Frozen Yogurt @ Yogilicious
Some DIY things are awesome, like designing your own dunks or knitting a cute scarf. Some other DIY things are not so awesome, like washing your car or planning a wedding. (That’s when you just call in a professional.)
So where does frozen yogurt fall into this? In the first category, of course! Yogilicious is a relatively new frozen yogurt place that’s set up completely self-server style. You pick your size, one of MANY yogurt flavors (including cookies-n-cream, green tea, and taro), and then add delicious toppings. Pick everything you want and then pay by the ounce. It’s .45 an ounce, which we figured is a little more expensive than other yogurt places, but not outlandish.
The toppings bar is the most impressive part of the Yogilicious experience. You can go au natural with fresh berries, kiwi, melon, and granola, or decadent with chocolate chip cookie dough, cheesecake bites, and candy. There are some really interesting choices present too, including Fruit Loops and mochi.
Basically, it all about getting exactly what you want. And unless you’re like me, that doesn’t happen very often (just kidding). I loved getting to pick the portion size I wanted and the amount/ratio of toppings. That’s the best part about Yoglicious.
On the downside, the yogurt is not very yogurt-y. Unlike the very tart, natural-tasting yogurt I prefer from Orange Cup, this is quite sweet and very TCBY. Also, I really like how readily available calorie information is at Orange Cup. They print your personalized label and put it right on the cup! Granted, Yogilicious can’t do that b/c you’re the one picking everything out, but I couldn’t even find the calories per ounce of the yogurt in the store or online. No good.
So essentially, there’s some good and some bad about Yogilicious. Overall, it’s a great place to stop for dessert when you’re in the West Village, but I don’t think it’s the best in Dallas. (But then maybe that’s because my yogurt skills are inferior? After all, I made it myself!)
