Vanilla Sky
“They have unique and delicious flavors and everything is self serve.”
“Vanilla Sky froyo is not as heavy as other places like 16 Handles, which is good for me since I am not a fan of froyo that leans towards ice cream-froyo scale.”
“Not only is the storefront itself almost 3 times as large as Red Mango or Yogo Monster, but it's bright too!”

We had a very bad experience.
1. The price is very expensive, while their yogurt is just bland. And no sampling.
2. The music is loud.
3. Sunshine is too strong in the afternoon. They should have curtains.
4. The server is very rude.
OK let me first start off by saying I want to kick myself for not coming in here sooner. I came here last night for after dinner dessert. Was literally timing it to get in the door on time since according to yelp I only had 10 minutes to get there before the door close at 11 PM and I was on a mission for frozen yogurt. Frozen soft serve yogurt that is.
As as I entered my eyes went straight for the frozen yogurt machines as my eyes moved up and down and left and right trying to make a decision like oh crap what should I get my mind quickly made a decision pick a few options so I started to pile three flavors on the bottom and hey why not pile three more different flavors on top of those?
As it was piling my three top flavors I decided I'd put cookies and cream on top as well even though I had it on bottom you can't have enough cookies and cream anyway. yummy!
I made my way to the topping station oh my oh my oh my so many decisions chocolate go lore I had to add some chocolate chips, chocolate sprinkles, marshmallows and top it off with some gummy bears I was so thrilled with my creation I couldn't wait to dig in.
It was like a party in my mouth all the sweet flavors of the cookies and cream with gummy bears and then the vanilla sky mixed with some chocolate chips marshmallows I was in frozen yogurt heaven, Ohhhhhhh I can't wait to go back to stuff my face with some softserve frozen yogurt with toppings of course oh PS it's a little pricey but so worth it.
Really not a fan of the froyo here…. I think ill be sticking to the chains such as red mango, 16 handles & pink berry. The flavors were way off. I settled with the coconut flavor because it was the only flavor that came some what close to how coconut should taste. The selection of toppings offered were not great either.

Ahh, the fragrant scent of vanilla
I'm riding on cloud nine or a vanilla cloud
Frozen yogurt's popularity appears to be cropping almost everywhere and Forest Hills is no exception. Roaming around my former hood of Forest Hills I wanted to try some frozen yogurt after brunch. Self-serve yogurt stations to select your base yogurt in a assembly line order then to collect one's toppings followed by checkout with payment by weighing your cup(s). Party of two with fellow Yelper, Angel R. and fellow poet/writer our two respective cups 15.3 oz for $.54 per oz. totaling $8.26 plus tax. A good selection of toppings, as always my favorite classic, fresh strawberries is my preferred choice of toppings. Seating is limited and there is also a good selection of tea and coffee available.
Note: I do not know if facilities are available on premise.
Next to Mexican food, I miss froyo from Arizona the most. I decided to give this place a try, despite the reviews because… well… I was desperate for froyo!
I asked for sample cups and the worker politely replied that they didn't do samples. *screeching halt* Seriously!? Oh well. I tried the pumpkin and caramel, both were pretty good. It was a little pricey for what we got but it satisfied my craving.
No sampling? That's just ridiculous. Not like people aren't going to get creative to steal a lick.
Anyway, this is a self serve yogurt shop where you choose your frozen yogurt flavor and go to a toppings station to pile on whatever your little heart desires. All for $0.54/ounce.
I tried three flavors: euro tart, plum, and pistachio. The pistachio yogurt combined with crumbled pistachio nuts is pretty darn awesome and my favorite of the three. The euro tart is well… very tarty and only subtly sweet which is just the way I like it. Both the pistachio and euro tart yogurts are quite creamy in consistency. The plum one was too icy, like an Italian ice. Plum is definitely a unique flavor for a froyo but I probably would not get that again.
Overall, this place has ample lighting, good amount of seats, and some fairly tasty frozen yogurts. However, I still prefer my Pinkberry or Red Mango any day.
Unfortunately, I did not have a marvelous experience at this place, where I ordered a small hot chocolate.
While I get that it should be sweet, I feel as though this one was too sweet almost. I will also say that marshmallows were the same ones that go in ice cream (ie too large to fit through cup lid).
Temperature for a night as frigid as the one in question was spot on.
Service was indifferent, the two young ladies working behind the seemed like they did not want to be there, and were more engrossed in their personal conversations than they were taking care of the customer.
I work in retail, so I know a little about how things look from behind the counter. I am not against people in the service industry talking amongst themselves, or to their friend(s) who are in the store/restaurant. But when a customer is ordering at the counter, it is best to suspend the conversation for a minute.
We were in the mood for some frozen yogurt after dinner. They had a good variety of flavors. Decent toppings. I had four flavors: pistachio, coffee, coconut, and peach. All were decent except coffee. Pistachio was my fave. Toppings were meh. The yogurt had too much water (not sure if that's the right way to describe it). Like it wasn't as rich as it should be. Two of us $14 and change for half cup fulls. Not worth it. I'd go with Red Mango next time.
