Unfortunately, as soon as you walk in, it's like a bottle of Fabuloso punches you out in the face! It's the most offensive and overpowering smell. This is not welcoming to a food establishment and I couldn't wait to exit the store to clear my nose. I will not be back! read more

Ian's Yogurt - Inside. Noone is here :(. Maybe too pricey. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Martinez, California

Yummy yogurt :)! This place was a cute find right next to the Cat Lounge in Martinez. The plaza is pretty generous with parking and there is a lot to do in the area, so it makes for a perfect dessert after the movies(across the street), shopping or just eating out. The inside is small but allows for small groups of 2-4. Not much seating inside though, but there are areas to sit outside as well. The employees are very welcoming and nice, they also maintain the cleanliness of the establishment quite well. The flavors are pretty food whatever you choose to go for! Not too sweet, and definitely still delicious. Lots of toppings to choose from too! More dry toppings though, so you won't find as many jellies, popping bobas, and fruits. Definitely more than you'd find at your typical frozen yogurt place. It can be quite pricey compared to most places, my 12oz cup was around $8-10. Overall though, great place to drop by for frozen yogurt! read more

Ian's Yogurt - Yogurt in smallest cup size(12oz) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Martinez, California

I visited this location on Friday, 7/25 and purchased a regular cup of original tart to-go. I stored it in the freezer and had a few spoonfuls later that evening. Immediately, I noticed an overpowering soapy taste, but I assumed it might just be the flavor profile and kept eating. Not long after, I began feeling extremely nauseous. Two days later, I went to discard the rest. When I ran water over the frozen yogurt to melt it down, it started foaming and released a strong chemical odor. It was immediately clear that some sort of cleaning agent had contaminated the yogurt. This is completely unacceptable and poses a serious health risk. There is no excuse for food to be served with potential chemical residue. I will not be returning, and I strongly urge management to investigate their cleaning protocols before someone else gets sick. read more

Ian's Yogurt - Suds from yogurt - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Martinez, California

I'm not sure what they're using to clean their shop but the place smells intensely of cleaning product. Its so intense that I can taste it in the toppings after I leave. I feel bad for the employees that have to breath that in during their shift. read more

I loved the different flavors they have compared to the FroYo place in Benicia. I had watermelon, pistachio and pecan praline. All of these were good. There was no line so service was quick. The decor was a bit old school but there was spacious amount to hang out. The only thing missing was cherries on my froyo. read more

Used to like going to this place but for some reason that place always smells like someone just cleaned up a crime scene in there....its a mix of chemical cleaner smell and a bathroom after someone just took a big dump and tried to cover it up with way too much febreeze. I saw another review where someone said the yogurt tasted like cleaner and I'm not surprised. Not sure why someone would want their yogurt place to smell like this. read more

Bailey and agi are the only reason I go. They are great hard working people that give great service and help make great food. They make it feel like a good environment and I like going there when they are working. I don't like how loud it is though. read more

Ian's Yogurt - A great worker - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Martinez, California

Ian's Yogurt - Flavors - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Martinez, California

Friday 5-16-25 8:20pm. Looks closed...says open till 8:30. Employees let us in as they clean.... 2-3 more customers come in and one employee starts getting very frustrated that he can't close early. Every customer had something negative and rude said to them. Some customers even responded back ....it was very awkward being there to spend $20 on two yogurt bowls with your pregnant wife lol Wanted to try a local spot but won't be back. Back to yogurt land it is. I would fire that employee , dude was GRUMPY from the start. (Not one wearing LA hat, the other one who was heavier set, mask, glasses) looks like he's done this before (they call him Trevor) . Never seen someone so mad for not getting to close EARLY Ps. Google says you close at 9pm. Fire this dude or we not coming back (local and eat ice cream often) read more

The yogurt is pretty good here, there's not too many flavors though. It gets 4 stars because the inside smells of some sort of disinfectant so strongly that it makes everything in there stink. For example, the paper cups for the yogurt reek and I have to transfer the yogurt into a separate bowl in order to eat it. They also dump the water with the chemical in out on the sidewalk ao the whole area stinks. read more

The owner is extremely rude! I will never go back! I supported his business for years until he yelled at me because he gave me the wrong yogurt & told me I wasted his money! He is also mean to his staff. The kids who work there told me this. read more

Super cute froyo shop in the Nob Hill shopping center! The place was empty when I got there but super clean. They had a pretty good selection of yogurt flavors (including dole whip!) and toppings. I went for gummy bears, strawberry popping boba, and snowcaps. They also had a LOT of sauces but that's not my style. I'm guessing this place gets busier as the weather gets warmer, but the one girl working had it handled. Will definitely come back for my froyo fix! read more

Ian's Yogurt - Half dole whip half vanilla with toppings! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Martinez, California

The yogurt here is really good, something is seriously wrong with the owner though. Every time we have gone in there and he is there he is a super mean guy. He acts annoyed that you're even in his shop buying his yogurt. He's also super mean to his staff. I've seen him be super rude to a couple young kids working there. Guy needs to check himself, makes people not even want to go in there. Really strange! read more

Good to know this small business is still running. Their frozen yogurt prices are pretty standard and there's a rotation of yogurt flavors. The toppings are always fresh and stay stocked. read more

Ian's Yogurt - froyo - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Martinez, California

I decided to get some froyo from my favorite place in Martinez, and usually I am satisfied with the service they provide and it is always a delight to go there as I am a frequent customer but today I was taken a back and startled as the service I received from the "big fella " Trever, was anything but satisfactory. He was first of all rude as he grumbled to me when I walked in but then when I attempted to serve myself he made comments on what I was eating and the serving utensils were not provided as he was holding them for himself. Trevor ... do better, as the rest of the staff is above friendly. read more

Best froyo out there. I love the strawberry, my husband loves the pineapple dole whip, my son loves the chocolate, and my dad loves the sugar free options. They consistently have these flavors. Try em out :) read more

It's always a treat for my family to come and get froyo from Ian's. Super clean establishment, their yogurt flavors change often and have good flavor, lots of toppings and sauces to chose from and a friendly owner and staff members. read more

I really want to write a good review but I find it to be a bad policy to disallow paying customers to use the restroom. I'm a mother traveling solo who brought 5 kids to have a treat, spent $$60 on fro-yo and then told I had to leave this establishment and walk three doors down to use the restroom. Last time I bring my kids here. Overpriced & unworkable restroom policy. read more

Very expensive. Not enough choices. Not as clean as it could be. Yogurt ok. chocolate sauce tasted metallic .

Wow this place has gotten so expensive the past few years. We paid $22 for 2 yogurts.. and since it's self serve it's not like we could not get them. Won't be going here again. read more

If you love Maui Tropical Plantation's Dole Whip, or even Disneyland's Dole Whip, then you'll love Ian's Yogurt! You'll have to find the location, as it doesn't stand out in the shopping center. When you open the door you'll smell a clean disinfectant scent, everything is tidy and clean. The place is small, and there's not too many choices in flavors, but they have an array of options for toppings. The one thing that is never missing is in my opinion the star attraction...Pineapple Dole Whip! When I find myself thinking of or missing Maui, I come here to transport myself there with a taste reminiscent of it. I love choosing toppings from their fresh fruit selection, and of course the strawberry boba. I would definitely recommend trying them, but be warned that once you do you'll find yourself coming back for more. read more

Staff always closing early and have a disgruntled attitude towards customers coming in during business hours. I hope this reaches management! Adjust hours for staff or adjust staff expectations to match business hours. Love the froyo! read more

If you're looking to spend $40+ for a family of four people, then this place is fine for what it is. But if you think that is way too expensive then not only are you correct, but you should not go here. Sure, the frozen yogurt is decent, but it's no better than the next froyo place. Unfortunately, there's no alternatives in this area. Ian's is all you get. They don't even allow samples. My opinion is this place is WAY overpriced for frozen flavored milk. I won't be coming back because of the price. Otherwise, it's fine. Better off going to the supermarket and getting the same thing on sale, so you get way more and spend less. read more

Best froyo in town.. hands down!!! I used to work here in high school about 10 years ago and still come back as a customer because it's the best. The flavors are always on point, toppings are always fresh, and store is always clean! My favorite flavors are tart and peanut butter. read more

Place was clean! Customer service, definitely not friendly or welcoming at all! Overpriced (pay $10 for a yogurt with topping.. basically a medium sized with a topping that I normally would pay $6 for elsewhere) I felt ripped off. But the frozen yogurt was good. Better off going somewhere else to get a sweet treat, especially with better service. The guy working was not friendly at all! read more

Nice owner and great yogurt. Just what I wanted for lunch on a warm day! I hope they keep going as I was the only one in there but it was a sleepy time of day! read more

Love love this place! We were in Martinez for a basketball tournament and came by here both days for the Dole pineapple and the peach I think. Both were very delicious and the toooings weee endless and delicious. 3 generations loved them and we shall be back. read more

The best yogurt place I've ever had! It's creamy dreamy and love the flavors. 10 stars !!!!

They have low fat and sugar free options. They have so many toppings to choose from including fresh fruit. A great treat for all.

I'm always on the lookout for a new dessert spot to try out. If it has cookies and cakes, I got to try it out. If it got floats and ice cream, I got to try it out. If it got boba (yes, I think that can be a part of a dessert) and frozen yogurt, I got to try it out. The people I work for told me about this mom and pop "froyo" spot during work today. They said that it's different from the other more known chains of frozen yogurt places. I got rave reviews from them about how the flavors are great and change weekly, the toppings, and the service. Hmm, intriguing. I never go around the Martinez neck of the woods often. It wasn't hard finding this place, though, thanks to the power of GPS. The shop is tucked away into a nice little shopping and food area called Nob Hill. There's a Kinders by it, a CVS (or was it a Raley's,) a Chinese spot, a grill, a Subway, etc. Parking wasn't difficult. Sure, they were a lot of automobiles around, but it didn't take may more than three minutes to find a sport within a few seconds of walking to Ian's Yogurt. First thing I noticed is that they had only about eight flavors today: Dutch Chocolate, Cookies n Cream, Cotton Canday, Vanilla Bean, Peanut Butter, and others that I can't name at the top of my head. (Disappointed that there was no red velvet, but then again, I can't expect every frozen yogurt spot to have my favorite flavor of all time.) Second thing I noticed was the amount of toppings one could put on. There were loads of them. More than just the standard toppings that other chains had. Oh, this place had the regular stuff and then some. A lot of different candies, cereals, fruits, etc. My particular amazement was the amount of different syrups. White chocolate that is sugar free? Chocolate syrup, marshmallow syrup, peanut butter syrup. GET OUT OF TOWN. There was only one person I saw up front working. He was very patient with me. I needed to try all the flavors. I would ask for a sample of the cotton candy. He'd personally get me one. I'd ask for a sample of the peanut butter. Again, he'd get me one himself. The cotton candy was really, really sweet. The peanut butter wasn't too overpowering, but it was tasty. I decided to go with my other go to flavor (that isn't red velvet) cookies n cream and I also put on some Dutch chocolate. Toppings time! I put in some sugar worms, Fruity Pebbles, some yogurt pretzels, cookie dough, kiwi, sugar free white chocolate syrup, and sugar free marshmallow syrup. Ohmygoodnessitalltastedsogoodtogetherakenagieoawn. What a wonderful combination! The frozen yogurt was delightfully cold and the toppings weren't stale. The toppings were fresh and exquisite. The fruit wasn't frozen like it is in some Tutti Fruttis I've been in. Price was reasonable too. Paid about $4.50. (0.45 cents per ounce). Definitely my preferred frozen yogurt place so far. YUMMY IN MY TUMMY read more

Excellent yogurt, exorbitant prices. .85 cents an ounce is overpriced IMO. No military or veteran discount - bummer since right beside the VA Hospital. read more

Good neighborhood soft serve Yogurt shop. Simple straight forward with lots of toppings.

Yogurt is great. The place is always extremely clean. The owner can be a little on the harsh side to say the least, he is charging the customers for spoons if they are eating the yogurt at home and not there. He also charges ten cents for a tiny bag. The customer is already paying a premium price for the yogurt. Granted the yogurt is good, this is not the norm and that "Mom and Pop" welcome feeling is not there. But again, we go there for the yogurt, not the service. :) read more

I think I have the ancient Chinese secret of how to survive these heat spells that inland East Bay is so relentless to sport: 100+F temps... FROYO CRAWLS WOW Pleasantly surprised; glad my coworker mentioned things I can "see" (see=taste) when I go and see my granny. Never knew a nice shopping strip was just off the 4.. and that Ian's was so good... even though they do charge 38 cents/oz (more than the ave.), I was really really happy to taste their yogurt. Fabulous taste and smoothness...very good self-serve. In fact, I did something I hardly ever do: i doctored up my lemon and plain combo with super fresh oreo pieces and som kiwi....I enjoyed every single drop, trying to survive the dry heat. I'm a believer..and I'm comin' back. read more

Yummy! Super nice helpful staff following covid protocols! They serve your yogurt for you rt now! So no self serve! Love the pineapple tastes just like the dole pineapple one in Disneyland!!

Ian's Yogurt - Pineapple is delicious - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Martinez, California

My family and I enjoy going to this place for frozen yogurt when we are in the area. The place looks and smells very clean. The staff have always been friendly when we walk in. All the flavors are yummy: cotton candy (for the kids), pineapple, tart, strawberry and chocolate have been some of our favorite flavors. We love all the topping options - nuts, chocolates, gummies, sauces and fruits. read more

This place is currently open, which is absolutely great! I was pleasantly surprised to hear that they have been open this whole time. Due to Covid 19, someone makes your frozen yogurt for you and puts the topings you want on it. I absolutely love this place. It has great frozen yogurt flavors that are always being switched out for others, it takes delicious, and it has been so refreshing during the recent hot days that we have been having. They have a wide variety of toppings. It is a nice and refreshing treat! read more

2 stars for two reasons. #1. After not having Ian's in a long time, I came back to try the ice cream and WOW is everything sweet. It's the type of sweet where you get kind of a bizarre film in the back of your throat and you're reaching for water. Not sure if the recipe has changed or... #2. The cashier was a very polite and lovely young girl who was ringing me up. It seems she forgot how to use Apple Pay and seemed a little fluster. Then I found out why... A man came up to her,, I'm assuming the owner, and finished the transaction. Yet, he didn't leave without being EXTREMELY condescending to the young girl working the cashier. He patronizingly read aloud the flyer on the back that read instructions about Apple Pay. To be honest: when you see the owner treat their staff in such a demeaning way, KNOWING that the young girl has virtually no voice in that scenario, it makes you feel like of disgusted. Yogurt is supposed to make you feel good, but I felt like I was in an episode of "What Would You do?" read more

I came to Ian's Yogurt for a quick pick me up in the afternoon. The man at the counter (not sure if he was the owner) was very nice and offered my friend and I samples. They have some unique flavors and an assortment of sauces and toppings including fresh fruit. It's a pretty standard frozen yogurt place as far as the process goes get your yogurt, add toppings, weigh & pay. read more
