end of the line last night a few minutes before 9 to grab one last cup of frozen yogurt.
We stopped by this evening after dinner with Camille, but it was closed already. Not sure if she totally understood, but we gave her ice cream at home to console ourselves.

i cant say the taste is particularly great… or even good. I would prefer to eat my yogurt elsewhere. too high of a price for a ok food. some of the ice cream is good, but it is better just down the street at cowabunga.

Love this place! So happy its still around! Used to go the one in Burlingame when I first discovered it, and the San Mateo location before both closed down.
The blueberry pomegranate is my favorite. They have a good a selection of toppings as well from fresh fruit, nuts, and syrup purée.
Keep in mind, this place is organic, so the flavors have more tart to it. Its not your usual yogurtland, or pinkberry.
Like other froyo places, they have the stamp cards, and a nice outdoor seating set up.

If you’re looking for a healthy organic treat to get you through that 3 PM lull without packing on the calories, this is the place for you. If you’re looking for a naughty but nice treat, I suggest going to a place like Menchie’s our even Yogurtland.
I was surprised to see that they didn’t have a very good, or creative, variety of flavors. All they had when we came to visit were:
–Vanilla
–Dark Chocolate
–Mango
–Blueberry pomegranate
–Original (Sweet tart)
I don’t know about you, but those flavors seem pretty boring to me. Out of the toppings they had, which was mostly fruit, they had the traditional toppings like oreos or sprinkles and a few organic syrups like Blue Agave and Organic Raspberry Chocolate. I was annoyed that they didn’t at least have plain chocolate syrup. Even if it wasn’t organic, I would have preferred that to they raspberry chocolate liquid they gave me. It wasn’t even thick.
What I was really looking for to was a splurge of my usual mint/​peanut butter/​and/​or mocha with oreos but since I couldn’t make a combination like that with the flavors they had, I decided to try something new and do a Ben and Jerry’s Raspberry Sorbet/​Chocolate brownie ice cream mix. Those flavors pair very well at B&J so it wasn’t out of the realm of possibilities that it would taste the same at this place.
It didn’t and I was very disappointed. I ordered the Dark Chocolate with Organic Raspberry chocolate syrup, Raspberry purée and walnuts. That sounds pretty good doesn’t it? It wasn’t. I ordered a small, not a mini, a small and I hardly got frozen yogurt to reach past the brim of the cup. He hardly gave me any raspberry chocolate syrup but he glopped on the purée. I had to tell him to stop putting the raspberry on. When he put the walnuts on, he only put it on one side and I had to ask him to put it on the other side too.
The flavors were just awful. The dark chocolate was incredibly bitter, I could hardly taste the syrup because he hardly put any on and the raspberry purée was way too sour. I just couldn’t eat it and I gave it to my husband who took one bite, grimaced and said, «Yeah, that’s terrible.»
The prices seemed a bit high considering how stingy they are with the portions. This is not a place I see myself going back to because frozen yogurt is one of those things that is a splurge. It’s semi-​healthy as it is so no need to be all crazy about it.
If you ask me, if you want to encourage people to get into the organic craze, you might want to get more unique flavors that appeal to people and give them decent portions to keep them coming back. The organic factor is not enough to keep me coming back if it doesn’t even taste good.

Harmony, how do I love thee! I remember when the flavor choice was plain, plain or plain. But that’s what drew me there in the first place… Healthy-​ish frozen yogurt, made with Strauss products (my favorite yogurt). I loved the freshness and tartness, which was uncommon at the time they first opened. And it’s still my favorite, though these days you have a choice of flavors, soft serve ice cream, or scooped ice cream.
I love «the deal,» with the plain yogurt and choice of three toppings (usually fruit for me). And, if I’m not mistaken, they’re more generous with the toppings these days. Woo hoo!
Unless the quality takes a nosedive, Harmony will always be tops in my book.

Love this place especially on a hot day. I love the mango yogurt. The caramel toffee crunch ice cream is good but really really sweet. I can’t eat too much of that and just stick with yogurt. All organic so I’m happy!
Staff is super friendly especially Keenan. He always greet you with a smile and is so patient when you can’t decide on what to order since everything looks good. See him when you’re there next time and you’ll see! Thanks for always being so nice!

solid yogourt shoppe in downtown san carlos!
i ordered a small, 4oz cup of yogourt ($ 2.75) with dutch chocolate and cherry swirled together. their yogourt is very rich and thick, and flavourful. however, it is a bit more icy than it is creamy, in my opinion. i didn’t get any toppings, since i just wanted the yogourt by itself.
the staff is friendly and gives samples upon request. the store is small-​medium sized, and there is decent amount of seating inside and outside the store.
note that they carry strauss’ ice cream in addition to frozen yogourt.

Finally! I’ve been wanting to come to Harmony for so long now! Having dinner at a nearby restaurant I finally did so this last weekend and glad I did because I can see this becoming yet another regular FroYo spot for me.
I opted for a Medium Boysenberry with Mochi (
) not noticing the size of the cups before ordering. Medium is a good size for 2 people.
The yogurt itself is very good! Thick, creamy and tastes to me just like Petite Filous (a Fromage Frais in England aimed for Children — a smooth and creamy natural Yogurt). The flavor was light and Mochi incredibly soft.

Yogurt here is organic, creamy, and yummy. Had the natural and blueberry pomegranate flavors and thoroughly enjoyed it. Will def be coming back if I am around the area.

I love their natural frozen yogurt with mochi, i always get that! Very healthy choice if you are craving ice cream and want to skip the extra calories. I enjoy both indoor sitting area and outdoor area. But i have to admit the place is not so inviting and feels a bit boring.
The only thing is the pricing, i think they are a bit pricey. I wish they had a bigger menu selection as well.

AWESOME! If you are looking for healthy, organic, frozen yogurt, THIS IS THE PLACE! We usually frequent tuttii frutti, which we love! We decided to try some place different and decided to try Harmony.
You can totally tell by the taste that this place is organic and you don’t taste any artificial flavors. Unlike other organic frozen yogurts that are bland, these are very flavorful! We got the dark chocolate, cherry, and blueberry-​pomegranate which were super flavorful!
The only flaw is that they have fewer toppings & it is a little pricier. We paid as much as we do at tutti frutti, but only got half the amount. All in all, super yummy & must try! :)

I LOVE HARMONY!
They have a special every single day! Love their yogurt, their toppings, the spot. I like their outdoor seating that looks onto Laurel street. The place inside is decorated with fun facts about frozen yogurt. They also have a bulletin about events going on in the community.
Great small business — Can’t beat this organic frozen yogurt. I used to get yogurt on other places on laurel (there’s like five or six others!) but the walk down to this place is always worth it. Their original/​plain is great — I love the tartness. Same with their pomegranate yogurt. The flavors are limited but you don’t need a lot of options when they all taste good :)

Harmony is now at the old red mango place.

Bleh.
Yogurt is bland, not original what so ever. Toppings are minimal and the «chocolate syrup» tastes like cardboard. Really not impressed what so ever with this place. Cost more than I want to spend on good quality frozen yogurt and the topping selection is dismal. I would definitely skip this place. Not worth the money.

«NO syrups, powders, fructose or artificial flavors,» yet it tastes so good. My selection of the Dutch Chocolate was just perfect from the texture to the flavor.
There is definitely something special in the Dutch Chocolate. Each bit is a small bit or harmony in a crowded world. Or maybe it’s cocoa powder… not quite sure. Suggestion for future: Mexican Dutch Chocolate. Let’s spice it up a bit.
Finally, Harmony has five star service. So give it a try.

Still the purest and natural tasting tart froyo anywhere… only gripe is that it’s more expensive than the many other places, but you get what you pay for.
Bottom line: Still one of the best froyo places in SF Bay Area.

So my friend and I stopped by Harmony on the way back from a day of shopping in San Francisco and it was easy to get to. Right smack in Downtown San Carlos, parking was free since it was Sunday and the weather was nice and breezy. As soon as I walked in, I can hear alternative music playing such as Green Day. The owner is a big fan of alternative music so he wanted to give the place a different vibe. The fruit toppings were fresh but not that many strawberries on ours. Oddly enough, I noticed they do weigh their yogurt and toppings. Nevertheless, he did top our yogurt with granola on the house for coming so far away (San Jose) to try out Harmony. However, kiwi, mochi, fruity pebbles, and some other toppings were missing from the toppings bar/​menu.
In addition, as other reviewers stated, they use Straus organic yogurt and it has more of a creamy taste. Maybe a hint of honey, lemon juice, and some cream. Their business cards have a one dollar off coupon on them and the staff is very nice. They are looking to open up at least 5 more locations and for one of the first few Pinkberry clones, it is a great start for him. He stated he has had over 25 new customers coming in all from Unilocal and they will definitely spread the word. After we left, my friend and I did wanted more but we were already on 101 in Palo Alto. Next time and I will include pictures!
