Frozen Yogurt @ Orange Cup
Over the long holiday weekend, the little dish paid a visit to the new (and one of the only) frozen yogurt places in Dallas, Orange Cup. To put it mildly, I am in love. For starters, Orange Cup is a local company and its Northpark location is its very first. I always enjoy supporting local business as often as possible, but that doesn’t mean I want to sacrifice quality and flavor in order to do so. Luckily, that’s not an issue here. The yogurts we tried were delicious. I went with the natural flavor topped with freshly sliced berries. The natural flavor is a plain yogurt, but hardly anything like the fluffy vanllia-flavored TCBY soft-serve. It has a mild yogurt tang that adds some flavor depth and (for lack of a better word) a “healthy” taste.
And healthy, it is. Their yogurt is made with all-natural ingredients, fat free, and contains live active cultures. Depending on the serving size and topping you choose, you’re looking at just over a hundred calories. For me, that’s fabulous. Each individual cup is personalized with your name, flavor, toppings, and individual calorie count. Brilliant.
My cohort chose the more exotic acai berry flavor. It’s got natural antioxidants because of the berries and added fruits (pomegranates and blackberries). Very refreshing and tart. The toasted granola topping was also quite tasty. I especially liked the delicate hints of cinnamon.
Based on the fact they’re locals and their yogurt is tasty, Orange Cup is a winner. There’s another added plus though. They’re doing their part to help the environment with little touches like sectionalized recycling cans and an incentive plan to reuse their cup-holder bags. Bring your bag back and each time you’ll receive a sticker. After twelve stickers, you’ll get a free t-shirt. Cute.
So stop by next time you’re shopping and don’t miss a really great treat that’s perfect for Summer… (If you shop at Stonebriar, you’re in luck because their second store is opening there soon!)

I’ll have to check it out, if I can force myself to go to the mall!
awesome. i’ve been wondering about orange cup. i’m a hug red mango fan, but that’s nowhere near me.
I have never heard of this place, but now i want to try just to get my name on the cup… or whatever fake name i give them.
BRILLIANT!
what would be a good cup name? Ira Hungery, not.
Michelle, I went on Friday and also enjoyed the acaiberry. My cup included blackberries, raspberries, walnuts, and dark chocolate pieces, and was only 158 calories! Moreover, it was great!!!
I don’t know how anyone can eat this crap…it’s just like Pinkberry. And I despise Pinkberry.
Its sickening to me how bad these guys ripped off “pinkberry” down to their brochure design and modern aethestic. Its disgusting and low class.
pinkberry ripped off your mom
I just recently tried this place and i was amazed by not only the quality but the freshness of their product. I have been craving it ever since.
Thanks Orange Cup!!!!
i’m not sure if the people that say its like pinkberry have ever actually been to a pinkberry. if you had you’d know everything is different. i do see a color similarity, but orange, green and bright blue are being used by lots of people right now. i think j. allen works for pinkberry since he seems to be familiar with disgusting and low class aesthetic.
i’m sure people like that also think that the iphone copied off blackberry. this country is based on stealing an original idea and taking it in another direction, adding on to it, and making it better. why do you think there are so many car makers and pretty much every other product on earth?
Great points gary. Long live capitalism!
I think Gary hit that one right on. He gets man points.
