This is the only fro yo place in Washington Heights (although I predict more to come soon with the rapid rate of yuppie-fication happening around us), and it's pretty dang good! There are probably 10ish flavors or so and an extensive topping selection. The tart and strawberry/chocolate mix were divine! It also seems to be a lot cheaper than 16 Handles and Pinkberry, and there's a loyalty card for a free fro-yo with 5 stamps.
Only downside is the employees, as other reviewers have alluded to, are grumpy and rude. A small price to pay for delicious frozen dairy noms.
Funny when you go to your local hardware store to get a new screen for your window and are suddenly greeted by a sign that states a frozen yogurt shop will be opened in the summer. Well, froyo IS exciting, but I kind of wanted to keep the flies out of my room a little better. Ha!
Moving on…
Though a few have opened up in Inwood, I'm pretty sure this is the only froyo place in Washington Heights at this time. My stomach both loves and loathes the fact that it's opened up pretty much diagonally across the street from my apartment building. The interior is similar to any other self-serve froyo place you've been to. There are roughly a dozen different flavors as well as a bar filled with fruits, candies, and sauces to top your creation off. At 52 cents an ounce (if I recall correctly), the beau and I each got a decently-filled bowl at only $8 TOTAL. Normally, a single bowl of froyo at these self-serve places cost me a good $9 – $10 dollars each, despite my constant concerted efforts to make them as light as possible weight-wise. Haaa. That price shocked me! The product? Good. I was pleased with the Bananas Foster and Vanilla combined with some strawberries and shredded coconut. The Cookies & Cream flavor was pretty delicious as well.
This place also sells fresh-squeezed juices, smoothies, and bubble tea!
Hello, gentrification. WaHi finally has its froyo. Haaa. Well worth it, though. Tasty, tasty, tasty.
