Yogen Fruz

This place has my favorite acai bowl in San Diego. You can choose any fruit to put on top and the granola has chocolate chips in it

what?! real fruit made to order in a yogurt of your choice!!! what??? if heaven and yogurt had a baby, this is it in and around your mouth! coming back for sure! the cheesecake dessert omg…

Tried their blackberry yogurt and did not know it had too much seedy in my yogurt, could not taste the flavor at all. Flavor was ok.

++ Yogen Fruz offers made to order fro yo with frozen fruits blended in. It is definitely a better alternative to other sugar bomb fro yo places.
++ My go to order is strawberry blended yogurt with strawberry and kiwi toppings! Strawberry goes really well with the tartness of the yogurt. MIL had pineapple yogurt and she seemed happy. Quite happy with the selection of fruits offered.
++ I love the consistency of this fro yo. Can’t really describe it. Creamy but not too creamy if that’s helpful: D
– I have no complaints about the price of the yogurt. But charging 75 cents PER topping is a little atrocious!
– What’s this rewards card that everyone on Unilocal is talking about? No body at the store offered me one. I could have saved some $ #Annoying
Tip to first timers: the fro yo is made to order so there is nothing to sample really ! :)

I needed a treat before my husband’s hockey game started, and this was one of the only places open in the mall area on a Sunday evening. I was really happy they had yogurt/​topping combination choices already and went with the apple pie. I saw the employee freshly mix the yogurt with apples and spices. I also think he did a perfect job topping it with caramel and graham cracker crumbs. I will certainly be back next Sunday to get another treat for my husband’s next hockey game!

I really liked how fresh the yogurt was made. You can watch them take the fruit of your choice and mix with the yogurt to create a real fresh froyo. I do wish they had more options, it wasn’t so pricey, and the line moved faster. Those are the things that would keep me from returning.

Once again continuing our shopping adventure… we stopped for a smoothie on this beautiful spring day!!!
In dire need of something refreshing my mom and I stopped at yogen fruz to get a smoothie!!!
To our surprise the smoothies were amazing. We both endulged in Strawberry Banana smoothies that were fresh and delicious.
Next time, we will stop by again to try their yogurt!!!

We got the medium strawberry yogurt. The flavor was delicious but the portion size. I woild recommend it but make sure you get the correct portion. overall it was good.

This is a gluten free & service review…
The only reason they’re getting 3 stars is because the smoothie was good and they didn’t get me sick (due to my research.)
The website has a pdf food chart that you can access from the smart phone. This was incredibly helpful since the staff knew nothing about gluten. The staff were slow and clearly not engaged in positive customer service. I have passed by several times and wondered why no one was in there… the staff had filthy clothes too.
I was put off by the whole experience. However, I did eventually get my avocado smoothie and it was good.
Please educate your staff, require them to have clean uniforms and train them that some of your vanilla products have malt in them which gets people with gluten allergies sick!

It’s supposed to be probiotics yogurt. Not really sure what the benefit is. I have the chocolate yogurt. The taste is a bit different from the regular frozen yogurt.
The only negative thing I have. While I was there the guy in front of me let his kid walking on the counter top. I don’t know where his shoes have been.

Their customer service here was great, every one was friendly and helpful.
My 2 star review reflects on their pricey not so good yogurt/​acai bowl. I ordered the Acai Bowl and all I got out of it was watery run down smoothie. It was like I was sipping on a bowl of cold soup which I paid $ 7.95 for. Waaay over priced. My boyfriend really didn’t have the freedom of customizing his yogurt without additional costs either. I expected a little more out of them since they are located in UTC Mall where everything’s expensive.

For some reason, it’s taken me years to give Yogen Fruz a shot. After my first visit a month ago, it’ll probably take me a few more years to give it a second try.
I just didn’t care for my chocolate with blended strawberries. Sure it tasted healthier, but it was too «icy» for me. I could barely taste the strawberries. They were just pretty pieces scattered throughout the yogurt.
Bottom line… pricey for what it is.

First, if you come to Yogen Fruz, expect to pay a little more as it is located in the UTC Mall where all things come with a little extra cost. Having said that, the questions will tend toward the quality of the product and the service this shop provides its customers.
Second, I will say that I have never left Yogen Fruz disappointed in either service or quality of their product. And I have ordered both my own creations and those off the menu. My favorite is the apple pie — yogurt mixed with frozen apples, topped with pie crumbs and caramel. Really a fabulous offering!
Third, there is a ton of seating outside Yogen Fruz. There is no TV or wifi to speak of but remember, you’re at a shopping mall so there is no need for that. You can enjoy what you ordered and spend time regretting all the money you had already spent at UTC or just have fun with your friends and family during your break.
Fourth, get the Yogen Fruz card. They offer good deals and it is a way to save a little $$$ when you visit. Don’t complain about the prices if you do nothing to help yourself in cutting the cost. If you like Yogen Fruz, there is no reason that you can’t stop by once in a while and take advantage of specials they offer to their members.
Fifth, I think I’ll end this for now and give others a chance to share their thoughts on Yogen Fruz. It seems to be a shop that tilts in either direction as far as stars are concerned. But don’t let the polarity stop you from visiting! You really need to try it and assess it for yourself. I think when all things are considered, most would agree it’s a shop that tilts to the right.
Recommend: HIGH

True story: the lady in front of me in line said to the server, «can I get the blueberries on top of the nonfat yogurt [instead of blended in]?» The server then dumped the cup she’d already finished, and had to start over. Dear La Jolla lady: it goes to the same place.
The blending of ingredients into the yogurt base, rather than prefabricated mixes with arbitrarily «natural» ingredients, is really the joy of Yogen Fruz. Their product is so much better than the local Yogurtlands and Yogurtworlds, etc., with a texture that feels more substantial somehow. Be forewarned, however: the yogurt base is more tart than at those other places, and the use of fresher fruit in the mix creates a flavor that tastes much less sweet than frozen yogurt found elsewhere. The pre-​designed mix recipes are always pretty great, but many are only available for a limited time. Within the last few months I’ve tried the piña colada and apple pie varieties.
Note that, for all this this, you will be paying a somewhat premium price, and the prices seem to have actually increased a bit over the years.
Summary: Follow the path of the umlauts.

I really like the concept of how you can choose what flavor frozen yogurt you want, and then they blend fruit with plain frozen yogurt to make a delicious concoction. Back where I’m from, there was a store that did a similar concept, which is why I’m only giving three stars because that store only charged ~4 $ I believe, where as Yogen Fruz is definitely on the pricey side. I like that their menu has a lot of selections laid out, so an uninformed customer can choose what they’d like to try, and the variety is really nice, but for me this deliciousness in a cup will be a only a treat once in a while because of the price. The fruits are always fresh, and I once even got a smoothie that I really enjoyed. Everytime, I’ve come they’ve always asked me if I can be helped or if I had any questions, so they’re pretty warm and inviting.

Ordered strawberry banana smoothie. Loved it. I think its better and healthier than jamba juice. Its a bit pricey, but thats how business works.

My two-​star review has NO reflection on the Customer Service at this Yogen Fruz location. The gal that assisted me today was just adorable and provided me with as good quality service, as one could possibly give.
I just find them to be a bit pricey for frozen yogurt and customers don’t really have the freedom of customizing their yogurt without additional costs. Also, I’ve been here about five or six times and, on most occasions, they either ran out of or didn’t have certain toppings or flavors available, as advertised on their display. Today, they were out of apple and coconut topping. I just wish they could have signs indicating what was not available, so I’m not teased before I order. Lastly, although most of the flavors taste decent, the Acai bowl was the most tart I’d ever had anywhere. I don’t like yogurt too sweet, but not too tart either.

Great location, smack dab right before the Westfield food court. Inviting store, with a cute pink smiley welcoming you in. Usually I am pretty happy with my froyo, I’m really not a very picky girl, but my experience felt lacking! I would have personally liked a bit more interaction with creating my treat, like most froyo places, but maybe this is what makes yogenfruz so unique.
I usually I always get the matcha green tea special with mochi, but I decided to try their new probiotic shake, in my go-​to flavor: matcha green tea!
I was expecting a sweet but tangy drink, much like Yakult, a pretty common Asian yogurt probiotic drink. What I got instead was this skim, green liquid that tasted like soy milk that had been sitting on the shelf for a few days too long– BLAH! Super disappointed in the outcome.
Moral of the story/​tl;dr :
Yogenfruz– go there for yogurt.
That Shake makes me want to turn that pink smile upside down.

In the world of frozen, swirly treats, there’s Yogurtland, Pinkberry, Tutti Frutti, and exclusive to San Diego, the long-​standing locally owned Bogart Yogart in PB.
But there is NOTHING like Yogen Fruz — where the flavors are NOT pre-​made, and the yogurt is made from scratch when you order it. They scoop a cup of frozen fruit into a cup, and then blend it straight away with a healthy, vanilla yogurt. Only 100 calories per 4 oz. serving for $ 3.49. You can also get an 8 oz. smoothie blending multiple fruits and yogurt for just under $ 4
Since flavors are made on the spot, you can even customize your flavor by blending unique combinations of fruit, such as pineapple and mango together.

At first, I was a little unimpressed with the selection from this place. I’m used to going to frozen yogurt places with a wide variety of flavors and toppings. This place will only let me eat fruit? I have to be healthy? Aiya!
I got a chocolate flavored frozen yogurt with strawberries and almonds, and I must say that it tasted great. I watched as the employee took a pack of something that didn’t look like yogurt, put it in the machine, and magically turned it into the frozen, delicious treat that it was. Whoah… so that’s how it’s done.
This place is located in the smack dab middle of the food court in what used to be a candy shop. There are plenty, and I mean plenty, of places to eat in the area. If I’m ever at UTC again, this is a certainly great go-​to place for dessert.
