This Yogurtland in Westlake Village, I will say, has been one of, if not the only one in the…read moreshopping areas on this side of the freeway to be a self-serve fro-yo ice cream store and still be in business after 10 years. They once competed with Menchies and Pink-berry both just across in adjacent shopping centers. Now, it's one of the go-to fro-yo places, if not Yozen Frogurt across the freeway.
Between the two, if you're looking for fro-yo, Yogurtland is the way to go. If you're looking for a sweet treat or any kind of ice cream, Yogurtland typically isn't my first choice. Every single time I've come to this location, at least one of the flavors doesn't work and is just liquid. There's not always a sign, and this most recent time, it was their tart and root-beer float flavors. The flavors that they did have were good and offered a variety of around 10 options, some of which change based on new promotions or events happening. When it comes to dairy free, I think they had only one sorbet flavor unfortunately. For their toppings, there's a bunch to choose from like fruit, candy, mochi, cereal, sauces, and more.
My sister and I put ours on the scale, paid, and sat outside to eat. When it comes to price, Yogurtland isn't bad, but they're definitely not great and have raised their price per ounce. Now, they're about $0.70-$0.85 an ounce, but it really ranges based on location, some going up to $1.35 an ounce. Even so, that means that a pint of ice cream would cost you $13.60 without tax, when a normal pint of ice cream at the store is around $3-$5. That's like having three pints of ice cream vs. one.
They have seating inside and outside, which is nice, as well as a fountain outside with the neighboring restaurants and stores. This is a place where a lot of the surrounding high school students come through, so I wouldn't expect peace and quiet, even though the neighborhoods typically are. The workers at Yogurtland have also pretty much always have been high schoolers or college students, and most of the time, there seems to be only one person working, so sometimes the process can be a bit timely.
Overall, Yogurtland isn't a bad place to grab fro-yo, but if you want ice cream or a sweet treat, you might be better off spending the same money, if not less, getting a pint of Ben and Jerry's at the grocery store across the street.
