Deliciously Pricey
Yogen Fruz has only been open for a couple months
at my local mall and I have gone there twice so far. The store is tucked
away in a small area below the food court, which is a smart location because it
does not have to compete with the madness of the food court yet happens to be
the only place to get dessert within reasonable walking distance from the other
food shops. The charm to Yogen Fruz is that you walk in there and grab a cup by
the entrance. You then view the twelve or so different flavors you can place in your cup. You can get as much frozen
yogurt as you want and it is weighed by the pound. The flavors consist of tart,
watermelon, vanilla, chocolate, birthday cake, coconut, espresso, peanut butter,
and other delicious choices. You also have the ability to swirl two flavors
together, such as tart and watermelon. This is great if someone wants to
experience as many flavors as possible at once. Yogen Fruz changes their
flavors from time to time. For instance, between my first visit there and my second
visit, they had switched out one flavor for Snickers. Snickers candy bars are
delicious so good move Yogen Fruz. Anyways, there is always variety at Yogen
Fruz and their 40+ toppings for your frozen yogurt sweetens the deal. You can top your
frozen yogurt with fresh fruit, cheesecake crumblings, oreo crumblings, mini
m&ms, reese's pieces, Swedish fish, gummy worms, chocolate chips, Nerds, etc. etc. Just take all the
best candies from the 90's and put them in the toppings section of Yogen Fruz.
They also have sauces and cherries for your frozen yogurt but I don't roll with
that. A tip I can give you about creating your frozen yogurt dessert is to
layer the frozen yogurt and toppings -- don't grab the frozen yogurt, pour some
toppings on there, and pay. Swirl some frozen yogurt on the bottom, grab a few
toppings, go back to the frozen yogurt machine and create a new layer, add more
toppings, and continue until your cup has had its limit. Once you've created
the ultimate frozen yogurt party in your cup, you need to place it on a weigh
machine. Here's where the smile on your face from pure bliss as if you're a little kid again, doing
something fun like playing on a playground, goes to a :| face because of the price.
I'm not sure what the price per pound is or how these people get the totals they
do, but you'll be looking at around $7 per cup. My mother and I go to Yogen
Fruz together and the last time we were there her cup of frozen yogurt cost
$8.80! Geez mother... This is where I think Yogen Fruz fails -- people will be
intrigued by the concept and want to check it out, but after seeing the price
of their frozen yogurt I doubt they'll be back for more as often as the
business would like. Now, I think that the price may be as steep as it is
because the business is fairly new in the mall and it is also the winter, and
most people don't like to eat ice cream or frozen yogurt in the winter since
it's too dang cold out. I think that if the business is able to survive until
the summer, we will see prices drop down to $5 a cup, which I think would be a
fair price. The most important thing to factor is how the frozen yogurt tastes,
though. I can't really be mad at the price when the frozen yogurt tastes
delicious. The flavors are extravagant and express the taste that was posted on
the sign. In conclusion, Yogen Fruz is worth going to maybe twice a month and
on special occasions. It's really a fun and enjoyable experience that will
leave your taste buds happy.
