Clean interior and the staff was friendly. I think Sixteen Handles is one of the better FroYo chains…it tastes creamy and not ice-y like some FroYo. They're also open late which is a plus.
Absolutely love this place!!! Entering the store bright colors such as pink and bright green greet you. There are various sections and levers in the back of the yogurt joint that releases an array of flavors into your cup! It's self serve so you have options whether to be a glutton or not lol. My nieces and nephew went on the town with the amounts they received;) In the front next to the register there is a display of endless amounts of sweet condiments to top as well. I ended up with graham crumbles and cinnamon streusel on my birthday cake and green tea yogurt. The best part is that they provide a card for you to register online to gain points. Woohoo it adds up to free yogurt!!! I have revisited twice within 3 days. I believe I will be back again tomorrow. Lol besides they provide nutrition facts and from what I had gathered and calculated it's quite healthy in moderation 🙂
I get made fun of every time I come here by whoever I'm with because I can't control myself with all their options.. I usually end up with 3 different frozen yogurt flavors and so many toppings that it's a mission just to keep it all in the cup.
Can you get better healthy cold treat than Froyo when it is sunny and in the 80s outside? In such a bright and nice decor. The view to all the passing shoppers and the couches make for a nice touch. Three things to note: hard to find a seat especially during the busy season, don't pack the cup with two much it will cost you by the pound and putting in so many different flavors takes the flavor away from one or two good ones (especially when melted). I'm just a straight fruit, fudge and those bursting bubbles person, not much for the candies and chocolate toppings.
I like that each is lightly tart with an extra kick from Euro Tart. I also like Pistachio because it has a light gentle flavor (Pomegranate is along the same taste). And the light green (or light red) makes for a nice appearance. I also like Mocha but it's flavor is just like something from the frozen section of a supermarket. I really like the strawberry bursting bubbles as a topping, like little water balloons with flavor you pop in your mouth, almost like fruity caviar, only dislike is that some have a aftertaste.
Street parking is not so easy to find but there's Municipal parking down the street, this is Steinway of course, a highly heavily traffic area.
Really fun place to hangout and great enjoy with the kids!
My favorite location of 16 handles and my absolute favorite froyo spot!
Every time I stop by here, it's almost always empty. Easy to find a spot to sit and enjoy your froyo. I'm not one to give chain locations 5 stars, but this one deserves it! The location is very clean and of course has a large variety of fruits and sweets you can choose from. I also find they have flavors of froyo that not every 16 handles has. Definitely the best spot to come to for a light and healthier alternative for a dessert (that is if you choose to top your froyo with fruits). My favorite spot to come and enjoy some quality time with my boyfriend.
Definitely recommend it!
Ah, it's that season. It's where you get froyo because you think it's healthier than icecream, then you top it with everything from cheesecake bites to snickers bars and defeat the whole purpose. 16 Handles is the place to do that.
This Astoria location is pretty good for a number of reasons; the staff is friendly and courteous, the place is kept pretty clean considering the number of kids who come in and take advantage of free samples, and froyo and toppings are kept stocked. I'm sure things get crazier in the peak of summer, but for now, I approve.
Some of the flavors currently include Eurotart, cake batter, graham cracker, pecan praline, peanut butter, coffee, vanilla, chocolate, a few fruit sorbets, and at least half a dozen other ones I can't remember.
As for toppings, everything from fruits to popping bubbles, caramel turtles, cheesecake bites, brownie bits, lots of cookies and candy bars/pieces, and of course, the classic sprinkles. But if you're like me and all you care about is mochi pieces, then fear not, they have that too.
Just be wary of the fact that at the peak of summer, this place collapses to a place of chaos and pandemonium, attracting the most raucous of kids, Greek princesses, and douchey gelled – hair muscular types. But let's not fault 16 Handles for that, the froyo is pretty darn good.
Ever since they got rid of my Salted caramel out hadn't been the same. Great location in Astoria.So if you r looking to indulge in something sweet but not to many calories, stop in.
This 16 Handles blows.
I have been trying to make a delicious creation with dunk yo cookies for three weeks now & each time I go (I've tried three times) it's always out!
I went yesterday and made a different sub par creation & the toppings were all messy & picked over. It felt as if this was a clearance sale the way things were all jumbled together, messy & out of stock.
I hate inconsistency & this chain location should provide me the same experience that I have elsewhere at other 16 Handles and it does not.
Save yourself some time & go to Vanilla Sky
