FRAE

I was looking for some Frozen and remembered I liked this one and this hasnt changed. Still good and not that expensive and people are friendly. Perfect for a summer day !

Average selection of flavors and toppings. The peanut butter froyo is delicious!
The froyo falls in the middle on the spectrum of creaminess. For a more sorbet like consistency, there is Samba Swirl down the street. Chillbox in Brixton Market has the thickest, creamiest froyo I have ever tried in my life
I live around the corner and swear that their hours change all the time (or the store is often left unmanned).

I like this Fro-​Yo place. Tucked away in angel, their original flavour is just right. Sometimes, I find others too sour or too sweet but this blend is just to my liking. I really like the Green Tea flavour though, Green Tea is a must try!

This is the original and best frozen yogurt place in Islington, they have the creamiest yogurt unrivalled in Islington, despite the newly arrived competition which I have also tried. It is low calorie but can cost a few quid depending on size and if you have toppings.

I am not from London, I am not from the United Kingdom to begin with. However I had the chance to enjoy a trip to this beautiful city and had two weeks to wander around in attempt to get to know it. I failed in my attempts it is too big, full of loveliness and greatness in order to be explored in two weeks. AnywayI found this place on my second day in London and liked it so much that every single walk each of the remaining 11 days started from there. 11 days, 11 different flavors and no regrets. My all-​time favourite remained the Red Velvet though :)

Frozen yogurt places seem to pop up everywhere at the moment. I went to a few around London but was not really convinced. Often these had old ingredients. When I first went to visit FRAE I came with high expectations based on a friend’s recommondations.
I took an original flavour with strawberries and chocolate. Delicious!
So, go to FRAE in Islington or any other FRAE in London! It’s DELICIOUS !!

MMMM! Frae is so goood!
15% off student discount is a super duper plus to this delicious fat free frozen yogurt chain store.
Green tea, chocolate and original flavors are equally good. For those who never tried green tea flavored froyo, this is the time to try it y’all!
Even better if you’re buying a tub home as it works out cheaper and more worth it. The staffs would literally stuff your tub until full, while allowing you to mix flavors on the way. A lot more worth it since you can bring it home and slowly enjoy your tub of deliciousness at home while experimenting with your own topping choices, teehee.
Smooth creamy yogurt, basic topping selections, though the store is actually quite small with very little seatings, I am definitely coming back again!

Don’t get me wrong the frozen yoghurt is good, but who pays £5 for yohgurt and three toppings?
I could get a massive tub of yoghurt and freeze it myself for half the price.

I dun eeeven bov-​a wid all dem fancy toppings en fings nowadays… just gimme dat raw fro-​yo yeh, save some pennies dat wayz too init. Green teaz da best. Hit up on dat stoodant discount.
[Well maybe I’m biased as the place pronounces the first syllable of my name, and is short of spelling out the whole thing as an anagram by but one letter… in any case for whatever reason… I have the calling to the FRAE, my homey]

I have now tried quite a number of frozen yogurt places, all with the colourful decoration, health and diet propaganda and super smiley staff, and sincerely, FRAE still stands as one of the best I’ve tried (and not only in London). I’ve had strawberry, natural and mango, and all of them were creamy and not too tart. Toppings are great as well. But their prices prevent me from giving them 5 stars. If you want some toppings, you’d end spending more than £4, and you have to pay for each topping individually. It’d be much better if they’d allow you to choose with/​without toppings and be able to pick as many as you want (only less quantity of each topping), as they do in Yuforia, Pinkberry
Apart from that, if you haven’t tried frozen yogurt or you think you won’t like it because it’s not ice cream, I really recommend to give FRAE a chance. You may be surprised.

The thing is, I want my frozen yogurt to TASTE LIKE YOGURT. I want that tart tanginess (tang-​ee-​nus) to dance on my tongue.
Frae just didn’t do it for me, it tasted more like fake sweetened dairy product (of the indiscernible variety.) I only snagged a baby portion and even that I couldn’t power through.

The first words out of my mouth upon taking a bite of FRAE’s fro-​yo: ‘Oh. It’s sweet.’ Make no mistake, Pinkberry this is –not-.
A small order of the natural will run you purportedly 83 kCals, plus any additional ones (nominal for fruit, I’d imagine) from the toppings*. It was also run you a pretty penny at over £4 if memory serves me.
This would be all well and good if not for the disproportionate amount of frozen yogurt offered in the cup. Even my small order was easily what I’d consider a medium anywhere else, and the method of filling the container left little room for toppings. As much as I love fro-​yo, if I’m paying for toppings, I expect to get more than four or five little wedges of strawberry — honestly, it amounts to basically one full fruit.
FRAE may be cute, it may be organic, and they may be friendly people… but as a product offering, they have a way to go before they’ll rank up there among the better fro-​yo I’ve had.

I love Fro-​yo. And I adore Frae. I have now tried Snog, Yog, and Frae and this comes on top of my list. Cheaper than Snog and at 100 calories for a plain cup of natural flavor I’m in heaven.
It is bit out of the way from my usual fare but not a bad location to stroll around when the weather is right.
The fruit was fresh, the yogurt was light and fluffy and flavorful, and the staff were funky and friendly.
I would absolutely come here again.

I went along to the Qype London event where frozen yoghurt of the fat free variety was experimented with. We were there to try the regular frozen yoghurt and the green tea version. Then we were there to see what does/doesn’t work as toppings for the frozen healthy ‘treat’.
The randomly (wrong) ingredients were laid on the table in such a way that I thought my mum was going to come in and tell me off for playing with my food. My
savoury attempt had green tea frozen yoghurt topped with (cold) scrambled eggs, baked beans, sweetcorn and topped with a cherry tomato (see photo for evidence). At first I thought it was ok, bizarrely the baked beans worked with frozen yoghurt. I do today, however, feel ill thinking about it.
However, as you may expect the regular version (unsweetened) topped with sweet items worked a lot better. My winning combo had caramel sauce, brownie pieces, mini oreo’s and fresh fruit chunks. A great attempt to balance the ying and yang of the healthiness with the naughtiness.
I was just a little disappointed that the great (Scottish) team that own Frae (Scottish word meaning ‘from’) weren’t doing the healthy snack as a ‘Scottish supper’ ie deep fried in batter and served with chips. However, that’s even wronger than my savoury attempt. If anyone is going to turn the people of Scotland into a healthy nation it’s the team behind Frae.

I’m getting sick of hearing myself say this but: I visited Frae as part of a Qype event. However, the integrity of my review is in no way compromised by the complimentary glass of Processco, I promise.
I have never been to Frae before, despite passing it about a billion times while perusing the nearby market. Frae pride themselves on fresh and well sources ingredients, and they don’t disappoint. I sampled both flavours of yoghurt, and while the original was lovely and creamy, it is the green tea flavour that really blew me away.
Alongside the regular accompaniments of fresh fruit, we got to play around with some experimental toppings. I can’t see frozen yoghurt with bakes beans and scrambled eggs taking off, despite many claiming it was pleasantly surprising. My contribution was the ubiquitous popping candy which worked really well until it started popping out of the yoghurt and into people’s eyes oops!
My recommendation would be visit Frae on a nice hot day and grab a pot of green tea frozen yoghurt. If you want to feel extra virtuous, add some blueberries and kiwi fruit yum!

Oooh yummy.
I’ll admit, until about 6pm today, I was a frozen yogurt virgin. It’s just never really appealed. Ice cream appeals. Ice cream appeals to me very much. But Frae was very tasty. Tasty enough for me to be plotting a Qype event there in July.
I wasn’t a fan of the natural stuff, but the green tea flavour was fab. Totally refreshing and fab with strawberries. Although I did have the option to load up with chocolate bits if I wanted. Their yog is organic and planet friendly, which I like. I ate about 100 calories. I also like this.
It’s basically healthy ice cream. Sometimes you’ll want ice cream, but Frae was very very very tasty. I like the magazines dotted about the place, but I’d be tempted to grab takeaway and go wander down Camden Passage
Looking forward to going back, I just wish they’d sell drinks — I was really really dehydrated and could only have water.
Can someone go fetch me more some please?

Firstly a big Unilocal vote of thanks to Laura N who was FTR Frae. This is why I love Unilocal — to find out about little gems.
I love froyo and eat lots of it on my trips to the USA. So I had to make a special trip up to Camden Passage to try Frae out. I didn’t need to seek out the shop as the Frae workers were out in force offering free samples of the original flavour yoghurt to passers-​by. Mmmm tart and creamy, balanced just right.
The shop is on a little corner with some seating inside and out. The yoghurt is currently available in original or green tea flavour. There are fruit and crunchy toppings available — the best deal is £3.95 for a medium size cup with 2 toppings.
The yoghurt was great but the fruit toppings were starting to look a little dessicated when I visited though I still enjoyed my Frae immensely.
To be fair to my other froyo experience, I have to be consistent and award Frae 4 stars. They’ve gone for the Washington state formula whereas in California, there are froyo places that offer 16 flavours and do it yourself unlimited toppings and they charge you by weight.
However, Frae is the best froyo in town and I will definitely be back!

I was convinced that this was a chain based on the logo and the sterile feeling of the place. Good to know that it is local business…
I tested the green tea hoping to fall in love, but wasn’t so impressed. The guy behind the counter looked sad that I didn’t like the green tea. But I happily opted for the plain with strawberries and graham crackers. They did the toppings half and half instead of all together… guess I should be more specific.
Next time going for the brownies topping based on Linzi’s comments… great having froyo in the hood.

If you’re not dribbling at the best tasting Fro-​Yo in London here then you could possibly be dribbling over the ridiculously attractive fellas serving it in their «oh so pink» T shirts. If it’s not those things then it could also be the gossip mags laid out for people to browse while consuming their organic, frozen deliciousness.
This place rocks, it really doesn’t look much as you walk in with the bare décor but seriously, why distract from great flavours when there is no need to. I have to say that in al my Fro-​Yo eating experience, and yes I know that isn’t much… but, this is the best stuff I have had so far…
Well done Frae, I heart you hard!

I nearly Unilocaled my pants when I found out about the new probiotic on the block…
It was a beautiful day in mid-​May, and there it was… the glorious «coming soon» sign that captured my heart with three simple words: «Opening June 6.» And until that day arrived, I had to fill my time with frivolous tasks, like sitting, jumping, counting paperclips, blinking, and working.
Luckily, 300 origami cranes later, I was able to indulge for the first time. MMMMMmmmmm, isssoo gooood! While Green Tea was tempting, there’s nothing better than the smooth and creamy natural in my book. But one can hardly call it indulgence when you learn that this amazing magical dessert is 100% fat free, organic & all natural. It’s basically a Texan’s worst nightmare, but so am I. Plus, it’s a godsend for my waistline!
… until you bust out the 18 toppings.
Long story short, I came. I indulged. I loved. I Unilocaled.
