I arrived just after they opened for the day. Staff member greeted me and was friendly. The Mango Froyo was good but the granola was rather "earthy" tasting. One topping, in this case, a small scoop of granola, added $1.25 to the cost - Definitely not worth it, if I was to go again, I would skip the topping. I did appreciate the prices being clearly listed. read more

The frozen yogurt tasted weird I don't know why, but that's just me.The ice cream was great though they only had cinnamon vanilla.The peanut brittle was good as well.The service was great except that one of the card machines you couldn't swipe cards on so we had to wait for the other one to be open.The store is nice and quiet usually not too busy, with a nice table next to the window and the feel of it is welcoming. Although most of it is good, you can't but much with just fifteen dollars, although the food is good it was pretty pricey. read more

Ayelada - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pittsfield, Massachusetts

It's a cute yogurt spot with delicious flavors and friendly service. I highly recommend coming here for dessert--something different from ice cream that's lighter but still hits the spot. read more

Usually everyone here working is nice but today a very young girl took my order, (6/26/26 @ 1:30PM) she was very impatient and rude. I'm not sure if this is the type of people they are hiring nowadays at these establishments?? It's literally an embarrassment on the business, I most definitely won't be back again, I won't spend my hard earn money on a place who disrespects customers for no reason... read more

Great fast service. Yummy frozen yogurt. Great selection of toppings. Always let you taste if you're not sure. Perfect on a hot summer day read more

In the heart of Pittsfield, Massachusetts is the best ice cream your tongue will ever taste, called "Ayelada". This delicious place came recommended by the locals and it is the best! I'm not sure what they put in it or how they do it but I'm addicted!! I've been several times and these are the ones I've had...vanilla with strawberries, blueberries & chocolate chips, next 3 visits I had the banana cream pie with yogurt dollops topping , and this last visit I had the watermelon with fresh watermelon topping. The fruit toppings were fresh from farm, only the best! The service is phenomenal every single time that I have been here everybody has been so nice and so prompt to help every customer . The inside of the establishment is clean plenty of seats. There is also outside seating. Bathrooms were clean too! I just connected the the owners of CRUST is the same owner of AYELADA, it all makes sense as the are next door to each other and both are absolutely the best in town! These owners obviously know what they are doing! Keep up the great work!! Cheers read more

Hello, today i was in ayelada and some teenager who appears to be new, and wasn't in uniform decided to treat me and my friend with insane disrespect. She was giving us dirty looks and was pushing around her coworkers while screaming at us for what we wanted. She then proceeded to go outside with her boyfriend for over 5 minutes. I will say the yogurt was delicious, and others were kind per usual but i did not appreciate her attitude with me. read more

Excellent options including GF toppings and dairy free. Many USB ports and purse hooks along walls for convenience when eating in. Clean tables. Quick and efficient service read more

Great tasty frozen yogurt. Pleasant staff who were helpful getting tastes to try flavors. Very clean. Plentiful parking.

While visiting the area, we were recommended to try this place. Unfortunately, we agree with some of the other reviews and are not a fan of their yogurt. We both ordered the Dulce de Leche and it had absolutely no caramel/buttery or sweet flavor. As others have stated their yogurt has a sour/tart taste. read more

Wow had heard great things.... It's even Better. They have so many people working here. I swear there was like 7-8 people on a random Thursday afternoon. Like three girls and back three girls in front and they were so nice. The place is immaculate completely clean and is actually much larger than I imagined. They have great vegan flavors and obviously I'm sure are very well known for their non-vegan flavors. My kids absolutely loved it and honestly the portions were so big no one finished my food. Very fun young environment in there to just a happy cute I've cream shop. read more

We decided to have dessert here after we had pizza next door at Crust. We though that's because Crust was so great this place would be too, same owner. That was a mistake. The passion fruit frozen yogurt didn't taste like it had any flavor. So much so that I asked the girl behind the counter if she gave me original by mistake. She said no, didn't offer to swap it or to make another, just no. We ended up just throwing it out and leaving. Not a good experience. read more

Ayelada - "Passion fruit" frozen yogurt - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pittsfield, Massachusetts

Good yogurt. Good toppings. Pretty basic. Nice place to sit and chat. Staff weren't overly helpful in explaining things but seemed nice enough. read more

This spot offers a few flavors daily but at least one is vegan/dairy free. This time I tried the dairy-free chocolate-banana which was so much better than expected! I'm not the biggest fan of chocolate or strong banana flavor but honestly this yogurt perfectly blended the two together. It was also super light and refreshing. I was overwhelmed by the toppings offered so I enjoyed it with the classic rainbow sprinkles and it was perfect. Patrons have the option to order online and pick up curbside, or order right outside the door. I will say I agree that the service needs some work as I found the woman who served me to be rather curt, but I'll live. read more

Ayelada - Chocolate-banana with rainbow sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pittsfield, Massachusetts

My favorite frozen yogurt spot. Unlike this chain places, the ingredients here are the best. Side Hill Farm yogurt is the stuff you will find in a gourmet food store like Guidos. Almost everything comes from Brekshire or nearby areas. Fresh and delicious. read more

My boyfriend and I absolutely love Ayelada. We went like almost every night this summer, super bad for the diet... but super delicious! Their fruity yogurts are so refreshing especially with fresh fruit toppings. On a hot day we couldn't wait to end the day with a delicious treat from Ayelada. In addition to the fro yo, the staff is also amazing. They are always so friendly and ready to help. They keep the place immaculate & the music is always good. No disappointments ever! read more

They use locally-made, grass-fed probiotic yoghurt in their soft serve frozen yoghurt. They also have ice cream and non-dairy options. I was a big fan of delicious and affordable King Cone but since they seem to have permanently closed, Ayelada is my new go-to. read more

Mediocre at best. Went there expecting some great, locally made, ice cream, only to encounter that same soft serve stuff you find in literally thousands of places around the country. Only four or five flavors, and at least the one I had (non-dairy coffee) didn't taste like much. Plenty of toppings, but who cares about toppings anyway. It's all about the quality and flavor. This was decent quality, but zero flavor. Ambience is okay if you want to bring the kids, and service was courteous if a bit slow. Not worth a trip, and only worth it if you're in the area if you are a soft serve aficcionado. Not for foodies, or real ice cream fans. read more

Another flavorful fro-yo that isn't cloyingly sweet. Local dairy. Excellent and refreshing. read more

Your frozen yogurt is not good. It tastes like sour milk. Tried your chocolate malt flavor and couldn't get past one bite. I won't be coming back to your store read more

Hmm I've been having mixed feelings with this place recently. Service is often mediocre, not very welcoming. Today there were no mochi(which is my main reason to eat froyo). Strawberries were overripe and gross. The staff put too many chips and just a few other toppings. She didn't give me receipt either. It was such a disappointment... Froyo here is good but service is really the downside. read more

Omg absolutely delicious!! The lemon is so so good! The added topping is incredible however it's all sugar, not needed ( but absolutely delicious) call ahead to get daily flavors. Very friendly staff and very clean! read more

Great froyo spot. They have a great rotating flavor menu with excellent toppings. Made from a regional farm. Love pre-ordering on their app.

I always go when they have certain flavors. I love anything with lemon or strawberry. The toppings are fresh and delicious.

Hands down, one of my favorite froozen yogurt shop of all time, and I am in NYC and Boston a lot. It is as good as Pink Berry if not better. Tangy, sweet, yummy and afterwards you feel good - no sluggish. Great ingrediants, nice staff, great flavors and super clean place. read more

yogurt was really good, the rude staff make me not want to return, however. horrible look on their faces, not greeted, no smiles, ignored all of my "thank you's," hiding in the back. read more

Fun place with tasty treats, but seems overpriced. I'm sure that the product is decent quality, but still hard to swallow the price tag.

The product is absolutely addicting! I love ayelada and always get the pints. In the last few months their flavors have been lacking. Their used to be some tasty variety, but now it's gotten to be slim pickins. Thank goodness for original or lately I'd be left with 3 variations of chocolate and...not much else. read more

I've been many places for frozen yogurt. This place is the cream of the crop. Locally sourced Ingredients. Believe me you can taste the difference. The flavors are endless and the toppings they add to the flavors of the week are so tasty and creative. The owner one day took her time with me to taste and explain the whole process. I recommend and fully support this business sometimes twice a week. From North Adams. read more

I'd give this place 10 stars, but 5 will do. Yum Yum Yummy! This place is dangerously addictive and I am not someone who craves ice cream let alone frozen yogurt. Ayelada has created a refreshing, sweet (not overly sweet) flavor frozen bomb for your palate to enjoy! With new weekly flavors that keep you coming back and a wonderful array of toppings. The frozen yogurt is not too hard or too soft, yet just right! Thank you frozen yogurt Gods!!! read more

Yogurt was good. Got cannoli and Mexican chocolate with cookie dough. Tables were all dirty and there was an ant on ours. read more

Ayelada - Ant on table - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pittsfield, Massachusetts

I had heard good things about this place so I decided to try it..... The yogurt was gross, the service was mediocre at best.... will not return.... owner has no respect for other local businesses .... in the world of mega companies like Amazon and Walmart, local businesses have a hard enough time surviving without people like the owner of this place trying to sabotage other local businesses... he had a diner evicted that was many people's favorite breakfast spot just so he could open a pizza place directly across the street from another pizza restaurant that has been in business for years.... Disgraceful!! read more

Friendly service, lots of topping choices and the yogurt is delicious. Fun clean look.

I don't always admit it when my mother-in-law is right, but she nailed this one. She said that the frozen yogurt at Ayelada is the best she's ever had and that I'd agree. Darn it, she was right! The yogurt here is the best frozen yogurt I've ever had. They only have two machines, each with two flavors. I tasted all four. Today's flavors were original (mildly tart), strawberry-banana, dark chocolate and almond butter. They're all based on the original, made on the premises and all taste much more like fresh ingredients than the other multi-handled competitors that I've visited. Don't get me wrong; I like the chain frozen yogurt shops with their vast inventive flavor selections. But this place is simpler, more wholesome and more delicious. I will definitely be back, maybe even with my mother-in-law. (I should probably treat, right?) read more

Wow! There is NO comparison of this store with any other frozen yogurt place! It is the best I've ever had. They even let you have more than one flavor. Suggestion: peach pie + raspberry = Peach Melba! The raspberry is so intense, though, you need less of it than the peach in one bite. You have have add ons... But I'm a purist. read more

Ayelada is the Greek word for cow and nostimo is the Greek word for delicious! If your palate is ready to step away from the heavily processed, overly sugary frozen yogurt found in many other well-known buffet-topping chains, then open wide and get ready to smile, as Ayelada is sure to delight. I can count on my sister's good taste and appreciation for local, sustainable living, so I expected only the best when she steered the minivan with three generations of our family into town for an afternoon snack following a morning concert at Tanglewood. Minimalist décor and well-lit, the friendly service helped us get started out on the right foot. I was even happier when the staff was kind enough to check on options for my nephew with his nut allergies. The triple berry flavor was quite good, but I decided to go with dark chocolate raspberry, although the original and tropical punch were also well-liked among the group. Check their website for a listing of current flavors, as they change weekly. The topping options gave me plenty to ponder and I was impressed with the cleanliness of the space. Recycling of the colorful spoons is a nice touch, although you may want to bring them home for cleaning and future use for kids. I find that it is easy to give someplace focused on dessert options five stars, but Ayelada really deserves high praise for the quality and feel-good experience. As they proclaim - fresh, local and real! read more

Ayelada - Dark chocolate raspberry - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pittsfield, Massachusetts

We dropped in at this froyo store after having dinner in the area and we loved this restaurant. The store was clean, the staff was polite, and the frozen yogurt was incredible. The toppings bar was well stocked and the quality blew us out of the water. The small critiques we had were that they didn't have a no sugar added option. This was not a large concern and didn't impact our rating. The slight letdown was that the serving looked huge, but when we got it there was a huge empty space in the center of the serving. That being said, this is a great location and we hope to come back in the future. The birthday cake flavor here had to be the best that we have ever had! read more
