So, I don't ever post on this site, though I do read the reviews quite often. But after visiting this Frogurt store I just had to say something =D.
When I first entered the store I was, how can I say this, stampeded by "hellos" and "welcome to Ian's yogurts" so I kinda of felt kind of awkward with all the attention (though I guess they were doing the same to everyone). As I took a quick look around, I was asked multiple times to sample EVERYTHING by who I think might of been the manager (owner?), he was nice but he was very eager to have me sample the yogurts. I then tried the mango, cookies and cream, and some variation of vanilla (yes I was told to try everything lol). Right after I received each sample I was extremely surprised how delicious ALL the flavors were. I think I liked the mango the best, but it felt like I couldn't leave without buying a bit of them all. (Thinks that about all I wanna say for my experience there =) but I'll list what I thought of certain things of the place)
Frogut: simply Delicious, was very rich in taste and anyone can tell these people went the extra mile to get something excellent. (wonder if they will ever have like a grape sorbet ^.^ )
Toppings: SOOOOOOO many choices! not only where there my faves like cookie dough and strawberries but they had some interesting ones that you know you would want on your yogurt or ice creams and they're are just never available, for example : mochies, coconut, mango, mini toppings as in gummy bears/ M&Ms and even FRUITY PEBBLES!
Price: the price per oz was .38 cents, which if you've visited any other places near Martinez you'll see it much lower then the surrounding competition. also they have an awesome frequent buyers card that if you get 10 purchases you can get a FREE yogurt with as much of everything as you can fit in the cup!
Enviorment: I really thought it was a cozy surrounding, the paint scheme was wonderful soft colors and with an assortment of modern age tables and "snazzy" photo posters, I could really see myself hanging out there with a few friends. There was also some music playing but I had no clue why, though music always brings in the mood this stuff they had on was really offsetting the place. I believe it was some maybe Hawaiian type of something? Though everything seemed kind of in place for a teen hangout, the music was probably meant for the senior crowd.
Cleanliness: Other then the bit of a mess around the toppings because of the large crowed that just left, I can't really say that I've seen any other yogurt/ ice cream/ even a fast food joint as clean as this place. I was only there for a short time, but in just that time, counters were cleaned constantly, tables were wiped down, and even the yogurt machines themselves were cleaned about every other minute.
Hours: These guys are open for such a long time! And why not? I love the idea of getting something sweet late in the day. I came in on Friday and he told me they were gonna be open till 10.
Employees: Other then the bit of hassling in the beginning from the one man, the overall vibe from the others were really relaxing. It seemed like there were two guys working, but even with a rush of people they still made the people around me and myself fell like I had their full attention. They were both very cute and seemed to have had everything in their grasps. The taller one with longer hair seemed to be very knowledgeable able with questions that might be asked by new visitors. While the slim white guy gave samples to anyone that would ask while running around cleaning machine trays and table tops.
I love this new place and can't wait to go back! By far the best yogurt shop around this area and I would highly recommend any one that has a sweet tooth to try this place out. read more
