Yogurt Tree

This place has great frozen yogurt and tea. Cute interior and nice music. The owner is a crazy Dutch guy but fun if you’re prepared for it and in the mood. I’d come back.

..this is kind of a farewell Review to a really honorable and honest guy that runs this place single handedly pretty much for 15 hrs a day.
Now you would think to stand in there for that amount of hours this must be some illiterate third world dude that grew up with no shoes etc. but no, this is a very smart educated Dutch man who seems to have done this Shoppe as some sort of personal exercise.
This guy has been a professional musician all his life Jan Akkerman, Alice Cooper.
Whitesnake (see the video. Here we go again, guitarist in grey on right) and you gotta wonder
what a guy of that quality and talent is doing there.
Some have said he’s rude in reviews here. put your ego aside. this is the kind of guy who will not hesitate to blast and correct your kid if he’s doing something wrong or not using his brain. He’s the kind of guy who will stop your kid in the street and ask him if he is stupid looking at his phone while he’s crossing the street.
This my fellow Americans is one darn good person, even if he does occationally tell some people where to stick it.
THE FOOD. nobodys perfect. but this guy makes one damn good attempt at delivering goodness as far as purity goes. I mean his wife makes the soups in the cleanest homemade way and they are fantastic tasting too. he gets the Frozen Yogert from the Amish in Pennsylvania. the Waffles are made with non GMO flour from Belgium.
Is it the best tasting everything. not all is, but a lot of it really is.
One thing the food is, thats unique, when you’ve eaten something, you get a sense that you’ve just eaten something that is good that is not going to shorten your life.
I mean ask him for a cup of coffee, he opens up a freakin bottle of Spring Water and individually makes you a cup of Organic Coffee. to me dunkin donuts tastes better than any Organic coffee, but theres no way it is better in goodness.
I was in there and he makes me a Hot Chocolate, standing there stirring it for 5 minutes!!!
Would it taste better if it had a load of processed sugar in it, yes, but its not going to be better.
Those Teas. if your into Tea all I can say is Wow. even those are loose teas !!
This may not be the 19^th century. but the best tasting tea is done in that way.
The guy is so anti GMO forget it. He calls it poison.
The little fruits he has to top the Waffles. He buys the little packages of organic fruit from the market next door paying $ 7 for a little packet of blueberries. I mean he’s not picking the cheap stuff to serve, he’s buying it organic and paying retail !!
Anyway.this (January) is going to be the last month for this guy, he will use his talents to go and restore a house. But I tell you I for one will miss being able to detour over there and eat healthy and Tastey and miss the guy. a truely outstanding person. Bless him.

Cool shop – was walking by and the owner beckoned us in to try his hot cider. Some of the best I’ve had – spicy and not too sweet. He’s also quite the character!

What appeared to be a typical fro-​yo shop happened to have a blackboard outside listing vegan soup options which appealed to my very hungry (non meat eating gf) we decided to go in and check out the menu and behind the counter was an older Dutch man with a long white ponytail who informed us that all his food was non-​gmo with no artificial garbage which was something we love to hear. I decided on the Belgian Waffle with Nutella & banana and added some caramel Amish made fro-​yo on top. I couldn’t have asked for anything more– that shit was legit! Paired with a hot home made apple cider drink the meal was succulent and filling. The man with the white pony tail was the owner and running a one man show with lots of love and passion for his art. After having a pretty lengthy conversation we found out the man speaks 7 languages and shares our same ideologies about America.
Overall– the food is great and natural, the drinks are delicious too and the man behind the counter is a very interesting person to meet. Be sure to stop by for the experience.

owner was very nasty. when I told him he had a bad attitude instead of apologizing he just shrugged his shoulders. Go to a yogurt place that appreciates your business

The yogurt was okay, but the owner was a grump! He went out of his way to make rude comments, and he yelled at us when some yogurt dripped out of the machine. We felt incredibly unwelcome and uncomfortable.

This was a great place with many flavors and toppings. Must try the salt pretzel frozen yogurt! The Dutch owner is a very friendly person and I would gladly come here again for the frozen yogurt, healthy ice cream, and free wifi :)

Sills gave us some great conversation and great customer service. The yogurt was great. Def check it out if you are in the area.

I usually do not write reviews for Unilocal,but felt that I need to so I can help people save their time and money on this place. I ordered a passion fruit green tea bubble tea, which the man working there seemed to never heard of. When I asked for him to recommended another flavor, he rudely pointed to the list of flavors. I ordered a mango bubble tea and it was by far the worst bubble tea I’ve ever had! It still tasted like the mango powder he used to make it. I tasted like mango powder+cold water. I’m generally not very picky with my beverages, but it was SO bad that I had to throw it out. Waste of 5 $ and ill never be going there again. Also, he stared at me for a good 3 minutes and then asked me where I’m from and when I responded that I’m from New York, he seemed to be flabbergasted that people of color can be native New Yorkers. I’m honestly surprised at the good reviews for this place.

BEST PLACE IN TARRYTOWN! I came in looking for ice coffee but I left transported into another world of Dutch dessert cuisine. The waffles were incredible and the frozen yogurt is so different and great. To top it off, it’s not generic college aged employees on their phones, but the sole employee is this Dutch man who owns the store who has a pony tale and is so funny and eccentric. Love this place and it makes Tarrytown just that much more vibrant and diverse with its inclusion in the retail scene here. GO HERE!

We got ice coffee, a mango fusion drink and frozen yogurt. All three were great. I read a lot of negative reviews about the owner being rude. Undoubtedly, the guy is a character but I enjoyed his antics. If your polite and talkative then you won’t have a problem. Your in New York, if you can’t deal with characters then your in the wrong place.

The man who runs this place is very rude. overhead him calling a customer «fucking stupid» behind their back because they left a dollop of yogurt in the dispensing tray. That’s what the dripping tray is for.
The frogurts has the wrong consistency… not creamy, too much ice crystals. The toppings (other than fresh fruits) are stale. The mochi nibs were rock hard. On the day I visited, there were 20 + belgium waffles sitting out there… i don’t understand why he doesnt make them to order.
SKIP.
NASTY OWNER.

Best Frozen chocolate yogurt I’ve ever had. We bought our daughter a small cup and was hesitant to try anything but after tasting hers we quickly returned to claim our own treats. No high fructose corn syrup. Perfectly creamy and a perfect well balanced chocolate, not too sweet and not too bitter. I’ve been dreaming about it ever since. Will definitely return. Awesome find!!! This place is a hidden gem. We can’t wait to return & try one of there outrageous waffle sundaes.

Love the waffles here — authentic belgian liege waffles! Every time I drive by tarrytown I stop by to have one of those! Last time I had a nutella banana raspberry and topped with whipped cream waffle — hit the spot! What makes this place great is the love put in to make the food — which is the major ingredient for any dish in order to taste amazing ;) — Yes owner works mostly alone, but that’s why it tastes so good every time and he’s also layed back, funny and cool. Anyhow, will definitely come back.

One of the most affordable places to eat in that whole area, with consistent quality in everything offered.
Got here one cold rainy evening and found myself in Yogurt Tree for soup! So strange but the soup was delicious and the owner full of interesting tales.

This place is a hidden gem. it’s not just a yogurt place, it has some wonderfully crafted soups, drinks and waffles. Definitely recommend the waffles. REAL AUTHENTIC BELGIUM waffles. Best I’ve ever had in the States. The owner is a character. Very friendly and pretty damned cool — from the Netherlands.
Thumbs up, go check the place out if looking for some quick delicious eats or tasty desserts.

When Yogurt Tree first opened its doors, it promised lots of tasty treats. It has been about a year since then, and they’ve certainly kept their word! The belgian waffles are a killer addition to tangy frozen yogurt, and there are many diverse toppings available for a little something extra. YT offers hot food as well, and serves as a great one-​stop shop for a midday meal or meet-​up. Lemonade lovers rejoice, as there are countless varieties of this popular beverage to choose from. What keeps me hooked is the delicious bubble tea! How has Tarrytown survived so long without this liquid taste of heaven?! The owner takes pride in his product, and that is evident in his attention to details and cleanliness within his shop. I highly recommend a visit to Yogurt Tree, especially if you are a music aficionado– the owner has quite an impressive background!

Great place, clean as can be, and amazing Belgian Waffles made right there! Nice flavors for frozen yogurt, and wonderful toppings (Lots of fresh fruit) Prices in line with everything else in the area.

Will second what the previous reviewer said — don’t waste your time. There’s another yogurt shop right up broadway thats cleaner, has a better selection of yogurts and toppings and has a staff and owner that actually wants to please their customers.
The owner of this place might be the rudest person I have ever come in contact with… cursing in front of my 2 and 4 year olds. If you dont want to deal with people and with young kids — dont open an ice cream shop. I will never come back,.

Will never return.
Walked in because of the bubble tea sign in the window — ordered the mango — worst bubble tea I’ve ever had. Tasted like a milky watery liquid with a hint of distant old mango.
Was with my mother and we were treated horribly by a man who I’m guessing is the owner. He was extremely sarcastic and rude and had no idea how to ring people up. He would ask you what you want then drop everything to follow someone else around and ask them to pay and then walk back again and ask you what you want again?! Slightly skitzy. Tried the frozen yogurt before we had a chance to walk out of being treated badly — not impressed.
